1. Well,

they were called the Bundt or Bund depending on were you lived during the late Thirties and early forties. Same shit and same smell. Sad to say,Grand Children of those folks are now are Neo Nazi's and Right wing militia's.

2. All true.

I'll be surprised if neonazi doesn't stick in the history books. White supremacists in or out of uniform who kill unarmed black and brown people, plus sundown towns (still), plus Republican 'law and order' people = neonazis.

Neonazis are also like nazis in that they truly, deep down feel that they are aggrieved victims of every conspiracy they can proclaim at their national RNC rally.

3. When my Brother did a

Ancestry search a few years ago. And compared it to one done by my cousins fifty years ago. Yes,we had a couple very nasty people doing things in the Fatherland during the late thirties and early forties. Cousins found communications pointing that out.

4. Europe

was where racism and capitalism were co-created and legitimized as social and economic policy.

Jill Lepore just said her favorite unforgettable book is Blindness, by Jose Saramago (1998 Nobel Prize winner), about a city hit by an epidemic of "white blindness," which spares no one, and the nightmare that ensues.

Seems like the whole human race really does need to see the how timeless is: "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do." No wonder Der Spiegel.
