Nazi Quotes

“[Said during a debate when his opponent asserted that atheism and belief in evolution lead to Nazism:]

Atheism by itself is, of course, not a moral position or a political one of any kind; it simply is the refusal to believe in a supernatural dimension. For you to say of Nazism that it was the implementation of the work of Charles Darwin is a filthy slander, undeserving of you and an insult to this audience. Darwin’s thought was not taught in Germany; Darwinism was so derided in Germany along with every other form of unbelief that all the great modern atheists, Darwin, Einstein and Freud were alike despised by the National Socialist regime.

Now, just to take the most notorious of the 20th century totalitarianisms – the most finished example, the most perfected one, the most ruthless and refined one: that of National Socialism, the one that fortunately allowed the escape of all these great atheists, thinkers and many others, to the United States, a country of separation of church and state, that gave them welcome – if it’s an atheistic regime, then how come that in the first chapter of Mein Kampf, that Hitler says that he’s doing God’s work and executing God’s will in destroying the Jewish people? How come the fuhrer oath that every officer of the Party and the Army had to take, making Hitler into a minor god, begins, “I swear in the name of almighty God, my loyalty to the Fuhrer?” How come that on the belt buckle of every Nazi soldier it says Gott mit uns, God on our side? How come that the first treaty made by the Nationalist Socialist dictatorship, the very first is with the Vatican? It’s exchanging political control of Germany for Catholic control of German education. How come that the church has celebrated the birthday of the Fuhrer every year, on that day until democracy put an end to this filthy, quasi-religious, superstitious, barbarous, reactionary system?

Again, this is not a difference of emphasis between us. To suggest that there’s something fascistic about me and about my beliefs is something I won't hear said and you shouldn't believe.”
― Christopher Hitchens

“The bittersweetness of uncertainty: To win or to lose.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“One question in my mind, which I hardly dare mention in public, is whether patriotism has, overall, been a force for good or evil in the world. Patriotism is rampant in war and there are some good things about it. Just as self-respect and pride bring out the best in an individual, pride in family, pride in teammates, pride in hometown bring out the best in groups of people. War brings out the kind of pride in country that encourages its citizens in the direction of excellence and it encourages them to be ready to die for it. At no time do people work so well together to achieve the same goal as they do in wartime. Maybe that's enough to make patriotism eligible to be considered a virtue. If only I could get out of my mind the most patriotic people who ever lived, the Nazi Germans.”
― Andy Rooney, My War

“We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silent encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”
― Elie Wiesel

“There was nothing conservative about Adolf Hitler. Hitler was an artist and a revolutionary at heart. He wanted to completely upend and remake German society.”
― A.E. Samaan

“Down in the cellar the Gestapo were licensed to practice was the Ministry of Justice called ‘heightened interrogation’. The rules had been drawn up by civilised men in warm offices and they stipulated the presence of a doctor.”
― Robert Harris, Fatherland

“Political calculation and local suffering do not entirely explain the participation in these pogroms. Violence against Jews served to bring the Germans and elements of the local non-Jewish populations closer together. Anger was directed, as the Germans wished, toward the Jews, rather than against collaborators with the Soviet regime as such. People who reacted to the Germans' urging knew that they were pleasing their new masters, whether or not they believed that the Jews were responsible for their own woes. By their actions they were confirming the Nazi worldview. The act of killing Jews as revenge for NKVD executions confirmed the Nazi understanding of the Soviet Union as a Jewish state. Violence against Jews also allowed local Estonians, Latvian, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, and Poles who had themselves cooperated with the Soviet regime to escape any such taint. The idea that only Jews served communists was convenient not just for the occupiers but for some of the occupied as well.
Yet this psychic nazification would have been much more difficult without the palpable evidence of Soviet atrocities. The pogroms took place where the Soviets had recently arrived and where Soviet power was recently installed, where for the previous months Soviet organs of coercion had organized arrests, executions, and deportations. They were a joint production, a Nazi edition of a Soviet text.

“Do you know, where does this phrase "separation of Church and State" come from? It was not in Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists...The exact phrase "separation of Church and State" came out of Adolf Hilter's mouth, that's where it comes from. So the next time your liberal friends talk about the separation of Church and State - ask them why they're Nazis.”
― Glen Urquhart

“Man muss wohl als Frau auch immer ein bisschen Nazi sein.”

“...The typhoon of madness that swept through the country [of Rwanda] between April 7 and the third week of May accounted for 80 percent of the victims of the genocide.

