It is well known that he used anti-Capitalist rhetoric, conspiracy theories, and his own twisted view of Christianity; yet there seems to be NOT A SINGLE INSTANCE where he used Evolution as an excuse to kill Jews.
“My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice. And as a man I have the duty to see to it that human society does not suffer the same catastrophic collapse as did the civilization of the ancient world some two thousand years ago — a civilization which was driven to its ruin through this same Jewish people.” Adolf Hitler
See what a shoddy tactic guilt by association is when it is our own ox that is being gored?
Was “Darwinism” responsible for the many pogroms against Jews that took place throughout European history?
What the word “ghetto” invented only after Darwin, as a word to denote where to allow the Jews to live?
Was the word “pogrom” only invented after Darwin to denote the widespread practice of European “Christians” killing of Jews?
Hitler inherited a great tradition of hating and killing Jews that went on long before Darwin published his Scientific theory.
First, Hitler was not a Christian, at least not after age 13. He rejected it for the ideas of Neitsche and Schopenaur, and for Occultism. Hitler, was of course, a genius at propaganda and manupulation, and so he used Christianity to advance Naziism within Germany’s mostly Christian population.
Yes, there were pogroms against the jews before Darwinism, but Darwinism was used as the foundation for the worst one, the Holocaust. Even Steven J. Gould admits that. Also, it wasn’t just Jews that were exterminated it was everyone that Nazis thought inferior. And it was not just killing them, it was experimenting with them for various reasons not the least of which was advancing the cause of the ubermensch.
Darwinism provided the foundation for eugenics and eugenics provided the foundation for Race Hygiene. Addtional info about Hitler and eugencis can be found at the link.
