Yeah I'm beginning to think everything wrong with people is the result of poor childhood development.

Wild that ayn rand instantly pops into my head and yet still works.
can some body explain ? Captain ?
The notion that the Nazis were competent is a retcon
Depends.
Not competent at:
- running a successful economy
- building a stable future
- balancing the budget
- etc
Competent at
- spending other people’s money
- ruining a state
- building rockets
- industrial scale murder
- convincing idiots they’re competent on stuff they’re most incompetent
- etc
Counterpoint: They were not that good at building rockets because they killed more people during production than were killed by the rockets.
They were gonna kill those people anyway. You can't measure the success of a project if you don't understand the goals.
Capitalism in a nutshell.
You forgot they continued building rockets after WW2. 😊
Yeah but von Braun didn’t have slave labor building Apollo
That wasn’t the point. And don’t forget that the USSR also had some help getting Laika into space.
I also meant to convey the off-topic sub context that a lot of Nazi walked away Hans Landa Style but without scar. A lot of Nazis weren’t punished, Nixon was pardoned, etc. We should stop allowing clemency in these cases.
Agreed. Humans are and always have been terrible.
Yeah they were psychotic crackheads that ran their country into the ground too. Almost like there is some kind of through line with fascist thinking.
Well, meth, but still
Yeah, and they were grifters too.
It does feel like stupidity makes people buy into conservatism, and then fuck everything else up.
Its fear and anxiety that make them stupid.
Its the other way around. People are afraid of what they don't understand.
Ignorance of a world with an ever changing social structure, drives fear and anxiety in those who don't understand that. That fear and anxiety can be exploited at large to get people to make irrational decisions that benefit only a few.
There are levels.
WWII Nazis are far more competent than today’s Nazis.
Like there is an order of magnitude in the difference
Oh yeah, you have to be at least 10^4^ dumber to follow an ideology that lost so miserably
Exactly, it constantly amazes me how we have all our history lessons and yet our idiots are extra idiotic.
It’s as if education had the opposite effect on a certain group.
That's their secret: it always has been both. They want to destroy the culture that created a feminism where women don't want to fuck them, so their master plan is to purge society of these ideas at any cost, even the collapse of the state and the economy and their own impoverishment.
The Nazis were never economically viable, but they succeeded at turning the Institute of Sexual Science into a historical footnote and delaying queer liberation by 70 years.
Women didn't want to fuck them before, they were just forced to. Feminism didn't make women not want to fuck men, feminism was born because women didn't want to service men.
The leaders at the top are just useful idiots. Trump barely knows where he is and is asleep half the time.
The ghouls around him and out of the spot light though know exactly what they are doing and are enriching themselves greatly while everyone watches the emperor with no clothes.
Sure you always get a couple true believers in the bunch but the ones you need to concern yourself with are not showing up on Fox News to spout off about trans people in the military or whatever.
Unless it is a master plan, like turning political rap into gangster rap.
