#Nazi ideology

You made a comment on Feb 12 in regard to a goy being an ass and said the nazis were pagans. Which surprised me because I know theres a neo-pagan movement today and such but overall could you elaborate?

In order for Nazism to gain traction, Hitler, and Himmler specifically, needed a faith system in order to unite the German people. They took elements of historic Nordic and Germanic pagan belief and archaeology- Nazi archaeology relied on trying to convince the world that there was an indeed an ancient race of Aryans and that Germans were their descendents. They appropriated Nordic and Slavic sites, claiming they were in fact Germanic, and sometimes even faked discoveries.

Himmler especially wanted to impose his idea of "true Germanic paganism" onto the German people in order to distance themselves from Christianity and create more of a "unique" identity that seperated Germans from other Europeans, to unite them under a shared Volk identity. He also was obsessed with religious relics that he claimed were of German origin, or could at least give legitimacy to the Nazis by being symbols of power. One of the things he tried to popularize was the concept of Thingspiel, which he claimed was based on ancient Germanic pagan celebrations. The Nazis built amphitheatres on sites they claimed were the ancient sites of Germanic pagan gathering sites, although some sites were pure fabrications.

Most Nazi symbols are taken from Nordic runes or, in the case of a swastika, from symbols they found in archaeological sites that they believed was proof of a universal Aryan race. In reality, swastikas were just a simple symbol to draw and often depicted a star or the sun in archaeological finds. There's been swastikas found in archaelogical sites around the world. Neo-Nazis today rely on their idea of Germanic paganism, and the modern Norse pagan community is unfortunately rife with Nazis.

Cultural Appropriation in Contemporary Neopaganism and Witchcraft

[creature-wizard]

One thing I've noticed is Nazism's and neo-Nazism's tendency to appropriate cultural beliefs and equal rights movements into their hateful framework

got a religion? Nazism has a few very convenient rhetorical bits that loop your religion into it whether you like it or not fighting against racism? Nazis have a rhetorical bit to make it look like it's another minority's fault for the existence of racism (usually the Jewish people) practice herbal medicine? oop, there's a bit for that too where suddenly you use herbal remedies to ward off the evil (conveniently Jewish) doctors that wanna poison your kids with autism I mean, for fuck's sake, they even have rhetorical bits for audio engineering in the form of the 432Hz conspiracy. It's as if the ideology of Nazism has no framework save for what it appropriates from it's victims.

It's really not that simple.

Nazism is about protecting one's own ego and sense of superiority at all costs. It's about deflecting blame and scapegoating minorities instead of accepting that your beliefs and government are inherently flawed and need fixing. It's about justifying violence by playing the victim. It's about breeding a race of "ubermensch" who require minimal expenditure to keep alive and healthy in order to serve the interests of the imperialist ruling class.

It's the ideology of the lazy, vain, and self-centered.

They appropriate because they are lazy, vain, and self-centered. With their ideology, everything needs to revolve around them, to serve them, to prove them superior and right in all things. If it's not for them, then it must be against them - it must the devices of a wicked conspiracy that just hates them and want to hurt them because they're jealous of how pure and good they are.

And this is how you get the conspiracy theories.

This isn't some case of people just stealing everything because they're somehow incapable of creating their own thing. This is a case of an ideology that requires them to reply to and reexplain pretty much everything that's currently established. But that doesn't mean that's all they can do; it's just that it's what they must do. Otherwise they'd have to admit that they aren't the victims of a grand conspiracy, nor the heirs of a glorious legacy.

Also, Nazis and herbal medicine go way back. During the war, they started training (I use this term loosely) alternative healers in herbal medicine because they were reserving more effective - and more expensive - treatments for the army.

