Freudian Trio/Real Life: Difference between revisions

** [[Winston Churchill]]: Like [[The McCoy|Bones]], impulsive and romantic, too easily giving in to his own desires (he was of course a notorious drunk). (Id)

** [[Joseph Stalin]]: Like [[The Spock|Spock]], cold and calculating, noted for personal discipline (paranoid personal discipline, but discipline). (Superego).

* On the other hand, the Axis Powers provide a fine example of a dysfunctional, even neurotic, relationship:

** [[Nazi Germany]], especially [[Adolf Hitler]] himself: [[Large Ham|Passionate]], artistic yet too aggressive and arrogant, reason for war is genetic superiority and [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] against the Versailles Treaty, [[Sanity Slippage|grows more and more chaotic and irrational as the war progresses]] (inflated Id)

** [[Imperial Japan]]: obsessively indoctrinated in the ideal of [[Honor Before Reason]] [[Martyrdom Culture|to the point of anti-individualistic self-destructive tendencies]] (obsessive-compulsive Superego)

** [[Fascist Italy]]: Provides the template for the Fascist mindset yet they are not as warmongering as Hitler or the Japanese, a little more rational with rejecting Hitler's genocidal methods and the Japanese ideal of Honor, but had a poor performance in the war, which forced them to ally with the Allies at the last minute (a weakened Ego)

** Georges Clemenceau: Ambitious, feisty, and more than a little bit vindictive. This last bit gave him an intense and personal desire to see Germany ''pay''. (Id)

** [[Woodrow Wilson]]: Emphatically moral to the point of being puritanical, as well as being very [[The Spock|cold and logical]] (he was not only a college professor, but he was part of the movement that tried to make political science as much like a science as possible). He insisted that the world comply with his ''moral'' conception of order, and didn't think much of anyone who disagreed. (Superego)

** Super Ego: Capt. Sig Hansen; [[Trickster Mentor|Capt. Phil Harris]] ([[Author Existence Failure|until recently]])

** Ego: [[I Just Want to Be Normal|Edgar Hansen]]; [[The Stoic|Josh Harris]]

* Representative government:

** The legislature represents the will of the people. (Id)
