    I was just reading about how Hitler would stay up all night with guests, pacing back and forth, and spewing an endless stream-of-consciousness oration about his philosophies.

    Those guests must have heard a lot of this sort of nonsense.

          That’s America.

          Most CEOs, politicians especially the older ones, Hollywood, etc. are over medicated and get essentially legal meth in multiple forms. Hence the paranoia, insane sense of self and addiction to go go go culture. They’re all on stimulants.

    What Adolf felt was the inexplicable (to him) force of being propelled forward by sycophants who stood to gain power by riding his coattails.

    Hitler was a horrible person, enabled and amplified by equally horrible people around him. Part of him knew it didn’t make sense. He found a lie that worked for him -divine favor. Thankfully he eventually realized it was all a lie and shot himself.

    Between billionaires, fascists, and AI - humans appear prone to delusion if the individual does not receive friction from reality.

    Why are the crazies always getting into positions of power?

    Maybe need to get rid of elections and make it work like jury duty, or buildings with a resident’s association can take turns handling the building’s administration or communication with a third-party management firm.

    There’s a lottery, a bunch of people are elected randomly.
    They have to pass a minimum required education level check, and move on to the 4 years of training alongside other people in other places that get trained as replacements in case something happens to you, and next administration, you are the one in charge, like it or not.

      what happens if you dont care about others and just fuck around? Or just do the bare minimum. Randomly chosen people would probably be improvement over the corrupt shits we currently have, but wouldnt the random people also just accept the same corruption and do whatever the rich tell them to?

      there needs to be consequences for harming your country.

    The Nazis had teams of archaeologists running around the world looking for all sorts of religious artifacts. Hitler was a nut on the subject. He was crazy. He was obsessed with the occult.

        Yeah, IIRC there’s Hitler quotes expressing his displeasure with it. Partly because what they dug up in Germany was obviously not from a great civilisation.
