The Generic (not GOP) Nazi Thread -- while it's always them, it's not always Them

First up: busy little Nazis.

After parents in a rural and staunchly conservative Wyoming county joined nationwide pressure on librarians to pull books they considered harmful to youngsters, the local library board obliged with new policies making such books a higher priority for removal — and keeping out of collections.

But that’s not all the library board has done.

Campbell County also withdrew from the American Library Association, in what’s become a movement against the professional organization that has fought against book bans.

This summer, the state libraries in Montana, Missouri and Texas and the local library in Midland, Texas, announced they’re leaving the ALA, with possibly more to come. Right-wing lawmakers in at least nine other states — Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota and Wyoming — demand similar action.
 
Welp.

The Freedom Party (FPO), founded by former Nazis, is well ahead of the ruling conservatives in polls ahead of Sunday’s election (in Austria -- ed.). It obtains 27%, just ahead of the OVP (25%).

During the campaign, FPO leader Herbert Kickl often used terms reminiscent of the party’s origins, in particular calling himself the future. “Volkskanzler” (“People’s Chancellor”), as he referred to Adolf Hitler in the 1930s.

On Friday, several members of the far-right party, including two parliamentarians, attended the funeral of a former elected FPO official, Walter Sucher, during which a Nazi song was sung, it was reported. The newspaper published a video it received to accompany its article. It shows people attending a burial in a cemetery, standing around a grave and singing lyrics that evoke “the holy German Reich”.

"Heritage, not hate."
