I think all Nazis are out-of-touch Nazis. It's why they're Nazis to begin with. Broader culture recognizes these creeps for the creeps they are and rejects them, so they coalesce into hermetically sealed cesspools of Nazi shit.
It's funny, because on the Facebook post of this video there are lots of people saying, "What the fuck is this?" Not only are these people Nazis, but they are exceptionally weird and out of touch Nazis.
Here’s the U.S. government being officially religious in a country with no official religion.

just feeling more and more like it’s journalistic malpractice not to lead with the fact that the instructor in question is trans
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

Call me a nerd, but yesterday, a federal judge in Pennsylvania cited my reporting in a ruling against the DOJ in a case challenging Trump-era actions targeting transgender people.
A reminder that this work really does matter.

A planned Christmas Eve jazz concert at the Kennedy Center was canceled, with the host of the longtime annual performance attributing the decision to the addition of Republican U.S. President Donald Trump's name to the institution in Washington.

A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."
