The Midwest Is a Cult (Germanic People and the Holocaust)
from Dahmer | The Tim Dillon Show #320 (ft. Yannis Pappas) · #320

Tim theorizes that the Midwest has an eerie cult-like quality tied to its Germanic population, and jokes that Germans have a latent capacity for atrocity like the Holocaust the same way the Irish have one for alcoholism.
- The Midwest has a cult-like feel with something evil and underground about it, particularly in cities like Milwaukee and Omaha.
- Germanic people are cerebral and rational but missing a piece of humanity, which Tim connects to their historical capacity for rationalization.
- Tim argues Germans during WWII wanted purpose and were culturally predisposed to commit atrocities the way Irish people are predisposed to alcoholism.
- Cultural impulses are passed through generations: Germans have an inherited tendency toward violence like the Irish have toward drinking.
