He had a variant of Kallmann Syndrome, like me... but instead of gender transitioning he 41-ed himself in a bunker.

Oh I see what they're trying to do. They're trying to link his behavior to a mental illness so that people would stop digging deeper into his reasoning. Well played, well played... But it's all cheap tricks to throw people off. If you really want to understand what motivated him, listen to him talk directly. It will shatter everything you think you knew about life.

@Salvijus it's sad to think, there was mass murder going on out east, before Hitler came into power. Essentially anything and everything they say Hitler did, the forces he was in conflict with were exceptionally worse. People acting like he came out of a vacuum and claiming he wanted world domination meanwhile the Comintern, also known as the Third International, was a political international which existed from 1919 to 1943 and advocated world communism.

I think at first he was genuinely motivated by, what he thought from his POV, was the glory and prosperity of the German people. Anti semitism was a pretty common occurence everywhere in Europe at the time, and had been for centuries prior. So he just adopted it as everyone else back then and painted them as the cause of what, in his view were injustices commited against Germany after the WW1. Although Germany did kind of deserve it even back then imo

Then, as the war turned against them, it was just a matter of inertia - fighting until the bitter end

All kind of favoritism for one thing over another in the universe is hate against the thing that oppose it.

if you prefer X over Y, it means you devalue Y as lesser than X.

means we are all condemned at being petty creatures.

Yeah, but the difference is most of us don't go on an extermination spree against those things we are biased against.

I am biased against skunks but I don't hatch a plan to kill them all.

That’s because they are not directly in your peripheral vision as a threat to the things you favor, and they basically seem to have zero impact on what you value (x), so (y) can do whatever.

If I could prove by absolute A + B, beyond any conspiracy, that Jews were the reason there aren’t ten hot girls knocking at your door constantly, you might become antisemitic too.

Of course this sounds delusional, but if your mind is convinced, and if it’s untrue, then like for most minds it’s just an active memetic parasite or a schizophrenic-like conception.

((Obviously, I don't think Hitler was mad for the lack of hot babes though))

I spent hundreds of hours contemplating Hitler and I came to the conclusion that he was just motivated by power. He was the most blood thirsty and power hungry man from that society. If Hitler wouldn't have existed another man with a different name but exactly as blood thirsty and power hungry would have done the same horrific things he did. He was the result of the German society after the loss of WW1. He embodied what the majority of Germans were. 

Also I came to the conclusion that Hitler was a leftist.

Look how extremist the Afd is and you will see that only the former communist east Germany votes for them in majority. 

In my society I see only those who long after communism, after central planning, after heavy industry, after nationalization of all the foreign private multinationals, they will vote a figure with a Hitler-esque discourse. 

In my country the counties that have voted all the time for the social democrats are now voting for the ultra nationalists fascists. 

I define as leftists people who expect the government to give them goodies and free stuff. 

I also define him as a leftist because he is the opposite of me. I never expected alms from the government, I never expected factories and all the stupid shit these ex communists that will vote for Hitler today expect, all I wanted was no theft, no corrupt institutions, transparency, good laws and bureaucracy that will allow the private sector to develop the country. I don't want a big government where all the thieves stuff the government apparatus with their loyalists and mistresses like the nazis and the communists did. So I am a centrist liberal, I am for liberal democracy which is opposite to this kind of leftism. I am of the right.

Don't overlook the force of simple conformity.

Antisemitism was the soup de jour.

At the end of the day all racists are conformists.

Also liberal democracy was as hated as the jews. Those backward citizens wanted a daddy that will fix all their problems, and when you have 80 million kids to feed, then you turn into Hitler no matter what. The more children you have, the more ruthless and bloodthirsty you gotta be to be able to provide for them. Those fools wanted Hitler to give them from jobs to houses to cars. Thats why I have concluded in my final analysis of him that he was a leftist. The only difference between him and Stalin is that under Stalin even the top industrialists would have been crushed and expropriated, Hitler allowed his friends to reap the rewards of enslaving 80 million people.

Like everyone else has said - it’s a confluence of factors. Jews were exiled from most economic activity so had to revert to moneylending and intellectualism / study which their religion / culture placed value on.

