Do you want a medal? She never fails, nor has she ever disappointed. To whom else would a person pin all their hopes and joy?
We were discussing young Stalin today. You wrongly assert that he is attractive. Therefore, you are now Hitler. Missa ab iPhona mea est.
It's said you can't kill a ghost because it's already dead, but I'm pretty sure Wocky is going to test this hypothesis.
There's that Libyan warlord whose name looks a lot like "Hitler", and every time I see him mentioned I get that connotation in my head.
What are you talking about "wrongly?" Even Point Given and @Yané's_Boy concede young Stalin's attractiveness Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Initially, not even Hitler was the Hitler of his time--and this paradox is Hitler. Hitler was the last Sun God; people died for him, willingly, even when Berlin was falling apart around them. (He instructed his architect, Albert Speer, to sculpt maquettes showing projected Welthauptstadt Germania in ruins: as if it had already existed for over a 1,000 years.) His very essence was destruction. Without Hitler, World War II would have played out like World War I, like the Franco-German War, or like any other war. Hitler's unique contribution was the Holocaust. And one thing you should remember about the Holocaust is that it was systematic and bureaucratic, executed by people who weren't necessarily good or evil (or antisemitic), but open to everything. Had Hitler been a force of good, someone like Albert Schweitzer, his followers would have gone around carrying out good deeds and building hospitals with the same fervency with which they organized the destruction of millions of Jews (and homosexuals, Romani people, the disabled, political prisoners, Freemasons, old people, children, and eventually just everyone). I realize this thread is a joke of course, like I'm always joking about Hitler, but it can't hurt to point out that Hitler started out as a joke (see the Chaplin film), as a theatrical clown, which is why initially he wasn't the Hitler of his time. People joked about his appearance: that hair, that moustache! And his voice, his crazy gestures... People voted for him for a laugh. They signed up for the Waffen-SS as a joke. They ended up with a very funny bullet hole in their head in the Russian snow. Carry on...
Nein. It's a train of thought, that's how I write. Hitler was a paradoxical figure--but saying that about him is a paradox in itself. That's what I try to convey. There has never been anyone like him, not even remotely like him, yet he's a favorite when it comes to comparisons, which is, I assumed, the gist of Dani's thread.
It wasn't intended to be, I was just trolling Wocky. But I do appreciate the meaning you've added to it. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
