Blodo, just disregard LK, that's just the way he is. You can show him facts, and he makes them look false. Forget him.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>


But I didn't say a word about Blodo. He got practically the same as I did, so it'd be stupid if I did. I think if you look closely, you'll find that he actually posted AFTER I did.

The Resistance
Achtung! You are 23% brainwashworthy, 27% antitolerant, and 47% blindly patriotic
Welcome to the Resistance (Der Widerstand)! You believe in freedom, justice, equality, and your country, and you can't be converted to the the dark side.

Breakdown: your Blind Patriotism levels are borderline unhealthy, but you show such a love of people from everywhere and a natural resistance to brainwashing, you would probably focus your energy to fight the Fuehrer with furor, so to speak.

Conclusion: born and raised in Germany in the early 1930's, you would have taken up ARMS against the oppressors. Or even your friends' oppressors. Congratulations!

Less than 5% of all test takers earn a spot in the Resistance!

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 12% on brainwashworthy
You scored higher than 30% on antitolerant
You scored higher than 58% on patriotic

I wonder where the intolerant came from? Oh well... :cool:

The antitolerance is directly related to the blind patriotism level i think. The higher your patriotism is, the more likely you are to despise a certain group for their beliefs/place of birth/whatever.

ARGUMENT FROM CREATION, a.k.a. ARGUMENT FROM PERSONAL INCREDULITY (I)
(1) If evolution is false, then creationism is true, and therefore God exists.
(2) Evolution can't be true, since I lack the mental capacity to understand it; moreover, to accept its truth would cause me to be uncomfortable.
(3) Therefore, God exists.

Did it at college. Here are my results:

The Expatriate
Achtung! You are 38% brainwashworthy, 27% antitolerant, and 4% blindly patriotic 
Congratulations! You are not susceptible to brainwashing, your values and cares extend beyond the borders of your own country, and your Blind Patriotism does not reach unhealthy levels. If you had been German in the 30s, you would've left the country.

One bad scenario -- as I hypothetically project you back in time -- is that you just wouldn't have cared one way or the other about Nazism. Maybe politics don't interest you enough. But the fact that you took this test means they probably do. I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt.

Did you know that many of the smartest Germans departed prior to the beginning of World War II, because they knew some evil shit was brewing? Brain Drain. Many of them were scientists. It is very possible you could have been one of them.

Conclusion: born and raised in Germany in the early 1930's, you would not have been a Nazi.


4%. W00t. :dry:

Hindsight definitely influences many people's answers to the questions. If this had been 1923, and there was no history of national socialism in the world, there is no doubt in my mind that nearly every one of you would be saying Heil Hitler.

MSpencer is right. Genocide was perfectly acceptable in the 1920's.

No, if you could read you'd realize that I simply said that the Nazis had a pretty good facade going on until the Nuremburg Trials. Fascism was quite common in the 1930s, looking at Italy and later Spain. It was quite feasible to live a good life under a fascist nation as so many Nazis had trumpeted about. National socialism worked for a time because it convinced the people that they were fighting for the survival of their superiority over all others, that's something that people will readily defend. What I'm simply saying is that none of you, absolutely NONE of you, could ever say, after knowing what you know, that you would never have been a Nazi. In the 1920s and 30s, the world was quite different, and living in the Weimar Republic for years, you'd be quite open to change after experiencing years of hardship, poverty, and poor work conditions under a government that exercised emergency powers when it couldn't seem to make a decision. For the people of the 1930s, Adolf Hitler truly looked to be the savior of Germany, even though it was simply some administrative masterminds under his grip that got all of the work done. You really have no right to say you could see genocide coming from miles away, something that most people had no idea about up until 1945. This test presupposes you're going in without any knowledge of national socialism. Nobody wants to be a Nazi, but nearly everyone would have been, so congratulations, you all lied.

Oh f*** off, MSpencer. Don't defend your blind patriotism by telling US we all lied on the test. If fascism was so much the done thing in the 1930's, why did people go from all over Europe to fight in the Spanish civil war? If anything it was the people, not the governments, who were prepared to stand up against fascism.

Don't flame please, thanks -MS

Half of them fought for the nationalists... and they won the war too. I'm not defending fascism, I'm just saying that fascism was quite popular at the time. Many people even in countries like Britain (Arthur Mosely) believed in fascism. Fascism is not good, we know that today, but we only know that after the trial by fire of fascism during the 1930s and 40s.

Course, none of us can say we wouldn't have joined the nazi movement, so much of what we believe in is formed by life experience. I can say that thinking the way I do know, but with no knowledge of fascism, I would have supported the resistance. However, with different parents, I might not have formed an almost unhealthy problem with authority. Growing up in a different neighborhood I might not have always felt that I had to protect everyone.

A: His name was Oswald Mosley.
B: He was regularly attacked on his marches.
C: Half of SPANISH people fought for the nationalists. Because, well, they were Spanish nationalists. Poeple from all over Europe went to fight for the republic to stop the fascists from taking control, against their governments advice. The governments didn't force the people to fight fascism, if anything it was the other way round.
D: You keep saying fascism like it's tied to one set of beliefs, which it isn't. Fascism doesn't really have any ideology.

I got some strange results...


ADOLF HITLER
Achtung! You are 61% brainwashworthy, 50% antitolerant, and 61% blindly patriotic 
You probably you lack the charisma and intelligence to be Hitler himself, but then again, who knows? You've got a few of the necessary traits, at least. You are crazy, nationalistic, and more proud of your background than you should be.

Right now I am breathing a big sigh of relief that you don't live in Germany in the 1930's, although I guess things couldn't have gone any worse than they did, even with your help. Maybe all this energy that you feel right now could be directed to an end less evil? Are you a Police Officer? Not in my town, I hope.

Sadly, you exceeded expectations on all 3 indicators.

I retook the test and tried to get the closest I could to a nazi mentality. I got this.

So I guess answered "correctly" you can be Hitler. I still think the test is bullocks.
