Did German Chancellor Olaf Scholz compare climate activists to Nazis? | DW News - YouTube
What’s the problem? National Socialist Germany was indeed the forerunner of present-day environmentalism, as even critics of the former reluctantly admit:
https://facingtoday.facinghistory.org/examining-nazi-environmentalism-during-earth-week
Surprisingly, Nazi leadership ardently championed renewable energy, and institutionalized organic farming and land use planning on a level unmatched by any nation past or present.
…
As historian Peter Staudenmaier writes in “Fascist Ecology: The ‘Green Wing’ of the Nazi Party and its Historical Antecedents,” “[i]n the face of the very real dislocations brought on by the triumph of industrial capitalism and national unification, volkisch thinkers preached a return to the land, to the simplicity and wholeness of a life attuned to nature’s purity.” He explains that this movement “refused to locate the sources of alienation, rootlessness and environmental destruction in social structures, laying the blame instead to rationalism, cosmopolitanism, and urban civilization. The stand-in for all of these was the age-old object of peasant hatred and middle-class resentment: the Jews.”
…
the Nazis would also establish the first nature preserves in Europe and an unprecedented level of government support for ecologically sound farming methods. Though such activities might appear remarkably forward thinking when taken out of context, this ecological program was undertaken with the goal of dominating, displacing, and destroying millions of human beings. The Nazi Party’s environmentalism thus reveals the harrowing range of ends for which ecological ideas can be appropriated, and the political agendas that shaped the ecological science we still use today.
One of the most striking aspects of this history is the role that young, ecologically minded Germans played in the success of the Nazi Party. As Staudenmaier writes, the German youth movement in this period was the key cultural force that popularized volkisch ideas amongst the general public. The youth culture rejected civic engagement outright and embraced a communal, back-to-the-land lifestyle instead. They perceived the social and ecological challenges of the day as too great to be resolved through the political process. As Staudenmaier points out, however, this passive attitude predisposed them to fascist zealotry and the youth movement was “actively realigned” when many thousands of them later joined the Nazi Party.

In 1917, Fritz Lenz, a geneticist, wrote an essay Race as the Principle of Value: On a Renewal of Ethics. Hitler’s library contained an offprint of the essay. Lenz argued that the growth of technology had brought about an alienation from nature. When it was republished in 1933, Lenz boasted that the essay ‘contained all the main features of the National Socialist worldview.’ Urbanized, industrialized man’s breach with nature is a recurrent theme. In 1932, the surgeon and cancer specialist Dr. Erwin Liek, widely credited with being the father of Nazi medicine, wrote a book arguing that cancer was a disease of civilization.
Cultural hostility to urban civilization in Germany pre-dates Nazism and not all those who articulated it became Nazis. In 1913, the philosopher Ludwig Klages, a conservative later criticized by the Nazis, wrote an essay Man and Earth. Staudenmaier detects in it virtually all the themes of today’s environmental movement. Progress was ‘a sick, destructive joke,’ Klages wrote, its final goal being
nothing less than the destruction of life. This destructive urge takes many forms: progress is devastating forests, exterminating animal species, extinguishing native cultures, masking and distorting the pristine landscape with the varnish of industrialism, and debasing the organic life that still survives.
…
The Nazis’ profound hostility to capitalism and their identification with nature-politics led them to advocate green policies half a century before any other political party. As an approximation, subtract Nazi race-hate, militarism and desire for world conquest, then add global warming and Nazi ideology ends up looking not dissimilar to today’s environmental movement. From the vantage point of the second decade of the 21st century, it might come as a shock, but should not surprise that Hitler and the Nazis were the first to advocate large-scale renewable energy.
…
the Nazis’ newspaper, the Völkischer Beobachter, carried a long article reporting a ‘sensational speech’ on plans for huge 70-90 meter high (230-295 feet) wind mills to generate ‘huge amounts of cheap energy.’
…
Headlined ‘National energy policy,’ the article claimed that wind power could transform the economy and give employment to millions of Germans (‘green jobs,’ in today’s political parlance). There would be greater fuel economy through light-weight cars and trains, and tariffs would encourage car drivers to switch to rail. Cars would also use domestically-produced synthetic fuels. The program would completely change the whole economy, the article concluded, improve money circulation and reduce imports and cost burdens. This must be one of the first efforts at describing ‘green growth’ that would become popular with governments in the 21st century
…
Wind, like hydro, requires huge amounts of capital. As Lawaczeck and the Nazis grasped – and modern governments would discover in their turn – the market would not provide the capital if left to itself. Echoing Feder’s breaking interest slavery, Lawaczeck argued that interest on money is the greatest obstacle to making wind and hydro-power profitable.

