Local activist and Antifa member Declyn Cruikshank marked the 76th anniversary of the D-Day invasion by educating a D-Day veteran on how to fight against fascism.
Elmer Dobbins, 94, who lied about his age at 17 in order to join the Navy, was sitting near a World War 2 memorial Saturday, reminiscing about the day he stormed the beaches at Normandy and lost dozens of friends. According to sources, Cruikshank approached and launched into a diatribe about the evil fascist American capitalist system.
Dobbins, who risked his life in 1944 to stop the spread of a totalitarian regime bent on destroying freedom and democracy, listened intently as Cruikshank instructed him on the finer points of fighting the fascist rule of free enterprise. He explained his goal of liberating Americans from the tyranny of democratic elections and private property ownership.
When Captain Dobbins asked how he hoped to triumph in such a great crusade, Declyn replied that he and his friends dress up in uniforms, march into a city to destroy shops and businesses, and intimidate others into shutting up and accepting their superior point of view.
“You’d better get on home, old man,” the anti-fascist warrior said, holding a brick. “It’s going to be a Night of Broken Glass, or as we like to say, a Kristallnacht. Down with Fascism!”
The Babylon Bee had me going for a second with this one!
Thank you for not putting the sarc tag in the title!!!!
That scene would probably be cut in today’s movies in deference to the BLM movement.
Yeah... Sometimes Babylon Bee can be a bit too heavy-handed to the point, where it makes an article a lot LESS funny than it could be. When you approach the line of Swiftian Satire, you can’t just tiptoe around it. You have to be bold enough to jump all the way over, otherwise all you have is cringe that ultimately serves very little practical purpose, other than to turn off your readers...
/jmo and all of that.
Babylon Bee IS THE PAPER OF RECORD!!!
Ditto.
