5. Schmitt, a Machiavellian figures in several senses, had a different profile in the 1920s: He was not a Nazi but a conservative trying to figure out how to protect Weimar from extremism. You could say he was "Never Hitler"

16. To wrap up: both Junger and Schmitt overlapped socially with the members of the Officer's Plot, who tried to kill Hitler in 1944 but neither participated in the coup. Junger spent the war administrating Paris, which actually helped his post-war reputation.

17. Post-1945 Schmitt was arrested & jailed for 2 years, stripped of his academic titles, and lived on as a contaminated figure. Junger, much admired not only in Germany but also in France, continued to be a literary hero, hailed by, among others, Mitterrand.

You seriously think the Times would write an op-ed like this? No, you totally misunderstand who the are. I wouldn’t say they’re as pure as the driven snow, but that would be David Pecker’s rag you’re talking about.

This is the story. It's also why Hillary didn't divorce Bill. She knew she'd lose all access and entreé to the Davos class, and big money whiteboy backers. She'd have had to run for Senate/Prez with Emily's List funding and mojo. Junger/Schmitt, did they have agendas H enacted?

I’m not sure how much Schmitt attempted to ”tame” racist demagogues or how much of a prisoner Schmitt was. Schmitt was himself an abject anti-Semite celebrating Nuremberg laws as a return to ”German constitutional freedom, the National Socialist state is a just state”.

He despised Hitler as vulgar and of low intelligence and his deep hatred of Jews preceding Nazi rule was entrenched in his thoughts and work, notably in the friend/enemy distinction.

Isn't this also applicable to Ben Shapiro's "actually, Obama brought you Trump" line? Republican voters have no agency. They are prisoners of liberal political correctness...
