Danielle Johnson was worried about the eclipse. 

The astrology influencer and “divine healer” who went by the name Danielle Ayoka online called the upcoming astronomical event “the epitome of spiritual warfare” and told people they needed to “pick a side,” in posts on X on April 4.

Less than three days later, in the early morning before the partial solar eclipse, Johnson left a trail of tragedy in her wake: her partner stabbed to death in the kitchen of the family apartment in Woodland Hills, her 8-month-old baby dead after being pushed from Johnson’s moving Porsche Cayenne on the 405, and Johnson herself dead after crashing her car on Pacific Coast Highway in Redondo Beach.

Look I get that Nazi groups have latched onto New Age ideas

They didn't just "latch onto it" my guy.

but we should attack it for its empty platitudes, rejection of evidence-based medicine in favor of what boils down to "Ignore the problem hard enough and it will go away", and how it enables sufferers of mental illness to give into their delusions instead of seeking help...

And its Nazism. I don't see why you struggle so hard to make an exception for this one thing. I mean I do see why, I just think it makes you part of the problem.

When we say it's secretly a Nazi thing, we just sound completely insane and like we're the ones peddling conspiracy nonsense.

It's not really a secret. Here's another one that's spreading and there's many such groups all over the world, founding private communes to indoctrinate kids and new members to spread their ideology. If you don't understand how big of an issue this is then I really don't know what else to tell you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringing_Cedars'_Anastasianism
