Adolf Hitler’s conception of the Jew and the effects of that cultural contagion upon the German volk was pretty crazy. His idea of the negative reach of this Jew problem included almost everything he considered weak and non-German. Christianity and the church were at their root part of the Jew influence in Hitler’s view. Bolshevism was a Jewish conspiracy in Hitler’s mind too. Hitler’s idealised conception of what it meant to be a pure Aryan German was located in the blood in his pseudo-scientific belief about this. Eugenics was all the rage in the 1920s and 30s. Social Darwinism was a part of this pop cultural misunderstanding of the emerging biological information coming to the fore. Hitler, racism and in the blood. The German medical and scientific establishment were proponents of ideas about selective breeding and culling of perceived bad stock. So, were many doctors and scientists in Europe and the United States. The human beings they called Negroes were considered lesser than those classified as Caucasians, as were Asians and others with different coloured skin tones. Nazism was not alone in its hierarchical judgements and evaluations of human beings. The fact that under the Nazi regime these German doctors and nurses would oversee the state sponsored murders and sterilisations of hundreds of thousands of disabled and mentally deficient human beings from 1933 to 1945 is the key difference. The Nazi gas chambers would cut their teeth on this early work of the Third Reich. Diesel, a French/German invention, would play a role in this killing machine.
Nazis & Hitler’s Blood Feud With Jews
Nazism demanded totalitarian commitment to its cause. There was no room for other beliefs like Christianity, whatever the flavour. The Jew was identified as the poison in the blood of the German race. Jewishness was outlawed and eventually made stateless. Professor Timothy Snyder has pointed the finger at statelessness, as the forerunner to annihilation by the state of some 6 million Jews throughout Europe. German Jews who did not have obviously Jewish names were renamed either Israel or Sarah on their identity cards by the Nazis in 1938. This was accompanied by a large letter J stamped across them. Later, they would be forced to wear a yellow star prominently displayed on their attire. It is hard to fathom the unrelenting nastiness in this business of extreme racial profiling. The Nazis would drive Jewish businesses to the wall and steal the wealth of individuals and companies.
Companies like Allianz, IG Farben, BASF, BMW, Bayer, and Deutsche Bank, among others, all profited from the Nazi regime and its extreme racial policies.

Mein Kampf & Hitler’s Bloody Racism
Adolf Hitler laid out all his extreme views and nutty ideas in Mein Kampf, so nobody can say that they never saw it coming. 10 million Germans would join the Nazi party and these people were not forced to do so. Mein Kampf would be distributed widely during the ascendancy of the Nazis in Germany and Hitler would profit handsomely from sales of his book. This extreme focus of Hitler’s and the Nazi’s upon the racial uncleanliness of the Jewish race went beyond antisemitism. It was also an intellectual obsession of fanatic proportions. Hitler grouped together everything he despised about the world and labelled it part and parcel of the Jewish problem. Ideas like Christianity and Marxism were Jew related in their provenance in Hitler’s mind.
The One Nation Finger Pointing
The Jews were identified as ‘other’ and not purely German. This ‘otherness’ remains with us today, as a concept employed by nationalistic groups and political parties. Ethno-racists continue to plague our world. Names like One Nation, which have been drawn from Hitler speeches, are meant to unite the chosen around a certain flag. Hate speech is used to fire up the disgruntled and to give them targets for their anger. The politics of grievance is once again all the rage, in this era of social media silos. Blame it on the immigrant and refugee is a populist theme doing the rounds of social media. Whether these online comments and posts are the product of bots or actual people is never clear. AI is used to make inflammatory content targeting brown skinned individuals as criminals and beneficiaries of welfare.
Wealthy white supremacists fund campaigns of this type of video content to inundate the social media feeds of ordinary citizens. The dumbing down of humanity, has many of us not questioning where this content comes from.
Money Worries Fuel The Blame Game
Economic uncertainty has many looking for easy targets to blame. Blame it on those ‘other’. Those Muslims, Asians, Abos and LGBTQI folk. Some white individuals wrap themselves in national flags and think they have exclusionary rights over definitions of patriotism. This right wing political activism wants to take the higher ground in any debate about the national interest. In truth, these people have no more right to claim national identity than anyone else. This is self-interest masquerading as the national interest. It is power seeking at its core for those organising these marches and protests. You will find wealthy billionaires sitting like fat spiders at the centre of this web of grievance politics. Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Gina Rinehart, Mark Zuckerberg and co. They want to ride the wave of public outcry and retribution into power for their own aggrandisement. We have seen it all before, this same old story, the flags might change but the nasty game is the same.
Racist Policies End In Deadly Outcomes
During Hitler’s time in power his retribution against all things Jewish would encapsulate everything he despised. Male homosexuality, the Roma people, Slavic people, dark skinned races, and the aged and disabled would all cop it under the aegis of dealing with the Jewish problem. All of these people and their kind were perceived as weakening the true German race. Hitler, racism and in the blood were very slippery slopes for those deemed unwanted by the state. What we have learned from the Holocaust and the many pogroms committed over the centuries is that xenophobia –‘xeno’ meaning stranger or foreigner – ‘phobia’- fear of – invariably ends in genocide. You cannot dabble safely in white supremacy. This kind of things lends itself to extremism, all that ‘in the blood’ rot. We are watching ICE in America murder unarmed American citizens in the streets in cold blood. Masked men dressed up as storm troopers and preying upon brown skinned folk going to work or school.
One Nation voters would do well to take note, you cannot dabble in extreme racial policies and profiling. It will soon devolve into misery and death for human beings around you.
Don’t Believe What You See On Screens
Much of what you see on your screens is click bait from social media content providers. Channel 7 makes a banquet out of every single crime. The actual figures are handfuls out of city populations in the millions. They shock viewers as if we were all living in a tiny town and not a vast metropolis. Statistically these crimes are not waves but the odd splash here and there. Australians spend hours per day living and seeing the world through their phone screens. Many are too dumb to realise that an algorithm is deciding just what they watch. The more shocking crime content you view, the more the algorithm sends you. It is a vicious cycle. Then, along comes unscrupulous far right political campaigners re-editing crime content for their own purposes. Focusing on the foreign looking actors and splicing lots of stuff together to compound the impression. He presto, pretty soon dumb Davo reckons that the world is on fire with dark skinned foreigners running amok on our streets. This content is sent to tens of thousands of Aussies. This is happening every day. This is how you build divisive hate among communities and populations.
Learn From The Trump Debacle
“We know from history that men with tyrannical powers do untold damage to the lives of others. When no checks or balances, surround such individuals, excesses follow. Blowing up boats and invading neighbours illegally. Starting wars without congressional approval, let alone the UN. Stuffing his personal bank accounts with billions. Putting lick spittler’s and celebrity fools in charge of important offices. Lowering the standards of high office forever more. The longer these tyrants stay in power the worse the crimes that follow. Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse-Tung and Napoleon Bonaparte all directly caused the deaths of millions. The excesses of individual dictators plum depths of depravity rarely seen in committees. America has fallen for the guiles of a conman with the morals of a tyrant.”
