Lessons of our Fathers - Weimar Republic and USA
Are we Repeating the Past?
Here I give a short description of the Weimar Republic to show the similarities with the United States. It is far from a detailed description of events, but reflects some key concepts and some background. Enjoy.
The Weimar Republic was the government of Germany from 1919 to 1933. It was extremely ill-managed and ill-fated. It was the first attempt at democracy in a nation that wasn’t truly aligned with demoratic principles, and was born of confusion, angst, indifference, and a feeling of abandonment by the majority of the population.
On Nov. 9, 1918 an armistice was announced, followed by the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II. On Nov. 11, the armistice was signed, ending WWI for Germany. The armistice included clauses regarding financial duties of Germany to repair the damages of the war.
19% of Germany’s male population were casualties of the war, with over 2 million dead and 4.2 million wounded. The allied blockade had led to malnutrition of the whole population, leading to many fatalities. The Treaty of Versailles held Germany as responsible for starting the war, and demanded massive reparations. Germany lost 13% of its territory, including areas responsible for 16% of coal production and 48% iron ore production. Cost of living in Germany rose 12 times between 1914 and 1922. Germany tried to pay reparations by printing more money, but this only led to hyper-inflation. By 1923, the exchange rate between Marks and USD was 4.2 trillion to 1. Marks and the pound, 18 trillion to 1.
This is because the war had wiped out nearly half of Germany's industrial production, and the victorious allies made Germany pay 132 billion marks in reparations. Scaled to our modern money supply, that's equivalent to the US owing $90 trillion in reparations on top of our national debt.
Within 3 months the money supply grew 80-fold, from 8 billion in May to 670 billion by August. 3 months later it hit 400 quintillion -- that's 400 billion billion.

The financial burden was dwarfed by the burden of shame felt by the German people, who predominantly grew to feel that they had been stabbed in the back by their leaders, who sold out when the German army could have won the war. This fallacious thought was in large part due to the propaganda that had been shoveled into the people that said Germany was winning the war even up to days before the Nov. 9 armistice. The lie was said to have been promulgated by the Red Recolutionaries, the Republicans.
The abdication of the Kaiser was the first domino in the complete collapse of the officer class in Germany. The people saw abdication as the “ultimate betrayal: dishonor flowing from the fountainhead of honor.”
General Wilhelm Groener and Social Democratic Chancellor Freidrich Ebert made a deal in which the officer corps and the power of the armed forces would remain intact and Groener would give the army’s support in maintaining order and defending Ebert’s new government. That government was instituted fully on August 11, 1919, with the signing of its constitution.
In Feb. 1919, a weekly ration for an adult in Cologne was 4.5 lbs bread, 5 oz meat, 2 oz butter, 1 oz fat, 2.5 oz coffee and 7oz jam. This meant that a black market was almost if not definitely needed for survival for the average German. Schiebers were profiteers of the poverty, who traded on food, drugs, and medicine, with some getting quite wealthy in the process. Gangs of thieves developed and raided farms to eat or sell their loot.
Germans suffered immensely while the backstabbers treaties and armsistice terms robbed them collectively of their national autonomy. They were poverty stricken, unable to afford things in stores, while huge numbers of Americans, British, and especially French troops saw themselves grow wealthy as the Mark became worthless and foreign currencies exchanged for ridiculous profit. Foreigners lived like royalty, while the German middle class gazed on in hunger.
Foreign troops dominated the occupied territory of the Ruhr and into the Rhine, fueling hatred in the Germans by raping women, living off the labor of the Germans, and by treating Germans in many ways how the Germans would later treat non-Aryans. French troops were openly and viciously violent and demeaning to Germans. By 1923, $50 USD could buy a row of houses in Berlin, but the average German would have to spend their daily pay immediately or watch as its value disappeared in a few days into nothing. Stores and apartments started printing their own money, and a barter economy formed, in which butter and boots were of great value. The French and other foreigners caroused in full view of the starving and humiliated Germans, with whores on each arm, the most luxurious clothing, hotels, and the best of everything else. French privates lived better than high ranked German officers.
German Jews came through the inflationary period far better in general than the rest of the population, many even enhancing their position. This is part of the reason anti-Jew sentiments began to grow. Also the notion that Jews, who were not Jews, but actually Asiatics, were being allowed to flood into Germany, and having no respect or loyalty to German people or traditions, were practicing immorally and effectively against the German people for profit.
