I am driven to write this post not to raise the alarm but to ask questions. It is for the reader to decide whether to worry or to ignore these questions.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0victors of World War 2 intended Germany and Japan to not become threats again. Today, we are told it’s all in the past, the Germans and Japanese are good guys, and even Nazis can be part of a healthy democracy<\/em><\/p>\n In Ukraine, NATO and the European Union have been drawn into an informal alliance with neo-Nazis. This is acknowledged by the present leadership of Ukraine, insofar as they know it to alienate and provoke Russian elements of their own population in eastern regions like Donetsk and Lugansk\u00a0into reacting with disgust towards them – which in turn allows them to justify murdering ethnic Russians in Ukraine. The rehabilitation of Nazi ideology in Europe with European approval\u00a0is also a symptom of something potentially more consequential and far-reaching that needs to be addressed.<\/p>\n In Japan, the Abe government has been similarly taking the tolerance of the Chinese to its limits by attempting to restore Japanese militarism, building up its armed forces to levels unseen since China suffered under Japanese occupation and unspeakable atrocities. Many people dismiss the Russians as overreacting to the Nazis in Ukraine and, see the Chinese fears of Japan as outdated and silly. Western\u00a0impatience with\u00a0the visceral\u00a0anti-fascist\u00a0worldview\u00a0of Russia and China (as well as their continued prestigious seats on the UN Security Council as agreed among World War 2’s victors) is growing, and it seems to be in concert with the impatience brewing in western political systems against what is slammed always as “political correctness”.<\/p>\n More and more people in western countries are starting to think\u00a0that the anti-fascist “politically correct” global consensus epitomized by the UN Security Council (the victors of the Second World War) and the Universal Declaration of\u00a0Human Rights is old-fashioned. And indeed, such things can become old-fashioned. The Nazis have been the greatest villains at one time, but that time has passed. Or at least it seems so. Hitler today is becoming more and more of a comical figure or a caricature out of history, similar to Guy Fawkes<\/a> or the legendary pirate Edward “Blackbeard” Teach<\/a> (we need only look at the Hitler memes and parodies throughout the Internet to realize this).<\/p>\n Hitler and Nazism\u00a0are\u00a0losing appeal in the popular psyche as the epitomes\u00a0of evil that they\u00a0were\u00a0made out\u00a0to be after 1945. It is inevitable that future generations will no longer feel greatly insulted by being compared to Hitler, but will in fact find the comparison quaint, much like being compared with Guy Fawkes or Edward Teach (these two were utterly reviled\u00a0as the epitome of evil\u00a0after their demise, much like Hitler, but in the modern day Guy Fawkes masks and pirate symbols have become nothing more than icons of defiance rather than an attempt to actually imitate\u00a0the deeds of those men). One of the sadder consequences is that people will dismiss\u00a0the Holocaust and other Nazi crimes or even recreate Nazi Parties in the future, and are likely to escape punishment.<\/p>\n The NATO-neo-Nazi axis in Ukraine: The BlogThe Daily Agenda, a British dissident blog, has drawn attention to … http:\/\/t.co\/RinKWSCIqw<\/a><\/p>\nIs Nazism now an irrelevant and harmless detail in modern politics?<\/h2>\n
