Did you study history at school?

If so, what did you learn about how Hitler came to power?

He was a frustrated fool and an abused traumatized teen who was overly loved by the momma and then had the shit beat out of him DAILY after a certain age by the poppa...all for NO reason. That stuff happened to MOST Germans around those days snd way before....very authoritarian society...

Then the failure in his dreams.

Ordinary sympathetic guy...so far.

Then he got USED to be the dirty-work main spokesman for the EVIL created by the whole developed world around that time. Power/subjegation. The old orders feeling their ground slipping. Ressentment at the cruelty and pointlessness of WWI...... Then there was Japan and China and all that. Economic systems we barely could understand at clash with one another...

The world was already too "developed" and WWI had given the lie to development and clashes in politics and no concept of how fragile this planet really is r: mere survival. The need for ecological understanding, systems understanding....

The point though was that he was just a guy who ended up getting USED with some cooperation from himself. It actually happens to most of us on some level.

Why did we lose our moral compass in the world, all you good people??? Ask yourselves that!!!

Not totally different from Trump’s upbringing, reportedly. If there’s a formula, that might be it.
@bijouxbroussard if theres a parallel its time to neutralize it
