Part 12/15:
The positive archetype of the "Great Father," exemplified by Moses receiving divine commandments, is juxtaposed with darker images such as Hitler, whose use of archetypal symbols like knights, fire, and order metamorphose into propaganda tools for destructive nationalism and totalitarianism. Nazi imagery exploited archetypes of strength, divine authority, and purity through rituals, light displays, and uniformity to mobilize mass violence.
In contrast, the discourse highlights the manipulative use of archetypes for evil—demonizing enemies through images of snakes (evil) and fires of purification—illustrating how symbolism becomes a potent weapon in societal and political battles.
