Mein Kampf
May. 7th, 2008 12:49 amI want to be an optimist. However *rawk* I think it is to be disillusioned and cranky and sarky and moody and muttering curses on humankind under one's breath - the people who are real role models to me are the ones who see the world without naivety and still manage to find beauty in it. You know? I want to be like that. Commenters on Youtube simply won't let me.
I have a look at a clip from Band of Brothers, and what do I find in the comments? Quote, " haha fuck the germans we beat your ass in ww1 and ww2 we can still beat your ass now", unquote. And other words of wisdom along the same lines. Sometimes I think Hitler had the right idea. Except for the fact, obviously, that he went after communists, intellectuals, homosexuals, and Jews. The gas chamber solution for people like safty1st, though? Keeps looking better and better.
But no. That's the wrong reaction, I know. And to be perfectly serious for a second: Hitler's crime was a crime against humanity. He saw himself as the saviour of humanity, though. Because he showed up when the time was ripe for radical change in a troubled society, and because he was charismatic and ardently believed in his cause - that is the reason that he was able to seduce enough people to gain the kind of power that he did. This does not mean that all Germans were Nazis. Nor does it mean that all Nazis were evil. If you think that, and if you think you and your countrymen could never be misled by a mad leader - well - then you're just a moron. It could happen anywhere under the right circumstances, as I believe safty1st has demonstrated beyond a doubt. Once you are of the opinion that a whole people, without exception, is beneath contempt; that's when you become the exact same kind of criminal that Hitler was. You twat.
PS: What exactly do you call the Guantanamo base, safty1st? Because I call it a concentration camp.
