Holy Crap, It’s Still Going On
Above: What’s that odd stompy noise down in the cellar?
From a quantum computing blog, of all places:
The ugliest flame war of all time
Yes, after searching the web for 12 years, I’ve finally found it. This one, about two adorable twin girls who formed a white supremacist rock band called “Prussian Blue� (having been indoctrinated into Hitlerism by their mother), has 337 posts and has been going on for two years. It has racist and anti-Semitic bile that will outrage even the most seasoned connoisseurs of the genre — and people who attempt to reason with those spewing it. It has side-skirmishes about pedophilia and the troubles in Northern Ireland. Forget about Godwin’s Law. If you’re under the illusion that World War II ended sixty years ago, read this thread.
Um, we’ve been happily perking along since 2005 with no idea there’s been a frickin’ slow-mo Nazi brawl downstairs the whole time.
Like, WTF?!
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that I’m firmly anti-Nazi. Sometimes you just have to be willing to take a risk for what you believe.
I do like the picture, however.
WTF?? If you copywrite an article about Nazis, they will come.
Nazis and pie? It’s already a party up in here.
Quick, somebody call somebody else a fat, fair-trading cunt!
Prussian Blue must be legal by now, right? I bet the German “Kaviar” industry is beating down their door…
And this, children, is why you always set WordPress to disable comments on articles over 60 days old. Otherwise you never know where you’re going to find a Nazi infestation.
All the Nazis have to do now is show the world this site and they will recruit half of middle America.
Piny and Zuzu were right after all!
I also liked the guy who whined about the “moderator” not letting him spam links to stormfront.
It has racist and anti-Semitic bile that will outrage even the most seasoned connoisseurs of the genre
Egad, dear, this anti-semitism has just the most dreadful bouquet. Would you freshen things up with a skosh of Stromfront with a whiff of Minutemen as a garnish? Cheers, lads..
Now you’re making fun of people who happen to look or sound like Nazis?
What’s with the lookism and soundism, Sadly No?
Can’t you talk about the issues?
Oh. Never mind.
Thats pretty farout man. Y’all need an award for hosting the Internet’s Longest Flamewar. I knew you guys were award winning caliber….for something. I guess we found out for what!
So, uh, why not close the post now, or delete it and just forget the whole thing ever happened?
And then take a long shower?
Is that Marie Jon’ thread still going on?
Of course it is.
the sadlyno basement has been infested with vermin and rotting corpses for two years and you never smelled it because you’ve been burning those aromatherapy candles.
I wonder what the hell else in nesting down there.
What’s sad is how many of the sane people in that thread I don’t see posting anymore. You even had a post by Amanda on there (does that mean she endorses Sadly, No!? Nobody tell Feministe). [Ed Note: Sorry – not trying to stir up any more shit].
A couple of the signature links from the nutbars there led to some very disturbing sites. I hope that the NSA isn’t going to be monitoring me now. If they do, I’m pointing them directly to HTML’s bud stash, and damn the consequences I’m not taking the fall for you lot!
You can have my Prussian Blue CD when you pry it from um…the underside of my car tires.
Hey Gavin, don’t know how to bring this up delicately but, that image you have chosen to use to mock Nazi’s is Sexist.
Really. I can’t believe you had no problems posting a pick of half-naked nazi tarts with fully clothed Nazi Goons.
You Cad. Should the men not at least be topless?
Perhaps you should fix it?
Buff Abs for all the boys! I think its the only way to show you care.
😉
I wonder what the hell else in nesting down there.
I would insert an infested-crotch joke here, but that would just attract more unwanted attention… from the arborists.
Heck, I’m just grateful that my habit of adding comments 2 or 3 days after the thread has been topped isn’t as pointless (or, hopefully, as annoying) as the after-the-fact additions from some of these basement-dwellers. And, remember, these are the ones smart enough to work the intertoobz, even if not quite smart enough to use the spellchecker.
Y’all need an award for hosting the Internet’s Longest Flamewar.
No way, I’ll bet there are some usenet flame wars that have raged since the 80s, on important matters such as Star Wars v. Star Trek or Happy Days fanfiction
It must feel weird to know that a tiny, forgotten corner of your own site has become some kind of creepy nazi shrine. It’s result #27 when you Google Prussian Blue, heh
And, remember, these are the ones smart enough to work the intertoobz, even if not quite smart enough to use the spellchecker.
They’re not even smart enough to use the damn enter key. That thread is much longer than it seems, since almost every comment is a wall of text.
Has anybody told “JackGoff” about this yet ?
