Ever since I was young I had and unusual obsession Adolf Hitler. Not because I loved his level of Cray Cray (bat shit craziness), it was how he went from a school drop out to dictator then to country's leader. When I first read about him during one of my many hide and go beat up games with the school bullies, something just clicked. It was like I could have pictured pieces of the man's characteristics in some of the children. By just reading about him, classifying the students became easy, you could just tell their intentions from one observation, one meeting. Adolf Hitler didn't have much going for him but what he did have made him something close to a God back in his day. He had the gift of Dictation.
"I do not see why man should not be just as cruel as nature".
That as one of his quotes that opened my eyes back in the day as to what I was doing wrong. Whether I ran or stood up and fight, the day was always going to end the same. Myself ending up in a fight where my school uniform would have gotten dirty or ripped and my mother not asking questions but just yelling. She did like to yell a lot. Humans are habitual creatures, we don't change no matter the circumstances, so we adapt.
I decided to take another route to the situation, and I got inspired by another quote of his."All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those who it seeks to reach". I took that quote and just ran with it. I adapted. Slowly I took things people thought stupid and corny and made them into something sought after. I made whatever I liked into something they would enjoy. It was no easy task explaining the difference between anime and cartoon, dimensional art with crayon scribbling, different genres of music with just Soca and bopping to any beat to just whining and gyrating to EVERYTHING!
After a while they became bearable, it felt like they were scared little rabbits hiding in a hole and I was the hunter coaxing them out with a carrot and a shot gun. And OH boy was I gonna use that shot gun.
"By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise." Would you believe I became a sought of advocate for the school after a while? Like I said, Dictation is a gift. They started to treat me differently because I spoke properly and could explain myself better in certain situations. Everything changed for me because I embraced my gift of Dictation and started to look at the world through the eyes of the one and only Adolf Hitler.
"Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the war of the future". I took down so many mean girls with just a few words with a raised eyebrow, stopped so many teachers with their railroading of their beliefs onto others and weeded out the cockroaches from around me who called themselves my friends.
"I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few". I can't list the amount of times keeping my emotions in check has gotten me out of some life threatening situations. Sealing your lips and nodding your head goes a long way sometimes, but there are time where talking up can be freeing for the soul and sometimes your bank account. You know what I am talking about, person who has people guilting them into giving them money.
"Mankind has grown strong in eternal struggles and it will only perish through eternal peace." Now even though he meant the treaties Germany had with other countries were useless and stupid to him and invasion was his way in uniting the world so he can rule, to me when I sit back and watch my country I think we need a little bit of his thinking. Citizens of Trinidad and Tobago need a little bit of fear and strong arming. We complain about any and everything thus losing the bigger picture. The police force is a system created to keep everyone safe, but we use it as a place for marital complaints and collecting money money money. Politicians always "cracking down" on something by hiring somebody for some made up position which entails money money money. Citizen don't like a rule written by the Prime Minister they picket and strike and then turn it into money money money. I know so much about these politicians lives it amazing. I didn't vote for you so you can tell me what the opposition is doing wrong. I didn't vote for you so you can fix petty problems like roads and international relations. Use all that money you all are wasting on screening people who apply to educate our future generations, properly shaking down areas where there are known illegal activity, keeping a watchful eye on the hospitals and the people they employ to take care of patients, building places where lost individuals can find their way and be of use to society, instead of sending people to jail put them to work like recycling the landfills and cleaning up the streets. Appropriate time for men on horses with guns don't you think? I can go on and on about the things that can be done in shifting this country in the right direction if we all stop thinking on defense and start to attack. The might have been crazy but look what he had done with a few well placed words and a lot of FEAR!
