Strength Through Joy? It's Been Done Before & Another Big Endorsement for "You know who?"

Joy Isn’t Always What It Seems.

Someone wrote me and said “Google Strength Through Joy”.

So I did.

There seems to be a lot of talk these days about Joy, the restoration of Joy and uniting us through Joy.

On the surface it sounds good.

Who is against Joy?

What I found could be coincidence but as a former journalist it raises my curiosity.

It’s interesting what Google turned up so I share it with you.

The following is from an article I also found.

I don’t trust Google anymore.

“Strength Through Joy (Kraft durch Freude) was set up in Nazi Germany so that all aspects of a worker’s non-working time were looked after. Strength Through Joy supervised after-work activities, holidays and leisure time. Strength Through Joy served two main purposes. The first was to ensure that no one had too much time on their hands to get involved in untoward activities against the state. There was a belief that idle hands might get involved in anti-state misdemeanours. The second main purpose of Strength Through Joy was to produce an environment within Nazi Germany whereby the average worker would be grateful to the state for providing activities and holidays that in ‘normal’ circumstances they could not afford as individuals.”
