I think it’s time that we looked a bit more seriously at Modi’s foolery and idiocies. Many of the worst events in world history were not because of one man, rather caused by parade of sycophantic idiots and lunatics, who incoherently cheered for a narcissistic megalomaniac... 1

I’m more worried about the adulation that Modi is receiving; he has tapped into a primal human instinct- to fear the other. To think that you’re under constant threat from something that you don’t understand. 2

We have a lot to learn from the example of Hitler and the rise of the Nazi government. There are uncanny parallels and similarities between possibly the worst 2 narcissistic megalomaniacs of the past century. 3.

Hitler like Modi, was obsessed with the media and and often seemed to view himself through that media lens. He once described himself as "the greatest actor in Europe,"believed his life is the greatest novel in world history."
Ref: Otto Dietrich- The Hitler I knew. 4.

Hitler was deeply insecure about his own lack of knowledge, preferring to ignore information that contradicted his preconceptions, or to lash out at the expertise of others. He would perform mocking impressions of people he disliked. Remind us of anyone? 5/n
