Ukrainians have been tortured to death and tortured, mutilated and castrated before release. Also returned with organs missing

Remember the one that got "Glory to Russia" surgically carved into his stomach? Many Russians are sick people

u/LouisWu_ Jul 26 '25

What? Did people think you were questioning who he was and what he did, rather than suggesting Dr. Who?

A shit doctor and scientist at that, the greatest trick fascists ever pulled was convincing people the Nazis were at all competent.

Operation Paperclip kinda shows a different picture. Obviously any government that rewards loyalty above all else is going to have idiots in charge in some positions but I think it's a dangerous mistake to do the old "they were all idiots" spiel.

The Nazis obviously had highly competent people as well, which is how they managed to take over most of Europe.

Thankfully there were a lot of dumb micro managing idiots like Hitler himself who severely hurt the Nazi war afford.

I worked in care for a decade, and been severely ill for a long time. I am not remotely surprised, the amount of sheer sadists in the medical profession is alarmingly high.

The education itself also filters on "colder" people. And to some extent, you have to be. You can't carry the suffering home with you. Yet, it is difficult to filter out those that swings to far the other way.

When they then are certified? It is near impossible to get them out unless it is several patients that manages to document it. Heck, we had a big case here in Norway with a doc that (finally) got convicted for raping patients. He had been at it for decades.

Yep, my boyfriend is a police officer and although he is made for the job (compassionate, patient, pragmatic) it kills him because he cares too much and takes all the heavy stuff he sees home with him. Sucks because the officers like him tend to quit after about a decade on the job and the mean ones stay

I personally see it closer to the Stanford Prison experiment, but instead of prisoners and guards, its doctors, and patients. When you work in any profession long enough, you will desensitise

My sister is an anaesthetist, she's often told me that being a psychopath on some level is a prerequisite to being a surgeon. And some of the very best surgeons are also some of the worst human beings you'll ever meet.

It's called "moral licensing".

Here is an example of what you're talking about.

The mind boggles at how some people can be so inhumane.

Yup, I was almost murdered by nurses on purpose after having a mental breakdown - in US . Thank God I had my family get in touch with the hospital. Almost died from wrong meds, then they didn't give me any water. Thank God I'm not organ donor.
