The Nazis did do assimilation. Germanisation was put into effect under Generalplan Ost, Poles and other ethnic groups who had some Germanic blood could opt to give up their cultural heritage and adopt a German identity.
They could have done that with the Jews, too. Ashkenazi Jews are like majority German blood. Doing assimilation would have also made it so their leaders wouldn't be executed.

>evolution denier
It's sad how so many Christians fail to see what a demonic psyop evolution is. Glad to see you didn't fall for it man.
>wants a theocracy
Honestly, I was tempted to pick this option myself. I know Ethiopians who were coptic orthodox during their time technically had a theocracy from the 16th century until the fall of the monarchy. I greatly respect the Copts even if I do see them as heretics. I guess I'd sort of approve of an Eastern Orthodox theocracy but it has never been in our tradition so I'm reluctant to outright endorse it, which is why I picked an absolute monarchy over it. Since you're protestant I wanna know what exactly a protestant theocracy would look like, are there any examples in history?

i dont get evolution deniers
1. Nothing about evolution contradicts Christainity
2. not believing in evolution requires not believing in natural selection (which does exist, some organisms have a better chance of surviving than others due to their traits, this is a pretty simple fact) and inheritance (which is something i dont think is possible to deny). Evolution is a consequence of these things

It contradicts the genesis account and the writings of the church fathers and all 20th century Orthodox saints spoke out against it. Plus canon 3 of the council of trullo outright states the age of the earth at the time the council took place. Young earth creationism is the proper Orthodox view.

Do you believe in natural selection and inheritance? If you believe in those then you automatically agree with evolution existing. Were you taught the process of evolution in school?
I don't know any other historical examples of what I believe would be ideal as a Christian system of theocratic government besides that of some the early American colonies' religious governments, which, no matter their own specifics regarding how to govern with leaders or systems to choose those leaders, always focused on integrating faith into the culture and local laws of the land, instilling God's will into the morality of the people. Many of those who first came here to America from Europe were Protestant pilgrims, and, despite their plentiful disagreements with theology and how to practice the faith, these people established governments that were focused around leading simple lives that ensured devotion to The Lord and forming a culture that surrounded the church. A lot of these places used tax money collected from the population to support local churches, and church attendance was very much encouraged to the extent that systems were established to simultaneously promote further focus on the church while generating revenue to then expand these churches, an example being that the pews of some churches in territories like New England could be owned as an attending family's personal, reserved seating in order to raise further money to support the church. Life as a whole for the majority of those in these original colonies was surrounded by faithful living and a continuous focus on maintaining God's will. Even when "freedom of religion" was established following the American Revolution, it was intended by the Founding Fathers of the U.S not as a sign of welcome to all the foreign religions of the Earth in opposition to the Christianity these colonies promoted, but instead, because of how diverse our protestant denominations were between the states, a peace agreement between all of them and the federal government, suspending any sort of government-enforced persecution on any of the Christian peoples of the country from happening, thus showing that this legacy and culture of great faith first maintained itself even under a new republican system of governance, before the decline of Christianity with the heresies that sprung out of the nineteenth century. Now, as for what would be possible for my own country in the modern era, a shift into integrating Christian morals back into the legal system (recriminalizing homosexuality, hard ban on abortion, an end to child genital mutilation through chemicals and surgeries) would at least begin a return to the original Christian mindset that I'd say we lost near entirely in the 1950's and '60s. With these legal shifts, religious involvement into areas like the education system could then be initiated to help guide the population back towards thinking positively about faith in Christianity. Louisiana just recently succeeded in passing a law that would mandate the Ten Commandments be placed in every classroom in the state, so clearly wins like this show that there's some possibility for a new sweep of religious fervor across the American country, with God's blessing. Ultimately, I think a theocracy with Protestantism in mind, since there isn't a church hierarchy or system of leadership for us like in Eastern Orthodoxy or Roman Catholicism, would have to come about through a fierce and relentless legal combining of Christian principles with the current government type of whatever system the Protestants would previously be under, like a republic in my country's case, so the closest I can really come up with to define such a thing would be a theocratic Christian republic, preferably one that is not entirely modeled on the current system of democracy the U.S has, since, as Benjamin Franklin once said in response to what government the country should have, stating "A republic, if you can keep it" is the preferred system, we clearly haven't kept our republic because of how out-of-control it's gotten, thus violating that "if", so a shift towards a greater authority to keep us in line as we were some centuries ago (in the case of theocracy, God's authority) is desperately needed. Sorry if this response is a bit messily organized, I just returned from some farm work earlier today and my mind is a little tired
The thing with evolution or old Earth creationism is that, by believing that things killed each other before humans existed, you're directly denying that the first sin of Adam and Eve, as described in the Book of Genesis, caused the universe to fall and for sin to overtake our planet, which was what actually ignited things to begin killing each other. By doing this, you're directly contradicting Christianity, just from that.

All of these sound pretty good. I find that the Orthodox can sometimes in an ironic twist find more common ground with certain ultra conservative protestants than they do with Catholics. The Anglicans and the Orthodox were close to uniting with each other during the 60's and 70's, with the Anglicans wanting to be part of the Eastern Church. But this effort was ditched once the Orthodox saw that the Anglicans were going in a liberal (worldly) direction by accepting the ordination of women. It makes me wonder if in the future something like this can come to fruition for real.

Taking genesis literally is larp + that doesn't disprove that natural selection and inheritance. Even if you are a young earth creationist, evolution would've still occured in that 6,000 years.