I think what makes me the saddest is that no one has yet noticed that “snag” kinda ripped off sarah silverman in jesus is magic without attribution.
I’d call it a victimless crime, but, well, we’ve all been taught better lately, ain’t we.
Plus, she has a vagina.
Springtime for Hitler in SadlyNermany. Well, it is March, after all.
That’s the worst flame war of all time? A two year old thread that has less then a post a day on average?
The remake was good, but for my money, it’s the original film all the way.
“Yea, see, zis here isz an exhemple of goot think-ink, ya. I hev said this isz ze queek fuze, unt it ISZ ze queek fuze…”

?
Does anyone know why we’re being flooded with neo-Nazis today? They’re all coming here. Naturally, I invited them up for a tea party. If any white supremacists come stormtrooping through, just don’t hurt ‘em too bad, ok? It’s really hard…

Hey Nazi assholes, you genetically inferior pieces of subhuman filth! C’mon to the main page where we can make fun of you some more!

If you leftwing
liberal kikes and niggers
want to call me racist, go
ahead I will wear that
badge proudly.
How about if we call you Princess Poptart?
Wow.
I wish a ray could be invented that would shrink nazis to gerbil size so they could be kept in Habitrails as pets.
Those guys are so much fun.
Many people have used my kind as a gateway, a funnel if you will to National Socialist thought…It was a big movement back in the ’40’s of course, but as one gets older the movements do get smaller.
Much cheek-squeezing, hot air, and blatting trumpets…Yet at the end, barely worth a paper’s notice.
Holy sacred bleeding heart of Jaysus! What the buggeryfuck are those guys on? They must be on some kinda amphetamine or something, to be able to post those War N Peace screeds: ‘wall of text’ indeed. Much like the Phil Spector ‘wall of sound’, only much less fun.
Jesus buggering christ, those people are weird with a double eird. I did kind of chuckle at the guy who spoke about the ‘untied negro collage fund’, though. Had this image of Cleavon Little having just escaped from the in-the-bone dumb townsfolk, shrugging off the ropes, and accepting with aplomb the offer to make a little collage (with perhaps a sophisticated 30s song).
So, you Sadly, No! blokes, you’ve been hiding these wackos in your very own basement all this time, eh? Not their momma’s basement, your basement. Tch tch tch.
I’m always in awe of the way these guys try to ‘racially superior, truly-ruly’ argument, too. It’s so touching that they do all of their explanations about genes and inheritance and branching genetic trees and stuff. It’s so sweet, almost like an armadillo in a tutu. It’s just a shame to see their tiny faces fall when in return for their “We is better than Asians because they’s got weak eyes and stuff, and we is big and tough”, they get that Asians statistically do far better academically, while Kenyans, for example, are really Teh Hawt at running really fast. Their little mouths get all twisted, and they stammer out their “if one race car has a better engine” routine, but their widdle hearts aren’t in it.
Please excuse the disjointedness. I’ve just woken up from a nap which was ruined, just ruined, by my sister. Being a Burmese, she is, of course, admittedly extremely cuddle-worthy and all, but she snores like a building coming down. Grnkkkfkfkffffkk mpppppffffff grrrrrnnnnkkkggggkkkk mpppppffffffff gggrrrnnkknnkk grnk snrglfpt mmmmpppfffff.
And if there’s one thing that we cats consider sacred, it is The Nap. I’m so discombobulated, I really am.
Oh, Rick from Duluth is just a gem. So’s the wee satanist girl who thinks she’s cool.
I wonder if she really meant ‘santa-ist’? I mean, yes, the pentacle, yes, the candles, but wotthehell is with the fake beard and red suit?
To quote the graffiti popular here in Germany, “Nazis Raus!”
Yeah Amanda endorses S/N, she did a post saying she was in awe of the place, which made me think she perceives it accurately. Awe is the right way to feel about this site and its people. I didn’t sleep last night seeing its name dragged through the mud. But you never want to explain Sadly No! to the uninitiated, that would ruin the experience, people need to stick around and let it happen to them and I hope they do. Christ, I’m so old I remember when it was cool to be enlightened.
Golly goshkins, people, I want a medal. And a bath. And a mouthwash. And I think I’ll shave off all my fur as well.
Jesus wept, I just read THAT ENTIRE FUCKING COMMENTS THREAD. Ahem. Sorry. Wow. I mean, wow. Just wow. The Irish Nationalism thing came out of the blue, but the thread just kept degenerating, in logic, spelling, grammar, and social skills. It got quite surreal towards the end, I mean these guys must have access to some major hallucinogens, I mean quality pharmaceuticals, people. Really. Some of that dreck could only have been written by someone frying their five remaining brain cells with industrial chemicals laced with Drano. Or by a spastic jellyfish flailing about aimlessly.
