Due to recent unfortunate events, I have decided to go sober for at least a month. AKA I've gotten wasted way too early in the day one too many times, and now my family think that I have problems. Let's hope I survive, gonna be the hardest thing I've done this year.

Maybe now that I'm not out getting drunk I will have more time to dedicate to art for reichblr.

Would straight up live off of a drink like that, breakfast lunch and dinner

I keep seeing these photos of Nazis picking flowers. I wonder if this was for any events, or just to decorate their homes, or whether they just seemed to enjoy picking flowers in their past time? I don't blame them, I suppose. Flowers are nice. Not usually the first thing I associate with Nazis, of course

Father trauma... Imagine being bad at school and the teachers go 'Damn, must be daddy issues, did you hear that his father liked to torture children?'

Was just told that my boots were shiny enough to be in the SS. On one hand I'm flattered, and I'm glad that all of the time I put into polishing my boots pays off. On the other hand, I'm hoping that doesn't mean I give off Nazi vibes. Actively trying to avoid that.

Decided to print some pictures off, because clearly having a collection of Third Reich drawings, books, and even a doll isn't enough.

Some elegant, high quality ones:

And then the awkward shitty grainy ones:

I love them so much, they're such bad pictures. Why does Heydrich always look like that. Like a hamster that someone forgot to feed, or a dog who's owner forgot to let them back in from the garden. Just slightly sad, awkward, and like he has a head full of hay.

One thing which I'm realising more and more is how much I love humanity, and how grateful I am for human civilisation. As an early teenager, I hated it. Sure, I saw beauty in our art and history, but I was revolted at the suffering which we could cause. Nowadays however, I see it as a part of us. We can be violent animals, sadists, and cause pain. We also find beauty in that, and have the power to turn both our love and agony into something special. I've started praying again, and returned to Catholicism. The religion which caused me so much guilt as a child, I've realised, was only because of the people around me who wanted to use my faith as a means to control. Now I think I understand. The story of Adam and Eve was never about misogyny or manipulation, but about human curiosity. A part of us which we cannot deny. It can harm us, we suffer the consequences, but in the end—isn't that just the beauty of life? The uncertainty, the chaos, and how we persevere?

It's funny. I used to feel so guilty about my attraction to *ahem* certain historical figures. Now I realise that it's their humanity, their effect on culture, and how we react that was interesting to me. How I react to them.

I don't know what the future will hold for me. I don't know whether my life will follow the perfect little plan which I've built for it. What I do know however, is that I can find some sort of appreciation, a silver lining, for each moment that it holds. Even though my family, my culture, have suffered at the hands of Nazis, and we're still affected by the remnants of their regime today, at least I can find knowledge and explore my curiosity about the human condition through a greater, more personal way through their history.

Hating the world is tiring. I'm done with all of that. As much as I think that purpose is one of the great motivators of life, purpose through hatred will only harm yourself and those around you. I guess this is a new chapter for me, to focus on my art, career, and general ambitions. About time.

I think that I finally understand why Eva Mozes Kor forgave him.

Today I was talking to my friend about an entirely 3rd Reich unrelated topic, and one of my other mates walks up and asks "Is this about that Nazi you have a crush on?" Motherfucker. What. I am not that obvious. Or clearly, I thought I was not that obvious. I mean, he knows the I hate the fuckers but clearly I get a little too excited dropping facts or talking about whichever new biography I've just started reading. I gotta stop running my mouth about my hyperfixations whenever I get drunk, although that would require me to stop getting drunk, which isn't happening any time soon.

As much as I hate the rat, I've gotta admit that he has dainty ankles. And he's interesting to study, too.

Finally got over my art block!

He's genuinely so happy here, I wonder what made him that way

Is there a reichblr discord server?

I've heard about several, although I'm not actually part of any of them since they seem to attract drama, and I'd rather stay out of it

I think it's about what people want to believe, and how they cherry-pick the evidence they read rather than looking at things objectively, due to their own internal biases.

A lot of Nazi sympathisers/apologists/neo-Nazis are also Holocaust deniers, because they love this idea of a "traditional, moral utopia" where all you have to do to qualify is be white (which isn't true, although of course many neo-Nazis today are actually white Americans who are desperate for some sort of culture, which America largely lacks due to being so young). To have this utopia of course, a place where good hardworking families live traditionally and prosper how they "should", genocide would definitely put a damper on that. Therefore they deny themselves the truth of the Holocaust, the truth of genocide, and the truth that nearly everybody was negatively affected due to Nazi policies during WWII, not just Jewish people (not to say that they didn't suffer the most).

I suppose it's difficult to admit to yourself that someone who you may agree with on some level, who you think had some genuinely good ideas, who you may even idolise, committed such atrocities. It's a sign that Nazi propaganda and many of the myths which they spread still directly affect society today. These people also tend to be conspiracy theorists, and are tapped into some questionable online sources. Conspiracy theorists aren't stupid per say for ignoring historical evidence, they are just desperate to feel special, unique, and to be part of a larger community of like-minded individuals. This desperation makes them easy targets for those spreading propaganda, as they will believe anything if it allows them to feel included yet unique, and smarter or better than the others around them in society.

As Goebbels said, "Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident they are acting on their own free will."

If a person in the modern day sees something like this and feels yearning and inspiration, if they are already mentally vulnerable, they are more likely to say the most outlandish things trying to deny history rather than admit that their perfect Aryan traditional family-values utopia will never happen, because its history is drenched in blood.

Of course, I am not describing all neo-Nazis here, because they do exist in countries outside of America, and there are many who admit to the existence of Nazi war crimes and will actively support them, and support the Holocaust. The reason why Nazism is still so pervasive today is because there are so many various aspects of it that different people relate to/appreciate, whether they are more explicitly rooted in hatred or not.

Completely random question. But how do some people deny the Holocaust? The evidence is everywhere. The history, people, witnesses, testimonies...literal CAMPS. Like. I'm just saying.
