Written by We had a blog on Canva before. It was written close after the effect of “The Stellar” TTRPG that we created took its toll as well as life circumstances of Founder, Aleya Jobson. It may be peppered with opinion and some ill-effects of the writing process and reflect a perturbed mental state. That said, there’s still some good and useful stuff in there.

A Nazi’s World – 27.05.2024
Let us nip something in the bud from the beginning. I do not think the world to be grim and gloomy and negative. With this title I merely mean to say that well-meaning people have tried to accommodate Nazis in the post World War 2 world and as a result the world we inhabit belongs as much to white/Saxon supremacists as it does to a Martin Luther King Jr.
The melange is in question, just as one might ask should the plastic wrapping be thrown in the blender with the plants for our breakfast smoothie?
What are the vestiges of Nazism that remain in our daily practice that should be removed lest we incur the same mentality of this unfortunate and pervasive meme in human organization and society?
The Beginning of the Rationale
Jesus is a historical figure who has impacted human organization greatly. His derivative memes were challenged by Friedrich Nietzsche who stated that Jesus espoused a Slave Morality and such people were merely jealous of the ‘masters’, society’s ‘winners.’ He also spoke about Nihilism, a system of belief based on disbelief, nothing having inherent meaning until a moral arbiter decides. In my opinion based upon reason, morality, ethics is about survival. Nietzsche wrote a survival guide.
I am wary of Nietzsche supporters for this reason.
He criticized the Christ through direct opposition of the mentality. He was against Christ. He was anti-Christ. Simple logical deduction that can be represented mathematically and in a logical proof.
Hitler (or, rather, Hiedler, the family’s original name) used Nietzsche as a type of Bible and carried the philosophy out to its logical conclusion; if morality is based upon what you can get away with through brute force, ‘strength’ and ‘willpower’ (easy to summon the energy for willpower while hoarding all wealth needed to feed/fuel oneself through bizarre ill-calculated economies of Capital that Jesus was against btws, Nietzsche seems to be on the side of the ‘winners’ of capitalism.); then anything is permissable if you can get away with it.
It starts simple enough: befriend outcasts. But tell them they belong on top because of ‘strong blood’ rather than, as Jesus did, say you deserve empathy when downtrodden.
It is one thing to champion the downtrodden; another to form a gang with crude blood-based politics. The invitation to Jesus’ blood and body instead becomes blood-purity laws by force.
This line of argument does not seek to excuse Christians for their own wretched history of excusing slavery and discrimination despite their doctrine’s logical setup advocating empathy first and humility second.
It is simply to draw parallels.
6 million Jews were killed during the Holocaust. 6 million jobs were purportedly created under the Fuhrer – the fury – anger elemental – Hitler, 6 letter name, and what was the third 6? Maybe offspring from the anger elemental, Ã la Genghis Khan.
Speculation. Unnecessary but entertaining. There could be 6 or 6 million Hitler youth, literally. The regime lied about so much it is impossible to know the truth of everything that was hidden as a state secret. But it is not my interest to speculate.
Speculation aside, this is the basis for the conversation. Consciously or not, Nietzsche was persuasive and enticing. Who wouldn’t want to be freed from the shackles of obligation and philanthropy when permitted to amass inhuman levels of power. Who wouldn’t want to get rid of begging and pleading to an Abrahamic diety in the sky who once used animal blood as a wishing well for his ‘chosen’ through ritual sacrifice?
The Nazis also did ritual sacrifice of the Jewish people, and Hiedler had an obsession with Christian artifacts, taking the spear that pierced the historical Jesus’ side and recreating a Holy Grail for the Reich to be deified by.
Jealousy of the chosen, ruling over Germans, the strength was with the religious in Germany in Hiedler’s day. Blood meant something to the Jews, to the Christians, to the Nietzsche followers too… For masters usually had ‘white blood’ (it’s all red, actually) in the post-Atlantic Trade era.
Blood: popular because of meat eating, an obsession on your dinner plate, we do this to chicken and cows… Where is the line? Blood… How do we deal with blood.
One could almost say blood purists just don’t want to be eaten, so they love-bomb those nearest to them of same blood and deride clearly different blood to alert possible predators of who is ok to eat and who is not. If anything goes and you just have to be strong… You might get eaten because it is a predator-morality that Nietzsche champions.
That’s kinda funny, the cannibal thing, I just thought of that aspect of it.
So. The Unterbang (underlying fear and terror under patriarchal, specie-ist capitalism) pronounces itself.
And in that the response and backlash is ‘you’re evil. You’re a devil. You’re sick.’ The retort to THAT is to embrace the 6 because it liberates from shackles of obligation under an all-seeing and often disapproving God eye. Big Brother on a cosmic level. Uncomfortable to say the least. When people try everything Christians might try out an anti-Christ figure to see if that helps the situation. Irrational, unsuccessful but something tried and hopefully learned from, what not to do, never forget.
Germ-many
There is also the name. I have taken up thinking that at one point the Brits were naming their neighbouring nations in English and that family of interrelated aristocracy had a family fued, picking on the Saxons. “Germany,” they said. “Nein,” the German cousin replied. “Wir sind Deutschland. We are Deutsch-land.”
“Geeeeermany,” the Brit teases.
“Deutschland! Wir sind Deutsch! Not germs and not many of them, we are clean!”
The psychology is boringly simple and obvious.
So anyway, what have we gotten out of the Nazis that we should probably let go of, getting back to the blog post’s title?
That will be the next installment.
Lots of love,
Aleya
