It was one of the main Nazi beliefs that served as an ideological justification for the German invasion of the Soviet Union and the Holocaust. After the Russian Revolution, the antisemitic canard was the title of the pamphlet The Jewish Bolshevism, which featured in the racist propaganda of the anti-communist White movement forces during the Russian Civil War (1918–1922). During the 1930s, the Nazi Party in Germany and the German American Bund in the United States propagated the antisemitic theory to their followers, sympathisers, and fellow travellers. Nazi Germany used the trope to implement anti-Slavic policies and initiate racial war against Soviet Union, portraying Slavs as inferior humans controlled by Jews to destroy Aryan people.

I just decided it had been 3 decades since I have been drinking coffee daily and wanted to know my baseline. The headache and backache is probably the worst of coming off caffeine but not terrible. I might slowly re-add caffeine at some point. I’ve started slowly eating beef again after 13 years. I had pot roast twice since the prime rib on Valentine’s Day. So far I haven’t noticed any negative consequences from eating beef and have noticed some benefits. I also eat a lot of fruit. Strawberries, blueberries in my Greek yogurt with granola in the morning. It’s my new favorite thing. Same thing as the waffle bowl.. minus the waffle. So looking forward to spring. I was out in my garden earlier. The daylilies you can see in this image and springing up. Good morning. Quoting: Seer777 I made blackberry syrup for my blackberry cobbler yesterday evening. By God it was glorious. https://imgur.com/a/z43qJUQ I had honey cake yesterday (with additional honey drizzled over) and for the first time ever tried a dollop of Greek Yoghurt along with it. It was really good. Instead of doubling up on sweet with cream or iced cream, it was near palate cleansing in it's contrasting flavour whilst still having that cool refreshing temperature and texture. Super nom nom. Some out of 10, recommend. Sounds yummy. Similar to my Jamba inspired waffle bowl.

About 48 minutes in. Today I learned that the NAZIS were following America’s lead when it came to their brutal practice of Eugenics and where that led after an authoritarian got ahold of the concept. Largely debunked today. Central to Nazism were themes of racial segregation expressed in the idea of a "people's community". The party aimed to unite "racially desirable" Germans as national comrades while excluding those deemed to be either political dissidents, physically or intellectually inferior, or of a foreign race. The Nazis sought to strengthen the Germanic people, the "Aryan master race", through racial purity and eugenics, broad social welfare programs, and a collective subordination of individual rights, which could be sacrificed for the good of the state on behalf of the people…to protect the supposed purity and strength of the Aryan race, the Nazis sought to disenfranchise, segregate, and eventually exterminate Jews, Romani, Slavs, the physically and mentally disabled, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, and political opponents. The persecution reached its climax when the party-controlled German state set in motion the Final Solution – an industrial system of genocide that carried out mass murders of around 6 million Jews and millions of other targeted victims in what has become known as the Holocaust.

Seer777 (OP) Ride the wings of the mind User ID: 86858653 United States 03/10/2024 10:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Men and women were compulsorily sterilized for different reasons. Men were sterilized to treat their aggression and to eliminate their criminal behavior, while women were sterilized to control the results of their sexuality. Since women bore children, eugenicists held women more accountable than men for the reproduction of the less "desirable" members of society. Eugenicists therefore predominantly targeted women in their efforts to regulate the birth rate, to "protect" white racial health, and weed out the "defectives" of society. The most significant era of eugenic sterilization was between 1907 and 1963, when over 64,000 individuals were forcibly sterilized under eugenic legislation in the United States. Beginning around 1930, there was a steady increase in the percentage of women sterilized, and in a few states only young women were sterilized. A 1937 Fortune magazine poll found that 2/3 of respondents supported eugenic sterilization of "mental defectives", 63% supported sterilization of criminals, and only 15% opposed both. From 1930 to the 1960s, sterilizations were performed on many more institutionalized women than men. By 1961, 61 percent of the 62,162 total eugenic sterilizations in the United States were performed on women. A favorable report on the results of sterilization in California, the state that conducted the most sterilizations (20,000 of the 60,000 that occurred between 1909 and 1960), was published in 1929 in book form by the biologist Paul Popenoe and was widely cited by the Nazi government as evidence that wide-reaching sterilization programs were feasible and humane.

In 1883, Galton first used the word eugenics to describe scientifically, the biological improvement of genes in human races and the concept of being "well-born". He believed that differences in a person's ability were acquired primarily through genetics and that eugenics could be implemented through selective breeding in order for the human race to improve in its overall quality, therefore allowing for humans to direct their own evolution. In the US, eugenics was largely supported after the discovery of Mendel's law lead to a widespread interest in the idea of breeding for specific traits.Galton studied the upper classes of Britain, and arrived at the conclusion that their social positions could be attributed to a superior genetic makeup. American eugenicists tended to believe in the genetic superiority of Nordic, Germanic, and Anglo-Saxon peoples, supported strict immigration and anti-miscegenation laws, and supported the forcible sterilization of the poor, disabled and "immoral.

Quoting: Seer777 Probably a lot lower. As Luis M. Casas points out, it is not about the people killed, but the technology developed to save lives. Penicillin was discovered in 1928, but it took WWII to bring it into mass production, as early as 1942. If it were not for WWII, the development of liquid powered rockets probably would not have developed much beyond hobbyists’ tinkerings, and we would not have had the space race, and the technology that developed from that. Weather and communication satellites might still be a thing of the future. For all the ills of the Cold War, that followed WWII, there were a lot of benefits too. How many people are saved by space based weather early warning systems? GPS? Internet? (yeah, the internet is a Cold War invention, developed under DARPA) Or jet engines? Another pre-war invention, spurred on by the necessities of war. Or electronic computers? Or helicopters? Or something as simple as plastic? There was a huge amount of research done during WWII, to find a synthetic replacement for rubber, used in tires, which lead to many off shoots, to include Silly Putty. (yeah I know, not much of a life saver, but it is fun, and it shows the extent of invention) And then there are the medical procedures that are developed in crucible of battle. If the patient is going to die anyway, why not try something new, and if it works, great, if not… well. you tried. Not exactly something that can be done in peace time, without a lawsuit…. Not saying these things would not exist, but just how advanced would they be? War is an incredible technological multiplier.
