don’t know much about Stalin other than he and my pops share the same ethnicity ( Georgian ) and therefore my last name sounds similar to Stalin’s real last name … of course we’re also both Jews.
Not sure if my pops really admired Stalin or just pretended to in order to torture my grandma who survived Holodomor in Ukraine. Every time grandma would come over pops would start his usual lecture about how Stalin was a great leader and of course in Soviet Union you couldn’t disagree with something like that so my grandparents were forced to listen to that drivel. Pops would get something like sexual arousal from watching people suffer and seeing their life getting shortened.
I very highly doubt Stalin was more evil than my pops. What is outrageous to me though that when i would accuse him everybody would take his side including Grandma and everybody else even though he has tortured them all ! Humans have some kind of a pathology where they always rush to defend evil from attack.
Of course the reason is that humans assume that evil is going to win and they want to be on the winning side … what they don’t realize is that by siding with evil even if they bet correctly on who is going to win - they will still be the next victim themselves. No sympathy for them at all.
I don’t really care what Hitler did or didn’t do. He’s dead. I do care that we aren’t allowed to talk about him unless we’re reading from a script written by Jews.
i don’t know if he was beaten by his father, but his parents were divorced and he was sent to orphanage.
i wasn’t beaten by my father. in fact i was probably the ONLY boy not beaten by his father in Soviet Union. the reason my father wouldn’t do it is 2 fold:
1 - he was too scared to blow his cover and let people see him for what he is.
2 - he was afraid that punishing me would actually be good for me in the long run.
i think it’s mostly epigenetic. meaning genetic but not inherited. epigenetics refers to the way DNA ends up being expressed through the process of development. in other words i think his parents sent my pops to the orphanage BECAUSE they realized he was a sadist. he didn’t become a sadist from being abused as my Grandma and others have tried to convince me. my whole life they kept telling me these stories about how i have to forgive my father because he had a rough childhood … then i went to a shrink that my mom and pops also were seeing and the shrink told me my pops was already that way BEFORE he was sent to the orphanage …
what Grandma and others were telling me was just COPE.
exactly. i had a friend in high school whose parents were divorced ( later his father was murdered in Russia ) and he was quite troubled, but not sadistic like my father. i ultimately got tired of his shit and cut him off, but i think he was just fucked up, not a sadist.
he was probably a devil in the first place and his father simply taught him that in this world only good is punished, never evil.
