>Inflation is so rampant that the local paper currency is good only for toilet paper. Cocaine, morphine and opium are peddled on every street corner. And more than 120,000 desperate women and girls of every age and stripe sell their bodies for a pittance, including mother-daughter prostitution teams and brazen streetwalkers well into the third trimester of pregnancy.
>Such was the glory that was Weimar Berlin, a burg American writer Ben Hecht called the "prime breeding ground of evil." Most are familiar with its reputation as a crime-ridden sewer of frenetic debauchery through period classics such as Fritz Lang's "M" and Josef von Sternberg's "The Blue Angel," stage productions of Brecht's "The Threepenny Opera" or screenings of Bob Fosse's lurid, leggy movie musical, "Cabaret." However, very few of our assumptions about that decadent interwar wonderland are based on actual documentation of Berlin's whorish past. And most of it has been filtered through the arid prose of academia.
>Indeed, the sheer variety of odd sexual tastes Gordon documents in "Voluptuous Panic" is astonishing. For instance, Gordon identifies 16 different types of prostitutes, including "telephone girls," enormously expensive child prostitutes ages 12-17 labeled "Marlene Dietrichs" or "Lillian Harveys" according to their physical attributes. These girls could be ordered by phone and delivered by taxi to the client. There were also so-called minettes, who acted out S/M fantasies, and "demi-castors" (French slang for "half-beavers"), young women from good families who made extra cash by hooking part time.
>In tribute to the German mania for taxonomy, Weimar Berlin boasted an equally diverse assortment of lesbian and gay labels. "Sugar-lickers" were nighttime gay pederasts, and "Breslauers" were men with large penises. Lesbians might be ultrafemme "madis," or tuxedoed, highfalutin "dodos," and so on. And there seemed to have been countless nudists societies -- some for libertines, some for health nuts and still others with ties to political parties like the Nazis or the Communists.
>"Another thing which distinguished Berlin was the popularity of transvestism," Gordon notes. "There've been transvestites in every culture and time, but in Berlin they organized, they had special clubs and they became an entertainment. Strangely, the lesbians identified with the male transvestites and the homosexual men despised them. The major organization for gay men (the Militant Homosexualists) saw themselves as supermale. Transvestites were at the bottom of their Nietzschean hierarchy."
>Transvestism proved to be one of the main attractions of Berlin's burgeoning sex tourism industry. The pathetic situation of the German mark ensured tourists a real deal on the little boy or girl who'd caught their eye, and, unlike other European capitals that employed red-light districts for their sex industries, Berlin had no red-light district, or real censorship for that matter. Indeed, it seems the entire city was a red-light district. According to Gordon, Berlin's police commissioner even wrote articles boasting that sex was the premier industry of Berlin, though Gordon established that it was actually a respectable third after finance and publishing.
Ryder Powell
>A confluence of factors created Berlin's unique status as the sex Mecca of Europe during the Weimar period. Germany's recent defeat in World War I did its part, encouraging general disillusionment and leaving behind thousands of war widows in Berlin's populace of 4 million with no means of realistically supporting themselves other than by prostitution. Gone were the Kaiser and the old morality, and in their place was a new liberal republic. And then there was the general economic collapse and inflation. In October 1923, German currency traded at the astronomical rate of 4.2 billion marks to the U.S. dollar. Gordon points out that "the most exquisite blow job" to be had in Berlin never cost an American tourist more than 30 cents.
>Berlin even had its own urban myth to explain the city's frenzied, oversexed atmosphere. They ascribed it to the Berliner Luft, the "amphetamine-like air" of the city that made their hearts beat wildly at night and reinvigorated them at dawn.
>"I saw pimps offering anything to anybody, little boys, little girls, robust young men, libidinous women, animals. The story went around that a male goose of which one cut the neck at the ecstatic moment would give you the most delicious, economical, and time-saving frisson of all, as it allowed you to enjoy sodomy, bestiality, homosexuality, necrophilia and sadism at one stroke. Gastronomy too, as one could eat the goose afterwards."

