This is What Happens When You Have Young Friends Filled With Sass

August 13, 2017 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

I have a young friend who sent me a picture of a Swedish woman in 1985 hitting a neo-Nazi with her purse.

The subject line of the email?  Susan, is this you?

 

 

No, but that can be arranged.

Thanks to Brenda for the heads up.

Be social and share!

  1. Step up closer and give it a good swing. And there’s at least one brick in there, right?

    Best anti-neo-Nazi protest was the one where people pledged money to an anti-racism group for every mile the Nazis marched. They couldn’t understand why people with anti-Nazi signs were cheering them on.

    We have a similar practice in one of our discussion groups on Ravelry.
    When we’re being trolled by someone who’s being particularly obnoxious, some of our members will thank them, and donate to a progressive cause in their honor. Shuts it down right quick.

    I’d like to think the lady in the picture is that guy’s mom.
    Probably not, though, or he would have turned out better.

  4. Young, present day neo-nazis always seem to forget that a low I.Q. would disqualify them from original membership in the master race. There’s a lot more than skin color and religion required.

    Getting hit on the head with a purse, brick or no brick because it’s the wind up and swing that really counts, certainly doesn’t get them any closer.

  5. Wow! But have you noticed that women these days don’t carry handbags like that? Swinging a tote style handbag already overloaded with your life is darned hard to do. Now loading it up with bricks and dropping it on someone’s foot would work very well!

  6. This line from Doctor Who always makes me smile. RiverSong is a time traveller with a set of big brass ovaries, and she’s twitting some actual Nazis in a delightful way:

    And here’s the Liberal Redneck’s angry take on the losers waving Confederate flags in Charlottesville (Mama, don’t listen):

    The Liberal Redneck (Trae Crowder) has many short video commentaries and is a breath of fresh air. He’s from Tennessee and sounds like it, but he’s a liberal atheist and isn’t afraid to say so. He knows what’s wrong with rednecks, the South, and the right wing but he can defend the South from prejudice too:

    Just be aware that his language is often not Mama-approved.

  7. Well, I don’t post here very much since so many of you express yourselves better in most regards. Still lurk, and Rhea, the gem of the Redneck Liberal is a gift I thank you for, subscribed.

    Looks a bit like an old “Laugh In” skit with Ruth Buzzi or Lily Tomlinson…oh..wait…

    And the Scandinavians ought to well know about Nazis, although Sweden was a Neutral power during WWII; Norway, Denmark, Finland, etc., were under the jackbooted losers from early on though.

  9. So, Juanita, if you can arrange it, please do so. And please do so as often as you can.
