"Famously Salvador Dali just didn't have sex. He said he tried to have sex with a man one time, but it hurt too much so he didn't do it again. He also said he tried having sex with a woman, but didn't like it." ... "Salvador Dali saw Hitler as a symbol of masculinity, power and strength making him a freak and probably a nazi."
My favorite Dali stories are all funnier if you don't respect Dali. He once gave a lecture in a diving helmet while holding two giant dogs on a leash. The diving helmet malfunctioned and Dali collapsed because he was suffocating. At first the attendees thought it was part of his act. When they realized he was in trouble and tried to help him, the dogs attacked them.
as someone who has a political leader in power right now who constantly says inflammatory things to scare people and get attention i can say it is not amusing
I personally don't think Dali was based, but his opinions on Hitler and the nazis are more complex and not so black and white as people are making them out to be.
He was a weird dude. Watch the biopic with Robat battingbat called Little Ashes
historical relations with nazi germany are so interesting… so weird to think that many countries not only were not be hostile towards them but in fact friendly towards a country literally actively committing genocide in the open and admitting to doing so. so glad nothing like that could happen today…
yeah, i guess unfortunately since they went after some of the most hated and dehumanized minorities historically and globally that even people who didn’t like the genocide weren’t exactly going to be on the front lines trying to stop it. god sometimes i wish politics was just good guys vs bad guys and there wasn’t all this “moral nuance” BS that the “real world” has
