Did you know that Goering was one of the great historical pioneers of animal legislation who granted dogs rights that he and his regime denied to their peers? Did you know that The entire leadership of the Third Reich was vegan, That is to say that the great butchers of Europe were absolutely reluctant to eat meat? Did you know that environmentalism was another of his great creeds because nature had to be preserved for the healthy enjoyment and development of the Aryan race? Did you know that Hitler hated tobacco and Eva Braun’s sister because she smoked? Did you know that, since coming to power, he has spent enormous sums of money from German coffers to demonstrate how harmful the pleasure of breathing smoke is to your health?
No, I’m not going to say that everyone who embraces these causes is an unredeemed Nazi. What I will say is that there are flags which are becoming fashionable today and which even stand out as incontestably good, beautiful and true, when they are truly obscure or dubious genealogical originsparticularly with regard to its radicalism, its fanaticism, its dogmatism and its political or social sacralization. Devoting hours to a sport can be very healthy provided that it does not lead to looking with disdain at obese people and even morally censoring the sedentary person himself, even if his nature allows him to be like a sylph.
Wanting to value youth is understandable at a time when new generations are being denied opportunities and told they will live worse than their parents. As we also understand why he pretends to be young without being young and works on his dark circles to see if it works. What is no longer understandable is the contempt for the elderly, this gerontophobia that we see emerging in a worrying way in our political landscape. The story must serve a purpose. Old European politics, the coven of decrepit generals and politicians who sent a generation to the slaughterhouse, was largely responsible for the First World War. The Second World War, on the contrary, is largely responsible. the exaggerated myth of youth.
No. Today it is not a question of going on the hunt for Nazis, but of detecting the clichés, the myths, the ideological superstitions which bloodied the 20th century and which are today claimed as progressive flags. to whom they despise Christian values and yet they show great respect for Islamism in its most fundamentalist version, it would be appropriate to remind them that Hitler was the first to persecute for his defense of the weak, while he recruited hundreds of thousands of Muslims into his ranks and affirmed that “in the face of degenerate Christianity, Islam is a virile religion”.
Have we noticed that the negation of weakness, old age, illness, and the essential precariousness of human beings is truly Nazi? Have we forgotten that the entire Nazi culture revolved around eugenics and euthanasia, the pragmatic elimination of the “defective” being and the cyanide capsule? It is not me who will add fuel to the fire of this bawdy Spain, fond of visceral hyperbole in political or “polarized” debate, as they say now, in which some see Nazis and communists everywhere. But I will be the one who proposes to review the ideological postulates that we accept today as incontestable and the one who invites us to detect in them the traces of the horror that we want, or should want, to leave behind us forever.
