FIGHTING HITLER TODAY

 

 

You would think- well, at least I think(!)- that we would have learned the
lesson of history with the disasters that Hitler brought about on this
planet and the World War that followed that eventually stopped him.  His
ideas of white supremacy led him to think he had the right to terminate
inferior races that led to all sorts of human evil to humans.

Question: What drove him into such sick and distorted thinking? 

Answer: His own sick state of inferiority and his ugly "solution" by putting
others down so he could lift himself up.   See Games Hitler Played (Feb.
2000) which is on  <http://www.neurosemantics.com/> www.neurosemantics.com
for an analysis of the frames that drove him and some of the historical
factors that led to that disaster.

 

The tragedy over the weekend by the fanatical "white racists" (the
neo-Nazis) in Charlettsville North Carolina sadly indicates that the thought
viruses that informed Hitler continues to feed hate and shameful prejudice.
>From a psychological perspective, I would guess that those who are attracted
to that message but similarly struggle with low self-esteem and falsely
think that they will help themselves by putting others down.  An obviously
toxic way of thinking!

 

True enough, the first amendment of the US Constitution gives them and
others the right to speak whatever they want to speak even if it is wrong
and stupid.    We do not have "free speech" only when we are right.  Even
ignorant and uninformed people, even prejudiced people have the right for
"free speech."  What it does not give is the right to do is to hurt, hit, or
wound those who disagree.  This is where protests is one thing, riots are
another.

 

As it takes two to have a fight, I say this to the anti-protesters -stay
away.  While I agree with you about anyone who is racist and especially
anyone who is a neo-Nazis - if there were no anti-protesters present at the
protest, then the neo-Nazis protesters would have no one to fight with!  Let
them protest the removal of a statute.  So what?   Let them say whatever
stupid things they want to say.  Stay home and stop giving them energy and
someone to fight.

 

Social movements and beliefs grow with there is resistance.  The resistance
feeds it.  As long as the neo-Nazis do not have any "power" to actually do
anything, the best way to fight them is to leave them alone!  Treat the
non-sense of their idealogy as irrelevant and meaningless.  When we fight a
psychological error of stupidity, we give it energy.  We treat it as real.
Conversely, when we treat it in the same way we would treat someone's idea
of alien's possessing human bodies -the idea gets little attention, little
energy, and hopefully will pass.
