A search for truth

What fuels the cruelty of humankind, which has oppressed and exploited enemies and fellow countrymen alike since the beginning of recorded history?

Why are the oppressed victims, without power and rights, most notably women?

Have the countless historically warranted violent acts left us as unimpaired as patriarchs and militants want us to believe, or are they rather the source of increasing mental issues?

These questions have concerned me throughout my entire professional life as a psychologist and psychotherapist.

40 years ago, while working as a young psychologist in child psychiatry, I was puzzled by the misery of many children and their families, even though they often did not have a lack of material goods. Those disastrous conditions havent changed. Not until 2018 did Austrian health insurance companies acknowledge a deficiency of psychotherapeutic care for children, and have since promised improvement. Let us hope that going forward, our children will not be left alone with their anxieties and difficulties.

25 years ago I discovered that mental disorders can be traced back to the second world war and other traumas originating in violence. Experts tried to silence me by branding it unscientific nonsense. This attitude changed in 2002, and many have since taken up the cause. My book Die Kinder des Tantalus has helped many to understand their personal history.

I have since discovered similar violent traumas worldwide and in all eras of time. This discovery may sound incredible given the historical misrepresentation perpetuated by historiography and the sciences, a practice which has been perfected and enforced by the Catholic church since the Constantinian shift (313 AD). Anyone not believing in the holy mass murderers (Constantine the Great, Charlemagne, Otto the Great) was branded a heretic, tortured, and killed. It will arguably take years to be able to talk in this manner, without being silenced in one way or another.

The widespread preoccupation with national socialism nowadays is a good thing. Still, it is not a singular operational accident caused by a lunatic, as portrayed by the mainstream. Genocide has been the foundation of power for the patriarchal warrior caste since the Indo-Europeans first developed superior military technology by domesticating the horse 6000 years ago.

Past genocides perpetrated by the militant patriarchy follow us like a perpetual boomerang.

The extenuation of violence of the powerful leads to confusion, suffering, anguish, and anger.

Inclusion of women and their wisdom of life is the essential step towards a happier world.

German violent trauma

Why was it Germans, of all people, who perpetrated the Holocaust?

Why did Protestantism originate in Saxony?

Why was Communism founded in Germany?

Why did Leipzig citizens single-handedly overthrow the GDR?

Why is the Pegida so powerful in Saxony?

Numerous books have been written concerning all these questions, none of which give satisfying answers. It is an impossible task as long as the culture in question denies and suppresses its history of violence while embellishing and portraying it as sacred national acts.

World history has sadly been marked by genocide and its reinterpretation as sacred heroism since the emergence of the militant patriarchy, and German history is no exception. When Hitler lost the war, this pattern was broken and the Holocaust viewed with contempt. Acts of rehabilitation such as stumbling blocks, memorials, and rituals of reconciliation (Brandts genuflection in Warsaw) have led Germany on to an internationally recognized, healthy path for the first time in its history,

Where does the incredible cruelty of the Nazis originate?

Psychology teaches us that, without reflection, victims of violence are likely to turn to violence themselves. (Opelt 2002) The Holocaust as we know it is backed by 2000 years of genocides, which have been idealized and camouflaged with sacred notions, similar to Soviet propaganda rebranding Stalin, a mass murderer, as Father Stalin and Savior of the Fatherland. (Opelt 2016)

In the 20th century, mass media helped uncover most genocides (Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Khmer Rouge, Rwanda, Srebrenica, Armenia, Boers) and, for the first time in history, were not viewed as heroic deeds. This is a new development. In all wars prior to World War I, the victors would idealize their genocide, turning it into righteous heroism.

Therefore, to process our disposition to violence and anger, we must look further than the Holocaust, and acknowledge all hushed up genocides in Central Europe.

I want to illustrate this by looking at the Saxons and Sorbs:

The territory covering present-day Lower Saxony was the preferred battleground of the Romans starting in 14 AD, in retaliation for the defeat they suffered to the Saxon tribes at the Teutoburg Forest. Emperors would have to prove their competence by leading a campaign against the Germanic peoples, resulting in Saxons and their fellow peoples suffering genocide almost every generation. (Moosbauer 2018) First there was Roman general Germanicus, who eradicated the entire Marsi population. The killing did not stop until after Charlemagnes thirty year war against the Saxons, who he had killed in substantial numbers, even after they had surrendered.

100 years later, Saxon dukes processed their trauma by traditional means: In the capacity of German kings, they attacked the Slavic population between Elbe and Oder and inflicted the same pain that they had experienced themselves. The territory that was to become the GDR was oppressed and exploited for 200 years. The Slavs indeed defended themselves, although revolts were only successful in the North for a while. Sorbs living in the area of the present-day Free State of Saxony were exploited by an existing Germanic upper-class for 600 years starting in 930 AD: They were forced to compulsory labor under the Germans (Six weekdays work for their earls, sunrise to sundown), as well as being taxed for any work done in the little free time they had. Enforced Christianization also meant paying a tithe to the bishopric. These conditions were getting close to killing through labor, with which Hitler wanted to exterminate all non-Aryans. In the same way, the Spaniards eradicated the Caribbean Indians in a matter of a few decades. Daily rape (Jus primae noctis) and resulting German-Sorb mixed offspring broke the Sorbs.
