Perhaps teaching children to never question authority was a bad idea
I have always wondered about this sort of thing. Powerful people are only powerful because people choose to obey them.
Not even obey. Many people willingly follow along mostly because they think someone they don't like will get hurt. Trump isn't destoying the US on his own. He is being aided by a large portion of the conservative population.
Choice is the wrong word, it's rarely an honest choice
You know it's a bad idea when it's the military strategy to build obedient soldiers
Studies on obedience (e.g. replications of Milgrim Experiment) suggest a lot of factors play into people harming and killing others on behalf of an authority. Original was 65% of participants, but it can to up to 90% with men in authoritarian cultures.
My favorite was Australian women having the lowest rate of obedience in the shock experiment, at only 16%, being relatively individualistic and rebellious culturally, but even less obedient then men as women are less likely to confirm when it involves harming others. That may have changed in recent years though, as people more comfortable with authoritarianism tend to be more likely to obey.
Typically, people least likely to obey the order have better social intelligence and moral development. Unfortunately, those traits are far and few between lately...

There's a reason American fascists are trying to demonize the concept of 'empathy'.
This also applies to everyone in tech blindly contributing to the AI bubble and the rise in fascism
As long as conservatives continue to live, the normal people will continue to be oppressed.
If not for conservatives, the epstein class could be charged with crimes, forced to pay fair wages and be required to pay fair taxes. If not for conservatives, capitalism could be regulated, climate change could be addressed, housing prices and wealth inequality could be cured, for-profit prison camps could be abolished and genocide could be resisted.
Every invasion and every genocide in human history has been led exclusively by conservatives. They are truly, deeply evil and will never change. Never. Only their complete erasure can bring us peace.
Does Hitler killing himself not count?
Probably assumed he escaped to Argentina so left it at 0.
Pretty safe to assume he went somewhere because he wasn't in that hole. Dental records confirmed that.
Sauce?
Pretty sure thats the one.
He was a war hero from WW1 so it was presumably a bit higher than that, but the vibe is there.
Also both the Holocaust numbers and war deaths are wrong so I'm very curious about where exactly 13 million came from, especially considering one of the things Nazi did was militarize law enforcement even more than Germany already did, which was considerable.
Ironically that was the best thing he ever done
Just goes to show that bad people can do good things, and vice versa.
What about Eva Braun?
She committed suicide with a cyanide capsule.
What about his dog
IIRC, in the movie Downfall, some of his men makes it bite down on a cyanide capsule.
I still need to watch that movie. Been seeing the memes of his rant about Steiner for 22 years. Few things bring me more joy than watching a very well acted Hitler Mental Breakdown.
