Imperium of Man - spacey out of this world stuff

UPDATE: That tattoo belong to "trinitysite72" and is confirmed, which looks great by the way! Carl owes him an apology plus that video need to be yanked off of Carl's YouTube channel. He knows exactly who that guy is.  

UPDATE II: My next question, where did Carl get that photo? On what web page did he get it from?

UPDATE III: Just realized something. Since this info is out and I'm pretty sure he and others knew who this guy was in the first place. If not and he's just finding out who this guy is but decides to leave those videos in, then I have no choice but to call that action as an example of a deaf person committing a "hate crime/speech" in action. Wot irony! Especially after going on a failed mini-lecture "tour" about "deaf hate crime."   
 
UPDATE IV:
YouTube removed two of his offending videos. I'd say it was because of his bullying attempt (and slandering and hate speech, if you ask me).

This video has been removed because its content violated YouTube's Terms of Service.

Good riddance. For a professor who tried the "deaf hate crime/speech" lecture circuit which ultimately failed his reprehensible act of obvious hate shows the irony and hypocrisy. Real class and professionalism there, folks.



Carl needs to revisit history (or perhaps do a bit of online investigation first) before going on a wild goose chase (videos have since been remove for violation of YT's Terms of Service) about how there is NeoNazism within the culturally deaf community, a "secretive racist movement," that is. All because over a picture of a guy wearing a hearing aid with a double headed eagle tattoo on his back justified this assumption? Did anybody even bother to read what the words said below the eagle tattoo?

First of all, if you managed to read the words below the eagle tattoo it says, "Imperium of Man." It is a group that participated in an online Space RPG (role playing game) which officially disbanded last year. They carried that exact same double headed eagle on its page. You can look it up on Google and find a whole bunch of information on "Imperium of Man" including that same graphic double headed eagle.

The Imperium of Man is the galactic empire under which the majority of humanity is united. The founder and ruler of the Imperium is the god-like Emperor, the most powerful human psychic to date. Founding the Imperium ten thousand years ago, he continues, at least nominally, to lead it.

The Imperium is the largest and most powerful political entity in the galaxy, consisting of at least a million worlds, which are dispersed across most of the Milky Way galaxy. Consequently, an Imperial planet might be separated from its closest neighbor by hundreds or thousands of light years. As a stellar empire, the size of the Imperium can not be measured in terms of continuous territory, but only in the number of planetary systems in its control.

Several aliens and forces (the forces of Chaos, Tyranids, Eldar, Dark Eldar, Orks, Tau, Necrons) challenge the supremacy of the Imperium. From within, the Imperium is threatened more insidiously by rebellion, mutation, dangerous psykers, and subversive cults.

Without the protection of the Imperium, mankind would fall prey to the countless perils that threaten it.

Nothing remotely like NeoNazism.

And if you want more double headed eagles go here. But don't let your imagination run wild about this whole "Deaf NeoNazism" stuff. Except maybe for a good laugh or two. I'm sure that guy with his hearing aid isn't a part of that group. How about making a wild run with this CC tattoo instead?

Brain to brain? More like fried.

Meh.

Maybe this video would be to Carl's liking?

Hitler was a competent extremist

Yeah, Hitler was a competent person alright. A person who was sufficiently qualified to be an extremist. That cannot be disputed. He knew how to get things done and get his way, unfortunately. What he did in the past during the rise of the Third Reich made him out to be an extremist, and that's an understatement, too. The word "extremist" as applied to Hitler really doesn't suffice.  Although there's nothing incompetent when it comes to carrying out a master race plan going to such extremes calling for the extermination of millions of innocent people. You ought to know that already.  Just as well, Hitler wasn't for diversity and was for the elimination of what he considered as the "weaker race." This includes people with hereditary deafness, mental retardation, and the infirm, elderly, mentally ill and so on. They were considered as "useless eaters" and Hitler and his cronies murdered thousands upon thousands of them, including deaf people .

Deaths of 'Useless Eaters'

In 1939, the Nazi policy towards deaf and disabled people took an even more sinister and horrific turn. Hitler decided that Germany should be rid of 'useless eaters' and that deaf and disabled children should be killed. Newborn babies with physical 'defects' were removed from their mothers and killed. Children who were judged to have mental or physical disabilities were taken to special children's wards and killed by lethal injection or starvation. The parents were often informed that their children had died of natural causes. It is estimated that nearly 2000 deaf children were killed in this way.

And Hitler called these killings as an act of "mercy death."

In 1939, Hitler instructed German doctors to exercise the power of euthanasia or “mercy death.” The term “mercy death” was deceptive, having no relationship with today’s notion of adding terminally ill patients to end their lives in dignity. Rather, Hitler wished to see disabled people killed because they were “life unworthy of life.” Doctors were expected to decide to end the lives of human beings who had no value for the fascist state, or were “eating more than they produced.” The value of a life under fascism is equal to the value that life holds to the state.

Nothing merciful about that. And nothing glorifying about this "competent extremist" as you can see here. He was simply the face of what evil looked like. Hitler was a competent extremist to the nth degree and said that deaf people were simply a bunch of "useless eaters" undeserving the liberty of life.

In closing, I'd be careful about choosing a "competent extremist" over something else even though the phrase itself can take on variety of context and meaning. But without a doubt Hitler was a competent and methodical figure with an ultimate goal in mind. He was certainly an extremist without any stretch of the imagination.

Just thought I'd let you know.

When anti-AB2072 group uses Nazi labels

A new article in The Cutting Edge came out late yesterday about California's AB-2072 bill where it laboriously use Nazi examples and labels about that bill. This bill is about allowing parents of newborns diagnosed with hearing loss be given information on communication and educational options where it does include ASL as one clear option. It's a resource that will allow parents make an informed decision after doing their research and who to contact. When people use Nazi examples or references inappropiately as an argument it's called Godwin's Law or Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies. Drenching it with words like "eugenics" and "Nazi-style" elimination won't win the argument. Especially when you throw in conspiracy theories and accusations against other organizations. It'll simply marginalize certain Deaf groups even further onto the fringe by those who opposed AB-2072 bill whenever Nazi references are used. This bill gives parents the necessary resource and power to make an informed decision and by no one else.
I think this is a good bill. It's an opportunity to capitalize ASL even further once passed.
