>>2410759I hear you. At the same time, despite all their obvious flawed ideology, the Nazis were the only ones to militarily resist the manufactured dissolution of their entire way of life. Hitler is just a symbol of what we wanna be like, not what we wanna be.
As far as your anti-war stance, I understand the sentiment but in the real world that shit doesn't wash. Struggle, combat, death, defeat, triumph are all characteristics of human psychology. There is no such thing as a peaceful utopia. As a species, we are defined by trauma. The wisest among us direct that energy toward being better today than what we were yesterday. It's evolution. Those who can't mentally or physically come to terms with that are unfit to procreate & their bloodlines will perish.
Maybe that doesn't mean anything to an over-socialized, anti-family millenial NEET - but it still means something to us who embrace our humanity - the ugly as well as the beautiful.
As far as Hitler goes, he was smart & persuasive & anti-commie & that's why people idolize him. But you're right when you say babby's first hero. The truth is inside of every man & the people who engage in any kind of hero-worship or cult of personality stuff just haven't figured it out yet. I admire Hitler but he was a murderous Leftist with a drug addiction & too many weird pseudo-beliefs for me to ever take seriously beyond Mein Kampf. Also he killed Americans so fuck 'em.
