Gandhi Is A Sacred Cow -
We Must Butcher Him
In light of the endless handwringing by the Mainstream Media, and Nicholas Berg, over the targeted assassination of the murder Musab al-Zarqawi, I want to repost this old essay from CUANAS.
From CUANAS, circa August 2004:
If Europe would have taken Gandhi’s advice as below, we’d all be speaking German and be part of a perfect Aryan race. There would be no people living with disabilities or birth defects; the Roma (gypsies) would have disappeared into oblivion and there would be no homosexuality allowed. Communism and free speech would be considered crimes and there would have been no freedom of religion.
"I would like you to lay down the arms you have as being useless for saving you or humanity. You will invite Herr Hitler and Signor Mussolini to take what they want of the countries you call your possessions...
"If these gentlemen choose to occupy your homes you will vacate them. If they do not give you free passage out, you will allow yourselves, man, woman and child to be slaughtered, but you will refuse to owe allegiance to them."
"Hitler killed five million [sic] Jews. It is the greatest crime of our time. But the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher's knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs."
Louis Fisher, Gandhi's biographer asked him: "You mean that the Jews should have committed collective suicide?"
Gandhi responded, "Yes, that would have been heroism."
It’s very lucky that Gandhi himself used passive resistance against the civilised British, because if he’d have used the same technique with the Nazis, there would be no people of Indian descent left in this world.
It's time for the world to grow up and realize that Gandhi was not a man of great vision. He was not an incarnation of God.
I would not even call him a man of peace.
The emotional devastation he was willing to lay on his wife gives the lie to his being a good man in private. For a person to deprive the one he supposedly loves of physical intimacy (and the emotional well-being that goes with it) because he believes he has some special relationship with the universe is an disgusting sin.
Gandhi was a snake oil salesman who won a P.R. battle against British imperialism. Thank God he did. He was the right schmuck at the right time. His people owe him thanks.
However, his legacy is a burden on the whole human race. Unfortunately many naiive, but well-placed, people believe we can take Gandhian "principles" and apply them to all of reality.
Gandhi's notion of applying his asinine philosophy to the fight against Hitler is not only laughable, it's arrogant to the point of megalomania. It shows he was willing to let the whole human race go down with the ship, because of his own belief in his special relationship with his stupid pantheistic universe.
And to sum it up, let me pose this question:
Gahndi says,"the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher's knife." So, how exactly does his philosophy differ, in practice, from that of Hitler?

Orange Cross,
You are a lemming. Have a nice trip.
It should be remembered that Gandhi also lavished praise on Indian nationalists like Ras Behari Bose and Subhas Chandra Bose, who went into exile in Nazi Germany and held military rank in the SS.
On joining the Germans...
Your enemy's enemy is your friend, it was a means to an end, ie end of 200yrs of british occupation.
Be careful P, you may go upsetting your many Hindu infidels with postings such as these, and we wouldn't want that would we...
Ghandi's 'weapon' is functional only against CONSCIENCE.
The fact it worked against the british, is MEANINGFUL..it FAILED to keep India unified where Islam was concerned though, didn't it?
The conscience engendered by loyalty to god, or a creed can easily trump that which Ghandi depended on.
That 'weapon' is as useless in this war as the main weapon at Crecy.
Anonymous,
No, I wouldn't want to upset the Hindu Infidels. That's a good point. I did say that Gandhi won, and that's a good thing.
But, you know what, his bullshit has become such a problem in our Western society that we need to start being honest about it.
I'm sorry if I have upset any Hindu Infidels by posting this.
I'd love to hear their thoughts. They must understand that Gandhi's methods would not have worked against Hitler.
Epa,
Good points.
Remember that Ghandi did say: 'I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence.'
I do not understand his courage, but perhaps neither do you.
You mean his callous demeanor in the face of other people's suffering.
You're right, I don't understand it.
