THE RESISTANCE - AS IT REALLY WAS

 Translated from  MSZ 1-1983 In a school textbook, the instructions for the "lesson unit: The German Resistance" read: "Just as the extermination of Jews and the concentration camps are the ultimate markers of the crime committed in the name of Germany, so too is the German resistance, even in its failure and its downfall, a triumph of morality over inhumanity. It must be made clear that this 'other Germany' existed, a Germany that, in the terror of the National Socialist dictatorship, was often weak, cowardly, and timid, but which, through its resistance, proved and still proves today: The representative of Germany in those darkest days of its history was not only the overwhelmingly large number of Hitler's followers and collaborators, but also the small number of those who said NO... The resistance proves that National Socialism was not the inevitable consequence of German history, as a prejudice suggests." (Günther von Norden, The Third Reich in the C...

"Integration" versus "national identity": RACISTS LEARN LATIN

Translated from  MSZ 10-1984 In scholarly discussions the "foreigner question," which dominates everyone today, such ugly tones as "Foreigners out!" are rarely heard when a tougher approach to dealing with the now unwanted human material is advocated. The educated commentators on the foreigner "problem" have mastered the art of transforming the state's dictates about what foreigners are allowed or required to do into a form of treatment that suits their own purposes. The use of racist vocabulary about a master race and the inferior genetic heritage of other peoples is simply out of place when considering the question that enlightened democrats are asking themselves after decades of employing foreign workers: whether "integration" is even possible, and if so, how it should be achieved. There is no trace of outdated racism in the demand to integrate these "other people," with all their "difference," into the national body of...

Goethe Prize for Ernst Jünger:

 Translated from MSZ 5-1982 FOR MERIT! Democratic rulers—like all rulers—have always enjoyed adorning themselves with the works, or even personal acquaintance, of various artistic and intellectual luminaries. Not that they personally found the works particularly appealing. Their aim is to imbue the exercise of state power with a veneer of culture and humanity. Thus, a good German can elevate the dreariness of everyday democratic life with the certainty of belonging to a cultural nation. Depending on its current concerns, democracy selects the intellectual figures that best suit its agenda. While during the heyday of reformist ideals, the likes of Grass and Böll were showered with honors and cocktail parties in Bonn, this year one of the republic's most prestigious literary prizes—the Goethe Prize of the City of Frankfurt am Main—went to Ernst Jünger, a World War I and II front-line officer and writer. Contrary to rumors, this is not a misuse of the birthplace of the first German de...

AI as yet another cost saving machine in a long line of labor-saving machinery

AI, Robotics, warehouse fires, strikes? Yet again, factory, warehouse, and office owners, investors, those hedging their bets on AI, sing its praises to the high heavens: the latest technological advance is a reason for optimism! Rejoice! Everybody in this wonderful consumer society will reap the benefits. Think of all the applications: surgery, detecting cancer, faster delivery, hands free driving, no more people getting maimed at dangerous jobs like oil rig workers, welding, electrical linemen, truck drivers, fire fighting, machine operation, soldiers, tree cutters, and on and on. And even the non dangerous jobs, the expensive "brain workers" responsible for culture-- it turns out they use their brains so much pumping out recycled homogenous shit, standardized cultural commodities, the same stories, the same art, music, and so on over and over and over that a computer with a fancy program can now ape the generic products and pump them out without having to pay a screen writ...

Trans scandal hits Mercer County rough draft

According to the modest small townsfolk, the immoral decay and rot of the liberal big cities has finally reached where it doesn't belong: the rural areas on the outskirts.  In my hometown, Mercer, PA a substitute teacher recently went viral for wearing a modest dress which went down to the knees. A student took a photo and posted it online. A torrent of outraged parents expressed consternation that the school administration would allow THAT around children. That might seem odd, and maybe even a breach of that teacher's privacy. Who likes to have candid photos snapped of themselves and posted online without one's knowledge? But that was not what people were upset over, and it didn't figure into their moral outrage.  The plot thickens.  So, what were they outraged about? The person in the photo taken by the student, it turns out has a shaved head, and a fading hairline. It turns out they are a trans woman (male to female), and this caused a huge outpouring of moral outrag...
