they also burned Rotterdam
people are bitching about that to this very day
and warszaw and exeter and cantenbury
et cetera
Nazisms problem was that they thought everything can be engineered
Which is so typically German
Like, we will wipe out everything nadcompletely shake society to it's foundations
and afterwards we will just do beep bop beep and voila, it will be fixed
And to an extent, Hitler and his circle were *consciouslly* calculative about this
They were perfectly aware that they are producing a population that will be artificially engineered for max conformism by wiping out the sense of all of their pre-existing values
like Church, traditional mores, etc
all of these things that were not specifically Nazi were made to be as irrelevant as possible
Christianity is part of the dalitry though
But Hitler was fine with that, he had only the goal in mind, and how are Germans going to reach that goal, which means, in what shape, he absolutely cared not to think about
That was not arbitrary
This is why Hitler came up with Lebensborn program
The top guys did hardcore Hinduism
Which purposefully undermined all traditional mores in order to produce population that would be 100% conformed to power
That's why they used a Hindu symbol but tipped on am angle specifically to be incompatible with the Christian cross
None of this stuff was arbitrary if you know what you're looking at
Swastika was discovered by Volkisch circles in Central and Easern Europe as early as late 19th century
It was used by Slavic volkisch circles as well
I mean "discoverd" in sense of "became popular"
Russian Empress had it as her own personal symbol
NAZISM WAS TOO MODERNISTIC
coincidentally, Russian Empress was ethnic German too
Nazim was too conformist
Musolini's modernism was less conformist
CONFORMITY ARISES FROM IDEOLOGY
WE NEED ARISTOCRACY
NO DICTATOR CAN DO WHAT IT DOES
Musolini however, despite being a dictator, still acted basically as a regent for Italian king
FASCISM MADE MORE SENSE ECONOMICALLY AS WELL
UNFORTUNATELY, ITALY WILL TAKE MANY GENERATIONS TO HEAL
AGAIN MODERN METHODS CANNOT WORK
TOO BAD AS THEY HAD AWESOME UNIFORMS
Fascism in Italy was more organic
people were pleased with it
Italy, unlike Germany, considered it a sane policy to establish a colonial empire of her own, which Hitler considered a folly
Hitler considered that the only path for Germany is to acquire land in the east, and completely ridiculed colonialism in Mein Kampf as a waste of time
In all honesty, British were superior
