More, More, More Interview Videos
People might wonder why I do all these videos with Brian Ruhe, the so-called “Nazi Buddhist,” reviled and ostracized by all left-thinking PC progressives who know of him. Well, it’s mainly because I feel like it.
Besides, I am willing to talk with anyone, so long as the conversation is in good faith, with some sincere desire for an honest exchange of views. Hell, I’d even sit down and talk with a feminist neo-Marxist so long as the person really wanted to communicate more or less reasonably—and I certainly don’t mean by “reasonably” that the other person has to agree with me. I don’t agree with Brian Ruhe on quite a few points either. But that’s OK.
For example, I’m not a Nazi or National Socialist, I don’t think Adolf Hitler was a particularly good or wise person (though he was no worse than a great many other great leaders, and was responsible for less murder than, say, Stalin), and I have very little use for ideas of space aliens infiltrating our world and collaborating with Jews to hold dominion over it, etc. Nevertheless, we can disagree on some points and remain agreeable. Also I would point out that Mr. Ruhe also appears to be willing to communicate with anyone in good faith, and consequently spends a lot of time being howled at by lefties on the streets of Vancouver B.C.
Brian is an interesting fellow, and in addition to being a devout Hitlerist he’s even more devoutly a Theravada Buddhist. Consequently he takes very seriously the teachings in the Buddhist texts about loving kindness, gentleness, compassion, non-violence, and honesty. One interesting thing about him is that, although he is an unabashed Nazi (or rather National Socialist) who literally reveres Hitler as a god, he is clearly morally superior to the indoctrinated leftists freaking out at him in public places, occasionally even physically assaulting him, several hysterical episodes of which can be viewed on Brian’s Bitchute channel. He’s been more or less banished from YouTube, as well as a number of other platforms.
Anyway, I’ve considered writing in more detail about our politically incorrect association and friendship, so I probably will, so long as Herr Ruhe doesn’t mind.

ReplyDeleteI think I sent you an email a while ago, have you received it yet?
> For example, I’m not a Nazi or National Socialist,
Good to know. Neither am I. I think it'll take an outsider to bring the movement back to it's Spartan roots.
> I don’t think Adolf Hitler was a particularly good or wise person (though he was no worse than a great many other great leaders, and was responsible for less murder than, say, Stalin),
Why is that?

Was this made clear on his site? Fixation on the instrument without distinguishing between the higher power utilizing the instrument can be disastrous.
> he is clearly morally superior to the indoctrinated leftists freaking out at him in public places, occasionally even physically assaulting him, several hysterical episodes of which can be viewed on Brian’s Bitchute channel.
He seems better off than Matt Koehl and even me, since I cannot muster the strength to advance my ideals in public.
Yes, I received multiple emails from you a while back, but it was a daunting mass of info and questions, and so I procrastinated.
DeleteWhy is what? Why was Hitler responsible for less murder and mayhem than Stalin? Why was he not particularly good and wise? Why was he no worse than, say, Valentinian the Great or Richard the Lionheart? I dunno.
The website for the Thule Society (aka the Thule Contemplative Society of Hitler) makes the position towards the Führer fairly clear.
I see.
DeleteWhy was he not particularly good and wise? Are you alluding to his military mistakes, his decision to remain behind in Berlin, or whta?
I'll have to consider adding a critique for Thule Society then, but it seems benign at present.
For starters, ANY powerful leader is very unlikely to be a saint. From a Buddhist perspective even to be willing to order troops into battle, or to order the killing of anyone, is not good. My impression is that, like many great leaders, Hitler was somewhat of a narcissist who was out for self-glorification even at the cost of many thousands of lives. He had enough sense to realize that the best way to glorify himself was to lead his nation to greatness, but then he wound up losing the war. He was certainly not an honest person, and did not keep his word. Also, at the end he was willing to sacrifice all of Germany rather than humiliate himself by allowing surrender. I could go on, but the point is that he was ruthlessly into power, even if he did have a sincere desire to unify and uplift the German peoples.
Delete> For starters, ANY powerful leader is very unlikely to be a saint.
DeleteThen what was Dag Hammarskjold?
> From a Buddhist perspective even to be willing to order troops into battle, or to order the killing of anyone, is not good.
Scriptures which back up this assertion?
> My impression is that, like many great leaders, Hitler was somewhat of a narcissist who was out for self-glorification even at the cost of many thousands of lives.
As long as the current state of affairs remains a glorification of war, the career and "greatness" of political leaders and military commanders can be justified. Nothing great in this world can be accomplished without a dose of egoism. Altruism could alternatively be described as an ennobled egoism.
If Hitler was a narcissist like Trump, then he should have surrounded himself with family members yet he shunned his nephew Patrick and criticized Napoleon for nepotism in his Table Talk.
> He had enough sense to realize that the best way to glorify himself was to lead his nation to greatness, but then he wound up losing the war.
According to his own words, it would have been enough to confine himself to the position of a practical politician (Donald Trump) or even a political planner/philosopher (Goethe). Instead, like Mohammed, Luther, and Wagner, he chose to merge the two vocations together.
> He was certainly not an honest person, and did not keep his word.
As a politician, he necessarily made recourse to propaganda (an euphemism for lying), but he was otherwise wholly consistent in his views. Erich von Manstein (who was one of the few generals who dared opposing Hitler) and Hans Baur furnish examples of him assuming often unqualified responsibility. Bizarrely, in Hitler's view, his suicide was him taking responsibility for the whole war.
> Also, at the end he was willing to sacrifice all of Germany rather than humiliate himself by allowing surrender.
An account which primarily comes from the defeatist Albert Speer. What about Hitler's other architect Hermann Giesler?
Hitler was afforded plenty of opportunities to escape from Berlin and there were plenty of sympathetic foreign circles to asylum him. Hitler's decision to remain in Berlin differs from what Churchill or Stalin might have done. From his pov, Churchill would have fled beyond the Atlantic and Stalin to China.
The pacifists who demand that Hitler should have risked his life and limb on the battlefield should apply the same standards to De Gaulle, who was called out by his own allies for seeking refuge in London.
> I could go on, but the point is that he was ruthlessly into power, even if he did have a sincere desire to unify and uplift the German peoples.
Power and necessity go hand-in-hand. To be ruthless in war and punishment is more humane than a pointlessly drawn out bloodbath or trial.
Nothing do they fear more as being cross-questioned by one perceived as knowing, seeing, aren't they? Did nobody ever wondered why so less monks fear the cross-questioning of monks?
