 ==Nazi Analogies==
-Are the Wokefolk more like the Nazis or the Communists? It isn't really a question of what *they* are like so much as what the current situation is like. The Nazis took power legally over a two-year period. The Communists used military force. Both suppressed free speech, but the Communists did it more crudely, by putting dissidents in prison. At first, the Nazis could not do that. From 1932 to 1934 their tactic was to gradually infringe more and more on free speech, mainly using private action such as beatings, boycotts, and firings. That is the situation in America today.
+*It's interesting to imagine what Nietzsche would think of all of this.  He talked about how the weak and powerless hated the noble and honest, and used victim mentality and a morality of weakness to defeat them. Christianity was his prime example, tho a bad one I think. Hitler and the Nazis thought they were Nietzschean supermen, but they were actually good examples of his undermen, feeling victimized by the all-powerful Jews, intellectuals, and aristocrats, hating them, and using dirty tricks rather than open battle.  The socialist left has always been in the undermen category, full of hatred for their betters, who merely consider them a pitiful nuisance (till it's too late).   See [https://hxstem.substack.com/p/from-fascism-to-compascism-germanys/comments  "From Fascism to Compascism: Germany’s Bizarre Capitulation to Another Totalitarianism"] ''Heterodox STEM'' (2024).
 The main thing one thinks of with the Nazis is anti-semitism, though that was only part of their program. The wokefolk are anti-Israel, but not anti-semitic, I think.  Rather, they are anti-Asian and anti-White. Their racism is very similar to the Nazi beliefs, though, in that they believe that an evil race controls the economy and society and uses its power to oppress superior races.  They add to it the fact that many of them belong to the evil race--white men-- but that you can repent of your racial background and assume at least a second-class citizenship in the new order.  They also do differentiate among white men.  If you are Asian or Jewish, you are still in that race, but not so bad.  and if you are northern WASP that is pretty good also. The truly evil race are the   non-WASPs and the Southernern whites whether WASP or not.

 Steven Hindle, president of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada, the union representing DFO scientists, appeared on behalf of scientists throughout the department who feared the repercussions of speaking out themselves. He described a “climate of intimidation and mistrust” within DFO, saying that the department suppressed data, ignored or diluted scientific advice, prevented scientists from publishing or speaking publicly about their findings, and threatened the career advancement and even the jobs of dissenters (SCOFO 1998a, 1010-25).
