STRENGTH THROUGH JOY

Posted on 08/27/2024 9:33:30 AM PDT by 7thson

While watching Gutfeld's show last night, this little bit of informaiton was presented. Tyrus - on Gutfeld's show - stated to Google Strength Through Joy - which I did.

More at the link but basically it is "NS Gemeinschaft Kraft durch Freude (German for 'Strength Through Joy'; KdF) was a German NSDAP-operated leisure organization in Nazi Germany.[1] It was part of the German Labour Front (German: Deutsche Arbeitsfront), the national labour organization at that time."

They are even trying to hide it any more.

Projection.
We’re torn between Mao’s Cultural Revolution and the Third Reich.

Suspect you are giving them too much credit and they did not mean any such allusion and were not even aware of that old Nazi organization.

Also, I don't think "Joy" is a concept that either the Nazi party nor the Democrat party should be allowed to commandeer. It rings hollow when they use it in both cases.

At least the German KdF played a large part in bringing us the Volkswagen.

And I think you are giving them too much benefit of the doubt. They know exactly what they are doing and saying.

They might be aware of it. Hardcore leftists know their own ideology quite well.

Kamala would be perfect for starting up a new Joy Division.

Adolf named the car after KdF. Ferdinand Porsche apparently was the one who wanted it called “Volkswagen”.

On FR several weeks ago when the “Joy” was first touted by Walz.

Thanks for reposting it— the Nazi vacay plan for all the “workers” of the LEFTIST National Socialist German Workers Party.

Most do not know but at the start of the NSDAP- members were given a badge/pin which had TWO logos on it of equal size— The Hammer & Sycle of the Communists, and the Swastika (stolen from archeology of ancient India) of the real Party!

Why- because the number one recruiting target of the NSDAP Nazi Party was the farther LEFT way far- Communist Party which outnumbered the Nazis by millions. Some of the worst actors in the Nazi horrors were converted to Nazis from formerly being Communists. Example: People’s Court Judge/Prosecutor Roland Freisler who was a Bolshevik POW Camp Commisar and came to the Nazi Party on the extreme LEFT faction.

The Socialist/Communist Spectrum is all Leftist. And the Democrat Party is controlled by these elements, and are totalitarians.

It was Walz who introduced this— nationally. It was known to him, as he is quite clearly a Chi-Com groomed and cultivated ultra Socialist (btw of German background like so many who settled Minnesota. The main Democrat party in MN is the Farm-Labor Democratic Party— the party of Hubert Humphrey back then and still today).

One of the first episodes of The World At War, covered Strength Through Joy. Think it was called Prelude to War.

Narrated by Lawrence Olivier iirc. Quality work, a classic.

The ungodly Nazi, now the ungodly Democrat Left, perversion of scripture which says,

in [the Lord's] presence is fulness of joy (Psalm 16:11)

and

the joy of the Lord is your strength (Nehemiah 8:10).

It was also referred to at various times as “Volksauto” or “Kleinauto”, but the name Volkswagen eventually stuck, so that’s how I referred to it.

Small Wonder, by Walter Henry Nelson, is a good history of the Volkswagen.

Perverted application of scripture (see post #14).

The devil always works with half truth to trip up the gullible and unwary.

Time to know your Bible.

Yeah - the “joy” thing reminds me of Chinese propaganda more than Nazi stuff. I’m sure they all used the word often.

Also consider that they’re idiots — scumbags, but still idiots

If she wins, “Strength Through Joy” will become “Work Makes Free”.
