https://news.uoguelph.ca/2014/04/historian-uncovers-nazi-animal-laws/ If you want some more details on that law. Nice article on Hitler's dog too. I have read he didn't like cats but can't confirm. https://medium.com/the-collector/adolf-hitler-poisoned-his-own-beloved-dog-blondi-3007f3d65ec0

He was also on what's essentially meth, amongst many other things. Sooooo.... Yeah. Really interesting dude... So interesting that my grandparents had to escape from east Germany in 1950. Yup... So interesting that even a wheelbarrow full of money couldn't buy a loaf of bread... Yup. Real interesting dude.

I'm no fan of his, Yas. I just like history. He was able to dehumanize others and brainwash others to do the same. Lots of atrocities followed. I do find it disturbing there's a growing number becoming fans of him. I don't think they know their history well. The articles I linked keep things in perspective on how awful he was.

Remember that time Putin saved a puppy from an idiot? Same vibe. https://youtu.be/ltriFxc-hWw

That reminds me of when he let his dog in to scare Angela Merkel. Who's a national treasure I might add. She's known to be scared of dogs. That makes me think of Putin's own ability to dehumanize. He's using his dog as a show of power lessening it to just a tool. Same with Hitler using his dog, Blondie, for propaganda ads. The sociopath signs are there. Dehumanizing animals is a first step. https://i.tribune.com.pk/media/images/1026866-MerkelPutindog-1452689920/1026866-MerkelPutindog-1452689920.jpg

I would do that. Me: "Oh you don't like cats?" "Why is there a red dot on my chest ?" Me: "No reason..."

You're just playing around though. Mischievous sure, not sociopath though. You're still thinking of your cats feelings. For Putin it's about the power trip. For the record though I'd find that funny cause I love cats. https://youtu.be/gcSnX5aUAPU

Hitler was very charismatic and knew what to say to get people behind him, I'll give him that. Putin? Ehhhh... Not as much.
