The
Charlottesville killer had a fascination with Nazism and the German military.
One of his high school teachers tried to steer him clear of that crap, but
obviously failed. The killer’s mother claims that she had no idea that he was
going to a Nazi rally—she thought he was rallying for Trump, but one wonders
how she could have been totally ignorant of his Nazi obsessions and activity.
In any case,
I blame all of America, not just his mom, for letting his idiotic ideological
explorations go unchecked. The election of Donald Trump was an endorsement of
bigotry, but many Americans who don’t consider themselves Nazis or even bigots,
went along with it. Trump calls for unity now and then, but his call is insincere:
he has no respect for the thoughts and feelings of others.
People whine
about political correctness but this is why we have it: the left must be
militant about fighting any trace of Nazism, fascism, racism, sexism, anti-Semitism,
etc. Let your guard down and you get Charlottesville.
Until people
accept the fact that they are their brother’s keeper and that true unity is a
requirement, not an option, the madness will perpetuate.
