Well, it's difficult to ignore, seeing as the connection is one which,
historically-speaking, was made explicitly by Nazi ideologues, and
reiterated by subsequent anti-Nietzscheans. (Though not, as far as I'm
aware, by neo-Nazis.) Hard to shove all that under the mat when considering
Blicero, GR etc.
