       Another analysis about Hitler's religion
       [quote]theological totalitarianism sacrifices God’s benevolence
       and love to his omnipotence. God’s omnipotence is not one of
       benevolence and love, but God’s ‘love’ is his power. That is why
       Hitler can interpret the annihilation of the German people as
       the will of the Almighty: the German people were simply unworthy
       of divine election.
       The two operations, the formal and the content-related, are
       connected. Benevolence loves plurality, the manifold, the other.
       Through this it gains sovereignty and is free of resentment.
       Repressive power, on the other hand, loves exclusion,
       homogeneity, and above all itself. Since this love, just like
       the sovereignty of power in general, is mostly fictional it has
       to work itself up into a desperate spiral of outperforming
       itself.[/quote]

       How is this anti-tribalist?

       If loving power is for the sake of destroying Western tribalism
       and making the world ideologically homogeneous to follow a
       universal ideology, is that good? The unfortunate reality is
       that our enemy despises empathy and loves power for the sake of
       maintaining their global exploitation. And a struggle can easily
       suffer defeat or be wiped out if it does not gain sufficient
       power. If we want universalist morality and socialism above all,
       there is nothing wrong with gaining and respecting power. If we
       want to exclude and expel the westerners and their adherents,
       there's nothing wrong with respecting power. If our people
       betray our leadership, whose goal is to defeat the enemy, is it
       bad to consider them unworthy?

       This is tribalism.
       "If loving power is for the sake of destroying Western tribalism
       and making the world ideologically homogeneous to follow a
       universal ideology, is that good?"
       No, because we should prefer Western civilization to never have
       existed in the first place. Therefore even though I agree we
       must possess power and use it to destroy Western civilization,
       we should hate having to do so. The moment we love possessing or
       using power, we are corrupted.