Whew. I’m gonna go scrub my eyeballs with steel wool.
I want to see the referring page!
I wonder if they’re using teh Google, digamma.
So that is where the Real IRA and the Ulster Freedom Fighters have been for the last two years – shooting it out on a Sadly No! comment page. All you need to do now is persuade the Sunni insurgents and Shiite militias that they should be ethnically cleasing a Sadly No! comment page, and Brad, Gavin, etc. would be in line for a Nobel Peace Prize.The only thing they would have to look out for is the odd Al-Qaeda in Iraq truck flame with DDOS attached and the occasional Explosively Formed Post.
Yeah Amanda endorses S/N, she did a post saying she was in awe of the place, which made me think she perceives it accurately. Awe is the right way to feel about this site and its people.
A couple weeks ago I was asked by some older colleagues who don’t read blogs what my favorite political blog was (“So, IB, you read teh blogs! What are the good ones?”). The first answer that came to mind was S,N! Keep up the good work and ignore the sensitivity auto-da-fés (don’t ignore sensitivity concerns, just avoid the endless purity fests here and elsewhere) and the Nazis in your basement.
I wonder what the hell else is nesting down there.
Yeah, it’s like Sadly, No! is som weird B-movie, and the first little crawly has ust come up from below, and now some idjit with a flashlight is going ot go down there- alone- and not come back.
It’s like some intertoobz version of Mimic or Aliens, or maybe C.H.U.D.
But I’ll bet you that whatever else is down there, they’ve eaten the Preaview Button.
But why did that Scott Aaronson guy post a link to Sadly, No? Couldn’t he find a neo-nazi site that actually talks about Prussian blue? I’m sure there are tons of those. Sadly, No is a liberal snark site. “…after searching the web for 12 years, I’ve finally found it.” He’s been searching the web for 12 years and he’s never found an ugly flame war about neo-nazis?
So they’ve perfected human cloning after all.
Amusing, isn’t it, that in a couple of days, Sadly, No! can inspire over a thousand comments on two different blogs about a crappy photoshop of a fat dude, while the American Nazi movement takes two years to hit 350?
Yes, you have to give them points for tenacity, but really. That’s just weak.
Amusing, isn’t it, that in a couple of days, Sadly, No! can inspire over a thousand comments on two different blogs about a crappy photoshop of a fat dude…
Please, billy pilgrim, I think even those roasting S,N! at the stake would have to admit that it was, like most photoshopping on this blog, an excellent photoshop of a fat dude.
I wonder what the hell else in nesting down there.
The Matt Fury thread and piercing thread get the odd post every now and then. The RSS feed is a wonderful way to keep up with what’s scurrying around under the radar.
I don’t think that’s a much of a flame war as it is neo-Nazis and other racists randomly finding that page while looking for Prussian Blue porn and posting some rant without looking to see how old that post is, because they have to go wank off before they explode. I hate paleo-trolls.
Neo-nazis and the Real IRA and the Ulster Freedom Fighters…whatever, fuck ’em, they’re all fat.
You know, if you could just trap them all in the thread in the basement, maybe that would keep them from mischief elsewhere.
Santa-ists? The possiblitites are….intriguing.
Where are the Iron Guard of the White Sons of the American Constitution when you need them?
Whoah! Ann Coulter has twins
And I think I’ll shave off all my fur as well.
And if Ganesh Bengal Cat turns up now, dangerously agitated with mental images of shaven Abyssinian babes, or if this thread is spammed with links to Sphynx-cat p0rn sites, we’ll know exactly whom to blame.
I too did the foolish thing and read that entire thread… I don’t have any alcohol in the house. Oh, well, I need to go to the store for bread and milk and juice, so I’ll just pick up something with a high alcohol content, pick up “Failed States” where I left off, and just kind of ease away from the innerT00bz for the rest of the day. Reading and drinking, that’s the ticket…
Candy – I couldn’t agree more about the alcohol, I just had to crack a bottle of Perrin & Fils Cairanne Peyre Blanche 2004 (and then it took me ten minutes to type this post and correct the mishtakes).
It got quite surreal towards the end, I mean these guys must have access to some major hallucinogens, I mean quality pharmaceuticals, people.
They’re manufacturing their own hallucinogens, and it becomes a problem for the rest of us because without insurance coverage they can’t afford the quality pharmaceuticals.
