10. Well they seem to have found their white "Christian" martyr. I had to go look up Horst Wessel...

…when somebody referenced it, yet again. I always thought it was a song (as in “They’re singing the Horst Wessel” ) but it turns out to have been the name of a flaming young Nazi who got himself murdered about 1929 — he had written a patriotic song for and about Nazis, and he and it got popularized and valorized to hell and back, all over the Third Reich.

So, yeah. Have our wannabe White Xian Nationalists found their bleeding martyr? Is there a song coming out?
