The Green Nazi Deep Ecology of Martin Heidegger

One of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century, foundational to the academic left and deep ecology of the greens, was committed to Nazism. The green Nazi/deep ecology connection in the life and works of Martin Heidegger have been routinely given a pass over the years by many western scholars who love his existential philosophy. According to French professor Emmanuel Faye's latest book on Heidegger, the days of viewing his commitment to Nazism as something incidental to his life are now officially over. In his book Heidegger: The Introduction of Nazism into Philosophy in Light of the Unpublished Seminars 1933-35, French Professor Emmanuel Faye has exposed the real Martin Heidegger (1889-1976)...

AIUT, the current animal welfare laws in Germany are actually the same as the Nazi laws, but modified. It seems that the concept of Dauerwald has ended up being "writ large" on the world, eh?

The same author wrote another article for AIM awhile back where he quoted one of the original animal rights gurus in Germany who specifically charged the Jews with animal cruelty because of the dominion mandate given in Genesis 1 - Arthur Schopenhauer. Schopenhauer was Hitler’s favorite philosopher. Hitler could quote him verbatim. Schopenhauer once said, “we owe the animal not mercy but justice, and the debt often remains unpaid in Europe, the continent that is permeated with Foeter Judaicus…It is obviously high time in Europe that Jewish views on nature were brought to an end…the unconscionable treatment of the animal world must, on account of its immorality, be expelled from Europe.” That Jews would later be treated like experimental animals is perhaps not as surprising as some would assume - http://www.aim.org/aim-report/hitlers-green-killing-machine/.

Guys like Heidegger are sort of like hypnotists to some people. They fall under his spell, even though he makes no sense. Hitler was one, too.

Hitler had a hypnotic effect on Heidegger too!

I’ll never forget the statement by Himmler when complaining to his massage therapist: That stalking a deer and shooting it was murder.

The pro-nature anti human diatribe truly has a hypnotic effect on people of various stripes, including SS animal lover Heinrich Himmler.

It is ironic that the Nazis are now being portrayed as being in love with technology. There were many proficient German engineers, but they took orders from men who knew little and cared less for their work.

Believe it or not, but Hitler actually held off on okaying the V2 rocket because he was concerned it would create an ozone hole that would allow poisons from outer space to seep into the environment. He finally okayed it when he finally realized that everything was lost anyway.