That means about eight hundred thousand people were murdered during those six weeks, making the daily killing rate at least five times that of the Nazi death camps. The simple peasants of Rwanda, with their machetes, clubs, and sticks with nails, had killed at a faster rate than the Nazi death machine with its gas chambers, mass ovens, and firing squads. In my opinion, the killing frenzy of the Rwandan genocide shared a vital common thread with the technological efficiency of the Nazi genocide--satanic hate in abundance was at the core of both.”
― John Rucyahana, The Bishop of Rwanda: Finding Forgiveness Amidst a Pile of Bones

“The Soviets, at least some of them, believed in what they were doing. After all, they did it themselves and recorded what they did, in clear language, in official documents, filed in orderly archives. They could associate themselves with their deeds, because true responsibility rested with the communist party. The Nazis used grand phrases of racial superiority, and Himmler spoke of the moral sublimity involved in killing others for the sake of the race. But when the time came, Germans acted without plans and without precision, and with no sense of responsibility. In the Nazi worldview, what happened was simply what happened, the stronger should win; but nothing was certain, and certainly not the relationship between past, present and future. The Soviets believed that History was on their side and acted accordingly. The Nazis were afraid of everything except the disorder they themselves created. The systems and the mentalities were different, profoundly and interestingly so.”

“When The Nation Regresses (Sonnet 2210)

Letter to the rest of the world -
for the first time in over 200 years,
US is proudly regressing to its primitive origins,
now is the time to take stock of your strengths within -

your domestic brains, your domestic backbones,
and wield, empower and apply them most vehemently -
now is the time you fly higher than ever, without sam,
because big brother has turned into a drunken uncle.

And to those living within these shores of liberty,
who still have their sanity intact, I say -
you might not have had the honor to fight nazis,
but now is the time you resist with your life.

It's not a free country, it's a free jungle,
where predators roam free abusing the marginalized.
If you don't stand up now on the right side of life,
not human, not alive, you are undead - uncivilized.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

“Mass deportation is human trafficking, but you'd have to have a human heart, unchained by patriotic allegiances, to fathom this. Every genocidal maniac is a patriot, and it's the golden age of crime, when the biggest cartel of a nation is its own government.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets: The Naskar Art of Neuroscience

“Bella ciao, we're not going back
to the jungle, not ever, not now.
Hate not permitted while I stand,
this, is the original divine vow.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets: The Naskar Art of Neuroscience

“Gaza is not for sale,

“Gaza is not for sale,
Greenland is not for sale,
Ukraine is not for sale,
Canada is not for sale.

Planet Earth is not real estate,
to pander to your predatory psychopathy.
If you are so hard up for cash, we can all
chip in to buy you some good ol shock therapy.”

“On a more curious note, there have been historical attempts - some also in current times - to 'revive' an extinct wild form, the aurochs (Stokstad 2015), perhaps an example of the 'taste for the primitive' so characteristic of diverse human endeavors (Gombrich 2002). The case of the aurochs is tied to the Heck cattle and with that to the history of Nazi Germany. It would seem there are better ways to act to restore natural environments.

“United States has a 9/11 Memorial, Germany has a Holocaust Memorial, but if you endeavor to commemorate the earth victims of White Terrorism, you'll run out of walls before you run out of names.”

“In Colonial English they say: not all muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are muslim. In Naskarian English we say: not all white people are animal, but 99% of historic predators, terrorists, traffickers, thieves, morons and imbeciles were white.

United States has a 9/11 Memorial, Germany has a Holocaust Memorial, but if you endeavor to commemorate the earth victims of White Terrorism, you'll run out of walls before you run out of names.”

“Nazis Were Nice People! (Sonnet)

If you steal from the thieves,
can they call the cops!
If you heist from the blackmarket,
is it really a crime!

If you rob the British Museum,
isn't it a humanitarian initiative!
If you blast Mount Rushmore to ashes,
isn't it really public service!

Nazis are the most dehumanized community in history,
while empires with hundred times the atrocity
walk like they invented morality.

Nazis were really nice people,
they just wanted what's best for the world -
tickles you the wrong way, doesn't it,
yet you idolize buckingham and the pilgrims!”
― Abhijit Naskar, With Love From A Blue Rock

“Pavlov's Monkeys (Sonnet 2608)

I'm a brain scientist,
I know more about human instincts,
than the humans do themselves,
yet one thing still puzzles me -

how can people be so repulsed at the nazis,
yet be so stupidly unabashed about
the british empire and the american pilgrims,
with a criminal record hundred times bloodier!

You feel quite at home, proud even,
when you hear, 'the British were civilizers,
the Americans were pioneers,'
yet if I say one positive word about the nazis,
suddenly your blood boils like circus-trained dogs!

It's good, your blood should boil,
your blood should boil at the
very idea of hate and persecution,
but what kind of a prehistoric orangutan
cherrypicks which persecution to be mad at,
based on the color of skin or place of birth!”
