was also deep into the occult and had the supposed "spear of destiny" right up till about a month before he was defeated.
If you want to call him "impressive"... I'm not impressed by him... But he was defiantly something insane and bugged out... and powerful... very, very powerful. something to think about..
you have to admit, fucked up as it was, he knew how to work a crowd and get them to do what they wanted to do anyway. terrifying demigoguery.
He is one of my gramps' heroes. No joke. My gramps likes anyone who comes from nothing and makes a great life for themselves.
I'd not say top ten. But I can understand the infatuation since we don't get to hear about the real good ones in school.
Yeah he was a great leader & a great man. And don't get me wrong, by that I dont mean he was "a good man" or I idolise him. I think he was a ****. But he achieved greatness.
my grandpa permanently hated my mother because she married a "half breed." he was of the "the only good ****** is a dead ******" set. hard to believe. he was super smart. how freaky. how's smart and stupid so easily interchangeable? over a skin color. tsk. he loved his grandbabies, though, even dogs like me.
He was only powerful because the people GAVE him that power. They handed it to him on a silver platter. We didn't help the cause much, but hands down imagine if Bush came on national tv announcing a plan similar to that of hitler. It wouldn't fly. Hitler while not somebody to be fond of was impressive in his ability to lead and direct people.
i agree, he was totally fuking skrewed in the head, but he defenitly had leadership skills, its a very scary combination....
Hitler had no interest in the occult. That was based on disinformation fed to the British by a man named Louis De Wool. Later many of the Nazi occult myths were adopted by pop culture. There is no historic base to it.
Name one more impressive in what they lead others to do. Name one that lead more people into doing something they never would've dreamed of. Name a person more vicious yet beloved at the same time.
it wasn't about him, it was about him reading what people wanted to do anyway. that's not really leadership, it's opportunism.
My grandpa hated that I turned out more white because of my dad. haha when I was born he said I would be pretty if I didn't have that white man's beady eyes. lovely huh?
my grandpa left the res because they hated his irish wife. he was full blooded cherokee. hate...it's a bizarre thing.
