Nazis actually believed and were obsessed with shit like that. That’s not even misinformation, that’s historical fact.
Nazis weren’t just put into Indiana Jones for the lulz. They legit tried to rewrite history and part of this was finding artifacts and making them work to their own story. There was an occult backstory to the Aryans as Hitler and the Nazis envisioned it.
One of my new favorite channels, Extra History, had a miniseries last month called “Nazi Occultism” recently…highly recommend.
Do you believe the person you were responding to was calling the well documented Nazi occultism misinformation, or that they were calling Trumps desire to acquire Greenland based on Nazi occultism as misinformation?
Moreso, it was unclear from their wording, which one of your interpretations they were intending. I don’t think that most Americans really know about the occult side of Nazism, outside of surface level stories. It wasn’t until I saw the Extra History bit a couple weeks ago that I even knew there was a link between Atlantis and Nazis.
Atlantis had been a mystical space in public knowledge, sure. There was a flume ride at Sea World. All sorts of specials on ABC and a Disney movie (not that that gains any points for not-being-nazi, in retrospect). But the Nazi link is always glossed over.
So really, my intent was sort of like writing on the screen “Nazis really believed this stuff”. Was there a South Park Nazi episode that calledback that joke from the Mormon episode or the Scientology episode? That’s what I’m trying to do.
That sounds like a movie idea to me. There already was a Nazi oretreats to the moon movie. A Nazi retreats to the lost city of Atlantis in Greenland doesn’t sound that far fetched.
Fight the misinformation with funnier misinformation and you will at least live in an interesting fantasy

Somewhat the former but not really.

We could use another iron sky sequel
