See, this sort of thing is where it’s hard to call these people Nazis because the Nazis would have been extremely into IVF as a form of eugenics. And that’s the biggest schism between MAGA’s theofacsim and old school Nazis: the hostility towards intellectualism and knowledge/science and the embrace of ignorance, stupidity, scaffolded on religion. It fuels hate based on something intangible (religious belief rather than science) which is protected as sacrosanct by the First Amendment, can’t be reasoned or argued with or disputed by fact, and is the one and only mental illness not allowed to be called out as one.
And that’s what makes it so much more dangerous than Naziism.
Might wanna double-check your knowledge of theology and Nazism. We're still in the early stages of the third Reich, maybe somewhere around the Beer Hall Putsch: religion was still regarded as a powerful tool to influence useful idiots.
Never forget: "it's a bible."
Oh, no, by no means am I one of those “Nazis were atheists” people. I’m well-aware of their reliance on a sort of perverted Christian nationalism as a sort of mythos, although that got pretty twisted with other gothic and Nordic symbolism as the war and Hitler’s meth addiction waged on… that dude was batshit.
BTB about his drug addiction was one of the most epic exposees I've ever heard
After figuring out what BTB (Behind The Ba$tards) stands for, I think it's time for me to check this podcast out. Seems highly praised by a lot of folks.
And it doesn't matter how anyone rationalizes any of it .... it's the money, funding and support.
As long as wealthy backers and supporters keep pouring money into this movement, the more prominent it will become.
There are just as many or more political zealots who believe in far left socialism or even full on authoritarian communism.... the only difference is that they don't have the money or support to make a difference or have any influence.
There is one religion that drives all of it .... the all powerful, all inclusive, all influential religion of money.
Um... no?
Nazis were about continuing their genes, the superior genes, and noone else's.
Do I really need to que up the idiocracy clip to show what aggressively rawdogging reds are doing in Alabama?
Do you not know what IVF is or how it works? If you like it explained in movie form, check out Gattaca, and how the Nazis would use it to create the Ubermench.
