I read a story online
About a shitty little dive bar
The kind that was last clean
Before it was built
The kind that suburban Christians
Imagine the Devil lives
In this story there was a bartender
With a cold silence & a dagger stare
If you were a patron
You better only talk to him
When ordering a drink
You don't know if he's killed a man
But only a fool would test him
So this bartender with his bar
As dirty & beat up as himself
You'd be told he was a monster
If you saw him walking down the street
But this bartender sees a man at his bar
Covered in Nazi symbols
Immediately kicks him out
Even threatens his life if he stays
The other patrons couldn't see
But the weathered bartender has seen it all before
When a patron finally had the courage or curiosity to ask
Why he threatened someone not making trouble
He replies with an absolute Truth:
"You have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it's always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too. And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down. You have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people."
And it was in that moment
In reading how a shitty bar
Prevented itself from becoming true shit
That I learned exactly how
The Church became full of Nazis
