"Since I am an immature and wicked man, war and unrest appeal to me more than good bourgeois order. Brutality is respected, the people need wholesome fear. They want to fear someone. They want someone to frighten them and make them shudderingly submissive."
by:
Ernst Rohm
(1887-1934) German military officer, co-founder and commander of the Sturmabteilung (SA, "Storm Battalion" aka "Brown Shirts"), the Nazi Party's militia, execution ordered by Hitler during the Night of the Long Knives

Reader comments about this quote:
A total dickhead he was and still is just like the rest of the knuckle dragging assholes in the NAZI regime and junta.

    Brute force and fear are the last resort of idiots who don't know how to be reasonable so they think being the biggest asshole will help them overpower rationale and they just end up being insane and disturbed dipshits.

    Overkill and smash everything and spilling blood inhumanely to the point of one becoming absolute evil is not a highly respected route to go or virtue, rather one is despised by the people like my uncle Chris Weiss who used to be Ernst Rohm, not really someone I hung out with much as he was a total shithead as in he has shit for brains and is insane like Gregory Bovino. There is nothing wholesome about using fear as tool to manipulate people into being submissive when everyone stops fearing the worst bullies and starts getting revenge against them.

    I gave him the upper cut he won't ever forget this lifetime as he had nothing to say after that and was out of commission for sometime as I broke his jaw after he tried to overpower me with his size and muscle with complete lack of brains, he was vulnerable and the biggest douche bag I floored in the family. Not like he is related just in the family and not a good man as he bows to Adolph Hitler still as George W Bush.

    The bigger they are the harder they fall and the more they bitch when they have been beaten to a pulp but someone much stronger than he is or will ever be I just used his own method of brute force and redirected it right at him with pinpoint precision and hit the ground TKO for a long time. He wasn't getting back up anytime soon and his loud asshole mouth was shut the fuck up and his jaw completely broken and I was not even older than 13 at the time and he was much bigger than me but much dumber too.
