Forgetting Auschwitz in a Brave Progressive World


Earlier this week, the Washington Examiner reported 66% of millennials and 41% of adults couldn’t explain the significance of Auschwitz. I was absolutely stunned when I read that article. My first thought was how is this possible? This was standard fare in our history curriculum. I was aware of the holocaust in middle school. However, I wasn’t taught the facts on how a vocal and violent minority was able to subjugate a whole country and use that power to commit the greatest atrocity known to mankind.


If I were teaching history, and allowed to demonstrate the Nazification of Germany, I would show two videos: The Nazi Gospels and Hitler’s Empire: The Post War Plan - Nazification. An astute student would recognize the tactics used by today’s Progressives are the same as Hitler’s Brown Shirts. It’s uncanny.


First on their agenda was to takeover schools and brainwash the youth. Children are susceptible to propaganda. They haven’t developed critical thinking skills and therefore are easy targets. The youth were moulded into believing they were special and destined to fix the wrongs of previous generations. Doesn’t that remind you of today’s snowflakes?


Another facet on brainwashing was to take children away from their parents and deny adoption. We see that today. Liberals have declared Christians as dangerous bigots and shouldn’t be allowed to foist their religion on future Americans. Bigotry is a one way street with these people.


A common factor between Hitler’s Germany and today’s Progressives is the marginalization of Christians. Any business or business owner who openly professes their love of Jesus is boycotted, harassed and/or sued. Recently, The New Yorker published an article about Chick-Fil-A’s “infiltration” of Gotham. The writer freaked out over that company’s Christian principles. A couple of decades ago this wouldn’t have been a problem.


This brings us to another favorite tactic employed by totalitarians: fear and denunciation. In the world of Progressives, as it was in 1930’s Germany, Mao’s China and Stalin’s Soviet Union, individualism is frowned upon. People are pigeonholed into subset groups and every aspect of life is politicized. We can’t even watch a football game, movie, television show or an awards ceremony without a bunch of punks shoving their cause de jour in our face. These self-righteous snowflakes have been well indoctrinated in progressive rhetoric; but to others, words just won’t do.


Shaming is the first step to subjugation; violence the second and nothing melds these two principles together like Antifa and groups like it. These fascists have really embraced the Nazi gospels by subscribing to thuggish tactics such as shutting down speech, beating dissenters, terrorizing venues, vandalizing businesses and statues. These snowflakes are convinced of their superior ideology with remarkable assurance. They, like their 20th century predecessors, are indoctrinated in the belief that they too will someday share in the power. But first, all dissenters must be cowed.


One of the ironies these doctrinaires haven’t contemplated is how their elite exempt themselves from the rigours of their own ideology. We see that with today’s environmentalist, politicians and celebrities who laud spartan-esque lifestyles while they enjoy private jets and energy consuming mansions. The Nazis did the exact same thing but through fashion.


A way to virtue signal the superiority of Germanic culture was to dress like peasants. These drab costumes were encouraged because 97% of women’s fashion were dominated by Jews. However, burlap sacks wouldn’t suffice for the upper-echelon. Their wives wanted to look good. So, they enslaved Jews at concentration camps, like Auschwitz, to make dresses especially for them.


As we’ve seen, history is inconsequential to Progressives. They subscribe to a Darwinian ideology that emphasizes an evolving and just society that defies human experience. The ends justify the means to this crowd and the consequences be damned, as though history doesn’t repeat itself.


I’m sure others were shocked to find out 66% of millennials do not understand the significance of Auschwitz; but should we be, after considering what we know about Progressives? In their brave new world we can only hope future generations are fit enough to survive this particular strand of superior ideology.
