Let's play the World's tiniest Violin for a poor Hungarian Racist...
Back in the days when dinosaurs still roamed the earth and I was a seventeen year old apprentice, I had the misfortune of learning the trade at the same company as a bloke who shall be referred to here as Andy the Schmock. I don't remember how we came to discuss my jewish heritage (two of my great-grandfathers), but I'll never forget his shocked expression and then the exclamation "what - you mean you have jewish blood?!", which sure turned a few heads in the cafeteria. I rolled my eyes and ignored Andy the Schmock for the next two years.
Now, you don't need to have some jewish anchestry to hope that 16t weights will fall down on the heads of racists all over the planet. It's a feeling all decent people share, I guess, and I'm probably not the only one to follow the situation in Hungray with increasing worry. Worrying for one because I hoped I'd never live to see the possible birth of a new fascist state in Europe, and for the other because the EU doesn't really seem to care who they throw money at. Ruthless bankers or fanatic racists and homophobes, it's all the same to Brussels.
Anyway. Let me introduce you to Mr. Csanad Szegedi. He's hungarian, a big wig in the Jobbik party and a schmock. Jobbik calls itself "a principled, conservative and radically patriotic Christian party", but we'll stick to "fascists" here because it's easier to memorise.
It would only be natural to assume an individual like Szegedi wasn't born but spawned on the damp floor of a school locker room. Alas, he does have a mother, and as a natural consequence, he also has a grandmother, news that was rather shocking for his followers. Because the grandmother in question is jewish, a survivor of Auschwitz and is still alive. In short: Szegedi hat a yiddishe momme.
Of course Jobbik were quick to declare that this was just proof how tolerant and very much not racist, antisemitic and hateful they were, and anyway, this was all just some nefarious leftypinkoliberalhippiejewish conspiracy to ruin the reputation of Csanad Szegedi.
Credit to whoever made this gif, it's a thing of beauty!
I'll tell you something, Csanad, my bodkin-bearded non-friend: leftypinkoliberalhippiejewish conspiracists are not needed to ruin your reputation. You've perfectly managed to do that yourself. All the world can see you're a rectum majestalis, and trust me, that's not due to your heritage.
I feel very sorry for his grandmother, though. After all she has gone through, it must be horrible for her to have such a putz in her family. How can you become a fascist with that kind of family history? I don't get it...
