7 Holiday Gifts For The Neo-Nazi In Your Life
ET Online

It’s the season of giving, and nothing emulates the Christmas spirit more than exchanging gifts with people who would never allow Mary and Joseph into Bethlehem. That’s right, have you picked out the perfect holiday present for the Neo-Nazi in your life? (Well, I suppose I shouldn't say 'holiday', it's not like they're big Hanukkah or Kwanza fans...). It’s already been a pretty great year for them, so it’s important to get them something that truly reflects the year Neo-Nazis stepped out of the shadows and resumed overtly instigating hatred and terror.

1. Tattoo Voucher

If you really want to go the extra mile, include some cover-up makeup. Lots of people sympathize with the modern incarnation of Hitler’s regime but are too afraid that they’ll face discrimination if they voice their opinions. Save them from that burden by allowing them to cover up swastika tattoos during job interviews and such.

2. White Robe

If you’re on a budget, don’t bother buying one with a hood. Fewer and fewer people are worried about the backlash of being directly connected with the Ku Klux Klan as xenophobia becomes more socially acceptable.

3. Wooden Cross/Matches

It’s like ding-dong-ditch, but with overt racism.

4. Make America Great Again Hat

Note: This is not a random person in a Trump hat, this is the publisher of a White Supremacist website

I’m not saying that all Trump supporters are Nazis. I’m saying that longing for the ‘good old days’ of America means longing for a time where racial and ethnic minorities, women, queer people, children, poor people, and basically everyone who wasn’t rich, white, straight, old, AND male had fewer rights. That's all!

5. Aluminum Foil

Tin hats make it easier to believe and accept Fox News, and even perhaps the National Enquirer whenever they ‘report’ on Hillary or Obama.

6. College Semester including Introductory Courses in Sociology, American History, Biology, Statistics, Critical Reasoning, etc.

Recognize that hatred often stems from ignorance. Help guide and support your family and friends, and provide explanations for your beliefs. Show them that race is a social construct created by the Europeans and the biology that backs that up. Guide them through the history of America, and try to have them imagine the horror of being an American locked up in an internment camp because the country you were born in is warring with the country of your ancestors. Encourage them not to trust you or anyone else blindly, but rather to explore for themselves and learn what information is trustworthy and what isn’t. Take the burden of educating off of the marginalized groups and be a true ally to all the disadvantaged.

Heck, at least have them browse this WikiHow on how not to be racist.

7. Mein Kampf

If all else fails, at least let them learn fascist rhetoric from the best!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
