    Part Two: The Parenting Gurus of Nazi Germany | BEHIND THE BASTARDS

    There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.
    New episodes twice a week on iHeartRadio.

    Hearing somebody call children "tyrants" kinda strikes a different chord with me after reading that bit from Kristi Noem's book. What is it about people who hate kids working in child-care?

    • @FakeSchrodingersCat
      @FakeSchrodingersCat Месяц назад +4

      Most of them don't start out hating kids. Sure some of them do but most of them developed their hatred for children over time from having to look after them. Especially if the kids you are looking after are not related to you or each other.

      Given the amount of people who work in mental healthcare and say terrible shit about their patients, not to mention the amount of 'special needs' parents and teachers who casually say terrible shit about their kids/students... It sucks, but comes as no surprise (unfortunately).
      Preconceived cognitive biases persist against all kinds of evidence, proximity, and lived experience (especially when they're culturally reinforced).

    • @sholem_bond
      @sholem_bond Месяц назад +19

      ​@@FakeSchrodingersCat I think for some people it's that (and especially I'm sure it can be that for women and people raised as women; you're supposed to like children, so you kind of assume you do and end up in a childcare-focused career you don't really like; for the same reasons other women have kids despite not really liking kids or wanting to have kids that much).
      But I think a lot of it can also come from how badly-compensated and undervalued those careers and skills are. I think this ruins a lot of teachers, for example. It's hard to keep enjoying a career you depend on for money and thus feel pressured to keep doing, AND that you basically get punished by society for doing, AND that requires a lot of self-care and a strong support system that you often don't actually have/don't get the chance to perform.
      And tbh I also think some people go into childcare professions because they have strong opinions about the right way to do it and the way children Should Be (TM); and they're often wrong.

      And while ther should be set boundaries, never say a child you dont love them.
      Also communicate and bloody , yeah what parent would not have a trusting relationship that they can trust them if they mess up to not abuse them :(
      Also if its fake trying, ther could be "of course, can you explain what exactly hurts you in detail, till they back off maybe?! XD, ok just do it soft. i imagine if. I think trolling children there fair is, ok ethical trollinbg children can if its not hurting trust in safety to counter , ok manipulate ethical without violating trust?
      And igf its about heavy being aproviate honest , is good.
      And do be a good example and talk about it and answer and talk if you are understandibly hypocritical, but try to be a good rolemodel, rather than just telling. i guess.
      Like most is about communication, trust and earning respect by acting respectable and using force as rare last resort, ever.

    my grandmother offered the book to me mum. She was appalled by it and gave us love and affection, really dodged a bullet.
    My father was raised according to that book, he can't build lasting relationships. It's only when his mother- my grandmother- started to have dementia that she told him she does love him. It took 87 years for that.

    I took a naval engineering course from a sub officer. He related that one of the worst cruises they had was when an admiral ordered them to cruise underwater with no contact from an exercise to port two weeks away. It was terrible because they had a water casualty which meant no showers, on top of a substandard AC.
    So yeah they do just sometimes tell them to go underwater for a long time just cause.

    Regarding how growing up during a war intersects with Johanna's teachings, I feel like the situation probably made kids less inclined to rebel against it. Not entirely so, but to a degree that there's the described refusal to admit conflict with the parent. A kid who is essentially raised to be a supersoldier who grows up in a reasonably safe environment probably will notice discrepancies between the world their caregiver is raising them for and the world as they observe it. That leads to inconvenient things like "self reflection" and "thinking" and leads to the kid thinking, "Maybe my parents were wrong to do what they did".
    If you raise a supersoldier kid in a WWII environment though, it seems likelier they'd view their upbringing as justified. Even if they felt hurt or wronged, there's a rationalization of, "My parents were just doing what's best".
    Not a psychiatrist, just my two cents.

    I really think it makes sense that a lot of conservative women who are Not empathetic by nature have kids and grow resentful. To raise happy/healthy kids requires so much patience, emotional intelligence, and a capacity to care for something that is separate from yourself (which is inherently discouraged by the frightened individualistic alt right mindset). What’s sad is that they take out their unhappiness on the children instead of realizing that they should never have felt so much pressure to have kids in the first place. There’s an idea that “women” all have an innate disposition to motherhood, when that’s simply not true. Being born with a vagina doesn’t automatically qualify someone as a good mother. Lots of terrible moms would probably be at least marginally less shitty if they had known themselves well enough to never have kids.

    33:40 Given that Harer lived into the 80s, I wonder what her response to the findings of Harry Harlow's social isolation experiments involving infant Rhesus Monkeys was. Harlow found that isolating Rhesus Monkeys after they were born for several months led to them becoming deeply disturbed and destructive. Further, he found that infant Rhesus monkeys when presented with either wire simulacrum of their mother (which provided milk) and a cloth dummy (which didn't), the infant would always pick the fabric doll over the wire mesh one.

      He easy could have taken that, yeah maybe i am not the greatest and maybe i have to just go not to one off the most famous institutions to study art. ,
      not , oh no how could that elite institution deny me for not being , that brilliant. but fine. grr jews.
      Like anywhere you have to take criticism and artists become so trhrough feedback, practice and improving and a bit talent i guess, but most is looots of practice and like all in life , failing.

    People all over the world kiss each other platonically and non-sexually on the lips, and lots of kids grew up kissing various family members on the lips (in addition to cheeks, foreheads, or whatever).
    It's seen as weird and perverted nowadays (and I was born in the early 1990s, so when I say "nowadays" that's the relatively brief range of time I'm talking about), but it's not.
    (Like it's fine if you didn't grow up doing it or just aren't personally comfortable with it; it's a pretty subjective/individualized thing whether you're personally comfortable with it or not, like any other form of affectionate touch. But it's not some automatic red flag, or form of child abuse, all on its own.
    (Idk this is just some weird, rare but also widespread, proto-QAnon talking point that I'm tired of hearing, especially from otherwise sane people. It's like some kind of weird puritan Tumblr discourse that escaped to the rest of the internet and got adopted.)

    sorry but some of the historic context at the beginning is VERY bad. Prussia is mostly towards the east, most of old prussia is poland today.
    the Junkers did not hste Hitler, they were amongst his biggest supporters. sure, a few ofthem disliked him for class reasons but it was literally a Junker who made Hitler chancelor.
    prussia is where the NSDAP got the most votes, with the exception of small parts of bavaria.
    one of the reasons Hitler was able to do what he did is exactly that the old Wehrmacht officers (most of them Junkers) supported him.
    the idea that prussian militarism was opposed to nazis is literally a post war far right german propaganda lie. it's plain and simply not true at all. it's literally the part of the country he had the least resistance in.
    I'm sure you didn't have bad intent. but you completely fell for a propaganda lie.
    also: there is NO damn way a Junker couldn't afford eggs for his children. Junkers were essentially lower nobility. they owned massive stretches of land and had farmers working them for them. they were generally very wealthy.
