LeMaquis Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Adolf Hitler is dead and ,if you are religious,was not a god,so how can anyone worship him ? Your old mate Jordan Pont was on here recently giving it quite a bit of pro-Adolf worship so why don't you ask him? Jesus is dead too and he wasn't a god either. Are you saying Christianity should be irrelevant on that score? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 However I do think it is true that before he brought chaos to the world a great many people, particualrly Germans, did "worship" him. They saw him as the man who would lead them from defeat to greatness as the man who would make Germany into a new Rome. Some people think the same today of Nick Griffin. Some people are mad.

Mister M Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Having had a chance to re read the list I would say that some of the myths outlined are not just believed by the far right. Some people for example who have fairly moderate opinions believe (and are encouraged to believe by tabloids) that it is white, able bodied, straight men that are disadvantaged; and all those other groups that have 'protected status or characteristics, have all the advantages handed to them on a plate.

melthebell Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Adolf Hitler is dead and ,if you are religious,was not a god,so how can anyone worship him ? you really will argue the toss over issues of the far right wont you? ok if worship is the wrong word how about idolise? look up to? i know for a fact a lot of far right supporters do idolize hitler, a lot do read mein kampf as tho its some sort of bible and these people are members of all sorts of groups not just one take the group combat 18, where do you think theyre name comes from? quotes taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_18 The 18 in its name is derived from the initials of Adolf Hitler: A and H are the first and eighth letters of the Latin alphabet Logo derived from the Totenkopf used by the 3rd SS Panzer Division of the Waffen-SS. Combat 18 (C18) is a neo-Nazi organisation associated with Blood and Honour, the BNP and the National Front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that not all those who espouse this idea are extremists. One sees it quite regularly on here - as in the recent thread entitled 'Why does discrimination still exist' or somesuch - but it's certainly a characteristic of far right thinking.

And the scary thing is that people who hold such opinions think they are mainstream. It just shows how far to the right the pendulum has swung in this country.

melthebell Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 and on the wiki page about nick griffin and the bnp i give you Tyndall founded the BNP in 1982, but his "brutal, streetfighting background" and admiration for Hitler and the Nazis had prevented his cause from acquiring any political respectability.[33] In his 1999 leadership campaign, Griffin embarked on a strategy to make the party electable, by taking it away from Tyndall's extremist image Writing for The Rune, Griffin praised the wartime Waffen SS and attacked the Royal Air Force for its bombing of Nazi Germany,[123] and in 1996 during a public demonstration at Coventry Cathedral he accused British airmen of "mass murder".[124] Although unconnected, on 9 June 2009 the Royal British Legion wrote an open letter to Griffin asking him not to wear a poppy lapel badge.[1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediumfast Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 No - it is wrong, totally. Part of English culture, is that the English are generally liberal minded and tolerant of others - This tolerance seem to have been exploited by certain minority groups (particulary the Hard Left) to impose their will on the majority. The biggest myth about the Far Right in England is that they actually exist in anything other than miniscule numbers..... It just suits the Hard Left to describe anyone that doesn't agree with them as "racists" "bigots" "reactionaries" and "whatever phobes" Would you please elaborate who the Hard Left are and how they impose their will on the majority:huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are lots out there how come they they never manage to drag in more than three men and a dog to vote for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to have done pretty well, although a coalition with the Lib Dems may be holding them back a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
