To think actually my friends 'ex' is right?

[Motherofhowmany]

Keeping this deliberately vague. My friends boyfriend has just dumped her after a year together. It was long distance as she is from another country in Europe and lives there whilst he is in the uk. He's black and has come from a country where there was lots of war and devastation.

He found out recently that my friends father is a big supporter of a far party (a very well known ideology) and member of the militant section. Her parents home is decorated with paraphernalia from this party. I'm not talking about your run on the mill ukip, I'm saying openly preeching about the destruction of other races. My friend does not agree with her fathers views (according to her) however she never challenged them. Her ex struggled with the fact she wouldn't openly condemn her parents and broke up with her. My friend thinks he's being ridiculous and that political ideology shouldn't get in the way of personal relationships.

AIBU to think if I was my friends ex I would do the same? She's acting like he's being a big baby.

There is a large and very strange collectors market for Nazi stuff. I gather that not everyone involved is fash, but to me it seems strangely and problematically disengaged with the history to want to have such terrible things in a house.

There are also all kinds of badged merchandise for modern fascist groups that you can buy on their sad little websites. I think owning this must be some kind of compensation for deep male inadequacy.

I struggle to believe that these people have nazi paraphernalia lying around.

That's very naïve, I'm afraid. It's not uncommon for neo-Nazis to be completely open about this sort of thing and have posters, books and memorabilia in their houses. If they are active, miltitant neo-Nazis they will, at the very least, have loads of books and leaflets and so on around the house.

Where I was born there was a neo Nazi bookshop. He sold revisionists books and held meetings where the top white supremacists of Europe were welcome. The local gov managed to close it twice and twice the owner got the legal right to reopen. The neighbours got together with the council and renamed the street "Anne Frank". They then paved the ground with all the different religious symbols in the world. Finally the bookshop was closed by police last year "for allegedly producing, re-producing, distributing and selling material that promotes hatred and discrimination."

They do not hide, derxa

Man agreed. Mind you my Mum had to stop being friends with her best friend as her family, - especially her brother - were Irish terrorists and my father was in a family of the opposite religion A- so very dangerous.

I just don't think she should be surprised that he's taken that stance. They were never going to work, where they?

'The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing'.

I don't deny the power of the sentiment but I don't have any admiration for the man who said it.

Burke (born and raised an Irish Catholic) converted to being an Anglican and was quite happy to allow his fellow countrymen and Catholics be denied an education in the higher learning colleges he was allowed access to after his conversion.