The fracturing of the German sense of right and wrong, their morals, values, and their sense of identity in general were more fundamentally instrumental in the collapse of that people and the rise of tyranny.
“The middle class—civil servants, professional men, acedemics—which had stood for stability, social respectability, cultural continuity, and constituted a conservative and restraining influence was wiped out.”
The Weimar Chronicle, Alex de Jonge
By 1925, Berlin had become a sess pool. A semi-organized brothel where anything was acceptable. Mustached men publicly engaged in sexual advances with each other, young women prostituted themselves for butter or other tradables, and marriage disregarded as either too expensive an enterprise or simply not worth it when children could be born illegitimately without any negative social response.
The rise in homosexuality was in part an effect of the war, where lonely men on the front sought comfort from each other, having no women about, and lonely women did the same back home. It was also due to the notion that anything that was taboo or unacceptable to the old order, that is, Wilhelmine Germany, was now the most precious. Incest, pedophilia, homosexuality, cross dressing, and all in public, was ever more acceptable, as the only thing left to them was pleasure seeking in a world that had abandoned them to insecure futures.
By December 1923, the money of Germany had been stabilized, but the feelings, the sentiment of the people, and the social retardation and fracturing continued on. Berlin continued to be adapting to its new international city status, with neon lighting its streets and gay bars sprouting up everywhere, an extension of the sexual obsession of a lost people.
This pleasure seeking was like an explosion of teenage hormones, with no guidance and no limits. As all explosions, this time came and went in a flash, but it led to an extreme form of correction. The instability and shame of the 20's resulted in carelessness, violating the German pride and sense of order. The moment came and went and just like a child who has been left to their own devices, and has gotten into too much sugar, eventually cries for a parent to come and rescue them from their own folly. Well, the epitome of order, discipline, authority, pride, and success was coming into dominance. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi's, come to bring back the glory, the morality, the correctness and the prosperity of the greatest people on earth. With the iron fist of dictatorship, unquestionable authority, and ignorant but faithful order following.
The pendulum swung, as it always does, from one extreme to another.
The combination of financial hardship, the extremely demeaning occupation of foreign troops, and the rampant social degradation of the 20’s led to the perfect storm of the rise of Nazism.
The social degradation was, significantly, surrounding sexual deviancy, lack of financial security which led created a generation of people that didn’t look to the future security and thus lived by extremes, and a deep loathing of democracy, republicanism and capitalism, and the occupying nations that robbed Germany of its pride and wealth by the deceit of backstabbing German leaders.
These three factors are mirrored in the USA today, in somewhat different manner.
Financial destruction, debt to foreign entities.
Identity and moral destruction, Sexual obsession
Centralized control by foreign government, and a fractured people.
We can spring into tyranny from this point. Weak men creating the door for a tyrant to enter.
Financial Destruction:
In 1973, minimum wage was $4.30. To match this in purchasing power today, the minimum wage would have to be $23.68. This means that while we have increased our technologies and, yes computers and cell phones have advanced and offered better services over time, the actual purchasing power has decreased by 41%-78% depending on the state. So, while some commodities have become “cheaper” over that time, the ability to take one inflation corrected dollar and purchase the same amount of goods has disappeared. This means that if inflation did not exist or occur, the dollar should be able to purchase the same amount of goods 50 years apart, excluding fluctuations in organic market demand, but this is not the case. Rather your dollars can get you 22%-59% of what it could 50 years before. The average 4-year public college in 1970 cost $405. In 2019, that same education cost $10,230. That’s over 25 times the cost over 50 years, during the same time that our dollar has devalued compared to cost-of-living expenses. In June 2019, the average asking rent for unfurnished homes was $1,588. The average annual electricity bill was $1,334. Annual food expenditure was $7,923. In 1970, the median rent was $108. In 1980, the Median rent for homes and apartments was $308 Rent has increased in 50 years from 13% of average family household income to over 21% of average family household income. The annual cost of electricity in 1970 was equivalent to $233 in 2020 dollars., which was about $35 in 1970. This is a change of almost 600% purchasing power lost. Food expenditure accounts for 9.7% of household’s total disposable income, which is less than the 70’s, but when we factor in the toxicity of the foods sold at cheaper prices made available by merging markets and advancements in distribution, storing, packaging and preserving, and the medical deficits that have piled up as a result, we can see that the costs are far greater as we can merge much of our medical costs into the long-term cost of purchasing and consuming large quantities of toxic substances.
