New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 120

What happened in Germany from the early 1920s through 1945 is one of the greatest atrocities in human history. It was so bad, in fact, that it became a symbol of ultimate human evil eclipsing even Communism. This had its benefits, but it also presents a weakness. "Never forget" became "we forgot." In knowing that the Nazi Experiment was abjectly evil, we lost sight of why and how it was evil. To remedy this, James Lindsay, host of the New Discourses Podcast and New Discourses Bullets, has begun a sprawling podcast series on the "Nazi Experiment" (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/06/the-nazi-experiment-vol-1-the-nazi-racial-worldview/) you won't want to miss. This episode of New Discourses Bullets introduces the series, its rationale, and its unique framing. Since Never Again is now, this is crucial listening.

Introducing the Nazi Experiment

Aprile 1945. Mentre l'Italia è lacerata da una guerra civile, sulle cime innevate di La Thuile, al Colle del Piccolo San Bernardo, accade qualcosa di straordinario. 

Di fronte all'avanzata dell'Armée des Alpes francese, decisa a conquistare la Valle d'Aosta, soldati italiani che fino a un giorno prima erano nemici scelgono di combattere fianco a fianco.

In quel gelido fronte, non contava più il colore della divisa, ma solo la fratellanza nata nel fango e nella neve, contro un nemico comune.

Questo brano è un omaggio al loro sacrificio, un racconto di un'unità d'intenti nata nella più cupa delle tragedie.

Questa volta ho usato il martello dell'epic metal per Raccontare la Battaglia.

DEATH FUGUE, on a poem by Paul Celan

Being that we're both students of history, we're going to leave the numbers aside today and talk about the parallels between today's political climate and what daily life was like in 1939. It was the beginning of World War II. There is a similar sense of foreboding and worry. 

So today lets look at the current geopolitical conditions and their historical parallels with 1939 including rising power, nationalism and anxiety.
