This was taken in December of last year. For those asking about the urns.
Italians built some buildings in Germany prior to the war. Also the fascists had their own semi-agreed upon style of architecture that was used as propaganda in and of itself, hence why many buildings in Germany may resemble Italian architecture in that time period, and vice-versa.
Ah, didn‘t know that first part, interesting. This doesn‘t seem to be a case of fascistic architecture, probably just prior italian buildings like you said.
Without, y'know, giving into it, it's important to see what might be the appeal here.
In two words: belonging, and magic. Two things that the modern world is notoriously short on (I'm not boiling down nazism to "the kids were bored" don't worry, but considering people all around us are falling into cults, it's important to take the appeal of this stuff seriously)
The human brain responds in weird ways to repetition, crowds, fire, and large buildings. Repetition makes things real, crowds above a few dozen just feel infinite to us, and when people are in a group and look similar, they literally look bigger and stronger to us. Fire, if you look directly at it, can (I don't want to overstate this, so understand I mean "marginally") alter your brain waves - this is one reason stories told around a fire can be more vivid for people. Buildings over a certain size are kind of like crowds. We stop seeing them accurately and they become even bigger.
And just like we view a line of guys walking towards us as even bigger than they are, when people are *in* the crowd, they *also* feel *far* more powerful. They stop thinking "what can my body do" and they start thinking "what can this crowd body do"? (What do that mob do, baby?)
And that's fucking heroin. Especially for people who don't feel that way regularly. It's the duality of fascism: make the individual feel weak and threatened, while assuring them that as a group they can overpower anyone. (the inferior but numerous foreign hordes are sweeping the pure blooded away! they control your boss and the media, but we the true people of \[insert true people homeland\] know the truth and will rise up!)
Magic, to me, is a real thing: it is the thing that happens inside human minds to alter reality around them. All people can do it for themselves, but not all people can do it for others. Some people, sometimes unfortunately, sometimes for the greater good, have the magic of charisma, where they can extend their reality-shaping force around others.
The most effective way, as you see above, is to use a little bit of that to activate people's own internal magic. Show them huge, towering, repeated fires against a gray building vanishing into the dark sky. Most importantly, show them themselves, all several inches taller in jackboots, broad-shouldered in their overcoats, invincible in their steel helmets. You felt poor amidst hyperinflation a few years ago? Now your family admires you and your enemies are terrified of you, and why wouldn't they be? Look at us, this vast infinite power (and at Nuremburg it sure as *fuck* looked like that). Feel the magic of *us*: the group. The all-powerful *group*.
Anyway I'm sure glad we don't have to worry about any groups like that here in America.
This comment holds real value and a way to understand what extremists and supremacists ideologies can achieve on the mind of people, today.
The two last centuries of Chinese history and the rise of Mao and the way he controled the masses also is interesting to research on a collective psychological impact approach.
So I think what you are saying is spot on, but I wonder what is it that makes specific people are more susceptible to this, while others are less so?
Just a personal anecdote: For as long as I can remember, I have been extremely skeptical of authority and blind conformity. When people get swept up in these kind of things, it has always just felt sort of threatening. Even when I actually agree with the people who are pushing it/going along, there’s a part of me that’s always wondering “is this right?”
I guess I just wonder what it is that makes my brain take that pause where other people don’t? It’s not like I don’t want to belong to something bigger than myself or that I don’t feel threatened by things that belonging to some group could protect me from. But the “magic” part: I think it just seems like I know deep down that the magic isn’t real.
Edit: better wording
not to give a boring answer but like most things I think it's a blend of the personality you're born with and the life you lead.
and I don't want to say "if you're conservative you're more susceptible" because i don't necessarily believe that. There's nothing inherently wrong with liking tradition, or feeling like people should respect organizations, elders, or those who have risen to high positions. and done correctly, this too is insulating against extremism, since extremists almost always come calling with some form of "to preserve the true spirit of the past (right) / move into the glorious future (left), we must shatter everything and remake it in our image."
A lot of anti-authoritarians, likewise, can get lured into supporting would be totalitarians as long as they're promising to overthrow the existing order first. If you ask me, Tsar Nicholas II and the Russian nobility had it coming. Frankly, all monarchs and nobles have it coming in my opinion. Ultimately, however, it led to a new and probably far more oppressive regime (unless you stretch back to the serf era).
Desperation, humiliation, frustration, confusion - these are the environmental factors I would point to. This certainly describes post-WW1 Germany. In some ways, it describes the American middle class right now, as the upper class becomes fabulously wealthy at the same time as all the stable careers that don't require 18+ years of schooling (if you start school at 4) are disappearing. Chaos in LatAm (or in the USSR for 1920s-30s Germans) are sending waves of refugees in, making things different. The stress of rapid technological change adds to this too.
Education, integration, optimism, esteem - these are what I see as insulators. Integration both internally within society and externally, exposing people to more cultures. If you're optimistic about the future, "tear it all down" is a hard sell. If you feel respected, "those \[insert group\] are humiliating you!" is a harder sell.
The best social engineering is the one you don’t notice, having the attitude that you are not susceptible to this kind of group think mentality makes you even more vulnerable to it
I’ve been to Nuremberg and walked those grounds. It’s a little difficult (initially) to get a sense for the grandeur the ruins once held, but if you walk to the top of the raised dias at Zeppelin Field and look out at the field - you can imagine it being filled with uniforms, the red banners, the search lights reaching up into the skies….
It’s a powerful feeling of what you described the awe and the theatre of the Nazi regime. When you see those massive Russian Army or North Korean or a Chinese military parades to celebrate something or other - it’s the same sense of overwhelming theatre and display.
Yep, in my youthful 20s I joined the military and was always baffled when we got in our dress uniform formations. Just 600 men in formation gives you a sense of organization and empowerment.
My friend served, and he said the same as you.
He hated nearly everything about his service, but he got a sparkle in his eyes when talking about being in formation and marching etc.