Guys, I’m going down to the SN basement to look for a fusebox. No I don’t need any one to come with me. No I don’t need anything for self-defense. I am sure those weird noises are just the wind. I’ll be right back!!1
Th’ DOUCHE youse say!!1!eleventy-one-and-a-half!!! That would shut down the glorious, ineffable Long Thread®™ fo’ evah!!1! Oh, NOES!1!! It. Is. Too. Terrible. To. Contemplate!!
Don’t *DO* it, guys! Don’t *DO* it!!!!!1!!!1!
Oh, okay, Kathleen. Hey, you’re wearing that cardigan, it’ll get caught in the, like, wires and things. Why don’t you take it off to reveal your heaving bosoms scantily covered by a tight t-shirt?
They’re manufacturing their own hallucinogens, and it becomes a problem for the rest of us because without insurance coverage they can’t afford the quality pharmaceuticals.
Oh, I see. That sort of thing. Well, at least they’re safely confined in the basement, instead of roaming the streets frightening the children.
Y’know, I’m thinking I should go work for THEM.
Umm, whole hallucinogens thing…
Y’know?
Never mind….
mikey
The “master race,” scurrying about in the cellar, like mice….
Um, I really hate to say this but in all honestly, I’m not surprised. As a liberal, I find it rather intersting that so many other fellow liberals can act so “surprised” whenever some white supremacist or neo nazi shows their head. White Supremeacy, did you forget about The Bell Curve that horribly white supremacy, “scientific” racism book that came out last decade… and the writers now work for conservative think tanks? Obama has been in the race how long and already there have been smears against him with a racist appeal?
Or historically, yeah, the Catholic church dragged their feet about that whole Haulocaust stuff… oh and they blessed Hitler every step of the way… but then there were protestant megachurches in America running around talking about how cool Hitler was and how evil the jews were.
Forget the neo nazis… a better idea would be if the liberals didn’t act like this was some new thing that suddenly burst onto the scene… and mainstream conservatives said that they don’t want anything to do with this crap. It’s lunacy that the mainstream conservative will denouce the stuff but then shut up about how some white supremacist works for a think tank they referance… and it’s lunacy that liberals act all clueless. I alwasy thougth liberals were concerned over racial equality and what not… so why the hell do they act like they never knew antisemitism existed in America for the past 30 years?
Dustin, I think it is just that we don’t tend to hang out with folk like that, and when we meet them, it is a strange experience. I know evil is always there but frankly I try to avoid it when possible, y’know?
Or historically, yeah, the Catholic church dragged their feet about that whole Haulocaust stuff… oh and they blessed Hitler every step of the way… but then there were protestant megachurches in America running around talking about how cool Hitler was and how evil the jews were.
And apropos of the Catholic church, remember their denial of the validity of liberation theology? Any church that refuses to support poor-supporting, victim-defending, tyrant-defying clergy is the church for me!
Signed, Whitey MacBetterThanYou, Buddy
Fucking hell the basement is full of nazis mom!
I hate internets Nazis.
Wow. I’d forgotten about Prussian Blue, and it was just as well I did.
At the time all that started, I was wondering what you’d call a white supremacist version of Mary-Kate and Ashley.
“Aryan-Hate and Fascisty” was the best I could do. Any other suggestions?
Congratulations, S, N! Your very own flypaper strategy!
We’re ignoring their spamming down there so we don’t have to ignore their spamming up here!
There’s a brawl in the basement. American Nazis duking it out and who should appear? Mick and Billy Mason! They just come busting through the place like a green and orange whirlwind knocking over the fruit punch bursting through the makeout room, overturning the stereo and generally wrapped up in their own tiny fight that is geographically limited from one end of a Belfast housing estate to the other. CLASSIC–Just classic. I love the Irish and the Ulstermen. That’s a true love hate thing they have. Long way it continue. At least verbally.
All I can ever picture is the Blues Brothers Nazi’s. That thread only reinforces that.
Anne Laurie said above,
“… from the arborists”.
bwah hahahahha haha. nice.
Prussian Blue? I had been led to believe that the Nazis were from Bayern und Oesterreich. What did the Preussen have to do with the Nazis, other than give them money?
/sarcasm
I believe it’s a reference to a chemical from the gassing chambers. Oh, Wait, we have Google, don’t we?
“The duo have said that they think Prussian blue is “just a really pretty color,” however, in an interview with Vice Magazine, they stated, “there is also the discussion of the lack of ‘Prussian Blue’ coloring in the so-called gas chambers in the concentration camps. We think it might make people question some of the inaccuracies of the Holocaust myth.””
Oo, are those sarcasm tags? Shiny!
