Extreme nationalism

   When I read about Adolf Hitler, all I hear is toughness, extreme nationalism, and patriotism. (You might argue that this word doesn’t fully describe him, but trust me, he was patriotic.) After he joined the army, World War I began, and he became one of the German soldiers who fought for their country. Many historians agree that he was one of Germany’s #best #soldiers(se argue he is not). He fought bravely, and the German leaders awarded him numerous medals, as did the military. He dedicated his life to his country during the war.
During one battle against Great Britain, he was injured and sent to the hospital. One day, a priest visited the injured soldiers and informed them that, sadly, Germany had lost the war and surrendered. Upon hearing this, all the wounded soldiers started crying, asking, "Germany, have you lost the people who fought for you? Didn’t you have anyone who cared about you?" But among them, Hitler reacted differently—he became furious, punching his bed while crying out loud. He told the soldiers, "
Crying is for babies and women. This judgment is upon us. But one person must take responsibility, and the higher power knows who it is. Defeat is dangerous and powerful."

    
      From that moment on, Hitler was determined to find a way to save Germany from its humiliation. He decided to educate himself in politics, but the challenge was that he had no money or power. He was only a 10’s Commander. After World War I, Germany was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles, accepting war guilt, paying reparations, losing land, and disarming. Most Germans accepted it, but Adolf did not. He began gathering soldiers and educating them.

       In the military, he was assigned to spy on the rising Workers' Party at that time. However, before long, he became the leader of this party. Because of Hitler, this party developed its own army—the Nazi soldiers. He renamed the Workers' Party to the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazi for short). Using his artistic skills, he designed the party’s logo, later known as the Swastika (S.S.). The Swastika’s center is a cross, which Hitler used because he understood the vulnerable emotions of the German people. At this point, he had essentially become a politician.

His growing influence gave him a strong position among the German people. He then attempted to overthrow Germany’s government using the Nazi Party’s soldiers, but he failed and was #imprisoned for #five #years. During his time in prison, he wrote a book called #Mein #Kampf, which translates to #My #Struggle. He prepared for everything and eventually rose to power in #Germany. His playbook was the very book he had written.
This is how Hitler rose to power. His intention was not to gain power, wealth, or personal gain, but rather to save Germany from its humiliation and make it the world's most powerful country. This desire exists in all patriotic people. His actions against the Jews—well, I could say they were both personal and political. I’m not saying what he did was right; all I’m saying is that #extreme #nationalism led him to this path. This path Cost humanity alot. We could mention #Holocaust and millions of people who died because of #world #war #two.

The destructiveness of his actions were brutal. But so does modern day powerful countries like #Great #Britain , #France and others. From the time of colonialism to this day their doing something similar what Hitler does especially to #Africa. Their action can't be #justifiable too.

               Later on we will see the consequences of extreme nationalism.

The Addis Ababa Massacre: Remembering Yekatit 12, 1937

On February #19, 1937 (Yekatit 12 in the Ethiopian calendar), Addis Ababa witnessed one of the most horrific massacres in its history. This tragedy, ordered by the Italian Viceroy #Rodolfo #Graziani, left thousands of Ethiopians dead and entire neighborhoods in ruins.

The Assassination Attempt
The massacre was triggered by an act of resistance. On that day, two young Ethiopian patriots, #Abraham #Deboch and #Moges #Asgedom, attempted to assassinate Graziani while he was in the Genete Leul Palace (now part of Addis Ababa University). They threw hand grenades at him, seriously wounding him but failing to kill him.

In response, the Italian occupation forces unleashed a wave of brutal retaliation against the people of Addis Ababa.

Three Days of Terror
For three days, #Italian troops and fascist militias went on a rampage of murder, arson, and destruction. Ethiopian civilians—men, women, and children—were slaughtered in the streets, homes were burned, and anyone suspected of opposing Italian rule was executed.
Historical estimates suggest that between #19,000 and #30,000 people were killed—nearly a quarter of the city's population at the time. The violence extended beyond the city, with monks and priests at #Debre #Libanos #Monastery later being executed under Graziani’s orders.

Aftermath and Legacy

Despite his war crimes, Graziani never faced justice. However, Ethiopia remembers. The massacre of Yekatit 12 remains one of the darkest chapters of the Fascist occupation, a reminder of the brutality suffered under colonial rule.
Today, Ethiopians commemorate the event with a memorial at Sidist Kilo, honoring those who perished. Their sacrifice is a testament to Ethiopia’s resilience and unbreakable spirit in the fight for freedom.
Let us #remember their courage. Let us honor their #sacrifice.

