I like to take those political tests, you know the ones with 4-colored quadrants in a square that purport to tell you what your ideological leanings are. Everyone is so proud of always being somewhere near the center, me included, which means the test doesn't really say anything at all. There's always an option for you to post your results on Facebook, and I noticed one of my Friend's test graph had its axis labeled differently so I went to the link to see what was up? I was amazed! There's now one of these tests for everything, 120 of them: Politics, Harry Potter, Gender, Communism; you name it. Scrolling through them, the one that caught my eye was called “Villain Test.” Yikers! Can your personality really be compared to the worst of the worst? So there I was, sitting in my hot bathtub at four in the morning answering personal questions I wouldn't tell my doctor, wondering who I was most like? Hitler? Mao? Pol Pot? Idi Amin? Robert Mugabe? After considering it for a while, I guiltily thought, wouldn't it be cool if I was the biggest, baddest, most murderous villain of them all?
I love listening to podcasts; they contain all kinds of opinions and information that a counter what we're taught in school. For example, did you know that Stalin's Soviet Union was who really won World War II? The facts are compelling if you look at the Nazi divisions shattered against the U.S.S.R. on the Eastern Front versus about one-tenth that number arrayed against the Allies on the Western Front. Another thing was that Churchill treated Stalin very disrespectfully but Stalin was not insulted; in fact, Stalin was very humble, frugal & committed; he couldn’t help it that Communism is a murderous ideology. And as an administrator, one only need acknowledge his country's rise to prominence under his brutal dictatorship; who can doubt the trains ran on time? It’s hard not to admire the S.O.B., you know, expect for the twenty million innocent people he had killed or intentionally starved to death. Yeah, that old Stalin’s a tricky guy to get your head around. With these thoughts in mind, I got my test result: ta-da!
