And it includes like sadistic shit, like spanking your kids like long enough to break their will. Right. It's not just like, I'm not saying this is okay, but it's not just saying like, okay, you know, I am, you did a bad thing.

One of the points Adolf Hitler makes is that like the written word essentially newspapers and books by philosophy, none of that shit convinces large amounts of people of anything. The human voice is what can change people's minds and huge numbers and shift the destinies of nations.

I've read this book called Anarchism and Syndicalism in the Colonial and Post-Colonial World.

I learned all this from the book Anarchism and Syndicalism in the Colonial and Post-Colonial World, particularly the section written by Anthony Gorman on Egyptian history.
