Sounds like a broken record but screw it… Yes, they were brilliant. Ok. And yes people “study” their work. Ok. Having never read them myself, nor do I feel compelled or want to, I can say they were on to something. My issue is that, academically, it’s just rote memorization. People aren’t studying originality. Just others interpretation of originality. That’s why there’s such an ideologically “religious” bent to it all. Tapping in to that originality isn’t hard with an open mind. But reading some other dude’s writings on the matter tends to cram your thinking into a box or 6. Then you’re left trying to rectify everyone else’s “opinions” into the others for some grand unifying theory. It doesn’t work that way. There is only one but people, especially intellectuals, can’t even entertain the thought. It’s too scary for them. It’s too personal. So they toss out the baby with the bath water. Control.
@@Rope_Adope I dunno about brilliant. I mean, Hitler himself was incredibly incompetent. He may have been skilled at making speeches, but he was incompetent at statecraft and, at least at a large scale, also incompetent at the art of war. The axis had some brilliant scientists and generals to be sure (some of them even smart enough not to trust Hitler), but putting them together, they started a war Germany couldn't possibly win.
Heidegger was a Nazi who silenced his teacher and the founder of phenomenology Husserl, who was Jewish. He backed off and escaped serious consequences after the war and is the main phenomenologist studied to this day.
How was the Nazi Party able to attract so many followers?

Control.
Because socialism sounds really attractive to people who can't think one step ahead.
Socialism is attractive to those downtrodden.

What was his reason?
