Books which repressent the degenerated weimar lifestyle
"Berlin transformed itself into the Babel of the world. Germans brought to perversion all their vehemence and love of system. Made-up boys with artificial waistlines promenaded along the Kurfustendamm. Even ancient Rome had not known orgies like the Berlin transvestite balls, where hundreds of men in women's clothes, and women in men's clothes, danced under the benevolent eyes of the police. Amid the general collapse of values, a kind of insanity took hold of precisely those middle class circles which had been unshakeable in their order. Young ladies proudly boasted that they were perverted: to be suspected of virginity at 16 would have been a disgrace in every school in Berlin." Stefan Zweig
Pic related is really a waste of time and neglecting to mention to not so easily digestible bits of "gay berlin" like child-prostitution and murder and all the other sociological epidemics produced by it.
Funny how all the books I've read about it, like Peter Gay, didn't talk about that either.
Jackson Scott
I heard other sources speak about far worse shit, something which would be on a similar level to the Detroux case or modern pizza allegations, complete with obcure occultism.
But it's hard to get any literal sources for it, as it's mainly been booed under the guise of nazi-book burning and "revisionism". And this despite the fact that it's all comming back in terms of degeneracy unlike the clean image such authors like to make up.

Zweig and I share the same home city and I like his texts a lot but I wouldn't trust him, he was a cantankerous conservative who was deeply nostalgic for pre-WW1 Europe, a World that was gone for good and not coming back. In his eyes any slight modernity (women wearing pants!!! the horror!!!) became amplified into some kind of contemporary Gomorra. We know interwar Berlin was a wild place, but I severely doubt it was total anarchy and deluge.
Austin Ortiz
>We know interwar Berlin was a wild place, but I severely doubt it was total anarchy and deluge. He was there, you weren't. Berlin was a fucking cesspool of degeneracy in the 20s, maybe even worse than it is today. And it all happened in the span of only a few years.
Cameron White
Zweig was actually quite the modernist calling himself a world citizen and strictly against nationalism.
You can doubt as much as you like, but the nazi purges didn't happen just because some whores wore midi skirts.
Angel Young
So, any ideas for good sources on this?

>people with different opinions having dialog >Noooo! Stop talking to eachother!! Ignore eachother based on ideological preconceptions!
Quiet Jew.

Du sprichst mit Nazis. Spar dir deine Worte.
Brody Ramirez
Those all are painting a rather oft picture and even make fun of trying to show the true nature of it, due to the nature of those authors per se.
Gavin Watson
You call everyone you disagree with nazi? I fucking lived in Berlin for 5 years as well and and it is at least currently Sodom and ghomora, even for a fucking foreigner like myself.
What is worth dialoguing about Nazi ideology honestly? It has no principles and was made up on the fly to excuse all kinds of incompetence and self-promotion within the party's ranks. Its mass appeal was precisely because it was amorphous and satisfying to be a part of because of German people's natural love of bootlicking and authority fetishism.
Blake Perez
You lived in Berlin for 5 years and didn't learn to take some K and have a think?
Nolan Price
If someone thinks something is worth talking about, then it's worth talking about. You don't get to decide for others.
Mason Rivera
No, just like everyone else in germany I was just hoping that Berlin gets nucked sooner than later.
Ryder Reed
>wants to talk about weimar republic >oy gewalt halt the presses that's anti-semitism and literally hitler What does the author want to tell us with that?
Wow what an enlightened centrist. Big brain shit going on over here. How about I do one better and say you don't get to decide that I don't get to decide? What's your alt-right logic do in the mirror match?
Gavin Reyes
Not him, nor "alt-right", but shut the fuck up. That has nothing to do with the topic. Go be retarded somewhere else.
Aaron Reyes
Don't cry so much. It's just another chaff thread on a board these trogs killed long ago with Evola and MDX shitposting
Jason Stewart
Any Krautanons read Armin Mohler's reflections on life under the Third Reich? Der Nasenring: Im Dickicht Der Vergangenheitsbewältigung.
The funniest thing is that those same degenerates weren't executed under Hitler, but became his most base supporters. A fact that most 21st century faggots forget.
Chase Taylor
>IHR
It's shit
Matthew Powell
It has nothing to do with crying when I have a serious literary question and retards start to sperg out about nazis, jews and evola. Like, nigga, this shit has nothing to do with it. Claiming the Romanovs are to blame would be more historically acurate.
Easton Reyes
fucking traps aint gay man fuck you bitch ass haters this board is weak af
Lucas Ramirez
Explains the tyranical and authoritarian nature of modern fags. Can't have a proper nice life so they try to ruin the whole society, by making them bend over and force them to become just as much of a shitstain as themselves.

Robert Torres
Leave before you get pozed. Berlin war, ist und bleibt Abfall.
Alexander Evans
Well it features a lot of pictures so it's interesting to look at, and I believe it touches upon some of the things left out in op's book, like serial murders, occultism, child love
Jose Hall
Only staying here because I really like the curriculum for my major. I’m lonely as fuck and hate the city, though
Hudson Turner
Is the Weimar Repiblic where German poopoo porn got its start?
Christian Edwards

Aaron Reed

Daniel Richardson
I wasn't being ironic
Mason Cooper
>He was there, you weren't.
How does that mean that he wasn't exaggerating or looking at it with a distorted lens?
Jason Brown
i want to read this thread later...bump
Cooper Anderson
bonjour reddit
James Stewart
Strongly recommend this. Doesn't cover everything, it's basically a memoir but both insightful and believable.