-Unveiling A Better World
While it is not as drastic as Weimar's trillion Mark notes, it is showing a similar trend. Instead of reparations to foreign nations by treaty, the US gives away the money of the people in supporting foreign wars and globalist agendas. The result is the same, industrialists/plutocrats/globalists funneling money out of the people’s hands and into their coffers.
Weimar Germany was dependent upon loans from the USA. The USA is dependent upon fiat currency controlled and owned by a private central bank. The debt falls on the people in both circumstances. During the Great Depression, Germany lost the US loans, while today, the Federal Reserve Bank dictates inflation and currency supply, and thus designs the debt increase for every American intentionally.
The main lesson of the German hyperinflation is that once a central bank becomes a tool to fund the government, hyperinflation becomes a permanent threat. Like the Federal Reserve, the Reichsbank was independent on paper. But given governments always control central banks, they can never be truly independent.
In just the past few years, during Covid lockdowns the Federal Reserve printed nearly $5 trillion to finance federal deficits. At one point one in three dollars had fresh ink.
This is a far sight from doubling the currency in a month, but it delivered what it always does -- runaway inflation. Even on official statistics we hit nearly 10% inflation in 2021 and now, 3 years later, are still running inflation over twice the official target. With government deficits once again threatening to put the Fed back on the money printer.
What's the solution? Simple: Separation of government and money.
Like those private Roman coins, individuals will coin money that holds its value — otherwise consumers won’t accept it. Only the state can hyper-inflate. And so long as the state controls the money it is always a catastrophe waiting to happen.
When it comes to paper money — indeed, all government money — we know how the book ends: It will hyper-inflate. It’s just a question of when.
Paper money, produced “ex nihilo” and injected into the economy through bank credit, is not only chronically inflationary, it also causes malinvestment, “boom-and-bust” cycles, and brings about a situation of over-indebtedness. Once governments and banks in particular start faltering under their debt load and, as a result, the economy is in danger of contracting, the printing up of additional money appears all too easily to be a policy of choosing the lesser evil to escape the problems that have been caused by credit-produced paper money in the first place. Looking at the world today — in which many economies have been using credit-produced paper monies for decades and where debt loads are overwhelmingly high, the current challenges are in a sense quite similar to those prevailing in the Weimar Republic more than 90 years ago. Now as then, a reform of the monetary order is badly needed; and the sooner the challenge of monetary reform is taken on, the smaller will be the costs of adjustment.

Identity, Moral, and Sexual Destruction:
The Wilhelmine Germans were a people of immense nationalistic pride. They were a unified nation under the Kaiser and the monarchs of each state, and the armistice, abdication and soft revolution that followed WWI, the peoples identity as a powerful, unified people shattered. The idea that the most honorable (officer class and monarchs) would lie and sell them out led to a massive shift in their group identity.
Born from the collapse of the Empire, the German factions vying to fill the power vacuum, without the backing of the majority populace led to the constant conflict of the Weimar period. While some woke “scholars” would indicate the opposite: that Weimar was a unification of German people is a fallacy. Minority factions were subdued and enfolded into a republican government. Hitler used the contention of the German factions to his benefit, playing upon the moral collapse and the loss of pride of the people.
We can see this same sort of identity crisis in the USA today, with factionism becoming more distict, and people becoming further and further apart in their position from the “other” people. Not that factionism is new, but today it is mixed with the loss of the traditional American identity, which was based in working hard, individual sovereignty, strong families and communities, and the right to explore and defend ones self and ones domain. The loss of the core family to transgenderism and other sexual deviancies, feminists defeminizing women, and emasculated men, and the success of the eugenics agenda, has dropped the first domino in total social collapse.
As I’ve mentioned already, the moral collapse was shown in the rise of homosexuality, transvestitism and transgenderism, drug use, casual criminality, and general apathy for life and disregard of inherant virtues.
During the Weimar period, their was a crisis of masculinity. Simultaneously, women in Germany accessed the vote, the liberty to be accessible in public without social critique, and also took seats in government. Women took over a significant share of the workforce, as over 6.2 million male casualties of war created an otherwise unviable gap. The increase in accessibility and social control by women led to the obvious and universal constant of greater sexual interaction and greater general proximity leading to ever more casual relations between the sexes.
