The world must be at its darkest hour, in the present, with all those Hitlers around. A look at Hitler-calling and actual Nazi dealings.

It used to be one Abolf Hitler was a hate-filled dictator. If you listen to people explaining him to us today, you’d think he was the devils answer to Jesus. They successfully turned the Hitler character into a mythology. As a result, every presumed evil in the world today is of the Hitler nature, as it used to show the nature of Satan.

There was more to the old Gods-of-war mythology than just how evil they were. They were also worshiped for their strength. Most people worship strength, and they can’t live without it. Before you know it, evil has found its purpose, and if it has purpose, it has a right to exist.

During the Bush years, there were people comparing George Bush to Hitler – propably because he started a war under the pretext of having been attacked first. This comparison was made by individuals on the political left.

With the right-wing out of office and a black moderate from the other party in, there are all these concernes about his policies, especially social policies, his legitimacy, and even his democratic intentions. Is the president a secret muslim who wants to instate sharia law? Or is it worse? Is the president a racist, socialist, commie-nazi?

While right-wing nationalists know some tiny details about what national socialism and the person Hitler really were, and they make up a lot of shit sometimes too, I’ve never heard them bring up these very important, very true points about it:

1. Very basic: The national socialist movement was the ultra political right.
2. When Germany invaded Poland, starting World War 2, Hitler went on the radio talking about how Germany was now shooting back, talking about retaliation when it really was an agression.
3. The Nazi regime sent gays and lesbians to the concentration camp. The reasons for this were different from those they had for sending Jews – there was nothing about them spreading, or trying to take over power. They just hated homosexuality, because it was an insult to the machinery of the perfect man in their Utopia.
4. As maybe his last act of insanity, Adolf Hitler, during his final hours, was convinced that America would join him in his fight against Communism. When Hitlers party took power, no fraction fought them as hard as the German communists. The communists were sent to concentration camps too.
5. The big idea of national socialism, from which the war and anti-Semitism derived, was the presumed superior nature of white, christian Germans over every other person in the world.

Of course white, christian Americans see the terror in a rule of a group of thug, superior, white, christian Germans. If that Hitler would have conquered America, he surely would have painted the White House all brown, and taught the German language to American children. Imagine den Horror! They’d all be speaking German now is a common thing right-wingers in America remind us of when there is criticism of an American war effort, talking about all the good American involvement in World War 2 did.

Well America, we know where you are coming from.

The first modern Americans took a land from the native tribes, and then got overrun by every tribe in the old world that learned of the new world with the means of travel to make the journey. By the most beautiful superficiality, they soon discovered that all men are created equal, and this was not only their opinion but self-evident. These were white, christian men (males) created equal back then.

George Bush wasn’t like Hitler. He doesn’t believe in white supremacy to an extreme degree, or that homosexuality is evil. I don’t think I even heard him demonize communists ever.

I’m not going to tell you who is like Hitler. You shouldn’t be concerned with that person. He is long gone. He wasn’t the last strong man. He wasn’t the last strong German. His strength was the promise of a Utopia were all the perfect people could live unbothered by the weak scum. A promise given to enough racist people gathering at one place who liked the idea.

Obama’s policies and the man’s character could not be further away from any of this.

You do not get to say you are proud to be an American, as long as all you question about America is the legitimacy of her poster boy.

Maybe you are angry at history again, for confirming yet another time that beyond the mythology of good and evil, real people of all colors prove more truths to be self-evident. And because you have all this power, you think they must be out to take over, each time they manage to take part.
