Freud would no doubt have been fascinated by Hitler.
That he was psychopathic appears in his early life, that he had an elevated sense of self-importance was underlined by his behaviour in prison--he wrote a book excusing himself and placing blame elsewhere, a common tactic of those who feel entitled (to think and do as they please): minimise the consequence of ones actions, and maximise the fault of others. It sounds like what politicians do a lot.
His art even from an early age is sterile and lifeless--the man did not see the world like other artists. He came to control the kinds of imagery that German artists were allowed to create, all like his, all like echoes from an empty mind, one devoid of what most would recognise as imagination. Hitler had serious emotional problems--he didn't have normal emotional responses and his artistic expressions echo this, a "pretty" scene to him was like any other and evinced the same emotional response.
Even when the war was being lost, he continued to rage against others failures and minimise his own. He possibly saw suicide as a last kind of denial of his own failure. His emotional being was seriously out of synch with his logical one.
Once again you miss the point...
1) If anyone but me followed your posts till now you would have confused that person
2) First you say (I cite yourself) "Who cares what Freud said?"...
3) Then you say that Freud would have been fascinated by Hitler (I'm not so sure that Freud meant that when he said "Thank the Fürer" for his late life productivity)
4) Which adds to the fact that Freud always chose the "bright" illusion. (Cf : The future of an Illusion, where he explains the love he has for good people and cite his own beloved son)
5) Freud was also fascinated with creative spirits and strong minded individuals (the one who can counter Nazism with science and logic, for example, and helped to preserve the good in society)
6) If you want any good presentation of the people he really cared about and analyzed, please read "
Prophets without Honour: Background to Freud, Kafka, Einstein and Their World" from Frederic Grünfeld.
7) But... as scientists, we are all sure that "your Hitler" interested him most in order to understand what's going so wrong with the kind of people that killed most of his family
and burnt his books.
Finally, I will avoid what seems to be
your only goal of posting, that is, make people (
or only you) think that you are right on something, whatever it is...
I personally do not have this kind of "objectives" or "tactics" on these forums or in life in general. Then I would conclude by a quote that I especially love from Freud (obv.) which is :
“By withdrawing their expectations from the other world and concentrating all their liberated energies into their life on earth, they will probably succeed in achieving a state of things in which life will become tolerable for everyone and civilization no longer oppressive to anyone. Then, with one of our fellow unbelievers, they will be able to say without regret, ‘we leave heaven to the angels and the sparrows’”
No go convince yourself and maybe others of
your Hitlerian theories for which I have NO interest...
My 2 cents...
