How Feminism Caused The Rise Of Nazism
Some time ago I promised to explain this contention of mine. And today -
here you go. I invite the harshest criticism of my thesis. Challenge me
on any and all claims.
Feminists offer a lot of different
explanations for the origin and purpose of their ideology, all of them
wrong. There is, however, a correct answer: Feminism found its origins
in World War I.
Proto-Feminists had existed before the war -
since the beginning of time, really - but they always were (and in their
institutional state today, still are) unnatural perverts and
malcontents who hate women, men, children, and society - prime examples
being the ominous seamstresses in "A Tale of Two Cities", or historical
figures like Jiang Qing or Theodora - crazy women driven by nihilistic
rage. It was the turbulence of World War I and the succeeding triumph of
the social and moral aberration that is Capitalism that allowed
Feminism to finally get a foothold in society.
Something like
eight million Western European men died in the Great War. Many times
that number were crippled, lost a limb, or had what we would now call
very extreme PTSD. Because of this, they could not hold jobs, marry, or
be family men.
In the world of the early 20th century, marriage
was an institution equated with social legitimacy, for both men and
women. To be unmarried was to not be socially respectable. World War I
created a massive deficit in the supply of men, and as a result, tens of
millions of European women found themselves shut out of respectable
society.
There was another serious consequence. Women, like
men, really like having sex. In the society of the time, people were
expected to be monogamous for life. But due to the shortage of eligible
men, tens of millions of European women were also being told they could
never have sex. Ever.
Faced with this impossible situation,
countless women simply said, "No social respectability, AND no cock?
Well... Well... SCREW YOU!!!" And so began the drug- and alcohol-
infused Roaring Twenties. Remember that the war disproportionately
claimed the lives of those fit to fight: able-bodied, law-abiding
members of mainstream society. Those unclaimed, were disproportionately
the physically or mentally infirm, the disreputable, the socially
abberrant. So due to the shortage of cocks, during the 20s, the same few
cocks had to fit many more vaginas. Women, disaffected.with the
impossible demands of society, got knocked up by criminals, lowlives and
even homeless people.
Drugs are mostly illegal today, but they
are also known variables. Weed or meth or cocaine or whatnot are not
strange or mysterious to us; we know what they are and what they do,
whether we do them or think they should be legal or not. In the 20s,
however, drugs flooded into a society completely unaccustomed to them.
The result was madness.
Because all the men were dead, crippled
or insane, women flooded into the workplace. The rise of American
capital and the crushing cost of the war to infrastructure further
depressed the economy and reduced the number of available jobs. With the
flood of women into a much reduced job market, countless men found
themselves unable to get work.
Into this crazy, chaotic world
of women coming home knocked up by homeless people, hordes of demented
men who knew how to do nothing but kill, unemployed masses and the
looming power of the overpowered American economy - with tremendous
natural resources, unfettered by the costs of war - churning out vast
quantities of goods far more cheaply than Europe could hope to (much
like contemporary China) - into this, stepped Adolf Hitler.
The
rise of Hitler is widely misunderstood. It had almost nothing to do
with anti-Semitism or poverty, conditions that had been widespread in
Germany at various times. About a hundred thousand Germans had starved
to death during the war and even after - the embargo against Germany was
not lifted until 1920.
What ultimately was decisive in
Hitler's rise to power was the profound social chaos of 1920s Germany.
Britain and France suffered similar problems, largely overlooked in the
shadow of Hitler. But they also had far greater resources to deal with
them, and had not lost nearly so many men in the war.
We must
understand the enormous impact of a specific bias in the historical
record here. Sex and how it affects human motivations is fundamental to
the human condition, but the people of the time had absolutely no
socially appropriate way of describing its impact on them as individuals
or as a society. There just wasnt the means to come out and talk about
what i just described...so the dialogue was about other things, never
mind the 800kg gorilla in the room - sex-driven social chaos.
This is why this thesis of mine has no place in the historical record -
proof being that in fact there is very little talk of any kind about the
actual social conditions or sex lives of interbellum Westerners.
A key element of the Fascist and Nazi platforms largely overlooked by
historians was the demand for traditional gender roles. Both the
Fascists and Nazis actively forced women out of the workplace, and back
into the home.
It is too easy to conflate this with Nazi
atrocities such as the Holocaust and world domination. To be bigoted is
to refuse to understand - what must be understood here are the social
conditions that drove these policies, and also, that the policies were
largely successful in fixing the problems. Men had jobs, women were
safe, and children were cared for.
And so it was there was
never a Nazi Rosie the Riveter - women never entered the Nazi workforce
for these ideological reasons, even though having men and not women work
kept those men off the front, to the detriment of the Nazi war effort.
The very few exceptions - Leni Riefenstahl and Hanna Reitsch - served to
prove the rule; both had grossly abnormal sex lives and seemed to
direct their sexual affection onto the regime or Hitler personally.
Anyway, after the war, Europe and America settled on different answers
to the question of labor and sex that had been up in the air since the
start of the century. Europe developed democratic socialism, defusing
the gender conflict by externalizing the cost of unemployment and
child-rearing to the state. A decent compromise.
In postwar
America, however, tremendous wealth flowed into the economy, from
exports to Europe, the strong dollar, and the exploitation of the former
colonies. At the same time, automation put huge numbers of men out of
work. America became a nation run by the free market like never before,
with the control valves - the power of labor and scarcity of capital -
removed.
