Somebody break down these guys obsession with the word "storm". What's the history behind that

"Sturm und Drang (/ˌʃtʊərm ʊnt ˈdræŋ, ˈdrɑːŋ/;[1] German pronunciation: [ˈʃtʊɐ̯m ʊnt ˈdʁaŋ], literally "storm and drive", though usually translated as "storm and stress")[2] was a proto-Romantic movement in German literature and music that occurred between the late 1760s and early 1780s. Within the movement, individual subjectivity and, in particular, extremes of emotion were given free expression in reaction to the perceived constraints of rationalism imposed by the Enlightenment and associated aesthetic movements. The period is named for Friedrich Maximilian Klinger's play of the same name, which was first performed by Abel Seyler's famed theatrical company in 1777.

The philosopher Johann Georg Hamann is considered to be the ideologue of Sturm und Drang; other significant figures were Johann Anton Leisewitz, Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz, H. L. Wagner, and Friedrich Maximilian Klinger. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller were notable proponents of the movement early in their lives, although they ended their period of association with it by initiating what would become Weimar Classicism."
Sturm und Drang - Wikipedia

Unlike in English, German traditional folk idioms, euphemisms are more related to traditional gods, the village, festivals, nature, the land, beer, farming, and forests and forest animals. Like a brothers grimm-lite worldview. Nazis push these concepts.

The concept of Heimat is a very german one and is related to some spiritual link of land to people and in the English speaking world we have no direct equivalent.

"Heimat (pronounced [ˈhaɪmat]) is a German word translating to "home" or "homeland". The word has connotations specific to German culture, German society and specifically German Romanticism, German nationalism, German statehood and regionalism so that it has no exact English equivalent.[1] "

It's traditional / backwards depending on your point of view.

I pulled these sayings as examples off the Internet:

Um den heißen Brei herumreden
Literally: To talk around the hot porridge
English equivalent: To beat around the bush

Da kannst du Gift drauf nehmen
Literally: You can take poison on that
English equivalent: You can bet your life on that / you can be sure of that

Zwei Fliegen mit einer Klappe schlagen
Literally: Kill two flies with one swat
English equivalent: To kill two birds with one stone

Eine Extrawurst verlangen
Literally: To ask for an extra sausage
English Equivalent: To ask for special treatment

Da steppt der Bär
Literally: The bear dances there
English Equivalent: It will be a great party / to be a mad one

Tomaten auf den Augen haben
Literally: To have tomatoes on one’s eyes
English Equivalent: To be oblivious to what’s going around you

Die Kirche im Dorf lassen
Literally: To leave the church in the village
English equivalent: To not get carried away

Schwein haben
Literally: to have a pig
English equivalent: to have a stroke of luck / to get lucky

Ich bin nicht auf der Nudelsuppe daher geschwommen
Literally: I didn’t swim over here on the noodle soup
English equivalent: I wasn’t born yesterday

Einen Vogel haben
Literally: To have a bird
English equivalent: To be crazy

Das ist mir Wurst
The literal translation is: “This is sausage to me”
I don't care

Ich glaub mein Schwein pfeift
The literal translation is: “I think my pig whistles”
Something not to be believed.

Bock haben
The literal translation is: “To have a goat”
To care about something or want to do something

That tradition as real-europeans is the "pure european (nordic) way of life" according to them.

Remember that first class nazi scene - "blut und ehre" - "blood and honor"


(It's worth noting that the nazi on the left was a Pig Farmer and the one on the right a tailor).

Nazi animals - Eagle, Wolf... Brother Grimm-esque.. English animals Bulldog, Dragon. Canadian animals - the Moose. Australia - the Koala Bear, Kangaroo.

"During the Nazi regime, the idea of conservationism for German forests coincided with the Nazi propaganda attacking liberal values. The Nazis used the phrase Naturgemasse Waldwirtschaft ("forestry according to nature") to explain that they were merely restoring Germany back to its purest form.[7] Many minorities would hide in the forests for protection from those less familiar with the land, and Hitler called the forest a hiding place for weak ethnic groups.[8] Even so, the Nazi regime tried to protect German forests and saw them as a symbol of national excellence in their purity. But the Nazi conservation efforts were undermined by military plans.[9]

In Nazi ideology, the motif of the "German Forest" was comparable to their "Blood and Soil" slogan, a typical Germanic symbol. Propaganda, political symbolism and landscape planning drew on this as a central theme for the period after a German victory.[10]

Albrecht Lehmann has postulated a continuity of romantic forest idealism in the German peoples, transcending class and generation, from the Romantic period through the 21st century.[11] Examples of the intense and distinctive handling of the cultural forest include the discussion of environmental damage and forest dieback, and the forms of commemoration and mourning associated with woodland cemeteries and natural burials.[12]

Polls identify a uniquely German concept of the equivalence of forest and nature. The forest as an educational medium and healthy environment, in the context of environmental education,[13] has a particular significance in the German-speaking region (see also forest education and forest kindergarten)"
German Forest - Wikipedia

They are an earthly people, with a distinct lack of urbane sophistication or as they might put it, a lack of rootless capitalistic mores.

