>Hamsun had strong anti-English views, and openly supported Adolf Hitler and Nazi ideology. Due to his professed support for the German occupation of Norway, he was charged with treason after the war. In 1945 at the age of 86, the Nobel laureate novelist Knut Hamsun wrote an obituary of Adolf Hitler in the newspaper Aftenposten. Hamsun's eulogy to Hitler served as the collaborationist newspaper's feature article on Hitler's death.


>Adolf Hitler

>I'm not worthy to speak up for Adolf Hitler, and to any sentimental rousing his life and deeds do not invite.

>Hitler was a warrior, a warrior for humankind and a preacher of the gospel of justice for all nations. He was a reforming character of the highest order, and his historical fate was that he functioned in a time of unequaled brutality, which in the end failed him.

>Thus may the ordinary Western European look at Adolf Hitler. And we, his close followers, bow our heads at his death.

>Knut Hamsun
How come nobody told me Knut was so based?

>In 1943, he sent Germany's minister of propaganda Joseph Goebbels his Nobel Prize medal as a gift. His biographer Thorkild Hansen interpreted this as part of the strategy to get an audience with Hitler. Hamsun was eventually invited to meet with Hitler; during the meeting, he complained about the German civilian administrator in Norway, Josef Terboven, and asked that imprisoned Norwegian citizens be released, enraging Hitler. Otto Dietrich describes the meeting in his memoirs as the only time that another person was able to get a word in edgeways with Hitler. He attributes the cause to Hamsun's deafness. Regardless, Dietrich notes that it took Hitler three days to get over his anger.
I wonder if they used interpreters or if Hamsun knew German. Either way, this is basically a comedy sketch.

Bizarre how Nazis make this abominations and ratfaced jews seethe to this day. They emerged from a crushed society and economy, becoming so powerful that the entire world had to come together to defeat them.
I think that what pisses them off, besides the holocaust being clearly false, is that compared to the US, the UK, Belgium, Netherlands and France, Germany wasn't nearly racist or imperialist. While black soldiers fought alongside white germans in Africa, the US segregated the blacks in coloured battalions. While Germany simply defended themselves from Poland, a country that invaded and annexed parts of the USSR, Lithuania and Czechslovakia after not exsiting for over 100 years, the european powers and the US were raping, looting, killing and colonizing sovereign nations worldwide.

>based on what they wrote, not their political beliefs

People say this to pretend that they're above political shitflinging, but in my experience the overwhelming majority of people do not read people whose political views starkly oppose theirs on the assumption that one's sense of aesthetics and one's political inclinations are intimately related to each other through both of them being a subset of the way one interprets the world and the ways of the world. That is to say, a true believer communist will not read a chuddy author for pleasure because they can't help but think that to arrive at their political views that chuddy author must have a poor understanding of the world or possess inherently malformed senses and reasoning, therefore making it extremely unlikely that said author will be able to give a new and/or interesting perspective on the subject of his artwork, whether that's literature, cinema, painting, music, etc.

It should be mentioned that this kind of judgment is usually reserved for works of art that are relatively recent and which have not been fully canonized yet. Historical value more than anything can smooth over this sort of thing. But considering recent events even past canonization is not a complete defense against getting this sort of treatment.

Moreover I think you can catch this sort of attitude both around here and in the, let's say, hip and happening places IRL. I've had anons say that they won't read this or that jew or ultra-left wing author on the assumption that they're only popular because they fit the current zeitgeist and have connections, and couldn't possibly have anything interesting to say, and also read many "literary" people in magazines make claims along the lines of "art is an inherently left-wing phenomenon" and such.

And of course there's always the institutional aspect to all of this. People usually read the authors who have a network of institutions to publish them, to popularize them, and spread the good word about their works, not necessarily the authors who are "the best" in an objective sense, if such a thing exists to begin with. You may write the best novel ever but you will never ever get canonized or even published and read if your work goes outside the current overton window and you have no critics, publishers, readers, etc. to get the ball rolling the right way. In that case your best bet is to hope that a later generation whose sense of aesthetics are more like yours will dig you out of oblivion and claim you as their spiritual kin.

Evola's reading of Hitler is the best and is comparable to this. Hitler was pure daemonic force that could be used for good or evil. He was pure energy, which was ideal for smashing down decadent structures or blasting through the encircling siege camp of global technological-financial tyranny emanating from London and New York. But left to its own devices, pure mindless or "headless" force will either sputter out uselessly, or even get turned around and destroy things that are good. A true dialectical synthesis of the classicizing tendency twoard moderation, represented by Mussolini, and the volkisch tendency represented by Hitler, would have created a new world order in Europe, which probably would have culminated in limited nuclear exchanges with the financial world-order of Oceania. Instead Oceania won "fair and square" by unleashing the equally headless Bolshevik behemoth against Hitler, something Hitler was eager to oblige by smashing the new European order against the Bolsheviks. It all came down to a coin-toss really: from the perspective of 1940, it could just as easily have ended with the Bolshevik machine breaking down and the new European order being able to turn westward without distraction. In the long run, the new European order was completely correct that an agricultural heartland had to be established in the east. But in hindsight it seems obvious that Hitler got into a quagmire in the east and the sea-based financial powers had every advantage over him as a result.

The second round of this fight can only be won by strategically identifying those people who are capable of renewing and continuing the fight self-consciously. It won't do any good to awaken a few million male urbanites if the latter are incapable of doing anything useful or they are the first victims of a limited nuclear exchange with fragmenting Russia.

Rhineland Bastard (German: Rheinlandbastard) was a derogatory term used in Nazi Germany to describe Afro-Germans, believed fathered by French Army personnel of African descent who were stationed in the Rhineland during its occupation by France after World War I. There is evidence that other Afro-Germans, born from unions between German men and African women in former German colonies in Africa, were also referred to as Rheinlandbastarde.

After 1933, under Nazi racial theories, Afro-Germans deemed to be Rheinlandbastarde were persecuted. They were rounded up in a campaign of compulsory sterilization.[1]

>You do know the reason he wasn't put into prison was because he was legally senile, right?
No, the reason he wasn't put into prison was that jailing a Nobel Prize winning artist for thought crime would have been an extremely bad look. Threatening an old man with jail unless he accepted being publically labelled "crazy" for his beliefs was much more effective propaganda (as you've just demonstrated).