This undermined the man's role of breadwinner and
gradually forced women into the workplace to ensure positive cash flow
and the ability to compete with the spending power of two-wage
households.
Women, however, are physically weaker, less
aggressive, and less technically oriented than men. In an atomized,
everyone-for-themselves society - and the vacillation of the male
breadwinner with the end of monogamy and mass automation - women were
forced head-to-head against men.
The founders of the feminist
movement were sick people - mostly petty criminals and "alley cats" -
mentally ill women too crazy, too histrionic, too out-of-control to
survive in mainstream society. Like street thugs, they lived in packs
and resolved their differences through catfighting. Many of the mores
and institutions of feminism today can be directly traced back to
women's prisons. Women's prisons today are still strongholds of
lesbianism; women who are inclined to become bona fide lesbians are
invariably people basically hostile to civil society.
They
were also all white. The feminists were, and are, overwhelmingly white,
middle-class Anglo-American, because the reality is that the most
fundamental social divisor is not gender, but economic class, followed
by race/nationality, followed by physical/mental/emotional strength, and
then, possibly, by gender. It is so, and it has always been so. A rich
woman has infinitely more power than a poor man, even if the fortune is
in her husband's name. A white woman has more power than a black man. A
smart, or educated, or strong, or attractive, or pious, or willful
woman, has more power and credibility, is more employable, than a man
lacking in those qualities.
So feminists claimed to speak for
all women. But really they spoke for only a very few: Anglo-American
white women from middle-class backgrounds, unwilling to accept the lot
in life of a poor or black woman or man. Only a small minority of
English-speaming women, and probably not even 1% of women worldwide.
After failed attempts at making waves through terrorist attacks
(blowing up shoe stores) and pseudo-Marxism, in the late 60s the
feminists hit on the idea of enlisting more white women in the service
of their cause by way of a simple stratagem:
They would promise white women the moon.
Feminists voted themselves into academia and systematically spun a web
of lies about oppression of women, with one target audience: other, more
mainstream, white middle class Anglo-American women who wanted more
stuff in life. They created a perverse system of incentives to enrich
themselves through the destruction of men, through "family law",
harassment/discrimination suits, breast cancer research (a giant
moneymaking scam) and various forms of rackeetering involving
"consulting services".
Planned Parenthood makes headlines for
"killing babies", but the true dark secret of the organization and many
like it is that its spending on medical care versus administration and
publicity is worse than any other public or private medical service
provider. Planned Parenthood doesnt make its money by killing babies, it
does it by billing governments and individuals outrageous fees for
services then pocketing most of it. This can be easily verified by
browsing PP's financial statements, which, per US law, are in the public
domain.
Feminism is what it has always been: a sort of cult
with a few "in the know" hardcore constituents and a wider cadre of
individuals somehow sucked into the movement by way of its sales of moon
pie. It is a scam that will come undone as it loses credibility and its
inability to construct a viable social model becomes apparent.
I lay the blame for this not on women, but on the evil that is
Capitalism, how it forces people and classes into conflict rather than
cooperation and degrades man to an economic object rather than a moral
being. Feminism is a pillar of capitalism, feeding on the blood money of
fiat dollars and Chinese imports, to keep the corrupt and evil system
going through patronage.
Feminists like to claim that women
have skyrocketing rates of employment in business and law because women
are "empowered". In reality, the truth is the opposite. Institutions
today prefer to hire women because they are easily controlled. A
fundamental difference between men and women is that the male world view
is fundamentally cosmic while the female world view is fundamentally
social.
Men compare themselves against everything and
anything, ("because it is there"), while women define themselves through
the social matrix. This is also why women instinctively resort to the
insult "creepy" - it is a denial of that which they most prize, social
legitimacy. It is also for this reason that there have been only a few
female scientists and leaders - and absolutely no female philosophers or
explorers. (Ayn Rand and Sacajawea are the exceptions that prove the
rule).
And it is for this reason, our Capitalist status quo
finds as its most ardent defenders those who build their entire reality
around whatever the status quo may be. Feminism, in the final analysis,
is properly understood as the ultimate front for Capitalist tyranny.
Interesting thesis, I wondered about the Nazi's being so revered by the Germans during that time. I have been taught that they were brainwashed, influenced by some kind of evil hypnosis, or so dirt poor that they would follow anyone who gave them false hope. To then find that they valued temperance, healthy food, exercise, strong work force, and non disrespect of history and tradition (not sure why that is popular now). I also wondered about and would like your insight about the Nietzsche influence on Nazi ideology and he being their go to philosopher; how do they draw the anti-Semitic ideas from him? From what I've read, Nietzsche was far more disparaging to the German drunks and priests (or properly termed decadence) than he was to the Jews, not that I can recall him ever demonstrating hate(nor distinct praise) towards Jews, rather he had some respect for their intellectual and educational inclinations.

ReplyDeleteSo the durability of the values that helped propel them upwards would eventually break down, without organized infrastructure, and people would still hold onto the superiority complex even though their behavior is counter to those values. Possibly that stubbornness will only intensify into bigotry and unfound or unmerited self perception.
ReplyDeleteIs that like feminism?
ReplyDeleteYou're making it too complex. Nazism always was an organized hypocrisy. The Nazis were street thugs, plain and simple. You can't build a moral system on blatant fallacies like "Aryan superiority" and "Hitler can do no wrong".
