Trump's 'big lie' was enabled by years of Americans being 'force fed' lies from religion: columnist
Quote:columnist David Rothkopf outlined how American culture, and in particular religion, primed Trump supporters from birth to embrace the former president's "big lie" that the election was stolen from them.
"One of the key reasons we buy into so many small lies is that we have been force fed so many big ones. I mean really big ones. I mean ones that make the current Big Lie look like one of those low-calorie snacks that is actually a high-calorie treat shrunk to a smaller size and repackaged," wrote Rothkopf.
"... According to a 2011 poll from the Associated Press, nearly eight out of 10 Americans believe in the existence of angels and a 2015 poll showed 72 percent of Americans believe in Heaven and 58 percent believe in the existence of Hell."
Large swathes of the population appear to be abandoning organized religion, but it remains a highly influential force in American politics. At this point, even faith leaders are having a hard time trying to properly educate their congregants against falsehoods like QAnon and anti-vaccine propaganda.
"All these lies are aided and abetted by the fact that simply believing in what you are told to believe is much easier than actually figuring out the truth," wrote Rothkopf. "What is more, if your family and friends believe in a lie, challenging that lie might make you an outcast, might alienate those with whom you have or wish to have a bond. With the advent of social media, where like-minded friends become 'editors' and select the news their followers see, lies spread among audiences inclined to believe and thereby endorse them. We live in an age of media 'echo-systems', ecosystems that reinforce disinformation spreading it from dubious sources like QAnon to Facebook to TV propaganda networks to you."

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Trump told John Kelly that Hitler 'did a lot of good things,' book claims
Quote: Former President Trump reportedly said in a conversation with then-chief of staff John Kelly during his 2018 trip to Europe to commemorate the end of World War I that Adolf Hitler “did a lot of good things.”
The conversation is included in an upcoming book from The Wall Street Journal’s Michael Bender, “Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost,” a copy of which was obtained by The Guardian.
The news outlet reported that while Trump denied making the remark to Kelly, several unidentified sources said Kelly “told the president that he was wrong, but Trump was undeterred.”

Friendly Reminder #1: if you’re still simping for Donald Trump after the disaster that was his presidency and don’t consider yourself racist, this is the guy you’re putting your hopes in.
Friendly Reminder #2: the vast majority, if not all, of the “good things” that people could conceivably connect to Adolf Hitler (assuming you’re not a Neo-Nazi) are either A) unsustainable and done at the expense of a shitton of people Hitler and the Nazi parties were Lebensunwertes Leben (like the economic growth that occurred under Hitler and only happened because the Nazis looted property from Jews &c. and refusing to pay war debts), B) just things the Nazis Jeremy Jammed their way into taking credit for ( the Autobahn myth comes to mind), or C) probably trivial enough that anyone else probably could have done the same (I have heard that they helped underwrite a proposal by Michael Raucheisen to record every German lieder of note, which, if completed, would have been the earliest projects of its kind, although, by this point, you could probably find better recordings of almost all of those songs. And about half of those would have a better recording sung by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.)
If you want to find a German leader to revere who rebuilt the nation out of nothing and brought the economy from “bartering and whatever scraps of foreign currency from the Occupying Forces you can find” to the economic powerhouse of Europe in the span of a few years, Konrad Adenauer did exactly that, and without the crimes against humanity that have rightly destroyed Hitler’s reputation (with the possible exception of tolerating the same sort of human rights abuses that every NATO member was tolerating at the time, anyway.)

Not to mention later using forced labor and plundering occupied nations. People have the wacko idea the Nazis were efficient and smart. When in reality they were anything but.

And, like I said, Adenauer did all the economic rebuilding Hitler did without any of the crimes against humanity.