One story I remember reading about weimar germany is how the films they showed became increasingly degenerate, the people came to see it as a form of humiliation, to where eventually people had their "red-pill" moment and would left the theater in seething rage. It would be amusing if this show has the same effect.
Parker Turner
Can you name any of the films, or what was "degenerate" about them? That's a fascinating claim and I'd love to see an example.

You can easily watch Weimar films. You won't find anything as degenerate as, I don't know, Game of Thrones.
I won't paste the whole thing here cause its pretty long, ctrl-f to "The crucial test" to find the whole quote. Admittedly its pretty tame compared to our standards now, but its interesting nonetheless.
Landon Martin
Gordon with his sensationalist garbage did more damage to the image of Weimar Republic than Hitler and Nazi propaganda. His sources are extremely unreliable, most of them are ads from Berlin advertising its sexual industry, but we know from numerous diaries they were really exaggerated. I remember reading about some lesbian poet who attended one of those lesbian parties. The lewdest thing she did was dancing with another woman and drinking coffee.
Leo Gutierrez
Having a threesome with a mother and daughter is the patrician's ultimate sexual fantasy
Oliver Johnson
Movies in Weimer were actually red-pilled.
Casket of Caligari is about attention whores who blame other people for their crimes while spinning lies about being the "real victim"
Blue Angel was about an evil whore who ruins a conservative professor who she seduces, bankrupts, then abandons after publicly humiliating him.
A lot of the gay/lesbian themed films showed homosexuality as a mental illness that leads to death, promoted the idea of lesbians as soulless vampire rapists, and schoolgirl lesbianism as a tool used by people to ruin other peoples' lives and reputations
Gabriel Stewart
>Casket of Caligari is about attention whores who blame other people for their crimes while spinning lies about being the "real victim" No? What are you talking about?

Pretty big change from what was taught at the turn of the century. As a kid, I remember my old Scholastic encyclopedia describing the Weimar Republic as run down and corrupt, economically crippled by the treaty of Versailles. Guess they need something to accommodate the moslems and gays now. >vibrant democracy What a laugh.
The next PM of a European nation, I'd wager. The native population of that continent are getting very angry.

Those normal Germans voted for Hitler only after the Great Depression. In 1928 NSDAP won 2.6% votes.

See, that's your problem. You're attributing the claims of some Jews to all Jews, as if Jews were some symbiotic hivemind.
My 8th grade history teacher was a Jewish woman who was absolutely adamant that much of the claims about the Holocaust in our textbook, including the 6 million figure, were fabrications.

Tumblr argument is tumblr, but I'm fascinated by how you're ignoring the Gypsies, and their own millennium long history of discrimination and ethic cleansing. Instead you pull the 'there were more Slavs' card like they're nothing but cattle. Guess goyim lives don't matter, eh?
Elijah Turner
So it fits a certain politically accepted narrative and dumb people can ingest it. Like all historical revisions.
David Bailey
People in Berlin also suffered.
There were few groups that weren't happy about the republic: peasants and the middle-class. Both voted for the Nazis.
Thomas Wright
The story that Caligari was based upon was one of the first major examples of a film taking a shitty book/short story and rewriting it to make it better.
The story that it was based upon had Caligari as the villain but the film makers changed the ending to make the good guy the real kiler/bad guy and Caligari his benevolent shrink he was trying to frame.
Jews are more important in the world than dirty slavs. Can you not see how much damage the Germans did to jews and zionism? It was a miracle the Jewish people survived.
Christian Gomez
Caligari isn't based on a book. And you haven't seen the film.
Brandon Ramirez
According to some recent estimates about 2.7 million ethnic Poles died during the war. In 1931 there were 22 million Poles living in Poland (in 1939 possibly 24 million). 2.9 million Polish Jews died during the war (almost 90% of all Polish Jews) (there were 3 million Jews in Poland before WW2).
