Tel-Chai Nation

Jack Englehard discusses one of the most repellent things about the most repulsive autocrats, a subject that's as relevant today as before:

I’d been reluctant to say this, but now I think it is time…that the ban on smoking is responsible for all this.

Been downhill ever since. The rats are out in the open. The good people are in hiding. As at Columbia U, where thousands there and elsewhere are staging an American Kristallnacht.

Yes, I know, smoking cigarettes can be hazardous to your health, second-hand smoke included, but back then, before 1995, people had choices. It was live and let live.

I smoke a pipe. Can’t write without a pipe, and please spare me the lectures. Sometimes I join the pipe community on YouTube. We are a special breed.

Hitler never drank or smoked, and look what happened. Part of his Nazification process was to ban smoking throughout the country.

More than 80 million of them snapped-to, and became obedient Nazis. Overnight they traded the crucifix for the swastika.

In his novel, “The Gambler,” Dostoyevsky speaks derisively about the German habit of full devotion and obedience to the “Fater,” whatever the consequences.

It seldom, if ever, ends well.

Of course, what really makes Hitler's ban on smoking - and quite possibly drinking - offensive is that racially motivated murder and rape, by sharp contrast, weren't considered bad. Smoking and alcohol consumption may not be good influences, but the former is definitely tame compared to the horror elements Hitler and the National Socialist minions unleashed upon the world a century ago. And when National Socialists and followers of Islam are perfectly fine with sexual violence and murder, it makes opposition to tobacco and alcohol meaningless and hypocritical. There most definitely is a valid reason to be disgusted at all the moral hypocrisy during WW2 that doubtless has a presence in the world today.
