Rohm believed gay men made perfect soldiers.

Yes, but eventually, didn't Hitler have Rohm beaten to death for his homosexuality?
Another one that believed gays made better soldiers was Alexander.

Also, I believe there are many cases to be cited where each one of these groups has acted out violently. This is why I say "domestic terrorists".

Nah, Hilter used it as an excuse to put a problematic Rohm out of the way. He didn't care one way or the other but the brownshirts had become a liabilty to him so they had to go goodbye.

More than any other Nazi, I always thought Rohm was the scariest looking, most personification of evil. Even more than Schickelgruber hisself, whom I always thought looked rather like a rather insipid poppinjay. The whole Hitler "thing" might have collapsed if any of the Germans had a sense of humor & had laughed at him in the early days instead of blindly following him to doomsday. But Rohm had that chilling "look" in his eyes. Goebbels was pretty creepy, too, as was Himmler. Fat Hermann was a junkie buffoon. Speer looked to be a quasi-intellectual who got caught up in something that was more evil than he could have imagined.

I read Herr Speers book a while back. I see why they didn't kill him, we wouldn't have had his book.

Online I've met otherwise normal folks who thought highly of him and Rommel (not you Sandy ). But as Speer puts it, 'we knew'.

I vote for "domestic terrorists".

Dave

They are folks who do not fit into the "majority" and are bitter.
This bitterness is given comfort by finding others who are also outcasts.

They are simply blaming others for their lack of social acceptance.

No different than a street gang.

Yes there are both a hate group and domestic terrorists.

You know, I've been thinking about this. I'm old enough to have been politically aware during the years that the Black Panther Party existed and, although they were certainly a militant organization, I can't think of a single solitary instance of terrorism perpetrated by them. Anyone want to correct that?

Yep. "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it".