Those structural changes never changed until much later, which is why the persecution and pogroms kept occurring for centuries. Imagine being forced into a role, then despised for it when economic downturns inevitably come. Naturally, being in the business of money meant proximity to power - perhaps even a certain influence on power itself. Jews were a minority yet seen as being visibly powerful due to this, plus being concentrated in urban centres near wealthy elites.

They were familiar enough due to being widespread across Europe, yet distinct enough to be “other” as they maintained their identity. The historic expectation among the West was to be absorbed, not assimilated into society - the two get conflated. This counters Westerners beliefs about themselves being pluralistic and tolerant in the past. But just as the book Joshe shared on the previous page says - Jews didn’t “absorb” ie lose their identity, which is the expectation.

In the Middle East meanwhile they were structurally inside the system, rather than outside it. Even though they weren’t given equal status to the degree we speak of equality today - they were given protected status and recognised as “people of the book”. There was space for them and others. They also weren’t the only moneylenders as Islam provided alternative financial mechanisms and regulation - so couldn’t be scapegoated during hard times.

The gasoline on the fire is also theological as Judaism rejects Christ as the Messiah. Whilst theological differences are there between religions - the issue is that they were politicised and weaponised a lot more before. Medieval Christianity viewed Jews as cursed and eternally sinful for rejecting Jesus, while most of the Islamic world viewed them as mistaken cousins. Tensions still existed in the Middle East, but it rarely led to the type of exclusionary or violent pogroms like in Europe.

Another point is that they were at the edge of society in intellectual bubbles pushing novelty and new ideas. The past was way more conservative which meant being more resistant to novelty and avant gard type thinking. They were barred from universities and had their own systems of education, ethics and philosophy being built in the back drop of society.

So all this intellectual infrastructure was there - which means when modernity came and they were gradually accepted, they dominated most academic fields and were at the forefront of revolutionary thought and movements. Their over representation in all these movements easily gets conflated with them “controlling” all sides and being everywhere in society - but mostly it just them having a diversity of thought amongst themselves, and excelling in the world of thought which they had been involved in over centuries.

Today’s Zionism which started as settler colonialism and still continues till today, is obviously where things take a turn. The same pattern of ancient resentment is being triggered today but for very real injustices rather than injustices of the past that were attributed to Jews through association. It’s also easy to view Israels influence on the US today, and retroactively validate ideas about how Jews secretly controlled societies in the past. Israel’s present day behaviour isn’t helping rid these stereotypes at all and is in fact only cementing them.

 

Above on why Jews were specifically hated. Half truths are a bitch.

Hitler believing in Aryan purity is a joke:

That said - he tapped into real anger caused by conditions of economic collapse, humiliation, and identity crisis.

He critiqued elite exploitation but only those he defined as foreign or disloyal to the nation ie Jews and international globalists. But his own national elites exploiting the people because he needed them to rebuild Germany into a military machine.

The only valid thing is that private or a-national interests can subvert national interests - as is also happening today. But he racialized the problem into a scapegoat and mixed grievance politics with purity politics.

Then again - Hitler couldn’t have done what he did without the soil of anti-semitism already being there. He was a logical extreme end product of Western history - its nationalism, racial hierarchy theories, imperial logic, Christian antisemitism, industrial militarism, and belief in civilizational exceptionalism.

What was the main motivation according to this video ?

@Salvijus   I see you as quite a wise person.

Which is why I am curious about your recent fascination with far right figures.

First Charlie Kirk, now Hitler. What's going on ?

First He was Unconscious, that means he had no experience of the "Other", its was just him, so he was a supreme Narcsasstist..

Via that, then it comes down to his passion for his beliefs, Identifications and such... Thing change for these types of ppl, if they can gather some form of success, they can become very empowered, think they are God and their energy levels are unlimited, that is good in one way but bad for everyone around them due to their Unconscious nature and such, if they were Conscious Beings then it would empower everyone around them, in this case it disempowers so much that tons are killed by them..

So he was motivated by his Unconscious Narsassitic nature to have all the power and what he belief is right to come to fruition!
