When you think that wars are just naturally won by people who are a genetically stronger, fitter, more badass kind of human And when you think therefore that any losses must only be the result of being stabbed in the back by Jewish infiltrators You become fucking stupid

We talk about the "Green Lantern theory of politics" and how destructive it is, but it's not just in politics In sports, in business, in any human endeavor, the Bad Boss is the guy who doesn't understand how anything works and thinks success is just a matter of *wanting it*

Lost in delusional fantasy about how he was going to abandon the German people, who were unworthy of him, and find a new, better country to lead, maybe in South America, someplace that didn't already have the Jewish taint, someplace *worthy* of being the Third Reich

Fascists are the ultimate Pointy-Haired Bosses, they have all the Pointy-Haired Boss traits in their worst form, of being completely disconnected from reality and determined to push the consequences of that disconnection on their underlings and go to their grave denying it