How Germany became Nazis a warning to the world: Part One

With the extreme rise in antisemitism lately, often masked as "anti-Zionism," it’s important to recognize that according to the Pew Research Center, around 80% of Jews in the United States identify as Zionists. This conflation of terms isn’t new; it echoes dangerous sentiments from history. As I’ve been reading more about World War II and the Nazis’ rise to power, I’ve become increasingly interested in understanding how the German people came to adopt a new moral and ethical code, one that made atrocities like the Holocaust seem, if not right, then inescapable if they wanted to survive. Not against the Nazis themselves, but against the forces that, as they believed, sought to destroy the great German people.

None of this was sudden. The rise of Nazism was carefully engineered in a country primed for radicalism. Germany in the 1930s was fertile ground for someone like Adolf Hitler and an ideology like Nazism. A deep-seated history of antisemitism in Germany only accelerated the shift against their Jewish neighbors.

This antisemitism wasn’t a Nazi invention. It had roots that went back centuries, with figures like Martin Luther, the Protestant reformer, who was notoriously anti-Semitic. In his 1543 work "On the Jews and Their Lies," Luther called for the burning of synagogues and Jewish schools, the destruction of Jewish homes, and the forced segregation of Jews into ghettos. Though not a direct precursor to the Holocaust, Luther’s writings contributed to a cultural backdrop that the Nazis later exploited.

The German tradition of autocracy also facilitated the removal of personal freedoms. Until the end of World War I, Germany had been an empire, with a long history of centralized, authoritarian rule. The abrupt transition to the Weimar Republic after the war left the German people disillusioned and distrustful of democracy. This new government had to grapple with the fallout of World War I, and from the outset, the people had little faith in it. Their first experience with a government that wasn’t a monarchy was a disaster, further compounded by their fear of Bolshevism, as Soviet Russia loomed large on the horizon.

Adding to this was the Treaty of Versailles, which the Allied powers forced Germany to sign after the war. The treaty was harsh, with 440 articles detailing Germany’s punishment. The $55 billion in reparations, territorial losses, and forced disarmament were severe, but it was the "War Guilt Clause"—which made Germany accept full blame for the war—that caused the deepest turmoil among the German people. This clause didn’t just burden them with financial debt; it inflicted a deep sense of national shame.

The economic collapse that followed the war was catastrophic. Hyperinflation made the German mark virtually worthless, and the people were desperate for a savior—someone who could restore not just their economy, but their pride. Many figures emerged, promising salvation, but none managed to gain lasting support.

So, what made Adolf Hitler different? Initially, he wasn’t widely liked. Many Germans found him repulsive in appearance, speech, and politics. Yet history now remembers the crowds that surrounded him with fervor, almost like Beatlemania. What changed?

Hitler appealed directly to the German people, speaking their language—literally and figuratively. He wasn’t a politician by trade; he had been a soldier in World War I and shared the same experiences and feelings as the general public. His message was nationalistic, striking a chord in a nation desperate to reclaim its former glory.

There’s an important distinction to make here between nationalism and patriotism.

Nationalism is often marked by a sense of superiority, an aggressive belief that one’s nation is inherently better than others. It demands conformity to a single national identity and is intolerant of outsiders. Patriotism, by contrast, is a love for one’s country without the need to assert superiority or enforce strict boundaries. It allows for personal opinions and social diversity.

After World War I, the German people were so unprepared for defeat that they clung to a dangerous myth: the "stab in the back" theory. This lie suggested that Germany hadn’t truly lost the war on the battlefield but had been betrayed from within, particularly by Jews. This theory, though completely unfounded, was easier to accept than the harsh reality of defeat.

The "stab in the back" myth laid the groundwork for Hitler and the Nazis to craft a narrative in which Jews became the ultimate scapegoat for all of Germany’s woes. Despite making up less than 1% of the population, Jews were blamed for everything—from capitalism to communism, from the loss of World War I to the collapse of the economy.

Before we scoff at how an entire nation could become Nazis, it’s crucial to understand the context. The German people were not inherently evil, but they were manipulated by a carefully constructed ideology that played on their fears, their pride, and their desperation. Hitler gave them a sense of purpose, pride, and power—but at a devastating cost.

