Old Scratch -
You'll find that it's actually "Brevity is the
soul of wit" (Hamlet II, II). :icon_wink: Perhaps You meant to say "Brevity is the essence of wisdom"? Sorry for coming across as a stickler. 'Tis not my intention to cast aspersions - let's just say that Shakespeare is one of my areas of expertise. Look at it this way: the slight discrepancy conclusively proves that You didn't google it up. :icon_wink: :thumb:
I generally explain things in minute detail for the express benefit of those lurkers and first-time visitors I spoke of in my last post. Everything I write here is intended as an "advertisement" for the pro-White school of thought. After all, not everyone who reads our materials views them as self-evident truths and the site's overall aim is to "convert" brainwashed and ambivalent Whites...
In such a context, a more fastidious explanation may facilitate comprehension of the pith.
Brevis esse laboro, obscurus fio can be quite apt, you know...

How about adding something to the discussion by outlining a few
facts because statements such as "
Anything, and anybody that Hollywood demonizes is probably righteous" aren't too independently compelling, are they? But what would an idiot like me know anyway...

I say, this chap must surely be in the running for some sort of Post Of The Thread award (sponsored by ACME - Purveyors Of Shockingly Substandard Bovine Manure, By Special Appointment To The Guild Of Dill Pickers, Third Class)...
Please elaborate upon the highlighted portion of your gold-medal winning post. Go ahead, don't be shy - I'm genuinely ****ing fascinated...

Come now, You are well aware that Your assumption is correct. Do You truly believe I'm exhibiting four feathers' worth of intellectual cowardice and merely subscribing to a "totalitarian commandment from on high"?
There are possibly more myths - both positive and negative, depending on viewpoint - surrounding "Nazi Germany" than any other subject. It's also safe to say that quite a substantial segment of the pro-White "subculture" has inverted society's anathematisation of Hitler and the NSDAP. Such pro-Whites have placed both the man and the party upon a dais of veneration and consequently view criticism of Nazi Germany as a form of ideological blasphemy which betokens either perniciously intransigent national prejudice (which, I'm sure, a number of our members doubtlessly ascribe to me... :icon_wink
, woeful gullibility, or plain stupidity. In other words, the so-called "closed minds" certain posters have delighted in mocking within this very thread.
I've been pro-White for my entire life. I was repeatedly disciplined in both primary and high school for using the N word and other "inappropriate and racist" terms (in secondary school, I was commonly referred to as "The KKK Man") in addition to constantly drawing attention to the intellectual inferiority of Negroes, Aboriginals, and the other "non-civilised" peoples; I've been expelled from a university residential college for evincing "racist attitudes" and my initial professional career was - in part - derailed for similar reasons. Nevertheless, almost every time I have put in an appearance at a "White Nationalist" organisation or posted on a "White Nationalist" forum and revealed that I'm not a fan of Hitler or Nazism my pro-White "credentials" (and, quite often,
my racial pedigree itself) has immediately been impugned by many who believe that Hitler is the be all and end all of pro-White thought.
During the course of the Second World War my Polish family experienced the "humanity" of both the German and Soviet occupations. Hailing from Wolyn (that's Volhynia to English speakers) they were also on the receiving end of a "bonus" which remains virtually unknown in the west: the
Rzez wolynska, or "Volhynian Slaughter" of 1943-1944 during which Ukrainian "nationalists" savagely butchered
a minimum of 60,000-80,000 civilians. And when I say "savagely", that's an eiderdown euphemism. But, of course, as the victims weren't Jews, Germans, or Russians such trifling details are immaterial to academia or to anyone else - apart from the Poles themselves, that is...
I don't wish to appear presumptuous but unlike the families of probably all of our other members - to whom these events are dispassionately distant subjects of speculation and amateur study -
my family actually experienced the "excesses" of both the Nazis
and the Soviets
first hand. In fact, my family experienced those "excesses" to such a degree that it was eventually reduced to just
two people, viz. my mother and uncle, who were but children at the time. Sure, a number of my erstwhile kin were professional military men who perished on the battlefield. But can You or anyone else reading this hazard a guess as to
why I definitely know the Germans systematically murdered unarmed Polish civilians? :lightbulb:
Pro-Whites enthusiastically remind everyone that the Soviets committed atrocities en masse yet most refuse to admit (or, more accurately,
believe) that the Germans were unleashing a similar kind of terror in occupied Poland. The evidence in both cases is equally abundant yet only the Soviet actions are ever spoken of.
I've raised the subject of
Generalplan Ost, the
Intelligenzaktion and its constituent
Sonderaktion operations twice already in this thread but have yet to hear anyone's opinion. Nobody has even bothered to attempt to
deny that the likes of Operation Tannenberg took place. Plenty of courage on show there...
The narratives of "revisionist" encomiasts are characterised by a scrupulous avoidance of
any admission of German wrongdoing - however minor. Hitler embodied unalloyed selfless good and anyone who opposed him is painted as either evil or stupidly shortsighted (generally both) and directly responsible for scuppering the birdsong-filled utopia which a German victory would have ushered in.
In much of the White Nationalist world Poles are often as besmirched as the "Nazis" are in the "mainstream". Why? Because they failed to acquiesce to Hitler's every demand and had the temerity to defend their land. No, that's not quite correct: the Poles
attacked Germany in what must have been a continuation of their age-old policy of western expansion - a
Drang nach Westen, maybe...
At this juncture, I may as well ask everyone a few questions: how much "German" territory (please refer to my initial post) should Poland have "returned" to "the Reich"? In fact, should an independent Poland have even been permitted to exist at all? If so, where exactly should the Polish-German borders have been demarcated?
Following a notional formal incorporation of Gdansk (Danzig) into Germany, what was to come next? An extraterritorial railway and highway through the "Polish Corridor" (complete with conspicuously convenient conflict triggers)? A plebiscite to determine the future of the "Corridor", the proposed terms of which Hitler blatantly skewed to ensure an artificially high German vote? Even if the "Corridor"
had been surrendered to Germany do You honestly believe Hitler would have stopped there? After all, he was concurrently demanding a revision of frontiers in Upper Silesia. The pre-1914 German state had included the Province of Poznan, so should the Poles have shrugged their shoulders and also meekly relinquished the whole of Greater Poland, which included the cradle of their nation-state (yet again, please refer to my original post)? Most importantly, should the Poles of all of these areas have willingly returned to German rule under which they had always been officially treated as second-class citizens - or, more precisely, an
alien people whose limited civic rights were tied to the acceptance of compulsory Germanisation? Perhaps they should have simply abandoned those lands - which their people had continuously inhabited for approximately one and a half millennia - thus sparing Germany the time and effort of the post-September 1939 mass expulsions?
Look, at this point I've bloody well had enough of all of this. :frusty: As I've said countless times before, I don't wish to argue with fellow White Nationalists. Everyone is here for the same broad reasons, which are infinitely more important than endless bickering over a past being rapidly overshadowed by the looming threats of the present.
Let's face it: I'm fairly certain that I won't convince Thrashen, Old Scratch, werewolf, Kaptain or anyone else who is pro-Hitler / pro-Nazi of my point of view - nor are they going to change
my mind on the subject. That's just how it goes. Everyone states their arguments, (hopefully) reads the counter-arguments and (hopefully) increases their overall knowledge of the topic at hand. I'd like to believe that what we have in common as "racially aware" White men far outweighs our differences.
Just as a final little aside, some here may be surprised to learn that my two best friends are half-Ukrainian and sport an unambiguously German surname. Life sure is interesting, is it not... :icon_wink:
