Downfall Days
30/04/2020 10:00 pmI have been trolling Agolf Twittler so often with this snippet. Now it is finally time to post it here
Aside from the squillions of memes it spawned, it still remains an amazing and terrifying glimpse into the mind of a nihilistic malignant narcissist. Yesss. Of course it is the actor Bruno Gans and not Hitler himself but he does such a damned good job of channeling him that it is so easy to forget
Also scary that Racket Man had his own meetings with generals where he called them pussies, losers and cowards. Only T Rex stood up for the military. That was the infamous meeting where it leaked that he called trump a fucking moron
“We are owed money you haven’t been collecting!” Trump told them. “You would totally go bankrupt if you had to run your own business.”
“You’re all losers,” Trump said. “You don’t know how to win anymore.”
“I wouldn’t go to war with you people,” Trump told the assembled brass.
Addressing the room, the commander in chief barked, “You’re a bunch of dopes and babies.”
trump has been able to bully, bullshit, bluster, blackmail and bribe his way through all sorts of problems most of which were of his own making. But you can't use that limited bag of tricks on a virus and I suspect this fact is finally dawning on the donald. Slowly but surely
Once he finally realizes the WINNING is over, then all hell breaks loose just like his role model
Maybe trump's Downfall bunker scene is coming sooner than any of us expected
I only hope that they lock up the NUKES and let him get on with it.
It also reminds me that I recently picked up a copy of a certain book. It was an English translation of Mein Kampf printed in October 1938 long before he had become an official enemy. The inside page listing the numerous reprints was positively scary. It had obviously been selling like hot cakes. There was also rather a rave review in the introduction from some long forgotten big wig of British politics or literature
The best and most perceptive book I have ever read about Hitler was actually Sebastian Haffner's "Anmerkungen zur Hitler" I am not sure if it has ever been translated into English. Haffner described him as a vulture with delusions of being an eagle. A man with a talent to spot the weaknesses in people, organizations and whole nations and to prey on them and exploit them ruthlessly. Thus by using such leverage, he could gain far more power and more quickly than following the more conventional path of just working hard and moving up the ranks
I wonder if "Mein Kampf" is like the muggle equivalent of Tom Riddle's diary except that it is not blank and has a very scary stern looking signed photo of Herr Hitler in his usual brown. The whole book is brown and beige and rather drab. I remember years ago trying to read a few pages when still in high school. I picked it up off the shelf opened it randomly a few times, found it so annoying and whiny that I put it right back again.
Now I wonder if 75 years from now, if civilization still exists as we know it, what will people think when they pick up a copy of "The Art of the Deal" or a printed and bound copy of the trump tweet archive. I simply cannot imagine what form of digital technology will even be around 75 years from now when so much has changed in just the last ten years
And how did it all end? Bleached brains blown out in the basement of a bunker or a stroke from one too many buckets of greasy fried chicken or maybe old, broke and alone in a cell in Alcatraz.
