"reflect a growing embrace of natural farming and eating among right-wing extremists" UH, YEAH ABOUT THAT... Learn about Rudolf Steiner. The organic movement has always been grounded in occultist purity mysticism. Organic goes with Naziism like peanut butter with chocolate.https://twitter.com/Jane_Yager/status/1019464797564424193 …

Nazis didn't come out of nowhere. German nature mysticism has been ruining minds and lives since the 1800s.

i mean, the wiki article seems to say "the Anthroposophical Society and most of its daughter movements (e.g. Steiner/Waldorf education) were banned by the National Socialists (Nazis); virtually no anthroposophists ever joined the National Socialist Party"
-
Sure. You always ban the competition. But look at Steiner's ideas on racial identity. The Wiki article is heavily sanitized but you can still see where the mystic racial essentialism comes from.

I'm not saying Steiner was a Nazi, I'm saying he was a pivotal figure in the pseudointellectual movement that spawned both Nazis and (crucially) organic farming.

i mean if the idea is just that steiner talked woo bullshit and the nazis talked the same woo bullshit then i can dig it, but I'm interested if there's a more direct connection i could read about

Problem with researching historical occultism is that every source is written by an insane person with a golf bag full of axes to grind, but consider eg http://orgonomie.net/hdoeng12.htm which describes Nazism as the "shadow" of Anthroposophy.
-
The Nazis persecuted the Anthroposophists, but then they betrayed *everybody*. My main point here is that Nazis <3 organic farming because organic farming is bullshit Germanic nature mysticism--homeopathy for farming--and Nazis are *all about* bullshit Germanic nature mysticism.
