4 months agoThat’s actually a wonderful point. 😅 I’m just sick if everyone being called a Nazi, but truly espousing, believing Nazi beliefs…is…mental illness. IIRC Hitler was on meth, lots of Nazis were on some form of meth. It resulted in incredible, and incredibly harmful, feats.
Yes, I found one of my favorite stories from WW2 about meth Nazis! 😂 They had a drug called Pervitin, which was mostly if not entirely meth, and one guy OD’ed but survived. Somehow. And he did some crazy shit.
There’s a lot more to flesh out, but I agree 100% with this basic principle. I’m looking back & idk other than the occasional spanking when I was very little, most physical discipline was administered by my father. Even if I crossed my mother.
It reinforced traditional gender roles, and frankly I think it subconsciously implies…a solidarity & mutual respect between the partners in a marriage. My father stood up for, and backed, my mother. They parented mostly gently, but also firmly, in lockstep. Were they perfect? Of course not. But generally speaking I think it worked pretty well.
