Today’s Fake Bumper Sticker

Saw this bumper sticker yesterday:

“This year will go down in history. For the first time a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!
— Adolf Hitler, 1935”

I researched it to verify Hitler said it.

No; he didn’t, or, if he did, it was never documented anywhere. Like other alt news or fake news (see Pizzagate and Jade Helm 15), there are a lot of words generating smoke and fear, but very little truth.

The NRA and gun proponents want you to believe that gun control helped the Nazi Party rise to power.

No; it didn’t.

The Weimar Republic proceeding the Nazi rise had stricter gun control; but the idea that if people had guns, they would have resisted is absurd, as Hitler had high popular support.

Alex Seitz-Wald at Salon had an article that provides an insightful summary.

Inspirational Quote # 679

This quote speaks to me. As I walked through today’s heat, I thought about writing, and my continuous and contentious effort to fit words together, to better understand their meanings, and how they modulate one another and harmonize to establish structures and scenes. As I’ve explored first, writers, and then writing, genres, and words, I’ve turned more to punctuation, and their impact.

Tumblecat

Tumblecat (Catfinition): Feline that drifts lazily around, laying, sitting, washing, grooming, and watching, apparently without any intention in the world except to be.

In Use: “Princess progressed like a tumblecat being blown by a cosmic wind that only she felt, drifting through poses and activities without urgency or plan.”
