I kinda feel bad for Hitler, the way he was when he was small. I read his life story and I think he felt so insecure and bad about himself, his popularity, and his artistic talent. I think he found that he had a way to get people all riled up with his speeches, and when he realized he could influence people and feel accepted and admired, he went with it.
He also let Jewish people be a scapegoat for his own insecurities.
Yes. He was an awful, evil, man. But I do feel bad for the child that he was. And I kind of recognize the need for acceptance he felt and then totally used to f*** over an entire generation of people.
I guess the feeling I have is that if he wasn't beaten by his stepfather, and unaccepted and ridiculed by his peers, he would have maybe been a harmless eccentric artist and millions of people would not have died.
I think he was likely an aspie, and part of me feels for that part of him.
No, i do not think killing people is a good way to deal with personal problems. I just sort of see multiple viewpoints, especially when it comes to child abuse.
While I myself also have a smidgen of Jewish blood, I am first and foremost a Lutheran.
Not to worry, there's nothing wrong with feeling sympathy for Hitler back when he was a physically and psychologically abused child. Unfortunately, the hell that boy went through made him the monster he was in later life.
