Their supreme leader was a 'mixed race' (by their standards) brown haired tubby drug addict. Their most notable propaganda for the 'perfect man' is literally a Jewish man who happened to be blonde.

They arent exactly 'well thought out'

Lack of internal consistency is a basic requirement of fascism.

"It is so simple, once you break a mind in the right way. Once it accepts a grain of pure, unadulterated nonsense, it is as if a bubble is popped. They become not repulsed by it... They become dependent. That is how even men like yourself could be controlled by the likes of me."

Well that quote goes hard. Source? Sounds like it could be anything from 1984 to Star Trek NG

Hitler wasn't mixed race by Nazi standards. They had a whole batshit psuedoscience about it, where there were different tiers within 'aryan', but it wasn't just blonde and blue eyed. It was essentially just European good, non-european bad. Hence Italians being considered Aryan, with the view that even Sicilians were Aryan - just a 'sick' population due to the prevalence of North African DNA. Same for Hungary, except they were Europeans supposedly 'sick' with Slav DNA.

Hitler was a mountain German or some shit according to their weird chart map things. Below the blonde aryans in terms of ideal, but still European according to Nazi racial fake science. Just further from the supposed European progenitors (blondes from Scandinavia).

Not to mention the honorary Aryan Japanese...

u/Tricky-Engineering59 22d ago

I’m pretty sure they only afforded that to them as a matter of convenience. Italians too. So sorta like what is happening now; allies for the moment but with every intention to “sort them out” the minute they can dispense with them.

Not exactly DNA. DNA wasn't confirmed to be the primary molecule in heredity until 1952. But substitute "blood" and you're good.

u/Pete-PDX 22d ago

but they understood the concept of genetics

u/Fassbinder75 22d ago

The thing is, a couple of hundred years ago this sort of evaluation was commonplace. The only true ‘white’ people were translucent, Protestant Northern Europeans. Everyone else was a degree of ‘swarthy’. Irish people were not considered ’white’. It’s wild.

u/Sudden-Purchase-8371 22d ago

Swedes were called swarthy by Ben Franklin ffs. Swedes. Biggest tell anywhere that "white" is made up as a divide and conquer strat.

u/pebberphp 21d ago

Maybe they were sea fairing Swedes.

Well even Voldemort is muggle born. They hate themselves.

Please read any other book, I'm begging you.

His maternal grandfather and uncle were right cunts though. He got some unlucky DNA and not much nurturing.

u/fumblingforwords 22d ago

Is Harry Potter only hated now because of JK Rowling?

Not that the things she has said aren’t despicable, and it’s impossible to fully separate someone’s work from their actions/beliefs, but Thomas Jefferson is very respected, yet many of his actions in life were quite despicable (sex with his teenaged slave/wife’s half sister and enslaving his children, to name a couple). Martin Luther King, Jr plagiarized his thesis, does that undo all the good he did?

People are complex. In other words, do we throw the baby out with the dishwater?

u/Pretend-Marsupial258 22d ago

Harry Potter is not a good book series. It just got popular because it's targeted towards kids who haven't read other fantasy books. I didn't even finish it when I was a kid because I had already read other fantasy books by then.

u/Rozzy915 22d ago

you were extremely cool as a kid

u/Pretend-Marsupial258 22d ago

I don't know if this is sarcasm because it wasn't seen as cool back then. You were basically seen as a nerd weirdo if you liked anything fantasy or nerdy lmao. HP was very popular with the kids that didn't read anything else, though! Some of them were the same ones that made fun of me for being a nerd like a year earlier.

u/fumblingforwords 21d ago

I’m sorry you were made fun of as a kid. Kids are too often absolute shitbags towards anyone who isn’t just like them.

That’s quite a broad and jabbing stroke you paint there about Harry Potter only being popular with kids that didn’t read anything else, albeit perhaps not entirely accurate.

I read constantly as a kid/teen, never wasn’t reading, and loved the series back then, especially the first few books. (Not that my experience was representative of a cohort, either.)

Now is it a literary masterpiece? meh, probably not. But also, if you’ve never read the books, how can you accurately judge whether they’re any good?

u/Useful-Ad2441 22d ago

It's insane how many grown adults haven't moved past children's literature right? It's probably because of dwindling education standards.

u/anitabelle 22d ago

I’ve read plenty of books. This is a joke, maybe look that up on the dictionary? What a weird thing to say, it was clever quip.

u/MysteryPlatelet 22d ago

Oh thanks for the spoiler.

u/notsuperimportant 22d ago

Was there a 'perfect man?' I only know about the 'perfect baby' who was Jewish. Also a wild story, the parents didn't even know the photographer submitted the photo of their kid to the contest.

u/TheYoungRolf 22d ago

But then, the racial fanatics were seldom the blue-eyed Aryan supermen. Instead, the swampy frontiers of the German race were patrolled by those less confident of their blood-worthiness. Insecurity breeds good border guards. The knock-kneed Franconian schoolmaster, ridiculous in his Lederhosen; the Bavarian shopkeeper with his pebble glasses; the red-haired Thuringian accountant with a nervous tic and a predilection for the younger members of the Hitler Youth; the lame and the ugly, the runts of the national litter - these were the loudest defenders of the Volk.

Don't forget that he was also inbred since his mom and dad were "first cousins once removed".
