i always like the way charlie rose interrupts with something that adds no value

[@williamstanfield2829]

George Santayana defines fanaticism as "redoubling your effort when you have forgotten your aim."

[@louduva9849]

Doesn't make fanaticism bad, though, does it?

[@MartianManhunter1987]

I take that line to mean that fanaticism implodes endogenously because it is bad by definition and succumbs to it's own internal workings so all that's left is flogging a dead horse. Fanaticism founders precisely because it's axiomatically morally contemptible in theory and practice.

[@rogerthornhill1491]

@@louduva9849 I guess Lou it depends what your being fanatical about? I’ve got two uncles ones a fanatical gardener. The other is a fanatical drinker and smoker? I don’t wanna be judgemental but one of those fanaticism is worse?!

[@patrickwhite8144]

I totally disagree with Amis about Hitler and the Nazis. The roman empire, for example, used to feed people to lions and tigers.

no they didnt - that was just the gladiator arenas. similar to boxing today

[@erwinwoodedge4885]

Not 6 million gladiators

Jan Gross shows it was outright theft. Confiscation of others property

Charlie Rose, never failing to present as a large man with a small brain.

[@Velvet0Starship2013]

...Who always interrupts at exactly the moment when his guest is trying to make a point, often breaking the guest's concentration and losing the point entirely; uncanny ability.

[@tonyclifton265]

how did he have his own show?

[@timbeeson2505]

Where is the rest?

No one will every understand Hitler until they understand the greater wheel of Karma - and as such, no event or incident or person can be studied in isolation because the greater fabric is interwoven through time, space and dimensions we haven't labelled yet.

[@ricocottrell3017]

I agree, the thing about Karma is this: 'Forever' is a helluva long time.

[@garyfoster3854]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ktom5262]

Sod off.

[@stevekeres]

System narrative.

[@merriferrell2818]

No one understands Stalin
