What's wrong with kids doing the high chin?

41

u/Horror-Collar-5277 2d ago

I mainly say it cause Hitler and Stalin both doing it.

But also it's a sign of self worth. And to be too high might be an excess of self worth.

Which would explain why they gassed and starved millions.

u/lark0317 2d ago

It's looking down your nose. Both Stalin and Hitler are doing it, and it looks like contempt to me. Turns out both were contemptuous, murderous villains, so... maybe a touch of humility goes a long way?
