"The psyche of the broad masses is accessible only to what is strong and uncompromising. Like a woman whose inner sensibilities are not so much under the sway of abstract reasoning but are always subject to the influence of a vague emotional longing for the strength that completes her being, and who would rather bow to the strong man than dominate the weakling--in like manner the masses of the people prefer the ruler to the suppliant and are filled with a stronger sense of mental security..."
"...by a teaching that brooks no rival than by a teaching which offers them a liberal choice.

@DoubleD - Is that mein kamph? 🤔
@YoMomz Yes, from volume 1. I've been reading it to see what all the fuss is about.
@DoubleD - Early in my red-pilling, someone posted a passage without attribution on a normie site (Yahoo or some such)... After I agreed with the passage, someone pointed out the origin as some kind of "gotcha"...
It didn't change my mind on whatever the issue was... but it did cause me to rethink my view of Hitler. 😂 (and normies).
@YoMomz Something similar happened to me with Nietzche back when I was blue-pilled.
I don't like to make gotcha-posts. It's better to just post the content and let people come to their own conclusions regardless of who is the original the author. That's why I don't say who I'm quoting unless directly asked. It avoids poisoning the well accidentally.
