Death = maladaptation. The relational dynamic ****** invoked demanded social concession with the aim of satiating his own rage against the social injustice he provoked against himself from the Jews. (dating all the way back to Vienna) The circumstances of ******'s rise are rarely discussed: they involved a running street battle between ******'s Stormtroopers and communists. Some of ******'s surrogates were highly unscrupulous, and they did their part to aggrivate the existing situation. ****** admittedly had nothing to do with those events, but he knew the nature of these men regardless and didn't care how the people would be corralled to his will, only that they were. I think it was the problem of his id aggrivated by the social situation to such an extent that his rage was uncontrollable, coupled with a natural tendency to genocide common to ENFJ radicals. At root, the Holocaust was euthenasia aimed at an ethnic group. ****** looked on ethnic groups within other ethnic groups as sabotaging the purity of the larger's cultural process. He saw either as having a definite state of mind, and if those states of mind were disaligned then cultural disharmony would develop. It seemed obvious to him to defend his own cultural mind state by destroying all the others. Key to his ideas of racism is that each race has a specific state of mind. The Austrians were in a state of social miscarriage during his youth, which he felt the brunt of. He naturally chose the German mindset of the times as the better option, given his understanding of the German language, and so was ensnared by Chamberlain. Everything afterward became a threat directly to his own mind, because it was progress which was changing the social landscape of Germany. Everything he tried to do was tied to keeping that state of mind in place and shared amongst as many people as possible; if they wouldn't share it, they were to be obliterated, and because in his view race influenced one's state of mind, he could "tell" whether or not someone would be persuaded by his views by virtue of their ethnicity.
