#Swakopmund
Returning to my research today I am pleased to find this on my virtual desk.

The article focusses on the iron jetty in Swakopmund (Namibia) that was built after the colonial war. It connects perspectives of business, labour and colonial history.

This article focuses on the post-war building of the iron jetty in Swakopmund that was constructed in a private enterprise from 1911 into the First World War. It draws on new material from the construction site bureau and sheds light on the diversity of the labourers who worked on the jetty.

The Swakopmund jetty was one of only two entry points to the colony of German South West Africa (GSWA) located on the Atlantic coast. It was first built as a silted-up mole at the turn of the century and then as a provisional wooden jetty during the colonial war of 1904–1908.

Yes, Swakopmund was known for its continued glorification of Nazism after World War II, with reports of Nazi salutes and celebrations of Hitler's birthday by residents. The city had a reputation for being "more German than Germany" during that time.

this was so good. it really helped link up a few things I've been thinking about. An interesting note is Thiel was raised in Swakopmund, Namibia; a little stand alone corner of the third reich town in Africa. Perhaps nostalgia or another "inspiration" for the stand alone city-state.

It’s not stupidity. Thiel has spend a large part of his childhood in Swakopmund (Namibia), where Nazi ideology was quite alive when he grew up there. His dad had an influential job in an uranium mine, where they didn’t treat the locals very well. This is a foundation for his ideology.

I keep getting the link to the tech bros article whenever I mention their cultural background. Also, school in South Africa was not Hitler Youth style, which is the picture everyone has. As for heil hitler in Swakopmund, this seems to be based on a single reference of locals making fun of visitors.

"Klaus Thiel moved his family to occupied Namibia to help the South African apartheid regime create a secret nuclear program. Swakopmund was infamously one of the last places where it was common to greet each other with Heil Hitler. The school Peter Thiel went to also celebrated Hitler’s birthday."

Swakopmund in that era sounds terrifying, especially when you consider how much the Nama and Herero genocides influenced the Holocaust.

Anyone planning on ICAR XII in Swakopmund in July… abstracts are due on Monday…

Swakopmund in South Africa is a Nazi stronghold and source of Musk, Peter Thiel eugenics agenda touted by Curtis Yarvin. A tech bro conspiracy embraced by wealth like Mark Andresson who think they are superior and genetically favored. These fucks think they will deem who is entitled to exist.

Swakopmund South Africa is the Nazi enclave where Musk and Peter Thiel have their Nazi roots. They embrace their eugenic Aryan heritage and tech bros are all fans of this fascist ideology. They think they are the chosen ones to rule because of their wealth and lack of morality.

mais bon étant allé à Sosusvlei, puis à Swakopmund, il se peut très bien que ce soit le même qui ait vieilli, même si le fond ne semble pas le même mais l'angle peut etre différent.
