"Sublimated Antisemitism" seems off topic
[edit]The entire "sublimated antisemitism" section feels off-topic for this article. The only connection it makes is that both von Ehrenfels and the Freikorps used water metaphors to describe Asians and Jews/Communists respectively, which is a very tenuous connection to make, since using drowning as a metaphor is fairly common and not very notable. The speculation about sexuality and masculinity also comes across as armchair psychology, and the whole thing about the Freikorps wanting to prove themselves as "hard men" against Jews and Communists has absolutely nothing to do with the Yellow Peril. It seems like someone just really wanted to talk about this book, rather than a genuine attempt to add to the article. 2A02:C7C:C8FF:6300:95B8:3F57:E7F1:DADD (talk) 20:01, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- I agree and deleted this very weak speculative section that has not gained support from other reliable sources. A "flood" of trouble is a too common a metaphor to support this speculation. Rjensen (talk) 20:33, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
