[UA] Hitler the Archetype

[Cassady Toles]

I don't buy Hitler as the conquerer, the warmonger, or even the genocide,
and I am Jewish.  Hitler was the demagogue.  I'm willing to say that he
ousted the old demagogue, but, really hitler was a man who was really good
at telling people what they wanted to hear.  

Before the beginning of WWII Germany was desperately screwed.  The German
Mark was worth less than nothing as a result of the ridiculously expensive
amounts of money they had to pay the old allied forces from WWI.  Germany
then prints more marks, the mark then becomes worth, literally, less than
the paper it's written on.  There are old primary sources talking about
wheelbarrows full of money being the price of buying a loaf of bread.  The
economy was in collapse, and it really wasn't Germany's fault.  So here
comes good old adolf.

It isn't your fault (everyone wants someone who they can blame but they can
do something about, they can't do anything about the old allied forces yet,
they don't have the money for an army and technically they aren't allowed to
get one anyway).  He blames Jews....

Fast Foreward to his transcendance.  He was the demagogue who first really
used media.  Several of his speeches are still available on film and now
video.  He's THE FACE, he's the man who's image became the image of his
movement.  He is the demagogue who became his quest.  He's the person to
bridge the gap between the path and the man who walked it.

He ousted the old demagogue, who was probably some old priest or something
from hundreds of years ago.  And now if you channel the demagogue, you're
channeling him.  Have a nice day...
