You know, today we talk about nazi and fascist because their model is back. Simply. Some fails to recognize it, as fails to recognize it's economical and philosophical origin, so think the others are crazy. Happen frequently.

The tendency to exaggerate small things is also a normal part of this process, because our society start to fracture, things became tough and so anything is seen as a giant thing.

It's not different anyway than the various plethora of managers who attend "schools of management" learning essentially a kind of religion and apply it in their life as a religion, failing to see that. We have on the records stuff like some real estate C-levels hospitalized due to feet burns because at a team building events they have marched on a carpet of hot coals [1] and others in the Nederland who get hospitalized for serious concussions because they have play to drop themselves in the arms of their colleagues... What do you classify such hilarious extreme episodes? They are rare of course, but not so rare, and even without certain outcomes they show a certain approach.

I don't think op was referring in any way to pangermanism.


Well, kxfx whom you replied to was the OP in this thread. And according to their other top-level comment[1], that seems to have been pretty much exactly what they were talking about. (Yeah, a bit far-fetched IMO too.)
