Chapter Subtitle: German Philosophers Like German Sausages
"So you've arrived in Munich?"
"Yes."
"So you spoke to the target?"
"Well... not yet."
“Not yet?” Lord Fool asked doubtfully, “You haven’t even spoken to him, and yet it’s like this?”
"We secretly went to the beer hall to listen to one of his speeches. I'm actually fine..." "Lady Fate" glanced at the silent "Lord Justice" and said, "But there's something wrong with Yuri."
"Is that so..."
Our Master Yuan glanced at Mr. Chandler, whose Aryan features were also very obvious, and said in his heart: Ach So!
Oh, so that’s how it is.
"Temperance" is indeed "His Highness Temperance", and he inspired the Aryan soul of "His Excellency Justice" with just one speech.
"An, please leave the group first. Let me talk to Yuri."
"Boom! Agent No. 2 is offline."
"Hahaha..." Yuan Yan suddenly burst into laughter.
He laughed and shook his head, and said in an exaggerated tone: "My God, my Major Chandler, are you scared by such a corporal?"
One thing must be made clear.
In fact, Hitler's highest military rank in German was Gefreite, which correctly translates to "reserve junior non-commissioned officer corporal." In the British and American armies, it's equivalent to Lance Corporal, a rank between corporal and private first class. But it still falls under the category of "soldier," not even a non-commissioned officer.
His immediate superior had once submitted a report to promote him to a real corporal, but the headquarters of the 16th Regiment of the Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment, where he served, did not agree. There are two theories: one is that his superiors thought he lacked leadership skills, and the other is that he was Austrian..
I really don’t know whether it is luck or misfortune for the Germans and the people of the world. These two points did not prevent him from becoming the head of the Third Reich.
However, this Austrian lance corporal was indeed awarded the Iron Cross First Class in 1918 for his bravery in combat, especially his performance in the Battle of the Somme, a medal rarely awarded to German soldiers.
The emperor's famous saying is true: a soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good soldier. No matter what, Hitler was a good soldier.
"Lord Fool..." "Lord Justice" slowly raised his head and said, "You don't have to provoke me so much. You know exactly why I'm acting this way. You've already reminded me several times..."
He sighed and said, "You told me to be careful of being called 'HU YOU', and you also told me to read more books..."
Our Master Yuan interrupted, "Oh, so have you read those books?"
"Well..." Mr. Chandler blushed and said embarrassedly, "I've seen a little bit..."
Lord Fool interrupted him again, saying with a look of disappointment, "That's it, my Lord Justice. Like I said, if you don't study for three days, you won't be able to catch up with Liu... you won't be able to become a true member of our SCP Foundation..."
"Read the works of your German philosophers Schopenhauer and Fichte, and also the works of your German philosophers Marx and Engels, and read them all with a critical eye..."
"You will gain immunity, mental immunity!"
There is one more point that must be made clear.
The German philosopher who had the greatest influence on Hitler was not "Superman" Nietzsche, but Schopenhauer and Fichte mentioned by Master Yuan.
Hitler's attitude towards Nietzsche can be best described as "taking advantage" of his teachings, because Nietzsche's teachings were very "cool" and also contained the bloodline theory and anti-Semitism that were favorites of the Hans at the time.
His favorite philosopher was probably Arthur Schopenhauer.
There is no need to introduce this person in detail. He was the first person in the history of Western philosophy to openly oppose rationalist philosophy, and he pioneered irrationalist philosophy. He was also the founder of voluntarism.
Nazi ideology itself is a mixture of romanticism (irrationalism), local consciousness (even narrower than nationalism) and social Darwinism, and the heroic historical view that the petty bourgeoisie particularly likes.
Therefore, not only were the "neo-Nazis" in the West like wildfire that could not be extinguished, but even the German fans on the Internet in a certain big country in the East were revived, one wave after another.
This is exactly the opposite of Hegel, whom Schopenhauer opposed, who pursued rationalism and universalism.
Why is Nazism the natural enemy of Communism?
Because communism, which inherits Hegel's universalism, is indeed a very universal doctrine.
Liberating all mankind, isn’t this universal enough?
Hitler was very fond of Schopenhauer since he was a child. When he was young, he often quoted his famous sayings to show off. For example, where is love in the world? It is just the reproductive impulse.…
Anyway, he read Schopenhauer's collection of essays to pieces during his four years on the Franco-German front.
One more point needs to be clarified. Some people say that what he has been reading in recent years is Schopenhauer's most famous work, The World as Will and Representation.
Our Master Yuan can guarantee that it is definitely not the case, because he, a master of economics, could not quite understand this book... Well, anyway, it is unlikely that a high school dropout can understand such a difficult philosophical work.
After all, Hitler and Yuan Yanshu were not geniuses like Einstein who could read "Critique of Pure Reason" at the age of 13.
The philosopher who had the greatest influence on Hitler was probably Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762-1814).
Fichte is less famous than Hegel, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche, but he is also very important in the history of philosophy and is generally regarded as a transitional figure from Kant to Hegel.
Prussian philosophers are like their sausages, one stick after another.
However, he influenced Hitler not as a philosopher, but as the "father of German nationalism."
In 1806, when Berlin was occupied by Napoleon, Fichte published several "Speeches to the German Nation" in an attempt to inspire Prussian nationalism. This should be the earliest work of romantic nationalism.
In these articles, he argued that the German nation was superior to other nations.
In other of his early works, he claimed that Jews would erode Germany and openly expressed his hope that Jews would be expelled from Germany.
He also expressed disgust for Poland, declaring their culture barbaric and the Poles to be uncivilized savages.
Fichte's economic view was that a nation should control international relations, the value of its currency, and maintain a state of self-sufficiency.
In other words, all the elements of Nazism were proposed by him as early as a hundred years ago, and all people like Hitler had to do was to "keep pace with the times."
It is obvious that this "Fichte-Hitlerism" that keeps pace with the times impressed Julian Chandler.
“Tap, tap, tap.”
"Dr. Yuan, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I'll be fine soon!"
Lord Fool said solemnly to the person on the other end of the video: "Listen, my Lord Justice. You are a natural-born pure-blooded Aryan and a former major in the U.S. Army, but you are now the Major Arcana of our SCP Foundation!"
"We at the SCP Foundation don't care about race or country. We care about all of humanity! We can proudly call ourselves the Internationale."
"You must now hold yourself to the standards of an internationalist. As an internationalist who takes the perspective of all humanity, you will find that person's theory ridiculously shallow."
"Remember, there will be a bunch of real theorists at your next stop, and if you don't read now you won't even be able to talk to them. "
"If you don't think you can get through this, then go back to New York!"
"So, go study!"
"Master Fool, I have another question..."
