Kinda of fits King Obama's pattern. I think he enjoys destroying the greatest society in the world.
I hope those bastards are forever roasting like the turkey in my over.
Didn’t have many picnics in Communist prisons, either.
Seems like dictatorships always commit atrocities - and this continues all around the world.
If only our wonderful university researchers would study some current despotic regimes, tyrants, and death cults.
Meanwhile, come to an American prison, and get a free college edumacation ! We’ve just about gotten rid of the idea of serious punishment of hardened criminals.
Why shouldn’t they have taken pride in their work? What do you think they should have done, stood around bitching about how inhumane everything was?
There is a reason why they took pride in what they were doing.
First, look at the SS. The SS was created as a pseudo military organization to compete with the SA, the “brownshirts”, who were mostly political thugs and criminals, whose growing power threatened Hitler.
The SS was designed to have high credibility and discipline. This was done by recruiting educated men, many of whom had advanced college degrees. Once organized, this far more professional organization’s first assignment was to wipe out the leadership of the SA.
They did this with some relish, as they despised the loathsome SA criminal scum. But in turn, they presented an even worse threat, were they to remain in Germany, so they were remade into the Waffen SS, and tasked to fight on the front lines next to, but not as part of the army.
Of all things, the SS was under the Finance Ministry, whose duties also included the concentration camps. And so the SS was subdivided into the Waffen SS and the General SS.
Unlike the Waffen SS, the General SS was populated with the same kind of men who had been in the SA. They were intended from the start to commit heinous crimes.
So, and this is my point, take some street punk, put him into an organization with high credibility, give him a snazzy uniform, as if he was “somebody”, and he will gladly do *anything* you ask him to.
He will “take pride” in doing the most disgusting things.
As a parallel example, the Imperial Japanese Army did much the same thing. They took ordinary men, such as shoe salesmen and innkeepers, put them in uniform as officers, gave them swords and pumped them full of the Samurai honor code known as “Bushido”, and let them know that military aggression would be rewarded.
So they “took pride” in committing war crimes like there was no tomorrow.
'It flourishes because they actively identify with those who promote vicious acts as virtuous.
'It is this conviction that steels participants to do their dirty work and that makes them work energetically and creatively to ensure its success.
Moreover, this work is something for which they actively wish to be held accountable - so long as it secures the approbation of those in power.'
These few sentences explain the power and brutality of the Religion of Peace. These sentences explain conversion by the sword. These few sentences explain why fundamentalist of Islam willingly die in the acts of murder against unbelievers.
These people are acting in the name of their god as revealed to them by their religious leaders. Those on the Left that tell you that these are peaceful good people that are reacting to wrongs that we have committed against them are either lying to you or are self deluded.
The Islamic religion is a religion of conquest. Islam throughout history has been spread by conquest in a wave of murder, rape, torture and plunder.
These people expect to be rewarded by their god in the afterlife for the unbelievers that they either convert by torturing them or murder because they would not convert. As the article states they expect to be held accountable by their god for their actions on this earth.
Don’t expect it to change because we talk nice.
Scottish psychologists.? Are those as proficient as the ones from Bumfkt, Egypt?
I have been surprised that Americans submitted to the abuse they take at the airports and at the TSA workers (and some cops, too) for abusing people like they do.
They do it for the greater good of “safety” even though it is abuse of people they know are not really a danger to anyone and the abuse is accepted by people who know they not a danger. I feel safer when you abuse me or when I get to abuse you? It’s a dangerous mentality.
I think it will increase in the US as the American styled “anti-terror” KGB and globalism gets more and more power. When you see what happened in Germany and then what happened under communist regimes...it makes me shudder for our future.
Leftists — every #ing one of them.
