This is how planning a world war goes thanks to the military industrial complex. Before and after The psychopathology is described by showing actions
This is how planning a world war goes thanks to the military industrial complex. Before and after The psychopathology is described by showing actions during the preparation for the war and how the perpetrators acted afterward. The whole psychological picture unfolds, showing the ones who burn in their lunacy, the ones dominated and manipulated to do what they want, and the average peoples´ reaction to the madness in Austria. Why the Austrian focus? Much of the novel is about the preparation of the Anschluss of Austria to the German Reich and how the nazis forced the Austrian government to do what they wanted. Vuillard could have created a much broader and more compelling picture with more different viewpoints, especially by switching between before, during, and after the war at the Nurenberg trials. Banality of evil As if they were normal people, the mass murderers do smalltalk, have a good time, practice intellectual drivel about culture or just share some gossip, all while playing psychological warfare alpha male dominance games with one another to get the escalation started as soon and bloody as possible. Some are having a great time and believe in what they do, the cynical rich ones want profit for their angel investments, and many are just opportunistic sheep that are afraid not to follow orders and dogmas. The influence of industry The maybe most forgotten role is the one of the big German companies that gave money to the nazis and thereby helped them rise to power. Without big money's interest in getting the laws they want by whoever is willing to be their sockpuppet, this won´t have been possible. That´s a point with far too less focus on in general history, again showing the importance of creating a big history picture of whose money caused which world events at any time from ancient Egypt to current global politics and war. Then one would start asking more questions about what happened to all that bling bling generated by the German war machine and where it is and works today. A wiki walk can be as refreshing to the mind as a walk through nature in this completely overrated real life outside books: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89r... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ord...
