The epistemology of nazism

[Majed]

For the nazi mind, race is ontological, and the Aryan race is the superior race, superior to let's say the Jewish race for example. And the morality comes the superiority of the race; the Aryan race is objectively better than the Jewish race. Look at this self-deception: if truth and goodness are defined by our race than everything that doesn't fit our race, including questioning it, is seen as false and evil. That's why the nazis relied on instincts and despised the intellect. Therefore, you get indoctrinated with nazi ideology, through conformity and group think, and the defense mechanism is that truth and goodness are entirely dependent on the Aryan race, hence deconstructing and questioning nazi dogmas, is seen as evil and the act of the intellect and like Hitler said: "intellect corrupt good character". And good character implies being an Aryan. See the strange loopiness of this thing. It's a form of circular reasoning. The nazi paradigm, lock it's adherents through this emotional manipulation tactic similar to how Christianity might say you shouldn't doubt God and you should have faith. But then the question becomes how do I know God exist? Well you aren't allowed to question because questioning the dogma is to listen to the devil. And see that's how christians paradigm lock themselves. We could talk a lot more on the self deceptions, the mechanics and tactics employed by the nazi mind, and i haven't finished contemplating it, therefore feel free to give your opinions and share your perspectives.

Nazism, or any ideology for that matter, is inherently false because it reduces reality down to one particular framework, this is in essence false because reality is always bigger than any ideology can capture, therefore it runs into contradiction and falsities, in Nazism's case violence and atrocity.

Example: "All jews are greedy"

Counterexample: a non-greedy jew

The Nazi-mind now has to double down on falsehood (with logical fallacies and other excuses) to try to justify their ideology instead of just saying that they were wrong in the first place.

There's already a thread about this I think.
