Approx. 12 million Europeans were forced into slave labour by the Nazis, 2/3 from Central and Eastern Europe. 20% alone from Poland.

I remember reading an admittedly brief biography of Hitler and the part that stuck with me was the description of him as a young man before he got into power. It was really familiar, I've encountered so many disillusioned white guys like that in the UK who'll just rant and blame [insert minority here] and get applauded for it in the same way he did. It's happening again even.

[@Kavino]

This. Hitler was just one of the many in post-war Austria and Germany that harboured a strong desire for vengeance and a desire to blame their woes on a traditionally maligned minority group, which was the easiest thing to do for them. He was exceptional in his ambition and rhetorical ability, not in his minset; his desire for violent conquest and genocide was only too common in Europe inside and out Germany at the time. And worryingly enough, as discussed by in this video, I see too much parallels in America. Fascism is popular in the USA and getting more so by the moment.

[@page8301]

Hitler can be pretty much labled as an abject failure throughout his life. His earlier years he was living on his father's wealth who died early giving AH an early inheritance which he squandered rather quickly. He then went to Vienna and failed to get admission to its prestigious art academy because he was not a good enough artist so he became a post card painter and did some other menial jobs yet in his mind he was supposed to not do this kind of labour which he considered "beneath" him. Then came the war and he was an eager participant, it is quite disturbing to read that even when most of his company died and he had comrades being blown apart left and right to him he still considered it to be the best time of his life. Despite him being an eager beaver he never made it past the rank of private and it was a repeated taunt to call him "der österreichische Gefreite" which translates to "the Austrian private". For example Hindenburg called him that and had a low opinion of him as did Ludendorf despite both of them being conservative monarchists that abhorred the Weimar Republic just like AH did. AH had a lot of luck that he came to power, there was huge resistance against the Weimar Republic and few actually cared for democracy especially among the rich and powerful. Then came the economic crisis of 1929 and some other factors like the Treaty of Versailles which many Germans considered a huge shame, and stain, and in conjunction with the "Stab in the back " legend, which was nothing but a filthy lie, it is easy to see how AH was handed his reign on a silver platter, among some other factors like massive support by the industrialist elite for example. He just had to be dogged enough to persist until the time was right and the signs were on the horizon to anyone paying attention.

I didn't really know what to say because the speech was just incoherent shouting about the nation or something.

yea, for me it's similar, and I am an (almost) native speaker (not born in Ger, but went to school here etc.). From my pov, his speeches have the same energy and coherence as the type of drunk person with problems you might encounter in a city or on public transport, who's angrily shouting and cursing into the void about something. I could be wrong, but I think his (or his propagandists') actual skill/achievement, if you wanna call it that, was the ability to orchestrate settings where this kind of rambling would "inspire". Like, on one hand, establish a militia and denunciation networks, where sane people who'd speak out against the insanity of it all get silenced. Meanwhile, hold these huge meetings where you strategically plant ideologues in the audience to manipulate public perception of and reaction to what AH says (similar to how audiences are engineered for live comedy shows), and to get the masses to shout stuff collectively to make them feel strong as a group. I'm no psychologist, but I'm quite sure this kind of collective shouting does something to people psychologically. And there's ofc the whole thing about giving people a scape goat, a common "enemy" = hate object they can project their problems onto, and promises of "easy solutions".

[@code8825]

Honestly I don’t mean to freak you out more, but I think you’re right to be worried. Personally I live in British Columbia, Canada, which has several Nazi groups with a strong foothold here, the Order of Nine Angles being my personal biggest concern, as well as a far-right presence in other groups which may not be outright Nazis, but certainly have some neo-nazi members and carry out a far right agenda. I would consider the Soldiers of Odin and the Proud Boys to be examples of that sort of group. Additionally, climate change is real, it is happening, and already causing large amounts of climate refugees. How do rich, first world countries respond to impoverished refugees? The liberals respond by taking advantage of them, using these struggling people for cheap labour, and the conservatives do that plus a whole bunch of racist and xenophobic rhetoric. We have seen splits in the right wing in North America specifically with the “People’s Party of Canada”, a far-right split from the generally more centre-right Conservative Party of Canada, and in some of the more rabid of the Trump base, especially with some of the issues around Qanon. All of this is to say that I think you’re right, and we are heading to potential fascism in North America specifically, and probably other places (especially Western Europe), but as a Canadian I’ll speak to what I know. Personally I think the fall to further fascism will happen as a result of issues around climate change, economic insecurity, and a large amount of climate refugees. I wont pretend to know how to survive a “holocaust-like event” as you put it, but something is absolutely going to happen, probably within the next 50 or so years, and I do think being prepared in some sort of way is vital. Personally, I am trying to connect with people I know who have similar political views and form of a bit of an organization, try to get active in the community, as whenever things do happen, I don’t want to be alone. I personally hope that I’ll be able to form some sort of organization that can both forward the cause of socialism and provide self-defence against the fascism that you’re talking about. Sadly though, I can’t offer any survival tips, the most I can hope for personally is that I will die a partisan, and if things really do get that bad, I will be as brave as I hope I would be and help others. I suppose that is really the only advice I could think of, is make connections with people and be prepared, you’ll be able to do more even with some random friend than some random KZbin comment could. And just have some sort of plan or idea of what your goal is and what you want to do. Self-preservation is as good a goal as any, I’m personally looking into hunting to get more familiar with firearms and general hunting/outdoorsman skills, but having a familiarity with firearms is probably not important at all compared to having a safe location to go/people to support you if you’re looking to preserve your life instead of go out like Johanna Schaft. Anyways, apologies for such a long and rambling comment, hope my intention came across, much love and support, stay safe.

