Reminds me of a youtube short about the time a woman accidentally crashed her car into Stalin's and how his unexpected reaction was, of course, not to execute the woman on the spot, but to more or less shrug it off and laugh about it. Pretty undeniably sympathetic reaction, right?
Well, one Youtube commenter took this from it:
"This is almost scarier than if he had just killed the woman because it makes him uNpRedIcTaBlE."
Through the magic of pure ideology, you too can make the most normal, human things seem nefarious and machiavellian.
Normal people feel a close emotional connection to their cars and their sense of justice prescribes that only a murderous rampage will be able to right the wrong committed when somebody hurts the vehicle.
By displaying indifference towards injury to his car, Stalin displays the chilling lack of empathy and morals that is the hallmark of the true psychopath.
"If he had the instigator of the crash executed, it belied his true, cruel spirit; if he simply laughed off the incident, it made him volatile and unpredictable"
