We discuss a lot of things related to authoritarians, history, and politics here in the Politics subforum.
I just discovered this: a US intelligence service "psychological profile" of Adolph Hitler. Worth reading for historical perspective.
https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CI ... 0001-5.pdf
The table of contents is interesting. I have not yet tried to think about what parts of this were accurate or inaccurate or how we could know, but it looks like it might be interesting reading for background.

Is it biblical? Is it Christlike? Is it loving? Is it true? How can I find out?

Re: OSS Psychological Profile of Adolph Hitler
Really, Boot?
Do we really need to read CIA reports on... Hitler?
Do we need to be thinking about, studying, or reading about, Hitler, at all?

When was it written? It was obviously before the end of the war but I'm curious when exactly.Bootstrap wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 4:07 pm We discuss a lot of things related to authoritarians, history, and politics here in the Politics subforum.

Re: OSS Psychological Profile of Adolph Hitler
i got over my fear of DJT after he was in office for several months, i distinctly remember it was not TEOTW.
biden in office has made me miss DJT. with “normal” politics, i’m uneasy about life and the future for young people.
those who profit from “normal” politics are clearly dedicated to ensuring they keep the money flowing in their direction.
to each their own.

Most or all of this drama, humiliation, wasted taxpayer money could be spared -
with even modest attempt at presenting balanced facts from the start.

I don’t know why Trump had to come up in this thread, but now that I think about it, one of many differences between Trump and Hitler could be that Hitler had no sense of humor.

Re: OSS Psychological Profile of Adolph Hitler
you don’t notice the daily msm focus on relating the two? seeing that, and adding in forum history .. was it a leap?
or cutting to the chase? i expect the focus to intensify to extremes in 2024. possibly to hysteria.
i think i agree, i don’t recall any account of Hitler associated with humor.

Re: OSS Psychological Profile of Adolph Hitler
No I don't. I spend a lot more time reading/listening to history than I do current events these days.temporal1 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 10:24 pmyou don’t notice the daily msm focus on relating the two? seeing that, and adding in forum history .. was it a leap?

Re: OSS Psychological Profile of Adolph Hitler
I was fascinated by the discussion about Hitler, religion, and Christianity in this profile.
Anyone want to comment on that?
