Russian Neo-Nazi resurgence

[TripeHoundRedux]

Yeah never thought there was much enthusiasm evident for god to save pennies let alone the Queen/King in that.

I Like Jerusalem though, that wouldn't be a bad one, nothing says anthem like the hallucinatory ravings of a Swedenborg inspired proto-romantic poet.*

* one of my all time favourite poets incidentally.

I am this far away from posting Rule Britannia but I'll resist, the proms are ace.

Yeah... As much as I love the England football supporters belting out "God Save the Queen" or "Rule Brittania" during a match, "Jerusalem" is a bit more inspiring.  Probably a bit more tuneful too, so that's why they don't do it.

How many millions of Russians were killed by Nazis during WWII?  Where's that Eddie Izzard YouTube video when I need it?

Why would they possibly be open to listening to anything connected to that?

I think I'm pretty much on the same page as PSCD.  I don't see a Nazi movement succeeding anywhere, but especially in the U.S.A., Russia, Britain or Western Europe.  It's for that reason that I generally find them funny.  At least here in the states, since they are generally inbred, mouth breathers who hold their rallies as far away from civilization as possible.  Probably since they realize that they'd get their punk asses kicked anywhere else.  It's easy to scream for white power when the only audience are trees and the occasional deer.

And from a bravado point of view, the Russians were really the one army the NAZI were scared of.

Why would you want to emulate people who were scared of Grandpa?

You can always count on me for Eddie... (met the man; he's a wonderful person)  Video is NSFW.

But, as he mentions, you do have to remember that the Soviets killed more of their own people than the Nazis did, so they don't have a good track record of following sane people.

Well...don't forget that the Bund party (American Nazi) was VERY popular just before we joined the war in Europe.  We've not always been the best on our game, either.

Er you won't find somebody from Britain defending the EU.

We still use pounds.

You guys are focusing on the symptoms instead of focusing on the causes.
Nazi or whatever they want to call it is just a reaction to bad economic conditions and social turmoil caused by a lack of a representative government and corruption.  I don't think that amount of people would identify as Nazi if they had faith in their leaders, and economic and social security.

But the Soviets weren't showing their people films like this about Stalin...
