I seem to recall an interview with Shatner that he and Nimoy, being Jewish, were both a little uneasy about wearing those uniforms.
Mod note: Stay on topic. Don’t derail.
Well we weren’t nearly careful enough, and the times are ripe for this breed of worthless shitstains to rear their heads again.
Although, as my grandmother used to say about Neonazi-Skinhead-Scum like this back in the 90s, “under Hitler they would all have been gassed”. She isn’t a nice lady and I’m afraid she was anything but a staunch opponent to the Nazi regime back in the day, but she may be right about that.
And “Hitler88”, what the fuck is that even supposed to mean, “Hitler heil Hitler”?

Came here to point out that “Hitler88” is sooooo last century.
I believe a few of us already do, but have already shortened it to christofashist. They’re not worthy of a capital letter IMO.
@jlw: We have a very sharp hatchet and heavy maul available for your use.
Doh, now that I think about it, that’s right. Corrected.
Yep - if you look closely in some classic Trek scenes, you can see his missing finger, but they tried to hide it. And yeah, he got very lucky with a cigarette case some how stopping (or maybe something else slowed it down first) the one that would have hit his chest.
Most people would just check out and go home at that point, but went on to server as an Air Observation Pilot for the RCAF.
And “they” say smoking kills…
As I understand it they actually hate secular Jews more because they look just like real people, you can’t see them coming.
Reminds me of a South African (white ANC member) telling me years ago how he was talking to a woman who said that (a) black people all smelled funny and (b) you couldn’t allow them in cinemas because they might sit next to you without your knowing it.
Sorry you had to/have to deal with these assholes, Jason. In a slight coincidence, I was watching ST:Enterprise last night and the episode I’m up to is S4E1, where time-traveling aliens have allied with the Nazis on Earth. Although it’s worth noting that I was drinking at the time, I had a visceral reaction to seeing their White House mockup:
I basically was shouting, “IT’S THE tRUMP WHITE HOUSE IT’S THE tRUMP WHITE HOUSE!!!” And this is why my tv is in the basement.
I read the headline and thought of someone much worse. I’m not at all criticizing the headline (“attack” is a 100% valid description), I just wanted to say I’m glad @jlw is alive and well.
Also, I just want to say regarding “Limitations of Liability” you can write a sentence saying you are not responsible for “gross negligence” on your own part, but you can write a sentence saying you are not responsible for “murder” if you like. That sentence doesn’t change whether you are responsible for it or not.
Well he did die from a lung disease. Though it is usually caused by noxious substances (like he would have been exposed to in WWII), smoking doesn’t help
Jason is great! He has a great name! (we share first names) He’s done lots of great things and loves vintage Volkswagens, which illustrates how passionate and empathetic a human being he really is. He doesn’t like Nazis and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t like dieselgate either, which demonstrates how much he wants to make the world a better place. Thanks Jason for all you’ve done!
Must be Kankakee. Or as the locals call it, ‘K3’.
Wow. How did you ever learn about such vileness? I know it is important to know your enemy, but I don’t think I could get past the initial hatred.
Fuck them. @jlw, I’m sorry you have to deal with all of this. I hope it doesn’t stop you from writing what you want to write.
We’re taught the warning signs in school. And, no, I’m not joking. I remember watching a PSA-style educational film in 4th grade about the different kinds of antisemites, how they act, and how to stay safe.
