Calling someone gay is the biggest insult among young neo-nazis over here.
But we know what homophobia really reveals, don't we?
"Himmelsarsch"
"Freud explained paranoia as a defense against a desired homosexual
"attack," (.) potential benefits of interpretative control are dramatically
illustrated by the ease with which Dr. Schreber, the subject of Freud's most
celebrated analysis, transcends his paranoid anxiety and even changes a plot
of cosmic hostility into an epic of cosmic self-centering. God's desire to
use Schreber as a "wife" in order to engender a new race rewrites
catastrophe as apotheosis (.)" (99).
