At least the Nazis had the courage to show their faces.
I'm not going to say you're wrong, but I'm conflicted by your comment. Was it really courage? I counter that they truly thought that they were right and had no reason to cover their faces. The Geneva conventions, nor the Internet, were things at the time. There wasn't any meaningful, if any, backlash to being a racist at the time. There was no risk to facists having your face uncovered back then, but there definitely is now.
Honestly not sure which is worse. To think you're right and do evil, or to know you're in the wrong and do it anyway...
These cowards have the advantage of knowing the history of the Nazis though. And they continue to carry out their mission. Even worse, by concealing their identities they do seem to hope that they can keep showing up to brunch and dance recitals to hobnob with the same people that they will be choking out and shooting in the face later in the evening.
While the original phrasing might come off a little strange, I think that there is something to be said about the meaning.
