More of a question for Psy

I've stumbled upon a few articles that point out people who are extremely homophobic may actually be homosexual themselves but are just greatly suppressing it. If this is true, then could the same logic be used with Hitler? Be hated Jews with a passion but there is speculation that his mother had an affair with a Jew and that man is his father, thus making him partially Jewish. So could Hitler's suppression of his possible Jewish heritage be the cause why he violently outed Jews?

I think Hitler's hatred for the Jews was more to do with the general level of antisemitism (largely a result of Christian authority and tradition) within society at the time, and the fact Hitler was a psychopath just looking for a political scapegoat.

Considering some Jews were made honorary Nazis, and he commented that it was a "shame" some talented actress or singer (I forget) was a Jew, I don't think he actually cared all that much about them insofar as they became irrelevant to his aspirations.

If what my dad told me is true. His mom was being treated by a Jewish doctor and even though the guy did every thing he could for her. Hitler still greatly blamed the guy for her death.

I feel that oversimplifies the Hitler situation.

Hitler was a cuck.

conventional psychology would disagree with you because Judaism, purportedly, isn't a mental condition.

of course it is a mental condition, and psychology is a pseudoscience, but I doubt you're open minded enough to acknowledge that.

I feel as if someone needs to tell you that this doesn't always hold true.
