      From: andronicus451@gmail.com              You might wonder how is it possible that a nation who had so many great       scientists and philosophers, virtually invented Christianity as I know it       by Martin Luther, had Hegel, Kant, Karl Marx, Goethe, Gutenberg, Planck,       ... ends up committing a virtual genocide against so many neighbouring       nations?              There were several approaches to this that come to mind, although I cannot       claim for certain, only being a "smart general after the war" and learning       from second-hand sources.              The first approach is called "cooking the frog". Mr. Adolph Hitler did not       come with "endlosung" in 1933. It is doubtful whether by that time it       was conceived in form of Auschwitz and Treblinka at all.              Germans had to gradually adapt to the exponentially growing totalitarian       systems.              But that would be impossible without the second factor: the Fear.              Germans were existentially afraid and on the brink of extinction,       with ramping hyperinflation, billions of worthless Weimar Republic       Marks and under a heavy load of sanctions and debts and reparations       from the Versailles treaty and WW1.              In fact, they were even more demoralised by the moral decay in       the Weimar Republic that destroyed the German traditional moral       values, and made them slaves of debauchery, growing homosexualism       and a number of other things that Mr. Hitler saw as degeneration.              He appeared to provide a solution to the nation stripped of its power,       but not the will to power, for it is innate to human beings. If we are       without any power in a hostile world in which everything wants to       kill us, rob us or otherwise destroy us morally, we will be destroyed.       So, the will to power is not only coming from arrogant rulers who       want to rule over the song of the birds. It is coming from virtually       every existentially endangered individual and nation. For we are       witnesses that the weaker or otherwise "impure" races are left       to perish to hunger, disease, slaughter, and/or collateral damage,       in which they do not count (because they are not white or they       are the wrong shade of white).              "A strong hand" is desired as a warrant of protection and basic survival       when existential threats arise. Mr. Hitler was recognised as such.       In this, I am not interested in blaming Germans, Nazis or even       Mr. Adolph Hitler of Mr. Goebbels, but better understand the       mechanisms that make good people execute, condone or approve       gruesome acts, mostly "for the better good", usually but not limited       to the faith, patriotism, the political Party in power, or some       figure with authority. Even a small local networked tyrant or informer.              What we see on small scale as mobbing or bullying is not harmless       exercise of power on those who "made themselves victims",       psychology thereof exculpating the abusers. It has the potential       to blow into a full-scale witch hunt against individual or a genocide       against an ethnic, religious or political group. Thus the totem       of power is reerected. The phalus of the authority is reerected,       and its power is the warrant of the survival of the species,       religion, or political group.              It is so basic and functions through the unconscious parts of the       collective conscience, called scapegoating. The evil and degeneration       that threatens the group's existence is projected on the scapegoated       group. When the scapegoated groups is punished for the evil,       by abusive treatment or even death, the peace is restored. Alas,       only temporarily, for which is the enemy against to blame.              This happens because they nation which comes through a process       of "purification" doesn't come to the cross and takes responsibility       for innate evil or misbehaviour. It short-circuits this process, trying       to cheat karma and become superior group or nation by sacrificing       others, instead of individual purification and search for enlightenment       which is the mark of true Aryan nations just as early German       philosophers.              As all of these behaviours are exponentially growing through denial       of God, His Law, His Commandments, and establishment of human       authority that replaced or forbids Christ, governments killing their       own citizens surpass by orders of magnitude every other cause of       death, possibly excluding only abortion.              in the Lord       Amen              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
