‘Hitler was
right’!?
You must be
kidding me, is it time for humans to be killed off by aliens from far off lands
yet? Because I think it is, especially when this sort of nonsense starts
popping up in the world and gets a significant amount of support and coverage.
Wow…just wow.
I really didn’t think you could do it humanity, but once again you have proven
me wrong.
I have
recently come upon a few articles that have some pretty extensive coverage
about a few of the struggles that are plaguing the world, from the troubles between
America and North Korea; the fighting in Gaza and the shooting down of a
commercial aircraft in Ukraine, everything makes me wonder: why is humanity so
eager to make itself extinct?
But what
really gets my goat is the twitter explosion I recently came across that struck
me stupid.
It really boggles
my mind to wonder how people can think to praise a man people are getting awarded
for ‘attempting’ to assassinate. I mean seriously, who would have thought the
day would come when a man who found a way to damn his own name so badly that
anyone who dares to use it will find themselves charged with child abuse as ruled
in a court of [real] law.
I’m almost
speechless…
I wonder if
the fools that first began the twitter rage even know that the infamous third Reich
was in part to blame for the beginning of the Second World War, or maybe that’s
it. Maybe there are individuals who feel robbed of the experience that the WW2
gave to the people of way back when and want the seemingly inevitable Third World
War to just start already while they’re still young?
Whatever it
is, it is stupid.
On looking
further into the matter I made a surprising and disturbing discovery. To think
that this stupidity comes from someone affiliated with South African politics,
our very own ANC no less, is absolutely mind-blowing.
I don’t see
how inciting the wrath of the people who still sting from one of history’s most
painful massacres will help South Africa in any way other than to remind the
world that our country needs to get its act together before somebody else comes
along and does it for us.
It’s bad
enough with all the issues that flood our economy with all these strikes and
whatnot that have investors shifting their eyes elsewhere.
I’d like to
know what Rene Smit had thought she knew about Hitler’s reign when she shared
her views so publicly. The idea that she only used the legend as a tool to
get her point across sends shivers up my spine. Surely when thinking about something
you need to consider the repercussions of what you let waltzing out your
face-hole.
And those repercussions
sure are something… Looking through some of the posts made by humans that walk
the same earth as the rest of us, has made me look to the stars in hopes that
maybe it’s all just some huge, sick practical joke. The amount of people who
are effectively enforcing Nazi mentality is scary and leads one to question the
moral compass that is being crafted by the current society that governs us.
Smit is
reported saying how the post was shared as part of a protest to some brutal
killings in Gaza, only to later admit to taking it down ‘once she became aware
that it was inappropriate and offensive’… seriously.
No seriously-
this woman had to be made aware that such reference was ‘inappropriate and
offensive’ before she had to take it down. Am I stretching too far in guessing
that that decision was probably made due to the position and certain political affiliation
she had?
Whatever the
case, like all things said and done: the damage is there and the dye cast. No amount
of distancing from the social media manager or the political party she is
associated with will change the snowball that rolls through the interwebs as it
travels across the world.
I guess all we
can hope for is that the growing snowball hits a deep dark hole in the
interwebs and vanishes before becoming just another layer of reason some
country grabs onto to incite a third sparring of politics that the common
citizen will have to pay with their lives.
How far must
our race fall before we’re too gone to be saved?
