Does National Socialism have any truth or relevance to it?

Being proud of your own heritage is fundamentally retarded.

Why?

I think you can be proud of your heritage without hating or discriminating against others. If you can do that, I don't see the problem with it.

 

[General Zaroff]

Fuck Socialism.

Whether or not there's a "problem" (i.e. causing you to hate other people) with pride in your race or what have you is irrelevant to whether or not it's stupid.

That's how I see it. To give yourself a sense of pride in something harmless serves more to benefit a positive view on life, which is too hard to achieve in a culture of skeptics.

What do you mean by heritage?
For me, being of 3 or 4 backgrounds of ancestors but for this example I'll use the Irish one, well I never went to Ireland, don't know much about it, doesn't seem that interesting of a place to me compared to other more "majestic" places. If my family hadn't told me I wouldn't have knew and would've went on my way as what I essentially am, an American Mutt. I'm not saying it's wrong to be proud of one's heritage, rather racial pride is a dangerous thing, but as an American of a few backgrounds, you tend to rarely ever focus on your ancestral background.

Just because you don't care about your ancestral background doesn't mean nobody does.
I think even racial pride is ok, if you don't discriminate or hate other races. Obviously, this is probably not possible for the majority of people who are proud of their race.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Fuck Socialism.

[The Ozzman]

National Socialism is totally fucked IMO,some bands who create some great music spoil it by projecting these attitudes,but i can ignore it i guess

 

[MetalAges]

Thread cleaned - I don't think I need to name names on who to chill.

 

[cookiecutter]

National Socialism is not socialism

 

[The Ozzman]

Both philosophies suck though imo

 

[cookiecutter]

I understand that people care for their ancestral backgrounds, I didn't say anywhere that it was a bad thing to do so, I was actually interested if you had been proud of having a Confederate Southern heritage as opposed tot the usual ancestral one, since that is the most common form of heritage pride where we both live and it seems most of us Southerners here don't put a lot of emphasis on ancestral heritage or pride since we don't live as ethnic groups(Italian, French, etc..) like some people do.