[@hughcaldwell1034]

I think the specifics depend on where you live. . In general, though, I'd say that the most important thing is building networks. People survived the Holocaust either because they got out in time, or someone was willing to take them in and hide them. So, finding/establishing both local and international networks is vital. Building solidarity within your local community also makes it more resistant to this kind of ideology. It's harder to dehumanise Jewish, queer, disabled or other marginalised people if everyone on the street knows that perfectly lovely gay couple down the road. Unfortunately, so many people don't know the first thing about their neighbours nowadays, and community solidarity has suffered. I'd also encourage self-defence. There are groups that give proper training in armed and unarmed combat, and more and more of them are doing so with protection of minorities against hate crimes as an explicit goal. Lastly, I'd just like to say that it's not too late. Put up posters, counter-protest, join anti-fascist action groups and find out what you can do for them. Make it clear to your town, city and country that we aren't going to stand for another reich. We aren't letting this sh*t happen again. Good luck, and stay safe.

The states wanted to self govern! So they could keep owning people. Property rights! The property were humans. Territorial expansion rights towards the west! They wanted the right to make slavery legal in every new territory, whereas the union wanted to freeze its expansion and let it slowly fade away, the south wanted to make slavery an economic powerhouse again. Even the argument that many confederate soldiers were fighting for the loyalty to their states is BS, HUGE numbers of southerners from confederate states joined the union army because they knew what was right

[@nathanielchieffallo4273]

​@@cloudynguyen6527 that's about right, most of these people also claim that it was ONLY about states rights, which completely contradicts the rhetoric of the south at the time. For years before and after the war, they defended the legal enslavement of people for their labor as a benevolent, paternalistic institution with social and economic benefits, an important part of civilization, and a divine institution similar or superior to the labor in the North. They used Christianity to defend it's use and even started utilizing propaganda to portray slaves as happy even after the war. The daughters of the confederacy (rich southern white woman who lost their "property" and went on a whining campaign) had a "Faithful Slave Memorial Committee" where they attempted and succeeded to erect memorials to these fantastical depictions of slaves that wanted to continue to be slaves. It is undoubtedly one of the main reasons for the war and anyone saying otherwise is a fool or a weirdo. In short, the lost cause myth was created as a response to their crushing defeat and destruction of their morale. They made up fantasies about the moral superiority of their "way of life" and idolize rose-tinted views of the leaders of the south. Even depicting random southern archetypes out and glorifying them: the chivalric planter; the magnolia-scented southern belle; the good, gray Confederate veteran, once a knight of the field and saddle; and obliging old Uncle Remus. All these, while enveloped in a golden haze, became very real to the people of the South, who found the symbols useful in the reconstituting of their shattered civilization. They perpetuated the ideals of the Old South and brought a sense of comfort to the New. In other words, the lost cause myth is just cope; but on a cultural scale.

And that is what is missing from these youtube videos and the tweets and tiktoks etc - is context. There isn't time to go into the context, so all you get is the unfiltered Geobbels propaganda. There is nothing inherently wrong with providing full uncut translated versions of Hitlers speeches.

Not sure that was just Hitler though… people like Goebbels or Speer really helped with the “marketing”. Speer got involved with the large rallies, some of the unique look is down to him. And sadly Goebbels wasn’t stupid when it came to propaganda… I absolutely hate Nazis/ Nazism, but sadly not all of them were stupid idiots. Speer managed to talk himself out of a death sentence and rehabilitate himself (somewhat for some time)… still absolutely incredible how people fell for his lies.

[@Onoesmahpie]

I agree with Lorenz we must examine the entire nazi machine and the ideas which allowed it to be in the first place if we are ever to prevent it from popping up in another form in the future. Hitler was an instrumental part of Nazi germany, a keystone no doubt. However, he was one human being shaped by the ideas of his time. He was not a singular entity, nor an 'antichrist', he was not an anomaly or a demon. The horrible truth was that he was a human being, and that another human being could, perhaps being born in circumstances similar to hitler, develop similar beliefs, consolidate power, and then enact atrocities unspeakable. How do we as a society prevent this? Have we actually taken a single step to do so? I worry that the failure to discuss adequately underlying ideas such as how nazi propaganda was so successful, and why such ideas are so hateful and ignorant and bigoted, and even why so many people can go on to adopt them, how such a hateful genocide machine can engulf an entire country, is simply allowing the term 'hitler' and by extension nazi Germany to morph into an amorphous meaningless concept that is universally demonized, but perhaps in many cases without ever really disarming the landmine that were the conditions which made hitler and by extension nazi Germany possible.

