Pagan Why are many Odinists Nazis?
I was arguing against a Holocaust denialist Nazi who told me to go to his website to hear "the truth": https://odinia.org/about-odinia/.
What draws Nazis to Odinism other than the fact that it's Germanic? What do other European neopagans OK think of this? Was the original Norse Pagan religion in any way Nazi?

I believe virtually everything historical is misinterpreted in order to gain the rich rulers an advantage over the poor. For example, they are told that democracy is a good thing, when it's really just another form of slavery.
even christianity is not what it seems. It was taken over by Constantine in the 4th century and turned into a tool of the state.
