Schwarzenegger
People and Californians in particular ought to read the Schwarzenegger article in the L.A. Times, "Women Say Schwarzenegger Groped, Humiliated Them" (Tuesday, Oct. 2). I'd like to think if they did he would lose. One woman working on the Terminator 2 Crew claims Schwarzenegger reached out to her, pulled he onto his lap and whispered, "Have you ever had a man slide his tongue in your [anus]?" Schwarzenegger actually reminds me of his compatriot Mr. Hitler (yes, Hitler was from Austria, too). They both were too stupid to realize that the appeal of forcible sodomy is not its forcible quality or violence but the sodomy part of it. Schwarzenegger was too stupid to realize that forcible scary behavior doesn't appeal to women but rather that the sodomy itself is responsible for most of the (addictive, evil) appeal and terror. Similarly, Hitler was too stupid to realize that violence by itself wouldn't create the terror he hoped to create. This Schwarzenegger I suspect is one of the most evil people around. A natural tendency to treat females in a controlling, scary, selfish way mixed with arrant idiocy is a very dangerous combination for a person with power. His stupid view of females (as evinced by his behavior)
is like that of Hitler in Mein Kampf:
"Like the woman, whose psychic state is determined less by grounds of abstract reason than by an indefinable emotional longing for a force which will complement her nature, and who, consequently, would rather bow to a strong man than dominate a weakling, likewise the masses love a commander more than a petitioner and feel inwardly more satisfied by a doctrine, tolerating no other beside itself, than by the granting of liberalistic freedom with which, as a rule, they can do little, and are prone to feel that they have been abandoned. They are equally unaware of their shameless spiritual terrorization and the hideous abuse of their human freedom, for they absolutely fail to suspect the inner insanity of the whole doctrine. All they see is the ruthless force and brutality of its calculated manifestations, to which they always submit in the end.
If Social Democracy is opposed by a doctrine of greater truth, but equal brutality of methods, the latter will conquer, though this may require the bitterest struggle." (Mein Kampf, Vol.I, Chapter 2, from
www.hitler.org [now's my chance to see whether "Disable HTML in this post" really works])
It only remains to see to what extent his views concerning women will have a similar influence on his political tactics.
But perhaps the stories are not credible? Considering that the L.A. Times went looking for the victims (rather than vice versa), and considering that the anonymous stories were corroborated by friends, relatives, etc., as having been mentioned near the time at which they occurrred, the reasonable assumption is that they are very credible and only a small sample of his total tastelessness when it comes to women.
It says something about how screwed-up Hollywood is that someone like him could get somewhere there. I predict he will lose in California--I can't think Californians are sufficiently screwed-up or ignorant to vote this disgusting galoot into office. I certainly hope they aren't--anybody but him!
