White Biocentrism

"The rationale for not inviting him is ostensibly the current tension between the European Union and Russia over the annexation of Crimea and the ongoing Russian support for the insurgency in eastern Ukraine, which is indeed a serious problem. In the background of this decision, however, there might also be an ideological reason that relates directly to the ongoing bitter debate between Russia and post-Communist Eastern Europe over the history of World War II and the Holocaust.

Ever since the admission of the Baltics and many other East European countries to the EU and NATO, we have witnessed a systematic campaign being waged to undermine the uniqueness of the Holocaust and promote the canard of equivalency between Nazi and Communist crimes. The motivation for this campaign is obvious, since in most Eastern European countries collaboration with the Nazis meant active participation in mass murder, and if given a choice between being branded as countries of perpetrators or of victims, it is clear what the new democracies prefer. So instead of honestly confronting their bloody Holocaust past, they opt to emphasize their own suffering under the Soviets and Communists and proceed to glorify freedom fighters against Communism, even if they mass murdered Jews during the Holocaust.

Putin's presence at the Auschwitz ceremony will be a stark reminder of the identity of the liberators of the camp, a fact which the EU members of Eastern Europe would prefer to forget, but that would not be the proper manner to mark the commemoration of the seventieth anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation. On that day, the message should be that the only way in which the Third Reich could have been defeated was through the cooperation of all the anti-Nazi forces, which temporarily put aside political and ideological differences to overcome the existential threat posed to the world by Nazi Germany. And that should be a lesson that we would also do well to apply to the current threat to the Western world posed by jihadist Islam."