It's hard to explain how this mindset meshes with companies like BMW, Porsche, Siemens, Bosch, Mercedes etc but it does.

European nationalists jump on all of this .. see sites like skadi for example ...

A deputy sheriff in Virginia was fired over social media posts that threatened politicians, 'liberal' judges, and tech CEOs

  • A deputy sheriff in Prince William County, Virginia, was fired after it was discovered he was the owner of an account on the right-wing social media website Parler that made threatening posts against governors, politicians, judges, and CEOs.
  • "Find them. Remove them from their sanctuary. Bring the nightmare to where they lay their heads and kiss their loved ones. Show them that they are NOT untouchable," one post read.
  • In one photo posted to Parler, the user behind the account appeared to share a photo of a myriad of weapons in his possession, including some inside a vest with the word "SHERIFF" inscribed on it.
  • Aaron Hoffman, the fired deputy, told The Washington Post that he had recently created a Parler account but said he didn't make the posts.
A deputy sheriff in Prince William County, Virginia, was fired after it was discovered he was the owner of an account on Parler that made threatening posts against governors, politicians, judges, and CEOs.

In one post to Parler, a conservative social media platform, the account, "WeThePeopleWarrior," encouraged their followers to "take back your state capitals."

"Find the homes of every governor, mayor, attorney general, liberal judge, senator, congressman and every major media/social media CEO," the post reads. "Find them. Remove them from their sanctuary. Bring the nightmare to where they lay their heads and kiss their loved ones. Show them that they are NOT untouchable."


While all posts from the account appear to have been recently deleted, screenshots of the Parler post have been shared on Twitter by Molly Conger, the Virginia-based journalist and activist who first reported about the account.
In an interview with The Washington Post, the fired deputy Aaron Hoffman said he had recently created a Parler account, but denied making the posts, telling the outlet he was unsure of who made them.

"I do understand the community's concern," Hoffman told The Washington Post. "I've been a public servant for over 15 years, and I take that very seriously. I am in no way a threat to the public. This disturbs me as well."
"Early yesterday our agency was notified about disturbing comments being made on several social media outlets by a deputy sheriff. Sheriff Hill was notified and ordered an Internal Affairs investigation," The Prince William County Sheriff's Office said in a statement posted to Facebook. "The investigation has concluded and the deputy has been terminated from employment with our office."

In one photo posted to Parler, the person behind the Parler account appeared to share a photo of a myriad of weapons in his possession, some inside a vest with the word "SHERIFF" inscribed on it.


On another Parler post that questioned how to remove US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts from his position atop the nation's highest court, the user behind the "WeThePeopleWarrior" account commented it "sounds like his life needs to be shortened."
In an additional post, the user said he would kill anyone who attempted to give his children the COVID-19 vaccine without his consent, a response to a local proposal in Washington, DC that would allow children to be vaccinated without parental consent, as The Washington Post noted. And in another, he said he would become "insanely violent" should he be asked to wear a face mask to prevent the spread of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.

"No one seems bold enough to confront me for not wearing a mask," the post read. "I guess it's God keeping me from murdering the mentally ill."

Parler was founded in 2018 but skyrocketed in popularity this year among conservatives and members of the far-right who sought a new platform after sites like Twitter and Facebook began efforts to more thoroughly moderate the spread of misinformation and disinformation ahead of the 2020 election, as Insider's Rachel E. Greenspan and Paige Leskin previously reported.
The founder of Parler has denied that it a right-wing website, though experts previously told Insider that it poses a disinformation threat as more extremists flock to it.

"White supremacists like the Proud Boys, would rather see the country burn than to see it united together under justice and freedom for all," said Kristen Clarke, president and executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. "Black churches and other religious institutions have a long and ugly history of being targeted by white supremacists in racist and violent attacks meant to intimidate and create fear. Our lawsuit aims to hold those who engage in such action accountable. We are proud to represent Metropolitan A.M.E. which has a long history of standing against bigotry and hate and whose courage and determination to fight back is a beacon of hope for the community."
