I never understood how normal, kind Germans in the 1920s could be so brainwashed that they'd turn into monsters just a few years later.
Now I've lived through it and seen the same transformation within my own family. It's incredibly sad.
"Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than “politics.” They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. You know who weren’t nice people? Resisters." - Naomi Shulman
Mocking others he disliked
This video exists And honestly that should have been the end of the campaign.
The only time Trump ever told the truth was when he said "I could shoot someone on 5th Ave and not lose any supporters" all he would have to do is say they were a pedo Democrat and he'd gain support...
Uhh who wrote this? No source.. do u expect me to just take it as fact? why do u insult me?
You seem to think everything I post is a personal attack against you. First you thought a post about Elon Musk was about you, now you think a post about Donald Trump is about you. I don't even know you.
Lol.. 🤣 no , my intelligence is insulted because no source/ citation..
It's a memes community.
Wow you didn't write a fully sourced dissertation on this meme?! Shame on you.
I was going to, but I could decide on MLA or APA citation format, so I just dropped the whole thing.
The real controversy is always in the comments!
1- Why did you post a historical/ journalist piece in the memes community?
2- What is your end goal posting this bit in the meme community?
3- So the first mistake is posting in the wrong sub, the second one is refusing to cite, passing it as a legitimate source for the young naive unsuspecting generation .. Even though i am no Sherlock, my confident bet is that your intentions aren’t good.. Whatever your replies may be, you already did and the damage is done , this is your contribution to the Lemmy community..
4- Taking account all of the above, even if your intentions aren’t malicious (which I doubt) , you have no actual excuses … except that you are lazy.
Figure it out for yourself.
Figure it out for yourself.
Fuck off.
See above.
I completely agree with you. However, anyone can write anything and as long as it is what people want to hear it will be spoken of as truth. No source required. But if you write something that people do not want to hear, even with sources, many people will not listen and will attack you. Tis a crazy thing about us humans with our biases. Some studies in this human trait would be interesting and beneficial.
Well, u get my upvote because i like promoting intellectual individuals.. As a side note , as a person living in an actual third world country, i warn that perhaps a few first world countries have their status hanging by a thread, if it isn’t for a few intellectual and selfless persons carrying the burden of the rest.. #RIP #AndrewBreitbart
So just like any extreme narcissist?
No, NPD is a social disability that causes great distress to the patient. Trump is not socially impaired and is not distressed by his ego, so it's not NPD.
Here's a decent litmus test for whether someone is disabled or an asshole: if you can feel sympathy for them, can see that the whole world is against them, if you feel sorry for them and want them to be helped, it might be a disability. If they're a famous politician and billionaire with millions of fans, they're not disabled, they're an asshole.
What kinda bullshit is this? "Only people i feel sympathy for can be disabled" is the dumbest take of the week.
People can be disabled and assholes at the same time. There are lots of mentally ill people that i dont feel sympathy for, because they are also horrible people. Hitler most certainly had some level of mental disorder and so does Musk.
You cant easily see from the outside if anyone is distressed or not so your entire line of thinking is flawed.
Musk's mental disorder is autism. And if someone were looking at this here meme and saying "Yeah, that's how all autists act", we'd call that person a bigot. Because they are.
The reason sympathy and mental disorder ought to be correlated, is because the DSM exists to identify patients in need of treatment. The purpose of a diagnosis is to help someone. To give them easier access to medical treatment. Therefore, saying Trump has NPD is helping him. You shouldn't do that, he's a nazi!
If you deny reality in order to further your political strategy, you are on the way to being a fascist yourself.
Reality was invented by fascist old men in Europe. Belief in reality is fundamentally fascist.
There's one in specific I think you know is being referred to. And not the one in the photo, one that is, unfortunately, alive today.
I actually thought of Musk first but Trump or Putin or any other dictator probably also fits. Generally most high level politicians are probably like this, but maybe to varying degrees of severity.
Is Putin considered petty?
