@brivael After a while, the AI writing these posts becomes blatantly noticeable. I'm sure you'll touch structure and wording up when necessary, but the writing is still not the result of a human being.
Should I be wrong, I apologize in advance.
@QuoteNietzsche Apart from the fact that he never said that, look at the logic: in consequence, it means that you should avoid yourself.
How, and what purpose is achieved by trying?
@starkicus@TheAliceSmith Your claim relies on selective similarities while ignoring decisive differences.
Just a few: The Nazis subordinated private enterprise to state-defined national/military goals. Dem. Socs rely primarily on the market and rarely set production quotas or allocate goods centrally.
@starkicus@TheAliceSmith No, unless you want to claim that the Democrats are hyper-nationalists with the intention to sterilize, murder and genocide everyone who isn't "Arier" enough, and have already proven their intent by killing millions with that goal in mind (and not for power or any other desire).
@chico_ray Your summary of the situation surrounding Elif's interview with "Der Spiegel" is spot on. Kudos for presenting the facts correctly - as far as we know them publicly.
@starkicus@TheAliceSmith Who is this "you"?
Your latest post fails to address the topic completely.
Let me just repeat that right-wing movements have frequently embraced paternalistic statism, communitarian solidarity, and economic nationalism, viewing unrestrained free markets as a destructive force.
@starkicus@TheAliceSmith Wrong again. The adaptation of Socialist ideas in the "East" led to authoritarian forms (Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism).
Democratic socialism and social democracy, by contrast, developed and governed in Western Europe (e.g., aspects of Nordic models).
@starkicus@TheAliceSmith You are talking about the Nazis and their position on the political spectrum. So you need to take European meanings into consideration.
You also invariably come to wrong conclusions when you apply modern terminology to practices and ideas of the Nazi era.
@starkicus@TheAliceSmith The "unwanted" were mostly the racially unwanted, see primary sources like the one linked).
German women were heavily discouraged to have an abortion. Since 1943, any medical person involved could face capital punishment.

@starkicus@TheAliceSmith I'm not. Traditional (Burkean et al) conservatives are another strand that favors organic society, tradition, hierarchy, family, religion, and ordered liberty over individualism.
Your outlook is focused on the American experience. Nothing wrong about it - but it's a narrow one.
@starkicus@TheAliceSmith Nice try to redefine right-wing – yet, from a historical perspective, individualism is a core element in only a few currents within this political spectrum: namely, in classical liberalism, economic conservatism, and libertarianism within the Anglo-American context.
@starkicus@TheAliceSmith The Nazi movement was not secular; Hitler considered himself a Christian; healthcare served racial hygiene, and abortions were rejected.
If being right-wing means being nationalist, more importantly being "völkisch" (racist in this context), then the Nazis were its peak.
@starkicus@TheAliceSmith No, Hitler was also not a fascist. He didn't place the state above the individual but the "Volk", which translates, in the case of Nazism, to "Rasse".
@Khaledhzakariah There's a madness to it that can neither be explained rationally nor argued against to change captured minds.
If we don't find something to believe in that is worth fighting for, the fight against Islamisation is already lost.
@ConceptualJames Yes, all those who describe Adolf Hitler as a leftist and the Nazi movement as communist.
Totalitarian systems have many similarities, especially in structure, methods and communication, but that does not make them identical per se - goals, for example, distinguish them.
@luisbaram We are capable of using reason on every subject but fail to either separate this thinking from emotion, needs, and wishes, so they intermingle, or they influence or even overwhelm the result.
What reason is and how far we go on the path to truth with it are separate questions.
