No Offense, But...

[Romulus Augustulus]

Let's say that the ASBs, who have acquired a hatred for the Nazis, decide to be a little mischevious, so that on 12:01 AM EST on June 19th, 2005, all Neo-Nazis, fascists, anti-semites, and other such peole wake up to find that overnight, a seemingly incredible change has transpired: they have awoken to find themselves Jewish. What happens next?

And I don't mean offense, I'm just wondering. So if anyone is offended, then I'm sincerely sorry.

Would'nt they just go back to being what they were before? How about there transported to Israle instead.

[Mike Stearns]

I think alot would simply kill themselves.

[Leej]

How would they be Jewish?
Jewish is a religion so that would require a mind change so...It wouldn't be them.
Or do they suddenly grow fat, curly black hair, get a good job in a bank and other steryotypical Jewish things?
Circumsision does happen to non-Jews sometimes. Likewise there are lots of other peoples that look Jewish.

So- they throw out all the Jewish crap in the house, redecorate, and at their meetings rant about how the Jews did this to them. To everyone else they claim to be of Greek decent.

There are plenty of cultural things that could be inflicted upon them: a tendency to speak the occasional word of Yiddish, an aversion to pork and shellfish, even implanting within them a reasonable knowledge of Hebrew, Torah, and Jewish history. The more they find themselves behaving in manners they'd consider Jewish, the more of them will go insane and/or kill themselves.

I find this really tasteless. Because of this my reply is intended to be offensive.

1) They campaign to have 'real Jews' segregated from 'non-Jews being punished as Jews' perhaps they just have to wear a yellow star, perhaps they want them in camps.
2) They really start to hate niggers (intentional use of racist epithet).
3) They stop worshiping God and being to worship ASBs as they are obviously more powerful.
4) Pork becomes a sacrament to them.

Is this what you wanted? Have I gone far enough or do you want ... no thats it enough! Please stop this thread.

The ASB's give them the nasty social disease, empathy. When Neo-Nazis beat on one of the types of people they don't like, the Neo-Nazis feel the pain.

No...I just hate fascists for what they believe in: an essentially worthless, parasitic, psychopathic creed, targetted against a group which hasn't really done anything wrong, and I've decided to use irony against them. This is an exercise in becoming the object of your hatred and being exposed for your extreme hypocrisy.

Besides, why is this more offensive than a quarter of the world's population disappearing after their country mysteriously vanishes into the ocean overnight?

You're assuming that all Fascists are Nazis, which isn't the case. It's actually pretty dangerous to make the assumption that all Fascists must be racist (at least on the same level as Nazis/Neo-nazis), because Fascism doesn't necessarily advocate camps for racial "undesirables" or similar treatment-- which makes spotting it much harder. Mussolini certainly didn't care that much about harassing the Jews, until the very late 1930's (and mainly to appease his ally Hitler).

In truth, Fascism is really just authoritarian-corporatism and ultra-nationalism combined. It was for this reason Fascism that attracted the moneyed interests, praise of various right-wing leaders, and anyone who didn't trust the Communist or Classical Liberals back in the 30's. It's true that most openly Fascist people are neo-Nazis. But if true Fascism re-emerged (and some say it is coming back), it would probably come in a power suit (along with a bible and flag, if it was American) instead of a brown shirt. In short, the one color Fascism would really care about -- enough to oppress them about -- would be green.

Because they're commies, and we don't like them. :rolleyes:

Nothing about this seems particularly offensive to me.
