2. It's a playback of Nazi eugenics, nationalism, racism, ethnic purity (see eugenics) and so on.

I wanted to find references but there are SO MANY.

I came across this snippet from an Episcopalian minister:

Hitler tolerated the Church because he needed the influence and stability it provided but, in reality, he couldn’t stand it. When they first met, Mussolini gave Hitler a leather-bound set of the writings of Nietzsche. Like Nietzsche, Hitler despised the ways that Christianity and Judaism shaped Western Civilization. Chief among those was the belief that every human being is made in the image and likeness of God, and therefore has an inherent dignity and is worthy of respect.


No matter how you couch it or phrase it, the idea of inequality is the fundamental error in society.

Buddhists call it "fundamental darkness" because practically all evil flows from the idea. An idea, because it's not the fact of life.

I discuss at length in another post. It won't be the last, because this first step is necessary for the world to survive. The only lasting revolution is a "Human Revolution", rejecting poisonous beliefs that society drops on us so that some may profit at others' expense.
