Michel Houellebecq: "A civilization which legalizes euthanasia loses all rights to respect"
I will not dwell on the latest whim of Charline Vanhoenacker, a comedian with an invariable ideological geometry on public service radio, who believed comical and effective to draw Adolf's mustaches under the nose of an Eric Zemmour who we know the origins.
But from this last whim, amply derided, I would like to use a pretext to reflect on this mania that I have always considered, in all my writings, as the matrix origin of all our follies.
I have long maintained that the hysterical as well as systematic Hitlerization of political and societal life has led not only to an impoverishment of thought but also and above all to a real decerebration of minds.

In France, the “
CRS-SS
” of May 68 symbolically symbolized the instrumentalization by the rising leftism of the Hitlerism fantasized to disqualify the right-wing opponent. Total disqualification requires no discussion. In a way, Hitlerization goes through hysterization. I would add that under the ideological cobblestones of '68 we find another key to understanding a fantasy explaining the current madness: "
We are all German Jews
" cried the so-called rebels to the old conservative order without risk. Behind the support for the expelled Cohn-Bendit lurked a new unthought: falling victim to the hated system was an enviable quality that it was noble and courageous to boast about.Quality-victimization was born.
Of course, these brainless were in no way aware of their indecency.
They did not understand how obscene the comparison of the Gaullist regime with the Nazi regime, the comparison of the French policeman (0 dead among the demonstrators in 68) with the SS, was for French Gaullism and for the Jewish misfortune and sparked revisionism.
Dupont Lajoie, the racist anti-immigrant beau and SOS Racisme were announced.
They could not foresee either that the brainless would create over time and with the incessant and obsessive use of this obscene comparison a complete loss of intellectual and moral benchmarks.

I have in fact maintained for a long time that the hysterical as well as systematic Hitlerization of political and societal life has led not only to an impoverishment of thought but also and above all to a real decerebration of minds.
What has been learnedly called
reductio ad Hitlerum
made Nazism become the unsurpassable horizon of the detestable.
Any other comparison is bland.
Hitler or nothing.
Any critical half-measure almost becomes a compliment for your criticism opponent.
It will be noticed that one compares to Adolf Hitler only white males and not exotic executioners.
Gilles-William Goldnadel
But the other consequence of the obsession with World War II and the Jewish genocide is of incalculable consequence for the ailing West and mainly explains his illness: it resulted in unspeakable and unconscious shame of the white man of 'having in common the same skin color as the modern Antichrist of the post-Christian Western world, I named Adolf Hitler. And we can notice that we only compare white males to him and not exotic executioners. All the current declining anti-white racism and the difficulty of naming it reside in this insane fantasy at the origin of the Western decline. Insane and perverse: reason why, the obsessive and cruel system gone mad has been working to Nazify the Western-style nation-state of the Jews. Tragic anachronism:the defenseless Jew in striped pajamas is experienced in the collective unconscious as an adored metic, the Israeli armed like a squared white. Therefore doubly abhorred.
But it seems that we are gradually coming out, but how badly, of this systemic fantasy of which we do not perceive the cause but of which we see the deadly effects. Reason why, those - and that - who continue to use wrongly and through the imbecile system described by Godwin are now singled out.
