@HisEmptyHouse Look up several documentaries by Adam Curtis on youtube about Freudian psychology for more on that subject and the damage its over-promotion did to American culture.
I'm not defending Hitler, mind you - just that we had some very fucking crazy ideas about human psychology that did a lot of damage here, and helped inspire a lot of kids to rebel in the 60s.
@HisEmptyHouse Weirdly this is kind of a caricaturing of attitudes about Freudian human psychology that were running around during the time. I.E. Human emotion should be bottled up and controlled.
The reality is that Hitler appeals to irrationality AND mass conformity while denying people their emotional connection towards others - i.e. empathy victims of nazis. The rampant individuality of expressionist artists was VERY hated by the nazis who sought to totally control how people felt.
I love the way they drew Hitler with his sharp teeth and pointed fingers! And I love it when the German emotion says, "The whole world is against our peace-loving Fuhrer!" Very thought provoking cartoon, one whose point is still, sadly, valid.
They didnt even try to speak german