In my next posts, I’ll explore more about the how Adolf Hitler managed to transform his image from someone that no one particularly liked or took seriously to the savior of Germany, as well as how his ideology didn't come from thin air, helping to move the shift of culture and ethics of the general population faster than if the groundwork hadn't already been subtly laid.

Understanding this history is essential if we hope to prevent such atrocities from occurring again, stay tuned.

PSA: TRANSGENDERISM AND THE HOLOCAUST - PROPAGANDA MACHINES REWRITE HISTORY

PLEASE READ THIS SHORT POST AND BOOST IF YOU CAN. LIVES HANG IN THE BALANCE. The Wikipedia articles for the Holocaust, trans people during the Holocaust, and trans genocide appear to have been shortened drastically. The Holocaust page itself now mentions nothing of the trans victims of the camps. The page for trans genocide is now a stub of its former self that includes criticism from a Canadian Jewish organization claiming that calling this the early stages of a genocide is "insensitive" to victims of "recognized genocide".

They cannot be allowed to get away with this in the shadows. This cannot be viewed as anything but cooking the history books to distance American right-wing politics from Nazi ideology. Please share this knowledge in any way you can, because the world needs to remember: the Nazis of 20th century Germany used strategies directly inspired by the Jim Crow laws of the United States. They cannot fool us if we pay attention.

Ya'll need to understand that Nazism does not equal White Supremacy.

Ya'll need to understand that Nazi does not mean "generic bad person". I know that here in the USA our history classes tend to overlook the actual ideology of Nazis and summarize it as white supremacy, but that's not the case. The Nazis even split Europe up into races with them at the top of hierarchy. Hence why they could dehumanize the neighboring countries and attack them.

But at the end of the day Nazi's blamed Jews for the corruption of the other races, all of societies ills, and everything bad. Full stop.

A lot of this has been "whitewashed" for one reason or another. Hell, if you go to Brittanica right now you'll see that the one way they describe Nazis is "an evil person who wants to use power to control and harm other people especially because of their race, religion, etc."

Notice how that doesn't mention anything about antisemitism and their reasoning. It's brushing under the rug that Jew hate placed a key and central role in Nazi ideology.

White supremacy doesn't do that. It blames everyone who does not fit its description of "white" as the source of perceived problems.

For example:

The Nazis killed queer people. We know this. However, they blamed Jews for this "corruption".

White supremacists would blame racial minorities in general or a specific one for the "corruption". They would not place the blame solely on Jews.

There are overlaps, of course, in Nazi ideology and white supremacy, with many of the former being adopted by neo-Nazis who are white supremacists of a specific flavor.

But you need to understand that they're not the same.

So when you go around justifying a pogrom, denying that it was a pre-planned attack on Jews, and even say that "They deserved it"... well you're not a white supremacist.

You're a Nazi.

And you sure as shit wouldn't be one to punch a Nazi nowadays. You just want to punch a "bad person".

Can we add Nazi to the list of words we're not allowing goyim to use until they learn what it really means. I don't think they should be using it until they learn Nazism is a very specific fascist political ideology with antisemitism baked into it's core and not just a placeholder word for "bad guys". If I hear "(((Zionists))) are the new Nazis" one more time I'm gonna fucking snap.

Can't believe I just saw someone say that Harris is a nazi...

They were 100% serious too. Made a whole long ass post about it.

The kind of long ass post meant to wear you down mentally but doesn't actually prove the point they're trying to make so you end up wasting your time reading through it hoping that maybe just maybe some actual truth will be found there. Just because you make a long ass post doesn't mean it's filled with truth or proves anything lmfao. Just proves you're online too much and live in an echo chamber.

Worst part is I used to follow this person pre Oct 7th. They were getting increasingly annoying and illogical but they really went off the rails after Oct 7th.

Anyways; we need to stop goyim from calling every person they don't like a nazi. Nazism is a specific ideology. It's not a synonym for "person I don't like" or "lukewarm capitalist liberal" or "right winger" or even "bad person".

And y'all blatantly ignore actual antisemitism within your own group so maybe clean your own house first?
