Re: Is the demonization of Hitler as we see even warranted at all?

I did not say Adolf Hitler was trying to kill everyone on the planet. I am just pointing out in his National Socialist Worldview, subjugating or killing people considered inferior is not off the table.HansHill wrote: ↑Fri May 02, 2025 1:13 pmFascinating question, I'm actually very interested in this topic, because NOTLK exposes the early NSDAP government to uncomfortable truths about power dynamics. I have prepared some material for this before, you can view my thoughts on NOTLK in this thread. I specifically zoned into the credibility of the Rohm Putsch here, and concluded that it was credible.ConfusedJew wrote: ↑Fri May 02, 2025 1:07 pm Is it ever OK to demonize anybody?
Hitler was very close friends with Ernst Rohm until his desire to merge the SA paramilitary with the Germany military under his leadership threatened the Nazi military elites.
During the Night of the Long Knives, Hitler ordered a purge of the SA and had his friend arrested and killed without trial.
Is having your close friend killed in order to gain power worth demonizing?

There is a difference between a religious and a racial anti-semitism, which is not hard to see. Being able to switch religions to escape persecution is not nearly as bad as being pinned just because of your parents ethnic group.
The text of the image "Denn diese sind nur ein Wurf nach dem Menschen hin" translates to "Because these are only a throw towards man" (using google translate). So, Black and Asian people are only a throw towards man who supposedly do not hit the mark.
Their Japanese Allies should not have been surprised with an image demeaning an Asian man as not fully a man, considering Hitler's steadfast belief in Aryan/White Supremacy.
"If, from today onwards, the Aryan influence on Japan ceased—if Europe and America collapsed—then Japan’s present progress in science and technology might still last for a short while. But within a few decades, the inspiration would dry up, native Japanese character would flourish, and present civilization would become fossilized and fall back into the sleep from which it was aroused seven decades ago by Aryan culture. Therefore, just as present Japanese development is due to Aryan influence, so in the distant past, foreign influence and spirit awakened Japanese culture of that day."

"This is already clear from a glance at the current world situation: We have a number of nations that, based on their innate, superior values, havércreated a way of life that bears no relation to the living space they inhabit in dense settlements. We have the so-called white race, which, since the collapse of antiquity, has secured a privileged position in the world for itself in the space of about a thousand years. However, I cannot understand the economically privileged position of the white race over the rest of the world unless I closely connect it with a political conception of mastery that has been inherent in the white race as something natural for many centuries and has been represented by it externally Take any single region, for example, India: England did not acquire India by right and order, but without regard for the wishes, opinions, or legal opinions of the natives, and maintained this rule, if necessary, with the most brutal ruthlessness. Just as Cortez or Bizarro once appropriated Centra. America and the northern states of South America not on the basis of any legal claims, but out of the absolute, innate sense of mastery of the white race. The settlement of the North American continent did not result from any higher legal claims according to democratic or international understanding"

Incase anyone here considers themselves a National Socialist, do you agree that "Superior races" are right to dominate "Inferior" ones?
