[Intro]
History repeats itself
(History repeats itself)
History repeats itself
(Like a scratched record)
Fall upon our sword
[Verse 1]
History repeats itself
(Again and again)
The story of “my self-wealth”
(Again and again)
[Chorus]
The rise of hate
(And cruelty)
Is it too late
(To stop the casualty)
[Bridge]
Participated in atrocities
(The downfall of societies)
Banality of evil
(A deal with the devil)
[Verse 2]
Our story repeats itself
(Over and over again)
For greed, envy, and self-wealth
(Again and again and again)
[Chorus]
The rise of hate
(And cruelty)
Is it too late
(To stop the casualty)
[Bridge]
Participated in atrocities
(The downfall of societies)
Banality of evil
(A deal with the devil)
[Chorus]
The rise of hate
(And cruelty)
Is it too late
(To stop the casualty)
[Bridge]
[Instrumental, Piano Solo]
Participate in the atrocity
(No normal in normality)
[Outro]
History repeats itself
(Like a scratched record)
Fall upon our sword
ABOUT THE SONG
The Rise of Public Sadism and Cruelty
Part of my recent study reveals a disturbing trend among Trump supporters: a shared tendency toward cruelty and sadism. If someone finds sadism amusing, it not only highlights a lack of empathy but may also point to underlying mental health issues. This behavior reflects a troubling mindset that demands attention and critical examination. The unchecked destruction of the environment, the erosion of governmental structures, and the growing normalization of cruelty paint a dire and unmistakable picture of our future.
History Repeats Itself
There are similar studies examining the rise of public sadism and cruelty in Nazi Germany, focusing on psychological, sociopolitical, and cultural factors. Scholars often explore how propaganda, dehumanization of marginalized groups, and the ideology of the regime created a culture where cruelty was normalized or even celebrated.
Key works include:
* Christopher Browning’s “Ordinary Men” – Examines how regular people participated in atrocities due to peer pressure, ideology, and situational factors.
* Hannah Arendt’s “Eichmann in Jerusalem” – Discusses the “banality of evil” and how ordinary individuals can commit acts of cruelty under systemic influence.
* Harald Welzer’s studies – Focus on group dynamics and the psychological processes enabling public sadism.
These works suggest that societal and institutional factors can deeply influence individual behavior, fostering environments where cruelty flourishes.
