The New American Religion

People don't get me when I say Esoteric Hitlerism is the most important religion in the world today.
I'm not saying "This is the future religion of America" I'm saying "This is ALREADY the majority religion of America"
Hitler is CURRENTLY the fount of all metaphysical, mystical, and moral reality in American life.
I visited my dad recently and he was watching a documentary on the Spear of Destiny, the Lance of Longinus, the spear that killed Christ. and Hitler's alleged possession of it by taking the sword of Charlemagne the Great (alleged to be the reforged spear, who with it conquered western Europe and converted much of it to Christianity)
The doc concluded with a metallurgical test that it could not have been forged in the first century ad, and therefore could not have been the spear that killed Christ... but it was maybe MORE important because it was the artifact with which Hitler symbolically solidified his reign and tied himself to Charlemagne, founder of the FIRST Reich (the Holy Roman Empire).
According the doc It didn't literally kill GOD, but it was maybe MORE important because it made HITLER.
Hitler is a bigger event than the Crucifixion according to Cable TV.
Everything in the western world is like that.

Jordan Peterson in one of his lectures tries to wrestle with the question of nihilism "Well you know some people might say nothing means anything, there is no right and wrong" before concluding that this is obviously false because THE HOLOCAUST, you know the holocaust was wrong, you have to. Well? don't you bucko!?
Not the love of a mother for her babe, not the transcendent majesty of a supremely insurmountable mountain, not the mystery and wonder of beautiful forests and women, nor the poetry of Homer or Dante, or the heroism of a faithful soldier willing to Martyr himself for his fellows... THE HOLOCAUST! obviously! is so metaphysically significant a moment it is sufficient to resolve the philosophical problem of Nihilism and fully debunk David Hume's Is/Ought dichotomy.
Somehow other mass murders don't have this effect. No other mass human sacrifices magically summoned resolutions to unsolvable philosophical conundrums.
The millions dead in Holomordor didn't summon a resolution to the problem of Identity and the continuity of consciousness... Mao killed almost 10 times as many as the holocaust... and yet the Ship of Theseus, the Ontological Argument, and the mind-body problem remain as mysterious as ever.
Hitler alone seems to reach into the metaphysical ether and like a Christ, Mohammed, or Buddha resolves and alters the timeless philosophical and metaphysical landscape via his temporal physical deeds.
Or at least this is what Americans and their theologians quite literally believe.
"Holocaust theology" is one of the fastest growing trans-sectional trans-religious schools of theological thought on todays academies. Transcending the barriers of not just religion but academic department. Usually a subset of theology would be out of place in a philosophy of history or ethics class... but not on my campus. Nor is it confined to one faith, usually Jewish, Christian, and Muslim theologians are quite jealous of not letting the theological doctrines of other faiths penetrate their own religions without scrupulous review and revision... yet one could see members of all three faiths lecturing even atheist, Buddhist, and Hindu students on the theological implications of the Holocaust in otherwise secular class on secular philosophical topics.
Hitler so transcends normal religious barriers.
Something which Americans seem to quite literally believe, given their very literal interpretations of certain mythological, historical and pop-cultural events and possibilities.
Hitler is variously attributed in serious, unserious, and hollywood settings, the possession of countless mythological and magical artifacts including no only the spear of destiny, but the arc of the covenant, the holy grail, and various alien and technological marvel... magical foreknowledge of events or other powers, unnaturally long life, surviving his apparent "death"... biological and other "superweapons" eerily reminiscent of famous biblical plagues... and many others.
Perhaps amongst the earliest prophets of this new faith was none other than Carl Jung whose Essay "Wotan" attributed to Hitler a terrible divine possession by none other than Odin himself, the spirit of the Germanic European peoples. It is an essay Jordan Peterson has remained suspiciously silent on despite being the most prominent proponent of Jung today.
However whereas the famous Canadian psychologist has tried to withhold its implications from already Hitler obsessed Americans, Neo-Nazi movements have worked very hard to create a neo-pagan religion of Hitler in the vein of Jung’s essay, with David Lane and Ron Mcvan of "The Order" Publishing several works promoting their "Wotansvolk" faith including (from the upcoming edition of my banned book list) "Temple of Wotan" and "Creed of Iron", works which according to some estimates have converted over 20-80 thousand Americans, only about 25% of whom were prison Nazis, to a Neo-Nazi version of norse paganism... Making it perhaps the fastest growing religion of the past 30 years.
Something which one might be tempted to dismiss as irrelevant and low class... Except for the fact the Christianity also started as a religion of prisoners and slaves, and much like Vocal Fry, Hood affectations, and other obnoxious accents and cultural artifacts, religious sects tend to start from the lowest levels of society then penetrate upwards... much the way aging upper-class white women now listen to rap.
.
But far more than this, explicit esoteric hitlerism like Jung's and McVan's has an inherently fertile populace to penetrate: Americans already believe Hitler is the most metaphysically important person in human history, in the way that an increasingly large cross section of Americans DO NOT believe in the significance of Christ or their own founding fathers.
in Mainline churches across the US one can, with considerable impunity, blaspheme God or Jesus with shockingly little social pushback, even standing in front of the Crucifix… but say the wrong thing about Hitler, violate THAT taboo, and people will fly into rages that you dare upset the metaphysical order of the world and violate their souls with your heresy.
Who is God but the man you can’t speak out of turn of?
.
As I've said: From marvel movies to History Channel docs, to scifi fiction, to video games, Americans already believe HITLER is the person most affiliated with the mystical, magical, metaphysical, and promethean dangerous divine and satanic possibilities of the human experience...
In a world rapidly demystifying of everything, the fact the American regime has set out to mystify and unconditionally reify the majesty and terror of one man has had a massive effect on the psyches of the western world.
Americans are already Esoteric Hitlerists, mostly they believe in a misotheistic conception of Hitler where he is the evil God of the modern world and of a human nature they are not supposed to engage with, to deny at all cost.
But that doesn't change the fact that for maybe hundreds of millions of Americans Hitler is a real, dangerous, live (if not living) God whose impact and danger they fear/taboo.
Whereas Yahweh and Christ, except for what is now a minority subset, are not.
This is why “Hyperborea” edits attributing alien technology, secret Antarctic civilizations, moon bases, and hollow earth Aryan viking lands to hitler’s discovery are such popular fodder for memes and various schizo edits…
It is basically what Americans already implicitly believe, that an evil alien civilization with superhuman levels of engineering, organization, and spergy German energy erupted onto the earth and then disappeared just as quickly back to their home planet. Their legends perfect for attributing or hand waving any and all unusual or ethically/historical complex realities away.
We're all Hitlerists now.

If Covid 19 taught us anything, it’s that Hitler didn’t need magic to propagate his reign of terror, he just needed to own the press. The people who wanted to kill the unvaccinated would have happily run the gas chambers. The people who are still wearing masks 4 years later would have happily walked into them.
The Holocaust (lit. burned whole) holds much the same function for modern western types as the Crucifixion did for medieval Christians. Just as Jesus died for the sins of the world mythologically, so the Jews of Eastern Europe died for the sins of the white man. This is how the object of sacrifice is raised to divinity and imbued with memetic power, and until this core issue is resolved psychologically, leftward drift on all issues is inexorable. Intellectual arguments about how Mao or Pol Pot or whomever was so much worse don't work, because true power is the power over narrative. Hitler himself was a meth-addled histrionic who led Germany to Ragnarök, and whose myth has been blown way out of proportion–not least by organised Jewry itself.