Today in the USA, more women attend universities than men, women are entering into the military as combat troops, and women are killing unborn children casually. This sort of transition from traditional roles is seen by the confused or psyopathic woke crowd to be just and forward thinking. The problem is that women taking on the roles of men leaves a gap in childbearing and childrearing. That role is now pushed off as a tertiary duty, to be conducted by federal schools or babysitters. Birth rates are plummeting, fertility rates are dropping, and women are caring less and less about children, and more and more about how to fight to be more like men. Consequently or at least contemporaniously, men are caring less about their traditional roles and are failing to manage the society, their families, and their communities. Sex has become the penultimate experience to be had, but not with meaning, only sensuality the goal. Men and women are lost in a paradigm inherently opposed to their biological imperative.
Without men to raise their biological children, the children were deprived of that extremely important facet of upbringing and were inclined toward the very things that came over the following 2 decades.
The sexual revolution of the Weimar Republic would probably be lauded by the trans/pride/social democrat/SJW/weak men faction, because it is very closely related to their modern version of it. Pushing the boundaries of the taboo, banishing norms of the older generations (old order), and disregarding longevity securing activities because insecurity in their environment makes them not care what is real, only what is the biggest and hottest pleasure activity. The confusion, ignorance, weakness, self-indulgence, apathy, and delusion is almost exactly reflective of Weimar.
Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute of Sexology was one of the forerunners of the modern transgender and pride movements. He was a homosexual who endured strict anti-homosexual Wilhelmine laws. When the Weimar period came into full bloom, he was ready to take advantage of the liberalized and morally bereft culture that had taken root.
Hirschfeld, in contrast, argued that a person may be born with characteristics that did not fit into heterosexual or binary categories and supported the idea that a “third sex” (or Geschlecht) existed naturally. Hirschfeld proposed the term “sexual intermediaries” for nonconforming individuals. Included under this umbrella were what he considered “situational” and “constitutional” homosexuals—a recognition that there is often a spectrum of bisexual practice—as well as what he termed “transvestites.” This group included those who wished to wear the clothes of the opposite sex and those who “from the point of view of their character” should be considered as the opposite sex.
He purchased a Berlin villa in early 1919 and opened the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (the Institute for Sexual Research) on July 6. By 1930 it would perform the first modern gender-affirmation surgeries in the world.
The grounds also included room for offices given over to feminist activists, as well as a printing house for sex reform journals meant to dispel myths about sexuality.
The institute would ultimately house an immense library on sexuality, gathered over many years and including rare books and diagrams and protocols for male-to-female (MTF) surgical transition. In addition to psychiatrists for therapy, he had hired Ludwig Levy-Lenz, a gynecologist. Together, with surgeon Erwin Gohrbandt, they performed male-to-female surgery called Genitalumwandlung—literally, “transformation of genitals.” This occurred in stages: castration, penectomy and vaginoplasty. (The institute treated only trans women at this time; female-to-male phalloplasty would not be practiced until the late 1940s.) Patients would also be prescribed hormone therapy, allowing them to grow natural breasts and softer features.
If you read the source article of this quote, you will note the veneration of Hirschfeld for starting the first transgender clinic and saving lives. This is the parallel of today. It is the same. The idea that it is not only just, but a boon to society to have gender dysnorphia and to surgically alter the sex of men and women, and even children. The Nazi response was to add them to the unfit list of people and genocide them. Could this happen in the USA? I don’t know if it will, but it certainly can. And that should be something we all avoid.
The problem is that humanity easily swings back and forth on that pendulum, and who knows what the correction will look like to the ever deepening moral chasm opening our souls to depravity. That same depravity exists on the far swing of the pendulum, just as it did in the Nazi period. Restrictive Wilhelmine Germany leads the outcasts to push for the radical opposite, and the morally depraved Weimar Germany leads to the radical opposite fascist dicatatorship (national socialism), which then leads to the next swing, and the next, and the next. Same thing happens here in the USA, but with much more clever manipulation by the globalists as they have been armed wirh a century of method construction to manipulate humanity, from eugenics to behaviorism to tavistock programming.
Very similar to what is happening today in the USA. Read article below to get a more in depth analysis of the crisis of masculinity happening now in the USA.
Central Foreign Government and a Fractured Population
The German population was in some ways largely apathetic to the nature of its government after WWI. After the Kaisers abdication and the realization that the officer class had lied to the people about the state of the war, the people were done with the lying backstabbers, as they saw them. The solution to what they would do next was disputed between communism, socialism, democracy, and republicanism. The different factions were innumerable, and the only reason a Republic was formed in 1919, was because a man announced it before an opponent could announce a different form of government.
