Path of Totality

“The swastika stands out black against the white background. Not only does it testify to our reverence for the past through the only colors we all dearly loved, which had once won so much honor for the German people, it was also the the best embodiment of the will of the movement. As National Socialists, we see in our flag our program. In the red we see the social thought of the movement, in the white the nationalist, in the swastika the mission of the struggle for the victory of Aryan man and at the same time with it the victory of the thought of creative labor, which itself was and will be eternally anti-Semitic." Adolf Hitler, who himself created this symbol of the new Germany. The swastika is the ancient sun sign in which we must triumph over the forces of darkness that still threaten us." — Else Frobenius (Women in the Third Reich, p. 107) Content by… @bibliothecaofwarha

Hitler Witnesses Multiculturalism as Dysfunctional “The ‘nationalities’ [of the Hapsburg Empire] were opposed to any kind of glorification of Austrian history in the decoration of this building [House of Parliament]; they insisted that it would constitute an offense to them.” (p. 171) “The intellectual level of the debate was quite low. Sometimes the debaters didn’t make themselves intelligible at all. Several of those present didn’t speak German, but only their Slav dialects. Thus I had the opportunity of hearing with my own ears what I had previously known only by reading the newspapers. A turbulent mass of people, all gesticulating and screaming at one another, with a pathetic old man shaking his bell and making frantic efforts to call the House to order by friendly appeals, exhortations, and grave warnings. I had to laugh.” (p. 175) — Adolf Hitler, from Mien Kampf (1925) [The Dual German-English translation of Dr. Thomas Dalton, Clemens & Blair Edition, New York, London, 2017, Vol. 1]

Holding Democracy Hostage Nebraska hasn't passed a single bill this year because one lawmaker keeps filibustering in protest of an anti-trans bill. “State Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh speaks before the Nebraska Legislature on March 13, 2023, at the Nebraska State Capital in Lincoln, Nebraska. Cavanaugh is in her third week of an effort to filibuster every bill that comes before the Legislature this session — even the ones she supports. The effort is a protest against conservatives' advancement of a bill that would outlaw gender-affirming therapies for those 18 and younger. Cavanaugh has declared she will ‘burn the session to the ground’ in an effort to stymie the bill.” — from the article https://www.businessinsider.com/nebraska-hasnt-passed-a-bill-this-year-mega-filibuster-2023-3
