also note that Atlantis is part of the origin myth for nazis. so this usually is just code for “the white master race taught the brown and black savages how to do civilization”, conscious or not.
Wait: you’re telling me me the nazi’s from 100 years ago, adopted the story of Alantis that is centuries older than them, to reinforce belief in their ideology?
fantasy is an integral part of Nazi ideology. it’s not like it has any scientific basis. it uses mythical origins to reinforce the fantasy of the superior aryan race. notice how even Nazis today are obsessed with Vikings, ancient Greece and Rome.
whiteness isn’t a real thing; it’s based on exclusion, ie defined by what it’s not. so they have these disparate cultures romanticized and idealized in order to fake a shared history and culture.
