@a7 I dont think a lot of people realize just how literally true this is. In fact its a down play. The Nazi party was born out of the Thule society which basically thought germans game from an atlantis-like country and had super powers but were racially diluted. The Romans were basically thought to be from Thule.

@a7 I spent a lot of time studying Nazi history and it is so fucking surreal they got a nation to buy into this bullshit.

LOL

@freemo i dunno the whole world was 1 step away from buying into that shit, right before ww2 eugenics were very popular, rich people in various westren nations went to special doctors and organizations to get ‘racial purity certificates’

People thought they were on the ‘cutting edge of science’ with their ranting insanity that comes down to the level of hebrew israelites

@a7 fair point.. but I think there is a lot of insanity between "I am 100% race X" and "I come from atlantis! and have x-ray vision" :)

@freemo germany had thule, the rest of the westren nations had theosophical society - which basically believed in and pushed a lota similar ideas of thule

@a7 Interesting, I'm less knowledgable about the rest of europe during that same time frame.
