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
Fundamentally
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.
The real assurance of leadership is to have the rhetoric and spirito-religious abilities of Hitler in conjunction with a tight personal hold on some form of hydraulic despotism.
Hess didn't add his own content?
I always heard he wrote it in prison
Hess was his cell mate .
Editors usually change works, Trommm, a bit
Normal
Hitler had a lot of tutors so I wouldnt be suprised a lot of his ideas would sound like someone elses
which is why Mein Kampf reads a little chaotically
We all inherit ideas
And then hopefully work from them to something new
We inherit memes as Dawkins says
we are meme replicators
idk
JF balks a bit at that
In his book
lol