#Unbroken is one of my all-time favorite films. It powerfully portrays #courage, #resilience, and the #unwavering #spirit of a #true #soldier. The story of #Louis #Zamperini highlights the difference between #patriotism and #nationalism in a deeply moving way. Louie exemplifies true #patriotism and #true #Chrstianity—standing firm in his values, enduring immense hardship, and never losing his faith on GOD.In contrast, Mutsuhiro Watanabe, known as "#The #Bird," represents #nationalism driven by #cruelty and #power. This film is not just about survival; it's about the #strength of the human spirit and the #unbreakable will to persevere.
I strongly recommend #u to watch it.

[I #believe in your #sorrow!]

In #Dostoevsky’s #masterpiece, The Brothers Karamazov, after Liz’s mother tells the #monk about her sorrow and her loss of faith, she finally asks, “What #do you #think of me?” and he says, “It doesn’t matter what I think of you: #forget it, the important thing is that I #believe your #sorrow is real!”

Sometimes all we can say is, “I #believe your #pain is real: I believe your #suffering is real: I believe your sorrow is #deep!”

#Accept what I #believe more than I think!

The #Search for #Humanity’s True #Solution
Throughout #history, countless #philosophies, #ideologies, and #theories have attempted to solve humanity’s deepest struggles.

From #ancient #wisdom to modern #innovations, each has promised answers—yet none have fully resolved the challenges we face. #Wars #persist, #injustice remains, and #suffering #continues.
I’ve read extensively, exploring the ideas of #great #thinkers and #historical #movements, searching for a #solution that is not just compelling in theory but truly #transformative in practice.

Many concepts sound good on paper but #fail when tested against real-life #complexities. The more I search, the more I realize that humanity’s problems run deeper than #politics, #economics, or even #knowledge itself.

But in my journey, I’ve #discovered something #different—something that doesn’t just explain the world but actually changes lives. It’s not just another theory or philosophy; it’s a #truth that offers #real #transformation, #purpose, and #peace. While many answers attempt to fix the #symptoms, this one reaches the root of the problem.

The search for truth is #ongoing, but I now see the difference between ideas that promise #change and the one that actually #delivers it. And that changes #everything.

Extreme nationalism    When I read about Adolf Hitler, all I hear is toughness, extreme nationalism, and patriotism. (You might argue that this word doesn’t fully describe him, but trust me, he was patriotic.) After he joined the army, World War I began,…
World War II caused an estimated 70–85 million deaths, about 3% of the world’s population, with around 21–25 million soldiers killed and 50–55 million civilians lost, including 6 million Jews in the Holocaust. The Soviet Union suffered the most, with over 26 million casualties, while China lost 15–20 million, Germany 7–8 million, and Japanese around 3 million. Cities like Dresden, Stalingrad, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki were devastated, with atomic bombings alone killing over 200,000 people instantly. The war left Europe and Asia economically shattered, while the U.S. emerged as the dominant power, leading efforts like the Marshall Plan ($13 billion in aid) to rebuild Europe. Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and Fascist Italy were primarily responsible, with Hitler’s invasion of Poland in 1939 sparking the war, while Mussolini and Japan’s militaristic expansion fueled global conflict. By 1945, the Allies (USA, USSR, UK, China, and others) defeated the Axis, leading to economic restructuring, war crimes trials, and long-term geopolitical shifts.
This is the consequences of #extreme #nationalism. Hitler do #love his country but he show his love through one thing he ever know in his life. #Violence.

Later on this day socialism.
Currently am reading a book called
A "Communist Manifesto"
By karl Marx and Frederick Engel
Am getting the original ideas of communism and socialism. I'll share you this ideas later on but for now I wanted to ask you something. I mean why is Communist leaders pictured as #tyrants and the #evil one but there were alot of them who work against the colonialism of capitalist countries and savage capitalist.
To name few
#Fedel casero(Cuba)
#Che Guvera(Argentina/cuba)
#Thomas sankara(Burkina faso)
#Julius Nerere( Tanzania)
#Ho Chi Mini(Vitennam)
#Salvador Allende(Chillie)
.......
The list #goes on and #on and #on.
These people fight for their country even some of them died for their beliefs. People like Ernesto Che Guvera and Thomas Shankar's are my hero's or role models. They have no other intentions but to serve their people. So

why their names mentioned rarely unlike the tyrants?

Men that's one way we could say what we hear and see is controlled by capitalists.
