The ‘Jewish’ supremacist origin of Nazism, pt. 1: lazy overview
Who would’ve ever imagined that Jewish “chosen people” dogma was the basis for Nazi racial ideology? What a confused, bizarre world this is.
Don’t even think about calling me “antisemitic.” This is simply to demonstrate the irony of Nazis hating Jews when their own ideology comes from the Jews.
As succinctly put in 1933 by the great Gilbert Keith “G. K.” Chesterton:12
Hitlerism is almost entirely of Jewish origin. This truth, if inscribed in the noble old German lettering on a large banner and lifted in sight of an excited mob in a modern German town, might or might not have the soothing effect which I desire. This simple historical explanation, if written on a post-card or a telegraph-form, and addressed to Herr Hitler's private address, might or might not cause him to pause in his political career, and reconsider all human history in the light of the blazing illumination, with which I have furnished him in these words. Finally, these words, placed even where they stand at the beginning of this paragraph, may not be wholly comprehended or connected with their true historical origins; but they are none the less strictly historical.
…
…what I frankly and flatly deny, in history as a whole, is that any Nordic Men ever brought anything in the way of an idea into the world. The Germans came in due course to describe their piracy as imperialism; but they borrowed their idea of imperialism from the Romans. They produced a sort of Prussianism that was praised or blamed as militarism, but they borrowed the idea of militarism from the French. The German Emperors modelled themselves on the Austrian Emperors, who modelled themselves on the Greek Emperors and the Roman Emperors. The greatest of Prussians did not even conceal his contempt for Prussia. He refused to talk anything but French, or to exchange ideas with anyone, except somebody of the type of Voltaire. Then came the liberal ideas of the French Revolution, and the whole movement of German Unity was originally a liberal movement on the lines of the French Revolution. Then came the more modern and much more mortally dangerous idea of Race; which the Germans borrowed from a Frenchman named Gobineau. And on top of that idea of Race, came the grand, imperial and insane idea of a Chosen Race, of a sacred seed that is, as the Kaiser said, the salt of the earth; of a people that is God’s favorite and guided by him in a sense which he does not guide other and lesser peoples. And if anybody asks where anybody got that idea, there is only one possible or conceivable answer. He got it from the Jews.
…
…it is true that it all began with the power of the Jews; which has now ended with the persecution of the Jews. People like the Hitlerites never had any ideas of their own; they got this idea indirectly through the Protestants, that is primarily through the Prussians; but they got it originally from the Jews.