If you have relatives with "experiences" of the Axis, and if your school system taught you the most elementary things about Nazism (a movement that seeks to undo the Enlightenment and even potentially Christianity and regress society back to the stone or bronze age, where "the Strong dominated the Weak and that was Fair"), that should be enough. So something's up with the West's school system, since most of them weren't invaded by the Axis.

I have full shame about this, and I don’t tell many people this for obvious reasons but around 2016 (13 years old) I went into the alt-right pipeline on KZbin. It started with the anti-SJW stuff and then I got recommended Hitler speeches from KZbin. It’s really a shame because when I was 12, I was liberal and coming to terms with my sexuality. I believed a heavily revised version of history where the holocaust didn’t happen and the Nazi’s never persecuted LGBT people for being LGBT. I wish I could make up for the harm I did, it was the biggest mistake of my life.

Adolf Hitler actually worked with a theatre teacher for a while before the 30s election in order to learn how to speak and portray himself. So the myth that he was naturally charismatic is a joke, he had to learn how to be a good speaker and how to radiate confidence. Before that, all he had going for him was his wild passion for his beliefs. It gets even more pathetic when you understand that Hitler stole Mussolinis whole flow, word for word, bar for bar. The posturing, the speaking patterns, the theatrics, the fucking salute. Nothing about this man was unique, EXCEPT how evil he was

About JP on Hitler: "I've studied hitler A LOT", so what, he read Mein Kampf or what? Anyone who read even the slightest bit of credible literature on Hitler would know all the coming things are bullshit. "You can't say he was stupid", well he wasn't completely dumb but someone buying into an ideology like he does, not graduating school, drifting on the streets and finally claiming WW1 was the greatest time of his life, you can't hand him "intelligence" either. "He wasn't without artistic talent", as someone who actually does art for a living, this makes my blood boil. Yes, he could paint a bit, but not beyond what everyone could learn if they gave it some practice. He painted mostly landscapes, because he couldn't draw people, colors and perspective were more than often funky. There is a reason he was turned down at the School of Fine Arts in Vienna and the professor (allegedly) suggesting he study architecture instead. "You can't say that he was a poor organizer", actually you can, because he never really organised anything in his political career, he always had predetermined structures and people there to build up everything for him. Anytime he had to organize himself, AKA normal life, he was a failure. "You can't say that he wasn't charismatic". This one is a bit harder, because it's subjective. He learned rhetoric from his post as a propagandist in the Reichswehr and taught himself some of it, but he allegdly was pretty awkward as a person. He could do great speeches, but other than that he didn't offer much of anything, that's why, e.g. he had little friends outside of his party and the only women he associated with were of his family and or other party memebers. He married Eva Braun not because she was swooned by him or anything of the sort, but because SHE came to HIM. "He did WONDERS for the economy!" -- this one is complete and utter BULLSHIT. He resurrected the arms industry to prepare for war and had infrastructure built for the same reason. The side effect of that was reduced unemployment, which restarted the economic machine of capitalism, however that was not due to some Hitlerian genius, anyone could've done it. And the economy wasn't "great", it was barely scraping by, but still better than what especially Brüning left behind. With the MEFO-system, he was going down the road of economic collapse, such a system could only be retained through conquest of foreign labour and capital. Jordan Peterson is a pseudo-intellectual and this has to stop, he is literally pushing nazi myths, again and again.

[@Kurrentschrift]

Saying Hitler didn’t have artistic talent is not fair. I think he had great talent, his drawing were quite good for the fact that he didn’t have any outside training as far as i know at leat. He grew up in an austrian village so i doubt that he had even Access to instructional books. Yes his perspectives were funky and he couldn’t paint people but teaching that yourself is not easy, just from my own experience i found just watching a few youtube tutorials really increased my skill in a short time if i had to figure it out all by myself i would have taken much longer to lear. also his aesthetic decisions proved to be massively popular and effective for propaganda.

Now for the sake of historical accuracy, there was a branch initially of that party who were effectively Nazbol, believed in implementing some socialist economic policies with Conservative social policies, but even they were expunged from the party after they took power. The actual Nazi's weren't socialist at all, they had some State intervention as well as privatisation economic policies but state intervention does not a socialist make. Workers did not sieze the means of production, the Nazi party did. But all of their social policies were virtually identical to a lot of far-right Conservative policies, even many far-right policies implemented today in places like Hungary, Italy, Russia, the UK and yes even in the United States. They were a far-right party in every way that counts. I'm also not remotely convinced by these people trying to claim Italian fascism was inspired by socialist thought either.
