We're a new country with barely a little over 200 years of history, so we tied a powerful religion into our nationalist ideology to bolster popular sentiment

Americans are the best salesmen on earth.
When they decide to sell Christ, they really sell that shit.
Should the federal government pay reparations to the surviving descendants of war crimes committed against Southerners by Union troops during the Civil War?

"...the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
- Hermann Göring

Why do people still fall for Nazi Propaganda when Goebbels and Goring literally made statements on a regular basis admitting their techniques?
Is it called hiding in plain sight?

It's called human nature, understanding it doesn't make it any less influential.

All good books and literature that you recommend go in here. textbooks, novels, biographies. Anything! It's all welcome here
Also, can anyone recommend a good book about Rhodesia? Aimed more at the politics of it all rather than the bush war.

Is there any truth to the claim that Poland commited ethnic genocide on about 10,000 Germans which prompted Hitler to invade?

It's about as true as the holocaust or that Stalin killed tens of millions of people.

No, this is a neo-nazi propaganda meme constructed to try and shill the idea that Hitler was justified in their conquest of Poland
First of all, Hitler invaded because Poland refused to give him the Danzig corridor. And his pretext for invading was the "Gleiwitz Incident" in which the SS did false flag attacks on German radio towers and then blamed it on the Polish
Second, this "genocide" or "ethnic cleansing" is complete bullshit. The event in question is know as "Bloody Sunday" and it occurred after ethnic germans tried to attack the Polish military and more importantly, this happened 3 days AFTER the Germans had invaded (it occured on September 3rd, nazis invaded on September 1st) And even the highest casualty count by the Abwher themselves was 300. So no, this idea that 10,000 germans were executed by the Poles and that Hitler was simply defending them is complete and utter horseshit

Are pagan religions seeing a sudden revival and boost in popularity /his/? If so, why?
44 Posts / 7 Images

No, sadly.
They require reading source material and that's far beyond the vast majority of people who are religious in the first place. Given that pagan religions are dead this requires 1) leaving an existing religion (Again, the majority of Christians don't read the Bible, why would they read the Edda or Biblioteka?) or 2) an atheist """converting""" which never happens because once you become an atheist you never stop being one (Despite what LARPers will say about their latest fashion trend).

No, they're not seeing any sort of revival.
