I think maybe this one might be a little more advanced than my usual, but the issue is something I'm curious about, as a sociological issue, and through the prism of my studies.  This won't be an exhaustive explanation, but hopefully my ideas will communicate enough - I tend to keep some vital information in my head at times, which is a ( Read more... )

How can anyone say "it will never happen again" when it has happened again and is happening again? That`s ludicrous.

I mean, look to my birth country, Denmark. This was the only country in Europe where "everyone" helped to get the Jewish Danes into safety and therefor the occupied country with the lowest percentage of Jews being killed. Today that same people - or their children and grandchildren - will gladly send refugees back to a certain death and will breach all kinds of international agreements to avoid foreigners from moving to the country - even those who married a Dane. If my husband hadn`t been Norwegian (Scandinavians and members of the EU can move to Denmark all they like even if Danish politicians may not be crazy about the thought) but say Australian, Asian or African, then he wouldn`t be allowed to move to my home-country. I could never move home and take my family with me.

Why, you ask. Because so many Danes have lulled themselves into thinking that they are some kind of übermenchen. The best way of killing a debate in Denmark is saying "but what you`re saying is un-Danish". Un-Danish is the worst of the worst.

Fun thing? I`ve challenged Danish friends and family to tell me what is really Danish and everything they mention can be found in other countries too. The queen, the flag and the grunts and mumbles that is called the Danish language are the only things that are Danish and Danish only (well, the queen`s mother was Swedish and her father`s family came from Germany - but that`s another discussion :-D) - but is that enough to make you an übermench? I think not though the flag is pretty - and the oldest national flag in the world.

And you`ll find it everywhere in the world. I remember talking to a Greek skin-head some years ago. He spoke ill of Africans and said "We Arians should stick together". I looked at him and told him that if he came to Denmark he would be considered anything but "one of us". He had black hair and brown eyes and would stick out like coal on new-fallen snow (this was back in the 80s - he wouldn`t stick out as much now). He was in shock. How could anyone use the racist-card AGAINST him??

You know I love the Viking age and as much as I love it, I hate the fact that Hitler loved it too. At my Confirmation I got the most beautiful replica of a Viking jewelry - a sun-cross. I wore it for years. Slept with it and cherished it. Then one day I saw that the Nazis also used the sun-cross as and though it wasn`t as used as the swastika, it was used a lot. I took off my sun-cross and never wore it again.

Neo-nazis have cherished the Viking culture too but IMO they`ve misunderstood it entirely. What I love about the Viking culture is how women had a strong and important role. Women had the same burials as men (though when they were dug out the bodies some 100 years ago, archeologists assumed they were men because they were buried with swords - only examinations done the last couple of decades have revealed the truth), they were the ones carrying the keys to the family fortune and they were even warriors. They were no Kirche, Küche und Kinder kind of women like Hitler wanted women to be.

And there are no signs that Vikings looked at themselves as a superior race - race or nationality was not in their terminology as I can see. Yes, nations/countries were built but that was a power game - do you support the king or his cousin, sort of. They raided for financial reasons and made friends and enemies across races and countries. I mean, they went to Constantinople (or Miklagard as they called it) and made friends there and at least one Native-American woman married into a family of Icelandic Vikings and had kids with him.

I agree - but foolishly, people in Western countries often seem to think we've "learnt our lesson" - you can find all kinds of crap waxing lyrical about it.

I would win all the fights in Denmark by *agreeing with people*. Huzzah! :D

Mein Kampf didn't really have much to say about women, other than we were to be pure and upstanding so as to be the vessel for strong German men. Of course, I'm a truly faulty vessel, so I don't think it's possible.

Mr. Minty was telling me that Viking swords are absolute crap - and that they were eager for Frankish steel for their swords - and with that kind of outlook, they certainly didn't think they were the best.

To me it seems like everyone is "agreeing with people" in Denmark so that wouldn`t win you anything. It really bothers me how few voices are heard to speak against this crap that is Danish official policy at the moment.
Oh - and intellectuals are being shunned too. The latest bulletin being that intellectuals a poorer parents.

German women got medals for having plenty of children. I expect they counted fingers and toes on all children before the medals were handed out.

Yeah, but telling them it's an Australian idea, by virtue of the fact that I'm not Danish means I'd win by default.

Of course we are - we're shit at everything except being in our ivory towers and thinking about hoity toity things.

With the addition of DNA, things would become so much easier.

Ah no. They have selective hearing and will only think they inspired the huge country of Australia too with their magnificent and very Danish ideas.

Dammit. What the hell does being Danish have to do with Australia? Pfft. They'd be fooling themselves.
