  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?

    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.

        I mean, I have zero fucking empathy for Trump or Elon because they are fucking nazis and there needs to be extremely severe punitive measures taken against them because that is the only consequence wealthy narcissists understand.

        I understand why they are that way, it does not mean they just get a pass for it.
