Parked.... Negatory 48 here with about 10 mph wind. Rather nut busting cold, feels like negatory 75 if ever it did. It's so negative.
Funny how my grandad said it was Nazis that were the bad ones.
I got the impression you were in the lower 48. Minus 48 degrees at your location? What's the difference between 48 below and 75 below. I've never experienced that and don't want to.
Professor Pinker makes the point that Jews, like him, are hated for being rich middlemen that don't seem to work. He also makes the point that Indians fill that role in Africa and are just as hated. He also points out that Chinese fill that role in Asia, and are just as hated.
Middlemen minorities are hated.
The lowest IQs are pygmies at 55. The highest IQs are Jews at 110. But Northern Europeans and Northern Chinese have higher engineering IQs than Jews.
When HItler said "Top 2%" that was dog whistle for Jews. I am only 1/4 German Jewish, but I still made the top 2%. A jew who was kicked out of kindergarten in Germany by a Hitler decree [and then immigrated to the USA and became an engineer], tells me that I would have been kicked out of kindergarten too, if I had been born by then and in Germany.

Look, I'm 3rd gen German American. We had family on the wrong side of things. Granted, the Nazi's did the world a favor by knocking Communism down a peg or two, but at what cost? What bloody cost?
German Exceptionalism was a wonderful ethos at one time. Germans believed they were exceptional and that they had a powerful onus to go out in the world and make it a better place. Guys like Albert Schweitzer were the epitome of this thinking. Here in the States, you can thank the Turners for the concept of Physical Education and Gymnastics. Germans were also responsible for introducing public hygiene, and sanitary hospitals to the US. If it wasn't for Germans, our cities would still be open sewers, and we'd all be dying young of wretched easily preventable diseases. That was the German's gift to humanity.
Then WWI comes around and in its aftermath, some psychotic bastards take that wonderful ideal and turn it into Aryan Superiority. Instead of the ever-vigilant Shepards of the world, Germany was turned into a race of butchers and the world became its abattoir.
To give you and idea what German Exceptionalism was all about, let me digress a bit. When I was in college, I stumbled upon a stone monument to "Turnvater" in the neighborhood park. It was overgrown with yew bushes. I had no idea of what it was or how it got there. About a decade ago, I found out the real meaning of it.
Turnvater (Father of Turners) was the nickname given to Francis Ludwig Jahn, the founder of modern Gymnastics. All the gymnastics equipment we know today (bars, rings, vaulting horse, etc) come from Jahn. The park was built in the early 1900's out of an abandoned quarry/landfill. One of its most unique features is a dance pavillion looking out on the steepest stretch of Vine Street. Its reason for being was that this was the reviewing stand for the gymnastics pagents. As many as 11,000 German American gymnasts would do cartwheels up this hill in parade, showing off to the world what could be done with a healthy body. It was all gone by the end of WWI.

EE, Nothing at that temperature. You hit a certain neg coldness and your felt exterior body can’t determine any additional minus temperatures. It’s cold. 😎

That's what I figured though it probably makes a difference with machinery and such. Things are just harder in extreme heat and cold and in the dark.

I've been in cold as low as -67 F confirmed by a local AWOS and everything in between. Once you get down past -40 F you can't really feel a difference in the colder temperatures. After a week or so of those temperatures -20 F feels downright balmy.

I hate only what organized Jewry has been attempting to bring (and has succeeded in bringing) about. We are commanded to love the lost, and to wish that they be found (i.e., wish that they abandon their error, and come to faith in Christ). Organized Jewry consistently brings about evil because it's the castle built on sand, which can only lead to destruction. They are blinded by their rejection and crucifixion of Christ. They can only be brought back to God by coming to the faith and rejecting the rabbinical Satanism that Christ so harshly condemned in their presence.

So, the Nazis were wrong?

You skipped a step. First establish what it is that they did. What we understand as the history of that period of time is a mere mixture of war time propaganda and what actually occurred. We don't know the proportion of those two factors. But governments generally bring about evil, since men are in control of them. This is why our Founders attempted to create a government with few and defined powers, filled with checks and balances to cripple its ability to accomplish evil. Just about all of those checks and balances have been torn down, and have been for a very long time, sadly. The National Socialist government didn't have many checks and balances to begin with, so it was bound to bring about evil ends. But they were not alone in bringing about evil during that time in human history. We were responsible for a huge share, as were the British and the Soviets, not to mention the Japanese and Italians. There was plenty of evil to go around.
