This is not a hate site, though it talks about the hate of others for what and who we are. We love all human life. And we are prepared to love all people, in the womb and out. This site is dedicated foremost to saving lives, even the lives of sworn enemies. This is a site about Life, and for Law that protects Life. It is a site against tyranny, and against totalitarian Law that enables and enhances tyranny by force, religion, or propaganda. It is a site for the Innocent. Will our observations change minds? Only if those minds are open to be changed.
If some of those people are out to cause us or our other loved ones harm, tyranny, and even death, then we must love them but also be prepared to resist, defend, and even fight the good fight. We need to warn any adversary who is still listening to reason, to change their ways and minds. We then need to tell and warn others as well.
When America began a war on terror, it was not about foremost about revenge but about preventing more. It was and is not a war on Muslims but on an extreme Islam that enslaves its own and insists on a Sharia code of behavior that is not only wholly incompatible with Western standards but a brutal mediaeval system that is a tyranny over their own civilization.
Systems of tyranny tend to put the blame for tyrannical behavior on specific leaders (Hitler or Stalin or Pol Pot), but this is a bit of a cop-out: at the very least there are groups of leaders (devoted Nazis, communists, Khmer Rouge) influenced by another group of so-called thinkers (Heidegger, Marx, Mao), and ultimately, a very large group of the general populace, willing to serve the leader with often blind ambition or a sense of desperate self-preservation. Education through effective propaganda has something to do with gathering more of the population to the Tyrant’s side. When combined with religion and belief in an afterlife that makes the present life worth sacrificing, a non-religious ideology can metastasize into a fanatic and almost unstoppable force that can easily end up on the side of evil rather than good.
Most of the people who are dedicated to undermining or overwhelming Judeo-Christian civilization, as Hitler completely hijacked everything, are not evil, nor to be hated, as most Germans were not evil or to be hated, and most Muslims are probably desirous of a peaceful life. However, all of these people are guilty by voluntary association, none of them are innocent. Supporters of Lebensraum or of a Caliphate are supporters of taking what is not theirs, by power or by demographics or religious persuasion. Forced redistribution of land, assets, or human rights are simply theft of property and life. As Americans believe in a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (happiness substituted for “property” used originally) as a result of the sum total of Western thought and laws, so any estrangement of that right is a “taking.” That simple concept of taking what is not yours is known to all who cooperate willingly in the pursuit of tyranny of any kind, and followers and members of groups cannot be excused as innocent.
The leaders do of course carry much of the credit/blame, and the Nuremberg trials were something of a mass-blame event, publicly punishing the leaders for the atrocities and the Holocaust. It was Hans Calmeyer’s great frustration and regret that the Trials did not reach down into the layers below the top who were in fact the evil-doers and had implemented and carried out the atrocities ordered from the top. Hans, the Hans im Glueck who saw only the best in people and remained constantly cheerful, was faced with evil, and could not understand how society would allow such evil to remain in leadership positions throughout post-war Germany. It was as if America had allowed all of Saddam’s military to become the new policeforce of Iraq (as many argued would have been wiser than Bush’d attempt to create a clean slate). The point is, the followers DO carry the blame, perhaps MOST of the blame, and it is THEY who must ultimately resist, defend, or even fight the good fight against their own evil leaders and creeds.
In Hitler’s case, he had around him some of the highest IQ people (Hitler’s own IQ was never tested). Hans Calmeyer worked for one of those genius advisors, Seiss-Inquart, who was considered a genius and had an IQ high in the very top percentile. But Hitler himself combined some of the major ideas of his day (Social Darwinism, nationalism, socialism, capitalism, etc.) into a workable ideology, and that is a special skill. Hitler was received as a genius by his team:
