Munich, Gathering of the SA -- Speech of November 9, 1921
== Front page is confusing! ==
On November 9, 1921--just five days after the Battle of the Hall (Saalschlacht) where fewer than fifty SA
Men had beaten back more than 400 communists and Jews who had tried to disrupt Hitler's speech in
the Festival Hall of the Hofbrauhaus--Adolf Hitler addressed a gathering of SA Men. The following is
what he told them:
For us there are only two possibilities: either we remain German or we come under the thumb of the
Jews. This latter must not occur; even if we are small, we are a force. A well-organized group can
conquer a strong enemy. If you stick close together and keep bringing in new people, we will be
victorious over the Jews.


1. We must call to account the November criminals of 1918. It cannot be that two million Germans
Hello. :) I'm thinking the front page is not very introductory - it doesn't suck you into a wiki rabbit hole like every wiki should! It needs more links to other pages and sections. I think perhaps a link to [[Special:WantedPages]] and maybe [[:Category:Nonbinary identities]] might be a good start? --[[User:Cassolotl|Cassolotl]] ([[User talk:Cassolotl|talk]]) 01:36, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
should have fallen in vain and that afterwards one should sit down as friends at the same table with
traitors. No, we do not pardon, we demand - Vengeance!
2. The dishonoring of the nation must cease. For betrayers of their Fatherland and informers the gallows
is the proper place. Our streets and squares shall once more bear the names of our heroes; they shall not
be named after Jews. In the Question of Guilt we must proclaim the truth.
3. The administration of the State must be cleared of the rabble which is fattened at the stall of the
parties.
4. The present laxity in the fight against usury must be abandoned. Here the fitting punishment is the
same as that for the betrayers of their Fatherland.
5. WE MUST DEMAND A GREAT ENLIGHTENMENT ON THE SUBJECT OF THE PEACE
TREATY. WITH THOUGHTS OF LOVE? NO! BUT IN HOLY HATRED AGAINST THOSE WHO
HAVE RUINED US.
6. The lies which would veil from us our misfortunes must cease. The fraud of the present money-
madness must be shown up. That will stiffen the necks of us all.
7. AS FOUNDATION FOR A NEW CURRENCY THE PROPERTY OF THOSE WHO ARE NOT OF
OUR BLOOD MUST DO SERVICE. If families who have lived in Germany for a thousand years are
now expropriated, we must do the same to the Jewish usurers.
8. WE DEMAND IMMEDIATE EXPULSION OF ALL JEWS WHO HAVE ENTERED GERMANY
SINCE 1914, and of all those, too, who through trickery on the Stock Exchange or through other shady
transactions have gained their wealth.
9. The housing scarcity must be relieved through energetic action; houses must be granted to those who
deserve them. Eisner said in 1918 that we had no right to demand the return of our prisoners - he was
only saying openly what all Jews were thinking. People who so think must feel how life tastes in a
concentration camp!
Extremes must be fought by extremes. Against the infection of materialism, against the Jewish
pestilence we must hold aloft a flaming ideal. And if others speak of the World and Humanity we say
the Fatherland - and only the Fatherland!


==SIEG HAIL!==
I also just created [[style guide]], which should probably be somewhere obvious, unless folks want to wait until it's a bit more fleshed out? --[[User:Cassolotl|Cassolotl]] ([[User talk:Cassolotl|talk]]) 02:03, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
:[[User:Cassolotl|Cassolotl]]: I started making a nicer design for the main page [[User:NeoMahler/tests|here]], using the color scheme of the non-binary flag. I have incorporated your changes there, tell me what do you think! There's just one thing I don't like: new users or casual visitors don't need a list of templates. Templates are just maintenance stuff, that can attract potential editors, but they shouldn't be in the main page. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 15:27, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
::[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]]: I'm fine with all of that. :) --'''[[User:Cassolotl|<span style="color:#008000">Cassolotl</span>]]''' ''<small>([[User_Talk:Cassolotl|talk]]) <span style="color:#808080">pronouns: they/them</span></small>'' 21:52, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
 
==Keeping sexist language out==
I know it can help new binary [[allies]] to say "both", but it contradicts the rest of the sentence by suggesting that there are only two genders. I think this could be viewed as sexist, even if the writer had good intentions.
:{{ping|Otvm}} thanks for pointing out! I have rewritten the sentence, tell me what do you think about it now (I have also removed the contradiction of "their gender can be neither"). I just added "both ''binary'' genders", because while it's true that there are more genders, there are just two binary genders. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 23:58, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