“If you look at what the Nazis were doing in the 1930s, in their environmental policies, virtually every theme you see in the modern environmental movement, the Nazis were doing,” said Rupert Darwall, author of “Green Tyranny,” in a recent interview with Encounter Books.
“I think actually the most extraordinary thing that I came across was this quote from Adolf Hitler where he told an aide once, ‘I’m not interested in politics. I’m interested in changing people’s lifestyles.’ Well, that could be … that’s extraordinarily contemporary. That is what the modern environmental movement is all about. It’s about changing people’s lifestyles,” said Darwall, who is no crackpot on the fringe and whose background includes duties as a special advisor to the United Kingdom’s Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The Fuhrer’s interest in “changing people’s lifestyles” is, not at all shockingly, similar to the goals of today’s climate fanatics who want to destroy capitalism and replace it with an economic system — run by them, naturally — that would certainly change lifestyles in the West.
Darwall further notes in the interview that “the Nazis were the first political party in the world to have a wind power program,” and were also opposed to eating meat, a delightful and nutritious activity that the warming alarmists consider a sin.

It is really funny how Jews complain about people criticizing the State of Israel. After all, how do they suppose I feel, as a White Gentile, about those who criticize my White brothers and sisters in Apartheid South Africa? Did it not occur to them, back in the 1980′s, how much I would resent that? I wonder!
Our enemies are also acknowledging the National Socialist origin of the Greens (though they think this makes the Greens look bad):
https://gatesofvienna.net/2022/06/dont-take-the-kids-to-the-pool-this-summer/
As Katrin Göring-Eckardt (Greens) said: “Our country will change, and drastically. And I look forward to it!” (I always wonder if she’s related to Fat Hermann, Hitler’s pal, since so many founders of the Greens had an NSDAP background?)
Swimming pools in themselves are of non-Western origin:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Bath,_Mohenjo-daro
The chlorinated water founded in present-day swimming pools, on the other hand, is unsurprisingly of Western origin:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_chlorination
In a paper published in 1894, it was formally proposed to add chlorine to water to render it “germ-free”. Two other authorities endorsed this proposal and published it in many other papers in 1895.[4] Early attempts at implementing water chlorination at a water treatment plant were made in 1893 in Hamburg, Germany. In 1897 the town of Maidstone, England was the first to have its entire water supply treated with chlorine.[5]
…
Disinfection by chlorination can be problematic in some circumstances. Chlorine can react with naturally occurring organic compounds found in the water supply to produce compounds known as disinfection by-products (DBPs). The most common DBPs are trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs). Trihalomethanes are the main disinfectant by-products created from chlorination with two different types, bromoform and dibromochloromethane, which are mainly responsible for health hazards. Their effects depend strictly on the duration of their exposure to the chemicals and the amount ingested into the body. In high doses, bromoform mainly slows down regular brain activity, which is manifested by symptoms such as sleepiness or sedation. Chronic exposure of both bromoform and dibromochloromethane can cause liver and kidney cancer, as well as heart disease, unconsciousness, or death in high doses.[19]
Ironically, our enemies also have a recent post about an accident involving gaseous chlorine:
https://gatesofvienna.net/2022/06/chlorine-gas/
Chlorine Gas Leak Kills at Least 12, Injures 251 at Jordan Port
The leak came after a tank filled with chlorine gas being exported to Djibouti fell while being transported, officials said.
At least 12 people died and 251 were injured in a chlorine gas leak from a storage tank at Jordan’s Aqaba port, officials and state media reported on Monday.
A video posted on state television’s Twitter page showed a storage tank falling from a winch and slamming into the deck of a ship, followed by yellow-coloured gas rising into the air as people ran away.
Health ministry officials said they expected only a handful of people to remain hospitalised by Tuesday.
Chlorine is a widely used disinfectant and water purification agent, but if inhaled, the gas turns to hydrochloric acid, which can lead to internal burning and drowning through a reactionary release of water in the lungs.
Being rightists, the thought never crosses their mind to hold Western civilization accountable for this, even though it was Western civilization alone which was reckless enough to decide to isolate chlorine (something which was never meant to be done - it should have been simply left as salt etc. like every other civilization left it!)):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine#Isolation
The element was first studied in detail in 1774 by Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele, and he is credited with the discovery.[11][12] Scheele produced chlorine by reacting MnO2 (as the mineral pyrolusite) with HCl:[10]
4 HCl + MnO2 ? MnCl2 + 2 H2O + Cl2
Scheele observed several of the properties of chlorine: the bleaching effect on litmus, the deadly effect on insects, the yellow-green color, and the smell similar to aqua regia.[13]
