TIL how German fascists idealized nature and rural life, in contrast to urban living dominated by the Jewish rats.

Really? I thought that nazi glorification of nature and peasant life was kinda common knowledge.

Eisegesis is a cool word.

I think that way about the hydroxylation of proteins too, but sadly I am wrong about that.

There's this weird contradiction in Nazism between "boo cities yay rustic peasant life" and "BUILD ALL THE TANKS".

Not really sure how they planned to resolve that one.

Well, tanks are sort of like armoured tractors with guns.

Eisegesis is a cool word.

Eisegesis (/ˌaɪsəˈdʒiːsəs/; from the Greek preposition εἰς "into" and the ending from the English word exegesis, which in turn is derived from ἐξηγεῖσθαι "to lead out")[1]

Holy pleonasm turkishheldcappadocianareatownname...

That wiki article sucks already from its first line! Exegesis is the same term with the first part replaced (exe-eise). -Egesis is from hegoumai (to lead).

After we reclaim Lebensraum for the master race and purge it of all the slavojewish degeneration Mann Verräterfisch, our control of such important area would make us undefeatable and we will be able to frolic in bucolic utopia as Teutons once did. You know, the same kind of magic that works in the dictatorship of the proletariat.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Yes, and then force all the French and Brits to till the fields.

 

[Algeroth]

That's what Poles were for.

 

[gay_Aleks]

They're Slavic, you know. Therefore, undermencsh.

 

[Takhisis]

Slavs can't even type die glorious Deutschlander tongue properly!

 

[gay_Aleks]

Fortunately, they didn't have to; all they needed was a gun to shoot a German in the face.

 

[Phrossack]

Early post-WWI German tanks were designated as "large tractors" to avoid raising suspicion.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Better than "water tanks", I suppose.

You think the Nazis had a plan to solve any of their myriad dichotomies? These are the same people that claimed to be hardcore German nationalists, but gave Mussolini permission to mistreat Italy's German minority, denounced communism while calling themselves Socialists and nationalising industries, referred to Slavs as untermenschen but counted Slovakia - and originally, Poland - as among their closest allies, and hated Jews but had a close working relationship with various pro-Zionist bodies. They were almost as contradictory as the current Australian government. They approched it in human rights abuses, also.
