Wasn't it one of little dicktators henchmen that said empathy is weakness just recently? It sounds like it might be something Kegsbreath would say but I could be wrong. So many of your prez's followers seem to believe that. Maybe giving his "war fighters" testosterone might cure them of that terrible flaw in their character.
"Just as terror… ruins all relationships between men"
Fear is a favorite weapon of cults, making us more vulnerable & easier to control. The antidote is community and empathy! @empathyavengers suit up! 🦸🏻♀️🦸🏻♂️🦸🏻
I've always thought of solipsism as self worship. The ego as god.That everyone else exists solely to serve oneself.
The idea of group solipsism is new to me, but it makes perfect sense.
To the right wing, the bete noire, has been 1. a cabal of Jews, 2. International financiers (which are a cabal of Jews as epitomized by George Soros 3. The Illuminati and Council on Foreign Relations, all of those were invisible, faceless, except for George Soros and say the Rothschilds.
However we do have the faces. Trump, Thiel, Vance, Miller, Musk, Sacks, Ellison Cook, Bezos.
In the 1930's, names like Prescott Bush. Henry Ford, Krupp, Porsche, who acted through lesser solipsists like Franco,Mussolini and Hitler.
These lack the charisma, the ability to grab attention and manipulate the masses, so they need a stooge by which to carry out their plans.
However the stooge is a potential threat, a golem, which when brought to life, attains power and acts on its own, to the detriment of its creators as Ferdinand Porsche and Alfred Krupp discovered
The golem, named Donald Trump, which they created will, when it dispenses with it and their enemies, will turn on its creators. but. and alas, by then many of us will be ground beneath their heel, and with a jack boot on our neck
How does one convey to a group of solipsists, that the creature they have created will eventually turn on them
The first sign will be the total collapse of the very thing, that motivates the solipsist. It's wealth and power. and that is not too far off, as Trump's insane war is headed towards tank bottom of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve )SPR) ,and the actual price of oil is over $100 a barrel and climbing.
The whole of the world is suffering, not only for oil, but urea, sulfur.helium all essential to production of food and technology. And the mined minerals can't be transported to market, for lack of diesel.
There is one beneficiary though, China, while America and the west have been depleting their SPR, China has been building theirs. What tankers do get through the Strait of Hormuz (SOH) are Chinese owned, if not Chinese flagged.
The dollar as the world reserve currency is on the way out, the petrodollar is being replaced by the petroyuan
Iran will accept only the yuan (Remimbe), or stable coin for payment of oil and fees collected for safe passage through the SOH.
Trump has to see the hand writing on the wall, and is panicked rushing to put finishing touches on his dictatorship, one that can survive the inevitable economic collapse, and one which will dominate and terrorize the very men that created this golem.
Congress gave him his on personal Liebstandarte, his GESTAPO,his SS, his Sturmabeitlung.and it is being trained and gaining practice rounding up immigrants
It reminds me of the Frankenstein films. Not so sophisticated but little dicktator isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. The monster they created turns on them. The canabalisation of the richest people on earth. Can't wait!
Well I read the flyleaf of the book so I will definitely be checking it out of the library. Soonest. I read a lot so found I couldn't afford to buy anymore. I mostly read fiction and never read a book twice so it seemed pointless lol. So, Hitler bought the poor with the promises he made regarding Social Nationalism. Hated Democratic Socialism. Why do these nutters adopt "nationalism" as a way to recruit? I'm of mixed race and have lived in many countries so maybe that's why I can't buy into this national pride stuff. Good thing too, they go off the deep end with their flag waving and such. I would never betray my parents countries of origin but neither would I die for them.
Darn it! Another one got away. Did he by chance flee to Argentina because they didn't have an extradition treaty. So many of those that "got away" did. No wonder little dicktator loves Argentina! He already paid Milei £40M was it? As a down payment! Thanks William, I'll read that link you sent and comment later. I'm slow but I get there eventually. ('-')
Krupp was arrested by the allies, sentenced at Nuremberg, spent 12 years in prison was pardoned, and eventually resumed management of the Krupp company.
You will appreciate the Crime and Punishment of IG Farben. The book is a free download. I G Farben was a conglomerate. In the book we learn that as the allies were fighting their way across France and Germany.,, the representatives of Opal, Porsche, Krupp, Bayer (who made the gas used in the chambers), were meeting with representatives from American corporations in Switzerland, strategizing as to how to save the German corporations.
I wish my dad was still alive. I'd have liked to ask him more when I became and adult. He was in the British army for 24 years, which is why we travelled, and because he spoke several languages he was one of those recruited to take witness statements for the Nuremberg Trials. What he heard affected him greatly. When he died I found out he didn't want any military presence at his funeral. He was not proud of what he witnessed during his time served. He originally joined up because his father came back a vegetable case because of mustard gas during the First World War. Dad told me his father used to sit in the window looking out at the street he grew up on knitting socks for the soldiers. Also that he was struck mute. That's something that sticks with him. Trench warfare wasn't comfy billets with cooks and clean bedding. Dad felt that Hitler needed to be stopped. He signed up in 1936.
You must be about my age. My dad joined the US Marine Corps in 1937, was the adjutant of the 1st joint Assault Signal Company as it liberated the Marshal and Marianna islands.. seriously wounded in Korea, died on the operating table, open heart surgery, at age 44 in 1962
Fascinating and vital commentary, Jim. Empathy is a super power that these fascist losers can not fathom.
Naziferatu's speech the other day at the State Dept. was truly one of the most evil, hateful speeches I have ever seen in my life. The man is so devoid of decency and empathy, that it is shocking he has a wife and kids. He has the nerve to yell about Leftists being deformed. Has he ever looked in a mirror?

I learn a new relevant word every week because of you. For how many years now? Your work is the most important! 🔥🔥

Enjoy the World Cup, Jim.⚽🥅
You are very empathetic, Jim, and it’s something I especially admire about you.

I paid Hitler by Alfred Krupp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006APEIW?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback once he realized what he had done, he turned against the monster he created and had to flee Germany.

Same to you Jim! 😊
Jim, your writing nourishes and enlightens my curious soul. I can't thank you enough. :)
thank you; this has inspired me to begin reading Arendt again

We have one hell of a fight on our hands.
