    What the actual fuck? They don’t even disguise it anymore! I imagine the grandparents from these people, who fought against the nazis must be rolling in their graves right now and thinking they should have gotten a vasectomy or something.

    It doesn’t take intelligence to be a fascist dictator, quite the opposite that’s the draw for idiots like Trump and Leon. Organized crime, grifting, threats of violence and intimidation don’t require elaborate planning or prediction. Al Capone was well known to not be very bright.

      In the handmaids tale show, (spoilers) the main guy whose wife helped him write and institute all the policies ends up cutting one of her fingers off for reading the Bible, since she shouldn’t be reading at all. Eventually, they’ll see that they were just useful tools, but by then they’ll have lost their usefulness and there will be no one left to speak up for them. Honestly, I wish we could just give them a little plot of land to act out their BS, but obviously the children would be harmed in the process and that’s not really right.

    Me reading the title: oh it’s probably out of context, looking at it objectively he definitely wasn’t stupid if he knew how to manipulate people that well, he was just evil

    Me reading the text: ok it really is that bad

      Yes, there was a difference between Adolf Hitler and Vidkun Quisling.

      Holy shit the context makes it even worse. I expected something subtle or at least a ww2 context, but nope, it’s just a free compliment for motherfucking Hitler out of nowhere.

      Also the unclosed quote bothers me a lot more than it should

        I guess that’s one thing you could take from the existence of the Hitler Youth, instead of “holy shit, do NOT do that”.

      Setting aside their creepy praise for Hitler for a minute, the rest of that message is still pretty telling. They seem to think that any protest by educated people is a protest against the United States. They don’t understand that it’s possible to love your country and recognize when something is unjust and needs to change.

      Police kill a black man and people protest? They must hate America.

    He wasn’t all that smart. Mein Kampf is the poorly written ranting of a narcissistic lunatic with a grudge against the world. Sound familiar? The biggest difference between Hitler and Trump is that Hitler didn’t hire a ghost writer to dream up his shitty manifesto/autobiography out of thin air.

    But based on the fact that the modern GOP thinks Trump is a genius sent by god I’m not surprised they’ve drastically overstated Hitler’s intelligence too.

      Mein Kampf was dictated by Hitler to his personal assistant, who wrote it down for him. In the German original many sentences are shortened to “,…” Because the writer couldnt put it down as fast as Hitler was rambling.

      He completely turned his life around and became a martyr hero by killing the most evil person alive at the time, even though it cost him his own life in the process.

        Complete tangent, but does anyone know why the Soviet Union offered so many different stories about the death of Hitler? What was their endgame with the disinformation?

          If I had to guess, reading the muscovite mind, I’d have to say for the same reason they pump the world full of misinformation now: people they hate are easier to manipulate if they’re not even on the same page about what’s real

    He was reasonably smart, and hella charismatic. They just left out the mental illness part that drove him to utilize his player stats to do all the evil he accomplished. They could also say he was an extremely influential man because of his massive and lasting impact on the world. It’s just lipstick on a pig. We know the whole story.

      He was dumber than a box of rocks, and utterly incompetent.

      Comparisons to trump are rather apt in all respects.

        The main difference is he did more social programs at first to distract the general population from what was happening. Trump administration is too dumb to even have a token policy benefit some subset of the population.

        This is the part that I find oddly infuriating even though its already hitler. The guy was an awful leader, the allies even stopped assasination attempts once they realised how much of a hinderance he was to the German war effort.
