Call me crazy, but I think some of the biggest fucking bastards in human history simply needed someone to listen to them and help them learn how to self-regulate their emotions as children.
They’re all so consistently bitter and unhappy narcissists, and they drive away their loved ones because they have no idea how to listen and introspect. They also always try to lure others in with money because that’s what the only things they personally care about.
When someone criticizes my behavior, I legitimate think about it and I ask them what I could do differently that would make them happier to be around me, and I take that shit seriously even if it hurts to hear.
Sometimes it’s completely bogus, but if it matters to them, it matters to me, and that’s all that matters.
Fundamentally I think hate and anger are driven by fear and past wounds. But saying such things on social media can get you accused of condoning evil, “giving nazis a pass,” or whatever. People aren’t willing to think about what you’re saying until they decide if you’re wearing a white hat not a black hat.

If I had a time machine, I would try to find a way to stop Reagan rather than Hitler.
I think other time travelers will cover Hitler, so I think we should diversify our efforts in stopping other evil bastards around the world.

What if Hitler turned out the way he did because he was traumatized by all the time travelers who tried to kill him when he was a child?
