The Would You Have Been A Nazi test.

[jennielynn1970]

Here's me:


The Expatriate

Achtung! You are 31% brainwashworthy, 23% antitolerant, and 10% blindly patriotic

The Expatriate
Congratulations! You are not susceptible to brainwashing, your values and cares extend beyond the borders of your own country, and your Blind Patriotism does not reach unhealthy levels. If you had been German in the 30s, you would've left the country.

One bad scenario -- as I hypothetically project you back in time -- is that you just wouldn't have cared one way or the other about Nazism. Maybe politics don't interest you enough. But the fact that you took this test means they probably do. I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt. - I don't buy this statement that I wouldn't have cared enough one way or the other.

Did you know that many of the smartest Germans departed prior to the beginning of World War II, because they knew some evil shit was brewing? Brain Drain. Many of them were scientists. It is very possible you could have been one of them.

Conclusion: born and raised in Germany in the early 1930's, you would not have been a Nazi.

You scored the same as I, Jenn.

Der Kommandant
Achtung! You are 23% brainwashworthy, 45% antitolerant, and 48% blindly patriotic

Opportunistic, patriotic to a fault, and not so fond of people who aren't just like you, you are like a Nazi General. Back in Germany in the 1940's, you would have been at the top of the a-hole list. Not for Nazism, necessarily, but for your own sick, twisted values. Then, out of superior intelligence (relative to other Nazis, that is), you would've climbed to the top.

Conclusion: you would have been a Nazi, and most likely would have served them well.

Achtung, baby!

I laughed out loud when this came up.

AARRGGGHHH! A Foot Soldier!

Hey all - I'm not really THAT bad!

My test results

The Resistance

Achtung! You are 31% brainwashworthy, 23% antitolerant, and 43% blindly patriotic
Welcome to the Resistance (Der Widerstand)! You believe in freedom, justice, equality, and your country, and you can't be converted to the the dark side.

Breakdown: your Blind Patriotism levels are borderline unhealthy, but you show such a love of people from everywhere and a natural resistance to brainwashing, you would probably focus your energy to fight the Fuehrer with furor, so to speak.

Conclusion: born and raised in Germany in the early 1930's, you would have taken up ARMS against the oppressors. Or even your friends' oppressors. Congratulations!

Less than 5% of all test takers earn a spot in the Resistance!

The Everyday German

Achtung! You are 46% brainwashworthy, 14% antitolerant, and 29% blindly patriotic

Had you lived in Germany in the 1930s, you'd have probably just gone along with the flow. Men with guns are surrounding the house next door? The bagel place on the corner's gone? Hmm...whatever.

The data show you're a decent person who's willing to listen to what people of authority tell you. That's what most people are, and in most times and most places, that's ok. But not then; not there.

The sad conclusion: you would've missed your Jewish friends, but you would've done nothing about it. Seriously. But rest assured, you would've forgiven yourself eventually

Haven't taken the test yet, but thought I'd share some info from my friend Liesel. Liesel was a Nazi. She didn't believe the BS, but if she wanted to work and feed her family, she was required to join the Nazi party. During the war, she worked as a translator for the Nazi's since she spoke English, French and Russian as well as German. Her mother was killed when the Allies bombed her town.

The Nazi's transported her to Russia and when they lost the war she had to walk back home to Germany. She married an American and has lived happily in Texas since 1948.

She readily admits she was a member of the Nazi party. She felt she had to be to survive. She has told me that a lot of people espoused the Nazi BS just to survive -- but they really didn't believe it.

This is what I got too. I saw a program on PBS about the German cinema industry from the late 1920s through World War II. Many filmmakers and actors had to leave the country because of the rise of Nazism. (One of them was Billy Wilder) Marlene Dietrich helped many to come to California.