The population had many vying militarized groups, political groups, and industrial influences. Just like during the Great Depression in the next decade, the plutocrats and monopolists grew wealthier while the general population grew poverty-stricken, and the middle class disappeared. As poverty grew, apathy and pleasure seeking increased. The love of life turned into the last for life, longevity to the quickest way to orgasm. In this state, who would really give too much attention to governemnt except, as we do today, to express which faction they were with and avoid those who disagreed with them.
For a Bavarian who wanted a constituional monarchy, the republican government would be a foreign, unrepresentative, unauthorized, invasive government. There was no vote to have a republic in the first place, which is why putsch after putsch tried to overthrow the damned thing. Even if there had been a vote, there would have still been the resistance to it by those of the different factions. The voting that came later are all a consequence of the initially unwarranted and unwanted declaration of the new government.
The only fundamental difference between Weimar man vs today’s man is cohesiveness of our small societies to our general society and a lack of that enterprise that had factions forming their own armies. Instead, Americans are consumed with the comfort they have today, riding the delusion of stability, and willfully ignorant of the chasm they are crossing on a tightrope. Economically, our nation is dead. But most people are yet working their dead end jobs, paying their taxes, buying everything on credit and debt, and willfully ignoring anything that disputes the televisions narrative.
“I’ll wait for tomorrow, or when they come to my door to take my guns, or when they are sending my family to concentration camps, or when we are all microchipped, or when robotic police dogs moniter the streets through A.I…. Then I’ll do something.”
Wrapping-up
In many ways, the USA is experiencing similar governmental and social actions or events to Weimar Germany. They are not mirror images, but rather a historical example shadowing the current situation in the USA. Actually, the relative qualities of the two periods are minimal in a microscope or in any real detail, generally. Rather, there are mostly patterns that can be reviewed to undertsand trends of human behavior under certain pressures and in certain circumstances.
The woke population and their masters who print the 99% of media produced today, compare Trump to various Putsch's, relating Jan. 6 to Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch mostly. The stupidity of these people is astounding. But then again the stupidity or cowardice required to be any kind of statist astounds me. Trump and his faction are not Nazi’s and the Jan. 6 event was a joke, where thousands were allowed to peaceably enter the capitol to stage a pathetic false flag. Hitler took 4000 armed men into Munich and took control by force (before ignorantly letting it go), then eventually set the Reichstag on fire for his false flag that enshrined his dictatorship under emergency powers. Trumps supporters wore Maga hats and peacefully walked about the capitol after being encouraged to do so. I’very also seen Trump compared to Kaiser Wilhelm, but I think it is reaching to think them similar beyond small traits and public attitudes.
No, there is very little comparison to be made between the failings of the Weimar period, the strict Wilhelmine period, or the Nazi period and the conservative Trumpers. Rather we can compare the confusion and apathy of today to that of a century ago in Germany. A crushed people, from different factors, leading to a spiritual disease and a loss of cultural identity. Now, we are a fractured, crushed people, bearing the weight of constant warfare being directed at us by the government many are devoted to paying taxes to. There may come a time when weapons are raised faction against faction, but it’s far more likely that this slave population will simply surrender to the ever increasingly depraved terms of their enslavement.
After a century of development of social engineering methods and supercomputers now running probabilities for how populations will respond to different agendas and actions taken by globalist government, it is unlikely that the people will see what’s coming until its too late. They won’t see the rise of the authoritarian regime under the cloak of the narcissistic and delusional, morally superior woke slaves. While people focus their attention on green energy to save the planet (fallacy), which genitals are on their bodies and whether they should surgically alter them (lunacy), and which master they should elect to be the next puppet in chief (delusion), the plans of the globalist moves forward, bringing on the authoritarian global governement.
Not me though. I for one will never bow to the parasites.
Good luck freedom fighters.

Interesting and, for me, with some new information on the Weimar saga that I have studied, thanks.
Two books on this are for me must reads:
Leonard Peikoff’s “The Ominous Parallels” and Peter Gay’s "Weimar Culture: The Outsider as Insider"
Stay free, stay safe.
I wish I didn't know so many people who were like that - if they come for my guns, if they make digital IDs mandatory or CBDCs, I'll do something then. But right now I have to live my life.
You nailed it there. And it scares me half to death.
