Are the Majority of Skadi Members Hostile to National Socialism?

[Petervalhalla]

Admittedly I am relatively new to the Skadi forum but from what I have seen so far, I get the impression that the majority of the members are very hostile to National Socialism.

I appreciate that internet forums such as this are really for young people, usually under thirty, and certainly under forty. People of my age are very definitely the exception.

Bearing this in mind, could any members take pity on me and answer my question, or at least give me their own views of National Socialism.

Thank you.

I'm not NS and don't support some of its aspects but I get along with comrades who are NS because we have some common views like the ones on race. There are some people here hostile to NS but there are also many NS. Sometimes you get the impression there are many more who are hostile because they have loud mouths and like to impose themselves at all costs. That's the liberal mindset.

[Sigurd]

I'm far from hostile to National Socialism, and I'm curious where you get the perception from that the majority of members were hostile towards it.

Like Bärin says there are some that are particularly loud about it, but the majority is certainly not hostile. I would in fact say that those who are openly NS outnumber those that that openly oppose NS.

I am not NS but if a NS party would clean up my country I would support them.

I'm not too big on state control, but if we're talking about an English state that genuinely acted in the interests of the English folk, then I'd be satisfied with it. The types of 'preservationist' who spend their time talking about how evil intolerance, racism and Nazism are, and the best way to preserve Europe's people is to flame horrible racists and exchange flapjack recipes all day -- well, they don't really dwell on Skadi. I don't know if I'm just comparing Skadi to other sites, but IMO Skadi's very accepting of NS.

I realise I am also a new member of Skadi, but for what it's worth, I am hostile to National Socialism.

I have personal and political values that are counter to those held by many National Socialists. I would oppose National Socialism in my own country if it were to become a viable political force.

I think the sole "political conflict" on Skadi is between those who think the government of a country ought to control most aspects of a citizen's life (like smoking, drinking, hair dye, hunting, abortion and reproduction, education, transportation, being fat, whatever) or those who think the government ought not to. National Socialist who get into arguements on Skadi with Libertarians do so over personal freedom issues more often than any issue.

It is predictable to those of us who have been here a while who will support or suggest such things... and who will oppose them. None of us, I wager, loose any sleep over it nor do we abandon our common cause of Germanic biological and cultural preservation. We are free-born and therefore will have differing opinions about how this can be accomplished. I accept the opinions of those who differ as their own.

If someone is disappointed that Skadi is not a NS site, I say too bad. Accept us as we are or go away, it makes no difference to me.

In my view, the question "power by the government" or "power by the people" is a specifical American question rooted in the history of the United States respectively the personal history of its settlers. However, this is just an obiter dictum, not the subject I wanted to talk about in this context.

Personally, I judge the NS movement mainly based upon the two following aspects:

- Aesthtetics: Historical and comtemporanean national socialists presented/present themselves to the public in a very bizarre if not outright disgusting manner. Their sense for aesthetics was/is apparently very underdeveloped, and they could in this respect learn from many leftist groups, the “Corporate Identity” of the latter being much more appealing in most cases.

- By its historically most “eminent” representatives:
- Himmler, a racially inferior, disharmonious, sadistic little bureaucrat.
- Göring: A morphinist.
- Hitler: By far the most gifted individual of his colleagues, rhetorically
talented, quite intelligent, with an excellent memory and a
terrible sense for political tactics, however necrophilic and
sadomasochistic.

Behind the keywords of the Nazi movement, the traditional German virtues like “Anstand” (decency) and “Pflichttreue” (dutifulness), a pile of far less noble impulses and qualities like brutality, bloodthirstiness and mediocrity of the prototypical petit bourgeois is hidden. Summa summarum, I don’t like the NS movement, even less in its modern appearance. In my view, National Socialism is anachronistic and a symptom of decadence. It could only arise in times of extreme imjustice and might have had good approaches and aspects , but in its essence it was decadent from the very beginning. If we want to preserve European culture, we need a much different concept tailored to the realities of the postmodern world.

If you joined Skadi like 2 years ago, the liberal faction would have still been here. Now it's somewhat better. The people who want to whine about how evil racism and nazism are mostly hang around other forums, because Skadi is 'too extremist' in their words. Nonetheless there are still some anti-NS left here, who think they know better and speak from the high horse. The NS group is not very big either, although it has been growing lately.

Hmm, I'm neither a National Socialist nor a Liberal/Libertarian. I'm somewhere between those. The former is too strict in my view, and the latter two lax. So, I'm not hostile. That's such a big word. My boyfriend is a National Socialist and we've similar views on many things. I've no problem with either National Socialists or Liberals being here because it's a free speech forum and everyone has the right his views. So if some peoples express hostility, I don't think it's a reason to worry in my view. For every person who disagrees, there is one who agrees too.
