I’ve decided to delete today’s post. I get a lot of hate mail from
extremists of all flavors, and I usually just quietly trash them. It
took comments today from Darko and Simon to remind me that this is essentially the best way to deal with these kinds of things.
This
is not to say that Nazism isn’t repugnant or shouldn’t be spoken out
against. It most certainly is, especially when it manifests itself here.
But Nazism is something that cannot be engaged on any intellectual
level. It’s an emotion; a desire for violence, wrapped in symbols that
mean nothing. Indeed, to say that you are a Slovenian patriot and a
Slovenian Nazi is an oxymoron. The former connotates love of this
country, Nazism has always stood for the annihilation of it.
Either way, I don’t want to waste time picking fights or
provoking more fights. I’m not in high school anymore, despite my
occasional urges to headbang to "Blackened". In the end, it’s just not worth it.
Have a good weekend.
