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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
