| Trump Supporters and The Three Types of Readers by Adolf Hitler | |

| Which one of the following groups of readers do you think | |
| defines present-day right-wingers best? Hint: who coined the | |
| term "fake news" and is known for never reading his intel | |
| reports, or much of anything else for that matter? | |
| [quote]Readers can be divided into three groups: Those who | |
| believe everything they read; those who no longer believe | |
| anything they read; and those minds which critically examine | |
| what they read and then form their own judgments about the | |
| accuracy of the information. | |
| The first group who believes everything they read is the largest | |
| and strongest because they are composed of the broad masses of | |
| the population. | |
| These great masses of the people represent the most | |
| simple-minded part of the nation. It cannot, however, be divided | |
| by occupation, only by general degrees of intelligence. This | |
| group includes those who have not been born with the gift of, or | |
| trained for independent thinking and who believe anything which | |
| is printed in black and white. This is partly because of | |
| inability and partly through incompetence. This group also | |
| encompasses a class of lazy people who could think for | |
| themselves, but who gratefully accept anything someone else has | |
| already put any thinking-effort into on the humble assumption | |
| that he worked hard for his opinion so it must be right. All | |
| these groups represent the great mass of the people and the | |
| influence of the press on them will be enormous. Since they are | |
| unable or unwilling to weigh what is offered to them and | |
| evaluate it for themselves, their approach to every daily | |
| problem is totally determined by how they are influenced by | |
| others. This may be an advantage if their understanding is fed | |
| by serious and truth-loving persons, but it will be disastrous | |
| if they are led by scoundrels and liars. | |
| In number, the second group who does not believe anything they | |
| read is considerably smaller. It is partially made up of those | |
| who once belonged to the first group of total-believers. Then, | |
| after continued disappointments, they have switched to the | |
| opposite extreme and now believe nothing in print. They hate all | |
| newspapers and either do not read them at all, or fly into a | |
| rage over the contents which they believe to be nothing but lies | |
| and deceptions. These people are very hard to deal with because | |
| they will always be suspicious, even of the truth. They are | |
| useless when it comes to accomplishing any positive work. | |
| The third group who reads and evaluates for themselves is by far | |
| the smallest. It consists of those really fine minds, which have | |
| been educated and through training or maybe are naturally | |
| capable of independent thinking. They try to form their own | |
| judgments on everything and they subject everything they read to | |
| a repeated, thorough scrutiny and further develop the | |
| implications and meaning for themselves. They never look at a | |
| newspaper without mentally taking part in the writing and then | |
| Mr. Writer�s task is no easy one. Journalists have a reserved, | |
| perhaps limited appreciation for such readers. | |
| To the members of this third group, the nonsense which a | |
| newspaper may choose to scribble is not dangerous or even | |
| significant. They have usually become accustomed in the course | |
| of a lifetime to regard every journalist as a rogue who happens | |
| to sometimes tell the truth. Unfortunately, the importance of | |
| these splendid figures is only in their intelligence and not in | |
| their number. There are too few of them to have a significant | |
| impact. It is unfortunate that during this age wisdom means | |
| nothing and majority means everything! Today, when the voting | |
| ballots of the masses are final, the deciding factor is the | |
| highest number��that is the largest group and this is the first | |
| group I discussed. This is the crowd of the simple-minded or | |
| most gullible citizens. � Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, pg. | |
| 156[/quote] | |
| ���� | |
| [quote]In either case, what is read shouldn�t simply be stored | |
| in the memory like a list of facts and figures. The facts, like | |
| bits of a mosaic tile, should come together as a general image | |
| of the world, helping to shape this world image in the reader�s | |
| head. Otherwise, there will be a confusion of information | |
| learned, and the worthless mix of facts gives the unhappy | |
| possessor an undeserved high opinion of himself. He seriously | |
| believes he is �cultured and learned� while thinking he has some | |
| understanding of life and is knowledgeable simply because he has | |
| a stack of books by his bed. Actually, every piece of new | |
| information takes him further away from the real world, until | |
| often he ends up either in a psychiatric hospital or as a | |
| �politician� in government. | |
| No man with this kind of mind can ever retrieve from his jumbled | |
| �knowledge� what is appropriate when he needs it. His intellect | |
| is not filled with his own life experiences, but is filled with | |
| what he has read in books and in whatever order the content | |
| happened to land in his head. If Fate reminded him to correctly | |
| use what he has learned in his daily life, it would also have to | |
| cite volume and page or the poor guy could never find what he | |
| needed. But since Fate does not do this, these �knowledgeable� | |
| men are embarrassed when it really counts. They search their | |
| minds frantically for appropriate comparisons and usually end up | |
| with the wrong idea. If this were not the case, then it would be | |
| impossible to understand the political achievements of our | |
| learned government heroes in high places unless we decided they | |
| are mischievous and not mentally disturbed. | |
| A person who has mastered the art of proper and true reading can | |
| read any book, magazine, or pamphlet and immediately spot | |
| everything he believes he needs to remember, either because it | |
| fits his purpose or because it is generally worth knowing. What | |
| he has learned then takes its proper place in his imagination | |
| concerning the matter at hand. It can then either correct or | |
| complete that image to increase its correctness or clarity in | |
| his mind. If life suddenly presents some question that requires | |
| examination or a solution, the memory stored through this | |
| reading method will instantly recall the already imagined | |
| picture as a standard and will bring out individual bits of | |
| information on the subject which have been retained through | |
| decades, and that will be the basis for the intelligence used to | |
| clarify or answer the question. Only then is there sense and | |
| purpose in reading. � Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, pg. 27 | |

| How Do You Govern When Half The Country Is Trapped In A | |

| [quote]The right has spent decades telling people not to believe | |
| anyone but them. And now half the country simply can't accept | |
| the reality that Trump lost. �The question of whether anyone can | |
| run a democracy under these conditions is really an open one,� | |

| Way more than half the country and it's not just rightists that | |
| are trapped in a disinformation bubble, the false-left has been | |
| trapped in one at the least since the French Revolution.... | |

| A little bit of a contradiction here on this thread, but a good | |
| one to keep in consideration, especially since Schopenhauer was | |
| Hitler's favorite philosopher. Interestingly for myself, I | |
| arrived at many of the same conclusions in regards to reading as | |
| Schopenhauer and I arrived at them intuitively in my childhood. | |
| SCHOPENHAUER: The Art of Not Reading (6 Rules for Reading) | |
| [quote]Arthur Schopenhauer's famous essay "On Books and Reading" | |
| is actually more about NOT reading. Schopenhauer offers us six | |
| rules for reading books. Here is some reading advice from one of | |
| the greatest thinkers in history and philosophy... | |
| Enjoy.[/quote] | |
