Unspeakable, why are they unspeakable? They killed a load of people, what's the big deal? My ancestors slaughtered countless people, and I'm glad they did, because I owe my existence to their slaughter. Given the technology at the time the Earth only had a limited carrying capacity, many had to die so others could live.
Since world war II, we've gone on slaughtering people, directly like in Korea and Vietnam, or more usually indirectly through our support for numerous regimes and non state actors. "preserving our humanity"
don't you love that phrase, it usually means getting someone else to do your dirty work for you or at the very least bombing from attitude:
Any children killed at Dresden were just a regrettable accident.
Look here Germans, the idea of German exceptionalism, of some unspeakable evil was a useful Cold War yarn, but really you don't have to take it seriously. We could hardly have mobilised against international Communism while agonsing over the morality of "terror bombing. Yes even hydrogen bombs can cause some collateral damage. Its like Saddam's weapons of mass destruction, a useful narrative, to mobilise for a necessary war, don't get hung up on the veracity of the details. At bottom, stripping away the uniforms, the "son et lumiere" and the fantastical conspiracy theories, the Nazis was nothing more than an equality movement that got out of hand. Its like bussing in America, the idea of bussing in America was to create equality by bringing White Schools down to the level of Black schools and it has to be said it was partially successful although at the cost of a lot resentment.
I guess you'd say that Nazism was also partially successful, but at the cost of even more resentment. The Nazis gave birth to Israel. Anyone who imagines that Israel would have got off the ground without the Nazis is delusional. Goy in Weimar Germany were at a huge socio economic disadvantage compared to Jews as they were in the rest of Christendom. Jews in Israel now have similar standards of living to Germans French, White Americans etc. Infidel, Goy in Israel seem to do better than Jews. No one could accuse Israel of discriminating against its minorities. Israel is a land of opportunity as America is a land of opportunity for East Asians. Of course there will always be haters who think the Jews of Israel have not been pulled low enough.
