Trump Supporters and The Three Types of Readers by Adolf Hitler

---------------------------------------------------------
Which one of the following groups of readers do you think
defines present-day right-wingers best? Hint: who coined the
term "fake news" and is known for never reading his intel
reports, or much of anything else for that matter?
[quote]Readers can be divided into three groups: Those who
believe everything they read; those who no longer believe
anything they read; and those minds which critically examine
what they read and then form their own judgments about the
accuracy of the information.
The first group who believes everything they read is the largest
and strongest because they are composed of the broad masses of
the population.
These great masses of the people represent the most
simple-minded part of the nation. It cannot, however, be divided
by occupation, only by general degrees of intelligence. This
group includes those who have not been born with the gift of, or
trained for independent thinking and who believe anything which
is printed in black and white. This is partly because of
inability and partly through incompetence. This group also
encompasses a class of lazy people who could think for
themselves, but who gratefully accept anything someone else has
already put any thinking-effort into on the humble assumption
that he worked hard for his opinion so it must be right. All
these groups represent the great mass of the people and the
influence of the press on them will be enormous. Since they are
unable or unwilling to weigh what is offered to them and
evaluate it for themselves, their approach to every daily
problem is totally determined by how they are influenced by
others. This may be an advantage if their understanding is fed
by serious and truth-loving persons, but it will be disastrous
if they are led by scoundrels and liars.
In number, the second group who does not believe anything they
read is considerably smaller. It is partially made up of those
who once belonged to the first group of total-believers. Then,
after continued disappointments, they have switched to the
opposite extreme and now believe nothing in print. They hate all
newspapers and either do not read them at all, or fly into a
rage over the contents which they believe to be nothing but lies
and deceptions. These people are very hard to deal with because
they will always be suspicious, even of the truth. They are
useless when it comes to accomplishing any positive work.
The third group who reads and evaluates for themselves is by far
the smallest. It consists of those really fine minds, which have
been educated and through training or maybe are naturally
capable of independent thinking. They try to form their own
judgments on everything and they subject everything they read to
a repeated, thorough scrutiny and further develop the
implications and meaning for themselves. They never look at a
newspaper without mentally taking part in the writing and then
Mr. Writer’s task is no easy one. Journalists have a reserved,
perhaps limited appreciation for such readers.
To the members of this third group, the nonsense which a
newspaper may choose to scribble is not dangerous or even
significant. They have usually become accustomed in the course
of a lifetime to regard every journalist as a rogue who happens
to sometimes tell the truth. Unfortunately, the importance of
these splendid figures is only in their intelligence and not in
their number. There are too few of them to have a significant
impact. It is unfortunate that during this age wisdom means
nothing and majority means everything! Today, when the voting
ballots of the masses are final, the deciding factor is the
highest number——that is the largest group and this is the first
group I discussed. This is the crowd of the simple-minded or
most gullible citizens. — Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, pg.

[quote]In either case, what is read shouldn’t simply be stored
in the memory like a list of facts and figures. The facts, like
bits of a mosaic tile, should come together as a general image
of the world, helping to shape this world image in the reader’s
head. Otherwise, there will be a confusion of information
learned, and the worthless mix of facts gives the unhappy
possessor an undeserved high opinion of himself. He seriously
believes he is “cultured and learned” while thinking he has some
understanding of life and is knowledgeable simply because he has
a stack of books by his bed. Actually, every piece of new
information takes him further away from the real world, until
often he ends up either in a psychiatric hospital or as a
“politician” in government.
No man with this kind of mind can ever retrieve from his jumbled
“knowledge” what is appropriate when he needs it. His intellect
is not filled with his own life experiences, but is filled with
what he has read in books and in whatever order the content
happened to land in his head. If Fate reminded him to correctly
use what he has learned in his daily life, it would also have to
cite volume and page or the poor guy could never find what he
needed. But since Fate does not do this, these “knowledgeable”
men are embarrassed when it really counts. They search their
minds frantically for appropriate comparisons and usually end up
with the wrong idea. If this were not the case, then it would be
impossible to understand the political achievements of our
learned government heroes in high places unless we decided they
are mischievous and not mentally disturbed.
A person who has mastered the art of proper and true reading can
read any book, magazine, or pamphlet and immediately spot
everything he believes he needs to remember, either because it
fits his purpose or because it is generally worth knowing. What
he has learned then takes its proper place in his imagination
concerning the matter at hand. It can then either correct or
complete that image to increase its correctness or clarity in
his mind. If life suddenly presents some question that requires
examination or a solution, the memory stored through this
reading method will instantly recall the already imagined
picture as a standard and will bring out individual bits of
information on the subject which have been retained through
decades, and that will be the basis for the intelligence used to
clarify or answer the question. Only then is there sense and
purpose in reading. — Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, pg. 27

Trump Won’t Read Daily Intel Brief, But Kushner (Jew) Does

U.S. right-wingers clearly have no problem with a Zionist Jew
reading the intel reports written for the president's eyes only,
should we be surprised though?

^ This is how dumb and ignorant the average Trump supporter is!

How Do You Govern When Half The Country Is Trapped In A
Disinformation Bubble?
[quote]The right has spent decades telling people not to believe
anyone but them. And now half the country simply can't accept
the reality that Trump lost. “The question of whether anyone can
run a democracy under these conditions is really an open one,”
says Chris Hayes. [/quote]

Way more than half the country and it's not just rightists that
are trapped in a disinformation bubble, the false-left has been
trapped in one at the least since the French Revolution....

Twitter and Facebook have made people absolute morons! There's
so much half-truths and misinformation floating around, people
can't tell the difference between the facts and French Fries.

Can You Trust the Media? | Manufacturing Consent Explained
[quote]The term "fake news" is thrown around without much
thought, but with more and more people losing faith in the
media, honesty in news broadcasting is something we need to
consider. In this episode, we'll take a look at whose interests
the corporate media serves, and evaluate whether we should trust
mainstream news.[/quote]

A little bit of a contradiction here on this thread, but a good
one to keep in consideration, especially since Schopenhauer was
Hitler's favorite philosopher. Interestingly for myself, I
arrived at many of the same conclusions in regards to reading as
Schopenhauer and I arrived at them intuitively in my childhood.
SCHOPENHAUER: The Art of Not Reading (6 Rules for Reading)
[quote]Arthur Schopenhauer's famous essay "On Books and Reading"
is actually more about NOT reading. Schopenhauer offers us six
rules for reading books. Here is some reading advice from one of
the greatest thinkers in history and philosophy...
Enjoy.[/quote]
