    Some people just need to live in their pain body. I've heard of people who won't travel to Germany, won't buy German products, etc because it creates drama in their head to do these things. I'm Jewish, and I love most things German, including music by Wagner. The way I look at it, I'm making Wagner roll in his grave, knowing Jews are alive and listening to his music.

  • Awesome music.

  • Another Wagner video with nazi trolling...

  • Thumbs up if the Third Reich sent you here

  • A ceux qui voudraient réduire la musique dite classique à du soporifique pour papys ou mémés fatigués, je recommande de pousser la chaîne à fond sur le prélude... Difficile de rester assis, de ne pas être transporté, happé, broyé par ces lignes mélodiques en spirale... PLAY IT LOUD!!!!!!

  • @DeuceMP2 A drawing of the Rhinemaidens by Arthur Rackham.

  • Am I wrong to be distracted from my appetite for magnificent and refined art by a sense of distress in the malcathected error of a few folks? I feel foolish for being bothered, but I'm compelled to attempt to address the error for the sake of advancing my own concept if not achieving remedy.

  • @ExtremelyLuckyPotato I'd like to reify your position; Nazi propaganda pseudo-scientifically condemned Slavs with remarkable malice, disdain, and intransigence. Hitler himself would probably have had TodoFCB executed for sympathizing with inferiors.

  • @TodoFCB You've radically conflated historical facts. You should be proud of your cultural heritage, you can even be fond of your body and its genes, but to impute fault for your troubles to others on the basis of their ethnicity is a tremendous and cowardly waste of your psychic resolve. Hitler was a coward who murdered millions and mislead many more in an act of grandiose criminal negligence.

  • @TodoFCB You've mistaken the eigenvalue of genes as commensurate with that of memes. I'll remind you that one of the richest cultural heritages in the world, that of the union of the Germanic states, was so enfeebled by the proposition you've expressed that it was utterly ruined in contest of war.

    Hitler's concept of genetic phylogeny of European ethnotypes wasn't even correct.
