...is oft-times more telling that what makes the news.
Take the current state of race/immigrant relations in Iceland.
A few days ago, Bubbi holds a concert to "rock against racism", complete with the Prime Minister of Iceland warbling through a sickly duet. The show is packed, people jamming the isles, the parking lot overflowing into the surrounding streets and sidewalks.
And the show gets a ton of good press. Mentioned in every newspaper in the land (although they left the part out about the mainly Icelandic crowd at this mainly Icelandic concert heckling the Polish woman who gave Bubbi an award), on the news and the net.
No one seems inclined to report on what many people found stuck to their windshields after the concert, usually inside the little plastic envelope their parking tickets came in. A flier calling on Icelanders to "fight back against multiculturalism" and "race mixing" being pushed by the "traitors" in power or they'd wind up with the same problems as Denmark is currently experiencing, and urging them to contact a new website. Run by none other than those Neo-Nazi-queer-bashing-hostel-burning-immigrant-beating pipe-bombing inbred Fascist fuckheads Blood and Honor & Combat 18.
I don't know what's sadder. The fact that the media hasn't reported this (especially considering their gleeful reportage both of other racist acts and of supposed infiltrations on the part of "foreign mafias" and gangs) or the fact that some sad-sack pathetic Icelandic shithead decided he hated útlendingar so much he joined an international fascist organization to do something about it. An organization with a Polish chapter, it bears pointing out.
The irony would crack me up if it weren't so damned sad
