In 2016 and the years to come, unless someone comes in from outside, there will be no serious resistance against what is happening in Germany right now.

Respectfully, you're wrong and need to read and research WWII more.
You're also over-estimating people in general, and under-estimating techniques of mass-control.
You aren't even "you", but a product of your environment and information to a large degree. You're only the hardware.
It seems like you guys need a convenient scapegoat, and are rationalizing that scapegoat in lieu of a rational view of history and what it means to be human and a large human population.
Besides they aren't close to being the worst in Europe. Not even the bottom five in terms of being cucked if we look at how people operate in their everyday lives.

Therein lies the problem. The Third Reich was revolutionary because fascism, like Jacobinism and Bolshevism, is a utopian-revolutionary ideology that opposes tradition, not a conservative philosophy that defends tradition. That is precisely why that regime was not in the interests of Germany, and resulted in her utter ruin, a ruin invited by unhinged policy and a scorn for traditional governance.

The idea that an Austrian is significantly genetically different from a German is ridiculous hogwash. Bad premise.

I invalidated that logic, in finality, when I brought up the case of the Romanovs. If one does not hold the Russians to have a strength of character for executing them, than this pseudo-test of personality is logically invalid.
I'm not going to entertain a rhetorical strategy that shifts the argument because you are losing the argument at-hand.
Quote:And take that basic neoreaction bullshit elsewhere. It's the definition of ridiculous. "Tradition" has zero political meaning, and thus it is a dead political end if that is your sole point of political reference. It's on par with objectivism; and maybe worse because at least Rand defined her empty politics.
You would have done better to make a pure argument between utopianism and non-utopianism, instead of evoking a nebulous "traditionalism", because at least that would have anchored a political reference point for yourself.
And I would have, in turn, blown this discussion wide open and made everyone uncomfortable talking about the utopianism that no one wants to talk about, and compared it to what you are referring to. Thus, showing you that the Fascism is not actually utopianism. Utopianism deals in an ideal that may have never been, and fascism deals in the observable world. But I'm not here to argue the merits of political systems. As I said, you're going way off-topic.

Tons of Nordic Euros share this trait. It's why in America you have Minnesota voting for cucked politics despite it formerly being 99.99% White. It's why Sweden votes cuck despite not being occupied after WW2.
Germany has it the worst politically, no doubt, but they still aren't as cucked as Sweden. So these counter-examples show that the naive trust most likely has a large genetic component.

The premise that I question, and which is perfectly relevant to the wider subject, is the idea that WWI (and WWII if I'm reading your posts correctly) were in the interests of Germany, which seems an indefensible assertion given that history shows both wars to be disastrous and unwise in the extreme. I note that you've neglected to attempt such a defense here.
Quote:Tradition has zero political meaning?
Quote:That would be the standard assumption for a revolutionary, denying the centrality of tradition is always high on the list of those who wish to tear down everything in order to pursue their grand schemes.
Quote:To a conservative, however, tradition is political meaning: the objective of conservative politics is the maintenance of what is received and the insurance of what is to be given.
Quote:As Burke wrote, it is the continuity of inherited rights that binds a community and society,

Quote:This, of course, is not nebulous, rather contextual, and therefore varies in application from society to society,
Quote:which is anathema to universalist politics. The fact that you confuse contextual principles for nebulousness speaks volumes.
Quote:The fact that the Third Reich had, by its end, alienated virtually every single pillar of traditional German society (the church, the nobility, the military leadership) is all the more reason to conclude that the regime was never Germany's champion, but rather used Germany as a tool for its own ends.
Quote:This inversion of the national interest is a hallmark of utopian ideologies.
Quote:Additionally, radicals always claim "rational" grounds for their lofty ideas (Jacobins with their "natural law" and Marxists with their "historical materialism)...yet in every case, this proves an empty boast, and as in Berlin 1945, as in Paris 1794, as in Moscow 1991, these visions are exposed as the nightmares they always were at their bitter and ignominious end. If you wish to deal in the observable world, those would be important observations to begin with.

Thats not true. Austrians have seen themselves as Germans, like Saxons, Prussians or Bavarians. The Austrian identity as we know today just did start after the second world war. Before there wasn't an Austrian identity. Habsburg did rule over Germany for long time. For the modern Austrian identity you can blame the Allied Forces and of course it was then easy for the people there to say, we had be occupied and are not guilty. This is some kind of their deny identity today. Even that many Nazis in high positions had be from Austrian origin.

That's absolutely false, and I say that as a believer in genetic determinism. Not even the staunchest HBD believers would argue that environment has little impact on who we turn out to be. Everything from language exposure, to caloric intake, to trauma influences our brain development.
You've taken one statement of my argument out of context, while ignoring the parts that you don't contend with, simply to argue with me. Over and over again, I made statements that point to the genetic origin of the character of Germans. Don't make essentialist arguments just to make yourself heard on the thread, because I'm already juggling multiple conversations here.

No shit, except for the bolded part. Understand this: there is hardware and software. Hardware determines how the software runs, but all of the hardware, no matter how good or bad, also depends on software for a relative good or bad result. Hence, why you have good German hardware running shitty software to a good result for the shitty software goal. For fuck's sake. These arguments are getting exhausting in their tedious, un-thought-out nature.

You're simply wrong. You believe plenty of things that you had no input into whether you were going to believe them or not.

Absolute bullshit. You deny the history of cultural Marxism and its research and application. All that this tells me is that you aren't yet sophisticated enough to catch the less-obvious, more effective programming.
Quote:But perhaps if Germans were not so inclined to obey authority, regardless of who is in power
This is your assertion, and an assertion on this thread, but you guys are simply inventing this assertion out of thin air and repeating it until you convince yourselves of its truth.
And frankly its coming off as jealousy. And pure hate for the Germans, which is increasingly curious to me.
I refuted this assertion, over and over, in the historical recount of German wars. Ignoring the before stated arguments against your argument, just to repeat your prior arguments, is a well worn tactic of the enemies of the Germans.
Quote:(a genetic trait, all behavioral traits are genetic) they would not be in their current situation.
A choice to follow rules is not genetic. It's a matter of the logical choices that are empowered by the free will that results from higher IQ and emotional control. Which are genetic.
If your simplistic assertion on the nature of the complexity of the German personality were true, the Germans would take to a Hitler character if he simply replaced Merkel today, without warning and without prior social programming. They would not.
They are a logical, less emotional people. And that's it. It leads to logical behavior. If they rejected their current oppressors, they'd likely be wiped out. Right now, they are surviving. And they are subject to advanced methods of social programming that also helps them to believe that what they are doing is correct.
If you want to fetishize a lower IQ and more emotional personality, then go ahead. But good luck with that society. And what are you doing in this thread? You should be welcoming the new migrants of Europe. They meet your social and IQ preference better than do the Germans.
Furthermore, you are assigning to the Germans an ability to disobey their post WWII government that they simply did not and do not possess. If you think otherwise, you lack perspective on post WWII Germany. What on earth do you think that US bases are in Germany for? The Russians? Not so much.

Austria under different country names existed for hundreds of years before that. They never wanted to join the Germans and always insisted on having a seperate country and their own kings. Austria and Germany often went to war with eachother.
See here:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria%...ia_rivalry
Quote:Austria and Prussia had a long-standing conflict and rivalry for supremacy in Central Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries, termed Deutscher Dualismus (German dualism) in the German language area. While wars were a part of the rivalry, it was also a race for prestige to be seen as the legitimate political force of the German-speaking peoples.
