After Covid I no longer wonder how the Germans supported Hitler. 95% of Americans today would make the same mistake
Hitler was a very charasmatic leader, in touch with the troubles of the country. Compared to Kamala or even Trump, Hitler would be viewed very positively in America. If Germany had won the war, most would probably view Hitler positively to this day. Most of human perception of icons and historical figures is not determined by primary knowledge, but through second hand communication of ideas.
¿ Esos estados unidos que bombardearon con bombas nucleares Hiroshima y Nagasaki y bombardearon Dresden aún Alemania que se rindió?
Tal cual, ni Hitler fue tan malo como nos contaron, ni los aliados fueron tan buenos como nos contaron.
Caia, Hitler no habla burritos
😂
The Austrian defiance. That’s why. German German Uber Alexa https://image.nostr.build/a7297c16c1ee51e8a87cc219bbc2c3239f92955659944192a5a4236a88eb83b0.jpg
Austrian fictives
Exactamente.
Very few humans strive to actively shed bias, think critically and live by principles consistently applied across all situations. This is work. Shit, most people struggle simply to keep their own body, the vehicle that permits them life on this rock, healthy. Amazing. More people need to put in the work, more people need to strive to be the best human they can be. Until then, humans will continue to look toward/give obedience to authority because they themselves are not yet enough. Sad but we see this replicated time and time again.
And hardly anyone who chimes in has read a Dalton translation of My Struggle.
Look up the parralels between Trump and Hitlers campaign strategies and "the big lie" Tons of Americans literally fall for the exact messaging strategy every day today. Also, I love that you choose violence every morning.
