Why I don't side with Nazis
internet meme, I don't side with them even with my flaws. I have so many of that, but I do not side for many reasons.
first they always use words "subversion" and "subtelty"
as if personal choice and ignorance are victim card. I am not subverted, it is my fault personally.
It is feminine ideology, "words" "words" kind of argument, ignoring any reasonable cause.
and also , it is made for SUCKERS. for sacrifical sheep (except they're male - tautological joke). how many of these roman citizens were rich and happy? How many, compared to the oligarchs who have ruled the country through fear and hired mercenaries, who was happier? Absolute power. Will not help me white male, only your full humility is what I want. Otherwise, don't talk to me about it.
Nazism comes from inferiority not from superiority complex...
Only the ones who feel left out and inferior feel desire to become nazi and experience life in different colors.
Anyone can be a nazi regarding of race.
I think that the worst and most dangerous misconception people have about fascism is that it's this sort of turbocharged "Beast Mode" that countries can go into to increase their production, win wars, and make the trains run on time, and that the primary objections to it centre on whether the "obvious" increase in efficiency that fascism offers is worth the loss of freedom and lives. But in reality fascist regimes like to put up a *façade* of strength and efficiency, even as they practice corruption on a scale unimaginable in democracies and even as the public interest is hollowed out by parasitical opportunists. There is no trade-off; fascism is a grift all the way down.
Eugenics, and how it leads to gender
NO.1
What is eugenics? Better yet, what was the eugenics movement about? Wikipedia states that ‘'it’s a set of beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population, historically by excluding people and groups judged to be inferior or promoting those judged to be superior. In recent years, the term has seen a revival in bioethical discussions on the usage of new technologies such as CRISPR and genetic screening, with a heated debate on whether these technologies should be called eugenics or not.’’
NO.2
The concept was created by Plato, where he suggested the concept of selective breeding; but the term was invented by a cousin of Darwin, Francis Galton, who launched the movement to ‘improve the human race, or at least, to halt its perceived decline. His ideas spread quickly, and by the 1920s eugenics movements existed all over the world. Eugenics, a movement for social betterment clothed in the mantle of modern science, claimed the allegiance of most genetic scientists and drew supporters from the political right, left, and center. The movement was embraced by Hitler and the rise of Nazism, which thankfully lost most of its power at the fall of the Third Reich in Europe and America, but some of its ideas still linger in the States. Like the notion of gender and marriage; strictly speaking, of white heterosexual couples.
NO.3
In the 1920’s eugenicist, Paul Popenoe brought marriage counseling to the U.S, where he sought to protect ‘family values’ since there was widespread concern over the declining white birth rates and created the American Institute of Family Relations (AIFR) where they popularized pseudoscientific sexual differences to the masses. Back then, everything in pop culture had little trails leading back to eugenics, including in schools, taught to their children, plastered as ads to their buildings, like pamphlets and books, all on advocating for the white female students to produce more children. Popenoe argued that the ‘male-female difference transcended all other human differences and was the ‘greatest that can exist between the two normal human beings.’ He felt that was this sex binary was essential to the survival of the family, nation, and western civilization, and therefore must be protected from the decadence of modern society.
NO.4
Post-war eugenicists were threatened by the higher education women which they felt decreased ‘natural birthrates and called for traditional marriage with defined sex-gender roles arguing that ‘men and women were made for marriage, biologically and psychologically.’ Patricia Hill Collins explains in her book, “It’s All in the Family: Intersections of Gender, Race, and Nation that ‘‘stationed in the center of ‘family values’ debates is an imagined traditional family ideal. Formed through a combination of marital and bloody ties, ideal families consist of heterosexual couples that produce their own biological family. Defined as a natural or biological arrangement based on heterosexual attraction, this monolithic family type articulates with governmental structures. Because family constitutes a fundamental principle of social organization, the significance of the traditional family ideal transcends ideology. In the United States, understandings of social institutions and social policies are often constructed through family rhetoric. Families constitute primary sites of belonging to various groups: to the family as an assumed biological entity; to geographically identifiable, racially segregated neighborhoods conceptualized as imagined families; to so-called racial families codified in science and law, and to the U.S nation-state conceptualized as a national family.’’
One of the rooms of the nazi bunker in Pallasstrasse, Berlin. Totally dark, the only light was the flash of my camera. The bunker is currently closed. Some history at http://goo.gl/WuRFg9 - Google Street View https://goo.gl/maps/EB6G0
Good to see this post making the rounds again. I forgot to include that link in my first response, so here it is again for good measure. It digs a bit more into the matter and makes a point that Kuvira may be more of an modernizing authoritarian than an out-and-out fascist. (A very fine point, yes, but an important one to keep in mind.) Come to think of it, I’ve been wondering for the longest time if Amon may have been the actual Nazi. Certainly when you look at Book 1 of Korra as a whole, it’s not hard to make a case that for all the talk of equality and the downtrodden nonbender, Amon’s ultimate goal was the elimination or expulsion of all benders from the United Republic, and his first act upon seizing control of Republic City was to round up the benders and strip them of their powers by force. While I don’t know the correct word to describe benders as a subset of all humans in the universe of Avatar, I don’t think anyone could disagree that Amon’s plan for all benders was essentially ethnic cleansing.
A piece I did for avatarfanzine - Children of the Earth zine, which if you pre-ordered it, should be getting it real soon. I wished Kuvira would’ve had a longer season to shine a lot more. She genuinely saw herself as the hero of the people.
