The Validity of Hitler’s Followers: Beyond the Stereotypes

The Common Misconception: Hitler’s Follower Base

When exploring the rise of the Nazi regime under Adolf Hitler, a common misconception is that his followers were mere morons or individuals without intelligence. This belief is fundamentally flawed. The reality is vastly different and far more troubling.

High-IQ Followers: A Closer Look

Historical evidence suggests that Hitler’s supporters were far from unintelligent. In fact, many of the key figures within the Nazi hierarchy were highly intelligent and well-educated. This contradicts the prevalent notion of a mindless, brainwashed following.

For instance, individuals such as Joseph Goebbels, Reinhard Heydrich, and even Albert Speer were not merely followers; they were leaders in their own right, and they possessed considerable intellect. While the SA (Sturmabteilung) Brownshirts were often associated with violence, the core of the Nazi party was far more sophisticated and intellectually driven.

IQ and Intelligence of the Nazi Elite

Post-war assessments of leading Nazis revealed an averaged IQ ranging between 120 to 140. This places them within the highly-intelligent category. Not only were they intense in their pursuit of the regime's goals, but they also maintained a high level of intellectual engagement. Their memberships in the Nazi party included many of Germany's intellectual elite, including medical doctors, literates, and industrialists.

Implications for Modern Society

The parallels drawn between contemporary UK society and the pre-Nazi era of Germany are concerning. The UK establishment's embrace of woke culture, racial discrimination, and the marginalization of traditional Western values have created a fertile ground for similar ideologies to take root.

Examples such as Kate Forbes being marginalized due to her Christian views, whilst Muslim leader Humza Yousaf is supported, illustrate a clear divide. Additionally, calls for the implementation of Sharia law by figures like Anjem Chaudary highlight a fracturing of societal values.

Furthermore, mainstream media and government institutions have created echo chambers that isolate and silence opposing viewpoints, much like the Nazi propaganda machine. This has led to a disconnection between the elite and the majority, who continue to hold traditional values.

The Dangers of Isolation and Misinformation

The current state of UK society, characterized by the elite's control over media and institutions, has echoes of the pre-Nazi Germany. Just as Hitler capitalized on the frustrations and disillusionment of the populace, the UK's leadership may unwittingly be fostering a dangerous precedent.

Closing Thoughts: The Path Ahead

The UK faces a critical juncture, akin to the choices made in 1920s Germany. The future may lead to the destruction of Western values or the rise of a new demagogue. Alternatively, there could be a mainstream political party that actively seeks to challenge the current power structure. However, this seems unlikely given the current dynamics.

The lesson from history is clear: underestimating your opponents and the intellectual capacity of their followers can be perilous. Understanding and addressing these issues before they escalate is paramount for the future of society.
