@TheUserNameofPeace to what extent was Hitler the one actually calling the shots? Were there puppet masters?
Yeah
Actually I really understand this deeply, at least from the starting point of his rise to power.
@Markomann I've had women tell me they don't want a baby because they don't want to damage their vagina.
@TheUserNameofPeace National socialism itself was more of a religion than a political movement
As to when I started to lose power, certainly it's when the bureaucracy grew larger and more independently powerful.
Boorman's rise shadow's Hitler waning
imo
Basically, someone like Hitler derives his power from the people
He moves those people through deep forces, which aren't totally rational.
@Colonel J (The Sheriff) what the fuck is that caption <:tucker:587843675413807106>
And its his continued ability to appeal to those people that grants him continued authority against an ever rising bureaucracy
Whenever such a leader loses that tie to the people, his power diminishes
Just read that caption as well <:tucker:587843675413807106>
@WWM you're talking about cult figures. I wouldnt call hitler a cult leader though
"cult"
Hitler spoke to the archaic portions of the People, as well as the rational side.
He was a master at this.
He called people to *transcendent action*.
And I identify that as religious
what differentiates a religion from a cult in your opinion.
just asking
the second one looks like my grandad
Those pictures are pretty humanizing
Religions have a formal method of replacing leadership.
so formal vs informal
@vicmaxim usually not a lot
Religions usually have more worked out dogmas
They are more institutionally robust
Cults don't have a method of replacing leadership. They end with the leader.
Where's the gif of that girl giving Adolf her foot?
Yes
Cults tend to be personality centered more solely
Ok now its comming together
some of you will get the basdf last
@TheUserNameofPeace Was Hitler the one with the vision calling the shots, or was he just a mascot used by other people for their vision?
@Trommm Started as the former, ended as the later
At least more towards the later
I read Mein Kampf, and it seemed like all of the ideas came from him. But then I heard Mein Kampf had multiple authors.
