Feeding on the Faithful: How Supernatural Thinking Empowered the Third Reich

By Eric Kurlander

…alance between historiographical complexity/originality and accessibility, between exhaustively documented, archival-based primary research and a story-driven narrative unencumbered by too much nuance or detail. If I’ve erred a bit toward scholarly documentation, it is because the topic really deserved serious inquiry. I still worked to make the narrative and argument as accessible as possible. I hope that I have pulled it off. Are you hoping to j…

Hamburg Shooter’s Manifesto Reveals the Complexity of the Influence of Far-Right Ideologies

By Annika Brockschmidt

…fired up after an introductory lecture on theology and eschatology. The text seeks to explain God’s nature and the way the world works using diagrams, wildly convoluted interpretations of Bible verses, and a half-baked theory about the “hierarchy” of God, Jesus, angels and Satan. Apart from revealing the world’s gears and the hidden secrets of God and Jesus, the manifesto praises Trump, DeSantis and Putin as those doing God’s work, and sees God’s…

At Launch Rally in Waco, Former President Sets the Stakes for Trump ’24 Campaign with Apocalyptic, Violent, Genocidal Rhetoric

By Annika Brockschmidt & Thomas Lecaque

…pectacle, the “God, Guns and Trump” signs, and the red hats may create an exhilarating, even spiritual, experience for the audience. These are all remnants of a social uniform that allows members of the in-group to recognize one another, and fascism is a spectacle of aesthetics. Its events are choreographed to let the individual become part of the mass, the volk, the true patriots, the ones who are worthy—worthy of freedom, or of life itself (of c…

The Anti-Trans Hate Machine’s Conspiracies Don’t Stop at the US Border

By Annika Brockschmidt

…loid, who was fired after a New York Times investigation found claims of sexual harassment and inappropriate sexual relationships in the work place, had already attacked the cartoon. In what can only be described as an attempt to channel Tucker Carlson’s rants over M&Ms’ clothing and Mr. Potato Head’s genitalia, Reichelt had called the cartoon “Zwangs-Maus” (coercion-mouse) in March, because the kids’ show had aired a piece about trans rights. The…

‘We Remember a United States That Fought the Nazis’: A German Scholar of Fascism Weighs in on Christian Nationalism in the U.S.

By Andrew L. Seidel

…ou really call it Christian? They’re not real Christians.’ I get that reflex, it’s a good reflex to say that ‘white supremacists are not my people,’ but this fallacy, though it can be painful for that group, is something that needs sober analysis.” When I point out that the flip side of this fallacy is that anything a Christian does must also be good, she agrees, adding: “it’s a nice fallacy to have, really useful.” Author Annika Brockschmidt.

Mormons Fight Marriage Equality in Mexico; Is Catholic Church Italy’s Anti-Gay NRA?; Nigerian Anglicans Cut Ties With UK Diocese; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…Nigeria in early 2014. They note that the law not only criminalizes same-sex sexual activity, but also the “public show of same sex amorous relationship directly or indirectly.” In this context when a man gives a lingering hug to his brother or a woman walks with her arms around the shoulders of her sister, they could end up in jail. Furthermore, this law, though it has been billed as an anti-gay marriage law, prohibits ‘civil unions’ as well as f…

Closed-Door Conference in Poland Shows How US Conservative Christian Networks Export ‘Conversion Therapy’

By Antonia Gross and Rina Nikolaeva

…l orientation or gender identity can be changed, and that there are some sexualities that are better—or more natural, or healthier—than others. To put it simply: they were there to spread the ideology of so-called “conversion therapies,” practices discredited by practically every serious health organization worldwide. Some human rights NGOs even classify conversion practices as torture. In the US, conversion therapy has been banned in a number of…

As US Reaches a 1940s Fork in the Road — Which Path Will We Choose?

By John Stoehr

…s) In a recent thread, you said the J6 insurrection was a watershed moment between “paradigms.” Can you explain what you mean by “paradigms”? What does J6 have to do with them? A “paradigm shift” describes a major change in our lives. The term “status quo” describes a time when we have a shared understanding about how politics work, how economics work and how culture works. When a paradigm shift happens, the status quo changes. Paradigm shifts can…

Are Muslims as Dangerous as Nazis, as ESPN’s Curt Schilling Tweeted?

By Haroon Moghul

…ic.twitter.com/rK86wyZPmm — Arash Karami (@thekarami) August 25, 2015 As Vox’s Max Fisher notes, this is more offensive than it seems. Schilling not only suggested “the religion of Islam is akin to Nazi Germany,” but he got the relationship wrong. Whereas “Nazi-era Germans … overwhelmingly supported and fought for the Nazi regime,” Muslims “are the most likely to be killed by ISIS, and they are the most likely to actively fight ISIS.” For years no…

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s Legacy of Eugenics and Racism Can’t Be Ignored

By John P. Slattery

…orced eugenic practices. The hellish nadir of such practices was the mass experimentation on and extermination of millions of so-called “imperfect” people in Nazi Germany. The vast majority of the victims were Jewish, but the ranks of the oppressed included disabled persons, gays and lesbians, and political dissenters. Once the death camps were discovered in the mid-1940s, the Western world buckled in shock and horror. People fled from discussions…
