The master race

The word herrenrasse in German translates as ‘master race’.

However, this term is not found in Mein Kampf.

Rather the term ‘herrenvolk’’ is found. Volk = ‘people’ Herr" only means "master" in the sense of a gentleman. a gentleman is a mister, which is a derivative of master. a mister is a gentleman. he can also be a lord, or a master. it should not be interpreted to mean "master" in the sense of a slave-owner versus slaves.

So, there was a desire to create a ‘gentlemanly people’.

The term ‘herrenrasse’ only came up after the genital torture of nazis during the Nuremberg trials. You can make anyone ‘admit’ to anything under those circumstances.

Okay, so now you're defending Adolf Hitler.

You're literally defending Hitler.

@LordShadowfire I’ll quote ‘Jesus christ’ at your ACTUAL ignorance now.

‘LITERALLY inventing eugenics’, no they didn’t. Racial ‘science’ was the norm all over the world at that point. You can read volumes on how different leaders, scientists and historians treated what they saw as a hierarchy in racial differences. Just off the top of my head I remember one proponent theorise that the shape of ones skull is indicates how much of an expansionist and risk taker you would be.

And as for the treatment of the disabled, eugenics was also very popular leading up to and during Hitlers leadership. Churchill had tried to have the mentally handicapped sterilised, but then settled with life long institutionalization. America had laws up until 1975 making it a criminal offence for someone with a physical disability to seen in person. The Spartans would bludgeon to death any infant born with a disfigurement.

I could go on for a long time with both, as they were both universal norms. It’s just that now society is different, it takes the nazis as the ultimate evil and so puts everything solely onto the nazis that we don’t like and then say ‘you are literally Hitler’ if said person doesn’t agree that something you claimed the nazis did was evil.

And just think through it logically. Yeah Hitler was a eugenicist. In war time, you send the strongest of your nation off to die. And their superior dreams are took out the gene pool with them. Leaving only the weaker genetic stock at home to continue to continue the race. Yet he apparently wanted to simultaneously take over the world with his strongest members, but also do eugenics, but also carry out a Holocaust, and also eradicate communism. There’s only so much you can do having inherited an economy so bad that a loaf of bread cost the equivalent of over US$60,000. You should look up the term ‘atrocity propaganda’ and consider what happens to that propaganda when the people pushing it become the victors.

@pianoplayingsteve That's nice and all, but we weren't talking about Winston Churchill, the Spartans, or anyone else. We were talking about Germany. We were talking about Hitler. So you can dispense with the "tu quoque" fallacies and stick to the subject.

@LordShadowfire your claim was that he invented eugenics. Displaying that he didn’t isn’t a fallacy. But lying is a fallacy.
