White nationalist horrified to learn he had a Jewish great-grandfather, tries to keep his racist friends in the worst way possible

They're not sending their smartest.

Nazis are famously terrible company: they have poor social skills and a generally hateful and negative attitude towards the wider world. So it shouldn’t be surprising that they tend to only befriend other Nazis. After all, they’re the only people who can tolerate them.

Such low standards mean that these weird little hate-cliques can tolerate a lot: violent outbursts, untreated mental health conditions, poor personal hygiene, and so on. But there’s one thing that a Nazi might not forgive: Jewish ancestry.

And so it was to his obvious horror that British white nationalist Robin Pickett realized that his worst nightmare had come true: his great-grandfather was… *gasp* Jewish!

In what has to be the roughest chuckle we’ve had for some time, Pickett pleads with his Nazis buddies that, actually, Hitler would probably have been totally cool with him, so they should be too:

“Please remember that Hitler himself would not have rejected me as a Jew under the Nuremburg rules. Under the Nazi regime I would have had full German rights and citizenship. So if you hold this view of me, maybe, just maybe, it is you who is unreasonable.”

But wait, it gets funnier. Apparently, one of Pickett’s Nazi buddies was so suspicious that their friend may secretly be harboring Jewish tendencies, they requested a picture that would prove he wasn’t circumcised.

Der Führer would have understood!

Doubtless steeling himself and reminding himself that this is for the good of the Reich, Pickett duly pulled down his pants, got out his phone, and had a private sexy photoshoot. He promptly sent the requested picture, which was then apparently immediately made public.

In a now-deleted post, he grovels for further forgiveness:

“I am sorry to all who are offended by me in this moment. I f–ked up. I was asked to prove I was uncut with a photo and in a moment of naive stupidity and half drunkenness, panicked by the situation I had found myself in I sent a d–k pic.”

In a rare moment of clarity, Pickett seems to have realized he’s making other racists look bad with his buffoonery, offering to simply go away:

“I will do as the movement wishes at this point, should people wish for me to bow out for the protection of the movement. I will.”

As you might imagine, everyone but Pickett is finding the situation hilarious:

Is there a moral or lesson to this story? Well, perhaps most obviously, only a moron would care that anyone’s great-grandfather was Jewish (or that anyone is Jewish full stop!). But even most white nationalists would probably get over a Jewish great-grandfather sooner or later. But humiliating yourself and making the entire “movement” look ridiculous? Now that’s worthy of being shunned.

Perhaps this might lead to some self-reflection from Pickett that he’s walking down a very lonely and depressing road. But we somehow doubt it.