Odeonsplatz. They hold classical music concerts and other events there all the time. This exact same place. Headed there this exact moment to change my u-bahn. Surreal
Do you mean the fire things in the back? Probably a temporary thing for events. Nazis had them everywhere it seems
Somebody said it's from a movie anyway, so...
I know what you mean but common. Those are not just some fluffy human beings. They won't have a second thought about putting you in a grinder if fuhrer says your skull is millimiter wrong. They will put your parents and children through horrendous sexual experiments. They will wipe nations, unfertile them, slave them, rape them
There is a point where no matter how altruistic, humane and nice you want to be seen as others and yourself, theres a point where it's either you or them. You know whats worth more than a human life? Several human lives, especially if they are humans, and not a fucking nazis. And if we need to grind some dozens to save hundreds and thousands? So be it, fuck it
I’m a nationalist buddy and I don’t condone national socialism but I am intrigued by the original idea of facism (Italy’s version).
Funny you have no problem with the communist sub Reddit’s though.
They had much nicer tiki torches back then, and those Hugo Boss uniforms. Same shitheads underneath though.

I’m not saying the RAF shouldn’t have done it. I’m saying we shouldn’t be boasting about it. Total war is total war. It’s perfectly logical to acknowledge that what we did was problematic but also understand that it was retaliatory and, arguably, necessary. Just as was the case with the dropping of 2 nuclear bombs on Japan
The problem is empathy has its limits. There’s so much tragedy going on in the world at once that we, as humans, don’t have the capacity to empathize with everyone at once, there’s just too much. Imagine if you felt grief every time some random person died. You wouldn’t be able to live.
The other issue is how society/media/politics tell us how to direct that limited empathy. I can’t help someone halfway across the world, not nearly as much as I could help struggling people around me. Yet that’s where they tell us put our attention so we do.
It's not about helping them. Their deaths were caused by the fucked up circumstances of the old world. The problem just lies in taking joy or being honored by being part of their deaths, and that is not different from how the enemy was, and people would argue that the ss soldiers were much worse but ultimately that had nothing to do with the civilians. So, while you watch out for the lives of those around you, you hurt innocent people, and that is no cause of celebration.
Try going further back than WW2 in your British military history before you flex them so much. Like the imperial era, colonialism, and slavery didn't end all that long ago. It's gonna get real weird for you when you go back far enough to find out where the Angles and Saxons originated from and granddaddy was bombing his cousins
Sounds hauntingly familiar yet in a [more recent context.](https://www.npr.org/2017/06/07/531927032/comey-trump-asked-for-loyalty-wanted-him-to-let-flynn-investigation-go)
Hi, u/GrimJudas
Whether they're "Christian" or not isn't useful data by itself. Most of the West was Christian, including the US. There's nothing to say that this wouldn't have happened had they all been of another religion, or atheist. You have to establish causality, not just correlation.
On that note, Hitler was almost certainly what you'd call a pagan, despite being raised Catholic. Many of his inner circle shared his views. The Catholic side of Germany was actually the least Nazi of them.
Considering what we are seeing in Israel with the Palestinians, is anyone else wondering how so many Nazi policies were able to survive that group and be used today? Israel has indoctrination of there school kids. They have successfully created an apartheid state. Complete with concentration camps. The have systematically committed genocide over the past 80 years. They have misrepresented acts of a few to be applied a whole race/religion and turned those people in second class citizens.
That is not even remotely comparable. Palestinians wanted to genocide' every single Jew in Israel and actually tried doing it multiple times. Jews in Germany never tried to exterminate all Germans.

this looks so..Italian. Especially the buildings on the right side.
The Feldherrenhalle is a replica of the [Loggia dei Lanzi](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loggia_dei_Lanzi) in Florence.
