So I wonder, if you put enough rubber bands around someone’s head…

“
Your words wrap around my neck
like a noose that was not tied tight enough
to hang you up high enough,
and I can never seem to put my feelings
into sentences that are able
to make you see that I am absolutely
nothing without you.
See, there are a hundred languages
and a thousand different ways
that I could tell you that your smile,
in the morning, looks like breathing.
They cluck their tongues in some tribes,
they say ‘beautiful’ through hand movements
and eyelash flutters,
but I can only whisper it,
over and over,
against the corner of your mouth,
like a mantra or a prayer
‘I love you, I love you, I love you.’
But do you think love itself
could become its own language?
Could we use sympathy,
and stanzas to tell each other
that love is able to overcome
any obstacle,
and that when we are together
we are a match, we are striking
that we put forest fires to shame?
I realize, now, that we do not need
a hundred languages,
and we might not even need the one,
because when I look at you, with my eyes,
with my fondness, even for a second
I see you new, like it’s the first time
I learned how to speak.

I need to get back on my typewriter soon.

Do you understand how scary this picture is
god forbid a real person do real person things he wasnt just a robot who killed people jesus fucking christ
uh yeah its not like he killed and tortured six million jews or anything
Hold on just a tick. Listen, I’m Jewish, so I’m perfectly capable of understanding that what he did was just…..well, there are no words for it. But let’s not round it up to simply Jews that got killed. It was six million people that died in those camps, not just Jews. Did you know that homosexuals were sent there, too? Yeah, I’m sure you did. They had to wear special little symbols on their clothes. Do you know what it was? It was a pink triangle.
It was six million PEOPLE.
But you let that roll over in your mind for a while and you are going to forever see this man as a monster, but that’s not what he was. He was someone who thought he was truly doing something right for his nation, no matter how shitty he was doing it. Believe me when I say that I don’t like him. I really don’t. My grandfather’s brothers died in those camps, and my grandfather escaped to Spain, then to Mexico. He was lucky.
This is not a monster holding hands with a little girl.
This is Adolf Hitler, a man, holding hands with a little girl.
Yeah. It’s fucking scary. It really is. Do you know why?
It’s because you’re seeing that he wasn’t, in fact, a monster. You’re seeing in this picture that he was a man. He was a man, and that’s really the saddest part of it all.
As a History major who specializes in the history of early modern Europe, I’ve studied a lot of dictators in detail, not just Hitler. The number one mistake anyone could ever make in history is making the assumption that only inhuman monsters are capable of doing terrible things.
Stop dehumanizing Hitler just so you can reassure yourself that “normal” humans aren’t capable of doing bad things. Hitler liked children and dogs, he was a vegetarian and he cried like a little boy when his mother died. I’m not saying he was a good, innocent person, but when you stop attributing human characteristics to historical figures like Hitler, it’s how you overlook people just like him in real life, and it’s how people like him end up back in power.That’s the real truth: Human Beings are scarier than any ‘monsters’ out there because we’re all born blank slates and BECOME our legacy.
This is the best post I’ve seen in a while.
amen.
“Hitler was the most unabashed doe-eyed optimist of the last hundred years. Thats why he was the biggest monster. Have you ever heard anything as outrageously hopeful as the Final Solution? Not just that there could be a solution—to anything, mind you, while we have yet to cure the common cold—but a final one, no less! Full of hope, The Fuhrer was. A dreamer! A romantic, even, yes? If I just kill this one, gas that one, everything will be okay. I tell you this with absolute certainty: every morning Adolf Hitler woke up, made himself a cup of coffee, and asked himself how to make the world a better place. We all know his answer, but the answer isn’t nearly as important as the question. The only thing more naively hopeful than the Final Solution is the ludicrous dictum to which it gave birth: Never Again…” Hope: A Tragedy, Shalom Auslander pg. 39
