Is there such a thing as a Nazi personality and how would you characterize the people who have it?

Question

I have asked the Q precisely because it is overused and because I want to know what is meant by it when it is said or how it is understood when heard.

20 Answers as of 081022006, and they are all over the map.

Answer 1

I cannot stand the current disposition to overuse the term Nazi.

The Nazis systematically murdered 6 million Jews as well as any group deemed unworthy of the master race including:

* Homosexuals
* Anyone with developmental delays
* Anyone with physical abnormalities. If you were lucky you were only gassed. If you were a twin, you and your sibling were subjected to unspeakable experimentations in the name of "science"
* Gypsies
* Transients, displaced and dispossesed

The war with Russia was designed to both conquer more lands as well as to enslave slavic peoples, who were judged to be inferior.

This is a unique and horrific evil.

Yet now, this word is thrown around towards any group that one disagrees with.

And this shouldn't happen. It cheapens the word.

Answer 2

That's a good question. I think it might be important to look at just how the Nazi party flourished in Germany. After the 1st World War Germany was crippled financially and much of her former glory was taken away in the Treaty Of Versailles which took the Rhineland from Germany and crippled her militarily. The economy collapsed as a result of the lack of support the Allies gave her after reconstruction. People were paying a million Deutches Marks for a loaf of bread. The entire thing was entirely disheartening and the people were looking a reason to believe in something new. Hitler and Himmler provided that. Do some homework on it, don't just take my word for it. Read Churchill, Hitler, Eisenhower, and Einstein. Oh, and look at how the FBI profiles people...that will help.

Answer 3

No. There isn't.

If you talk to psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, you have to remember these were people who use to cut parts of peoples' brains out and submit them needlessly to drugs, electro shock causing all kinds of damage, because it was thought ...
" therapeutic. "

If you talk to a political echo, it depends how the political winds are blowing. In any event, you'll never hear the truth. Just the convenience.

If you go by Biblical teaching, it might indicate the Nazis were a divine, short term punishment on an evil world at large.

Then again, it might condemn the U.S. along with the rest of the countries of the world. Gog ... and Magog, to be precise.

I personally don't worry about Nazis. I focus on what's right, and allow what's evil to fully manifest itself.

As in: ' Cough! - cough! '

I understand there's a former F.B.I. man under indictment for passing information to gangsters resulting in murders.

Aldrich Ames - Former C.I.A. - still alive and well after precipitating two hundred executions of deep cover agents in the former Soviet Union. ( As long as we're doing acronyms. )

Answer 4

Not a Nazi personality. There is such thing as a fascist personality - people who believe that by opressing others in the name of the state it can bring about good (usually just for them). Take Bush for example...

Answer 5

The Devil and his followers who are the people in the world who don't believe in God who is Jesus have this Nazi personality. See Romans 3 They want to deceive as many people as possible so that they will suffer in the lake of fire forever. They are just like the Nazis.

Answer 6

Unflinching chauvinism and flag waving. Identifying the enemy (used to be Jewish, now it is Arab/Muslim, both Semitic races). Considering the leader (bush or Hitler) almost godlike. Identifying with a religious cult (Nazi-ism, born Again christian).A feeling of superiority. feeling righteous about the slaughter of the targeted group (Jews, Muslims)

Answer 7

I never heard of that.
I guess a person who wanted 2 wipe out a whole race they didn't like and take over the world?

Answer 8

Nazi personality in sex, it's the man who wants to have relations only with beautiful women.

Answer 9

Racist, braindead, uneducated beyond grade school level, ethnocentric, cannot reason, believes everything told him/her by authorities (those in power), glorify violence and killing, probably have very low self-esteem and need to boost it by thinking they're better than other people (hence their racism), intolerant, nationalistic, true believers--in other words, your typical George Bush supporter.

Answer 10

in popular culture yes, as in the soup nazi... anyone that controls something to a ridiculous extent... for instance I have a friend that has to be in control of the TV remote wherever he goes... we call him TV nazi
