Why German Nazis Were Big Fans of Animal Rights
The Seattle Times ^ | February 1, 1996 | Alexander Cockburn

Joseph Goebbels said, famously, "The only real friend one has in the end is the dog. . . . The more I get to know the human species, the more I care for my Benno." As historians Arnold Arluke and Boria Sax put it, "The Nazis abolished moral distinctions between animals and people by viewing people as animals. The result was that animals could be considered `higher' than some people."

The blond Aryan beast of Nietzsche represented animality at the top available grade, at one with wild nature. Aryans and animals were allied in a struggle against the contaminators, the vivisectors, the under-creatures. "The Fuhrer," Goebbels wrote, "is deeply religious, though completely anti-Christian, views Christianity as a symptom of decay. Rightly so. It is a branch of the Jewish race. . . . Both (Judaism and Christianity) have no point of contact to the animal element, and thus, in the end, they will be destroyed. The Fuhrer is a convinced vegetarian on principle."

"deeply religious, though completely anti-Christian"

What does that mean? Hitler was an occultist--religious in the sense that religion doesn't have to mean a belief in God.

Sounds like the same mental gymnastics hipster moonbats use to excuse their being anti-Christians.

They lowered their estimation of humans to the level of animals and believed that even some animals had more rights. This is the very description of man Leftists. They are constantly dehumanizing entire groups of people because they crave dominance above everything else.

Hitler’s astrologer told him to declare war on Russia. Lucky for freedom that Hitler was so very stupid as to think his star chart was a proper guide.

Hitler’s mistake wasn’t with the astrologer. It was the weatherman.

From the archives of a time when even the hard left wasn’t completely insane and in need of mental health care.

“Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.” — Attributed to Groucho Marx, but nobody has ever been able to find where he said it.

Exactly what it says. He was religious (elating to or manifesting faithful devotion to an acknowledged ultimate reality or deity) but anti-Christian (he was against the Christian as well as Jewish religions)

The Nazi’s where for animal rights, vegetarianism, socialism, eugenics, and anti-smoking because they were leftists trying a 3ed way between communism and capitalism. It’s really that simple.
