My grandma's older brother Joseph died at the Battle of the Bulge, gut-shot while fighting nazis. My great grandma rode in the parade every year as a Gold Star mother;wrecked her. Never stopped grieving him. To see that piece of shit give a nazi salute-- it's beyond rage, into a cold place.

I saw, once again, people using Tolkien quotes to justify white supremacy, so here's the obligatory reminder that in 1941 he called Hitler a "ruddy little ignoramus" for "ruining, perverting, misapplying, and making for ever accursed" the cultures he based his works on.

An image of text: I have spent most of my life, since I was your age, studying Germanic matters (in the general sense that includes England and Scandinavia). There is a great deal more force (and truth) than ignorant people imagine in the 'Germanic' ideal. I was much attracted by it as an undergraduate (when Hitler was, I suppose, dabbling in paint, and had not heard of it), in reaction against the
'Classics'. You have to understand the good in things, to detect the real evil. But no one ever calls on me to 'broadcast', or do a postscript! Yet I suppose I know better than most what is the truth about this 'Nordic' nonsense. Anyway, I have in this War a burning private grudge - which would probably make me a better soldier at 49 than I was at 22: against that ruddy little ignoramus Adolf Hitler (for the odd thing about demonic inspiration and impetus is that it in no way enhances the purely intellectual stature: it chiefly affects the mere will). Ruining, perverting, misapplying, and making for ever accursed, that noble northern spirit, a supreme contribution to Europe, which I have ever loved, and tried to present in its true light. Nowhere, incidentally, was it nobler than in England, nor more early sanctified and Christianized…

A comic about the future. Bex is planting seeds in the ground. The sky is dark and the ground seems barren. The text reads, "I keep trying to prepare for the future. I want to make positive changes." A few tiny plants manage to grow. The camera pulls out to reveal that everything around Bex is on fire. She waters the plants. "But what does the future even look like now? Everything feels so devastatingly uncertain... and any attempt to plan feels futile."
