I mean as noted with the foreword saying "hey people just ignored this heinous screed and what resulted was one of the greatest atrocities in human history" it does kinda serve a purpose in saying that, if something is widely spread and accepted and influencing a large amount of people, it opens the doors for monsters. I mean as a warning I can see how it would absolutely be historically significant but really this is kinda past the point of the wrestlers on social media thread, I just dont think lance storm is a nazi for owning it, just a pseudo-intellectual

Lance Storm probably isn't a Nazi and just a dude who thinks he should read "historical and important" books because he thinks of himself as an ill intellectual and smart guy.


Now Shanna? That's a nazi.

He said in the post that he mostly reads on digital now. Implying this is a very small selection of books he owns and has read.

I think it’s cool that Lance reads airport thrillers and mass market books. I’ve read a lot of books in the past but the last decade of the internet has broken my ability to sit quietly with one form of media. I’m doing my best to get back to that as reading has a meditative quality

Reading is fun-damental

Me too, after seeing that. Gross. Sucks, because I like her as a wrestler and thought she was just wine-mom stupid and not actively bigoted, but showing support for Marine La Pen is a bridge too far.

the fact that the guy eschewed a regular message forum for his Book Marks book club for years prolly points you in which direction he stands.

I didn't jump to "nazi" so much as "idiot" but "pseudointellectual" is a very good one.

This isn't a post from a wrestler but it made me giggle with delight and I'm not sure where else to put it, so-

I don't think Lance is remotely a Nazi, but he was WAY too obtuse when people asked nicely if he would reconsider naming the "Storm Front" book something else.
