So why bother?
Young people have always been up to nonsense like this, haven’t they?
Despite being less middle age/less old and wise, less influential, less in possession of nice Audis, Beamers and Volvos, less aware and less experienced, young misguided Westerners actually are valuable.
To a great extent, they constitute a measurement of their parent’s ability of reaching insight as wise guardians of a true civilization.
Naturally, I don’t wish to defend Neo-Nazism, but I wish to ‘express concern’ (yes, it sounds pathetic to some I’d guess) over ‘misguided’, ‘frustrated’, young ‘failures’ of my own continent. Indeed, each individual’s life is what they make of it, but in most cases, your parents and your country actually influence your future more than average 15-25 year olds would wish to admit.
If you happen to view yourself as a person who’ve acquired a certain degree of wisdom here in life - share. Share excessively.
Today, some parts of Europe prosper while others still haven’t begun to recuperate from the evils of Communism.
The surplus wealth of the ‘wealthy’ parts of Europe badly needs to be invested in an increased capacity of (mainly industrial) production. Otherwise, Eastern Europe might as well return to barbarism and drinking vodka all day long again.
Fortunately enough, leading European CEO’s and such people share this view. Countries like Poland, the Baltic states and many others are presently developing rapidly. This process is truly enriching all of Europe.
But if this sound development does NOT continue, the world is in for severe trouble.
I believe a lot of ‘educated’ people underestimate the importance of Eastern Europe.
If Japan would collapse, it would actually mean less to the global economic scene than a collapse of Eastern Europe. Such a decline would lead to a Latin American-like corruption appearing on European soil.
Or horrors even worse.
Central/Eastern Europe does not need a second wave of Nazification.
Nazism stemmed from several different societal weaknesses like the economical disorders of a crushed post-war Germany together with strife between ethnic groups and the humiliation of having lost WWI. Add the shortsightedness of the Versailles Treaty.
Today, the EU is still the largest economy on earth, just like it was 1914 and 1939. It does no longer cripple itself by Versailles treaties, but by a fear of what Europe is able of achieving.
In glaring contrast to the US of today, Europe fears the role of leadership. In Europe, world leadership is widely associated with megalomania, destruction of human lives and scorched earth. In one way, this only natural. I have relatives who participated, at close range, in this... honestly, words fail me.
But personally, I think it’s time for Europe to pose the question to herself if the world would not fare better with a combined US-EU-East Asian Leadership.
Europeans of today often ask themselves “What IS ‘Europe’?”
Few Europeans realize it’s what we make of it.
Europe is not, chiefly, about what recently took place in magnificent cities like Dresden, Coventry, Warsaw and Stalingrad/Volgograd or places like Treblinka. This DID happen, but alongside with remembering this, let’s nourish that above all, Europe is about surviving such horrors and defiantly resurrecting the true beauty of the human soul.
At least, let’s try.
We Europeans ARE indeed very well educated, problem is we don’t make full use of this asset.
If Europe, anew, loses her faith in classical education, the world will suffer.
We can not afford another Hitler.
Uneducated and intellectually limited people often fear the very power of the human mind - for instance, Hitler more or less avoided the works of a ‘complicated’, superior mind like that of Beethoven (a true genius).
Hitler’s musical engagement never developed beyond the pubertal scope of worshiping Wagner’s pre-atonal cacophonies (if these words mean nothing to you, you are a lucky person).
Why did Wagner compose ‘music’ when he simply could’ve shot himself?
Anyhow, young people growing up in Europe of today must be offered alternatives to Nazism, Communism, Islam and PC ideologies.
Like the belief in future itself.
“Neo-nazis”?
Were any of the “neo-nazis” of Arabic, or North African extraction perhaps?
Last year France was experiencing a wave of nasty anti-semitism, which sometimes was covered in the MSM as if it were a bunch of blond blue-eyed wannabe aryans.
Media liberals so very want that to be, they often seem to leave out details, which would indicate otherwise.
