Germany’s oldest fraternity association could change its membership rules to include only ethnic Germans at their annual meeting this weekend, the country's media reported on Friday.

A meeting of the traditionally right-wing student fraternity association, the Burschenschaften, kicked off near the central German town of Eisenach in Thuringia on Friday morning with a rare press conference, the Süddeutsche Zeitung said on Friday. …

When reading your headline, one might mistake DE for Delaware, hahaha.

[Olog-hai]

Sorry about that.

[Windcatcher]

That’s what got me to click the link. I’m only a stone’s throw from Delaware.

[Olog-hai]

Looks like I blew it. Didn’t even cross my mind. Sorry about that.

Perhaps they should institute DNA and genetic testing. They might be very surprised to discover how very unAryan significant parts of their background might be. They might even turn out to have some Neanderthal genes. The Horror!!

I have no problem with voluntary identity stratification in the private sector.

The Krauts have long been noted for their expertise in racial purity.

Why not? - it worked so well the last time.

A lasting legacy of the Nazis with their extreme views and methods was the virtual outlawing of healthy self pride amongst caucasian people, and everyone knows it, but dare not say it, lest ye be branded a brutal racist oven-stuffer. And yet every other hue/ethnicity literally bathes in it, knowing whites can’t.

Your Delta Tau Chi name is Himmler.

Sadly, the post-war socialists have been on a mission to make the NAZIs appear rational.

What is the longest period that Europe has gone without a major war? 1815-1914 I think, 99 years of peace.

Thirty-two more years to go, to match that.

I watched Battle of the Bulge (again) last night (Henry Fonda, Dana Andrews, Telly Savalas, Robert Shaw).

There was a scene in which Col. Hassler (Shaw) called all of his Panzer commanders together so he could determine whether they were up to the task. He was disappointed that they were not all so young.

Then, one of the tank commanders started singing a rousing Panzer song, the rest of the commanders (all lined up, at attention) quickly joined in, stomping their right foot to keep time.

Col. Hessler listened for a few moments, obviously impressed by the visible solidarity and vigor of his new troops, ordered his personal aide Conrad to sing. Col. Hessler then joined in.

Before it was over, you realize there was a fanaticism there that transcended patriotism. It was really a pretty spooky scene. The only things missing were the Heil Hitlers and maybe a few Germany Shepards viciously ripping some hapless Jews apart with their bare teeth.

There's no "Aryan Purity Tests". This is a smear. Now, what if the Burschenschaften used the same requirements for German citizenship with is based on blood lines? Would that be wrong or evil? In Europe, nationality is based on ethnicity and if you desire to have a German Student organization, obviously, it too would be based on ethnicity.

What is wrong with this?

[Olog-hai]

Well, if you read the treaties on European Union, all the member states are supposedly required to subsume their nationalities and replace them with the identity of “European”, yes? It's been Germany that has had the greatest influence on these treaties (e.g. demanding that the Soziale Marktwirtschaft be the only form of economy for all member states, insisting that the European Central Bank be on German soil, declaring that all European laws post adoption of the Treaty of Lisbon be approved by the German Constitutional Court), so at the very least it's a double standard, right? to say nothing of what it is at most.

Approximately 1,500 of the 10,000 members (of the Burschenschaften) are thought to align themselves with various degrees of extremist nationalism. …

I was not aware of all of your items. German nationality law is still based on blood lines. Chris Kamen, the 7'1" NBA center from Michigan, played on the German Olympic Basketball team, as his grandparents were German.

Of course, most of the items in your list are utopian nonsense. The self-loathing of the German elite for Germans is a sickness, which has been and will create even more problems.
