      One in five do not think Hitler was all bad. Two in five think he was better than a lady who laughs sometimes.

      My thoughts exactly. Wait though, actually that is the fault of Democrats, somehow. I’ll get back to you on how

      They see the evil but think it will be to their advantage because they aren’t like “those people.”

    It’s like watching a horror movie. You know the killer is in the basement, yet people go and have a look while the audience knows what’s going to happen. A classic fuck around and find out.

    We’ve got to stop talking about “if” and “when.”

    It’s NOW. This is happening. We are watching the rise of the next Hitler, now, live, today. This isn’t hypothetical anymore - yesterday just gave them carte blanche to go full stormtroopers.

    At this point, all of our conversations need to be about how we stay safe in the wake.

    Ok, I get it, but we really should avoid looking at things/people like Adolfy as black or white - that just makes it a meme & loses actual historical/lecture value.

    With Hitler being a one-dimensional idea/meme/brand instead of a human (supported by humans with rational human causes) I’m afraid we are doomed to repeat the same cycle of mistakes.

    What I’m saying is that instead of education we have strong propaganda (after a specific date) that taught us this Hitler brand was just & only bad, like it was a spontaneous event. Instead of a full person & a nation (again full of actual people) with voting rights in irl situations.
    And propaganda isn’t free, it’s financially fueled, which means it wants something in return.

    Monsters are humans. We need to remember that, despite what we are preached.

    He wasn’t “all bad”, he apparently was very good with animals, like his dog Blondie. He was a vegetarian. And that’s probably everything which wasn’t bad. For the rest it’s all completely fucked up bad. No doubt about it.

    Oh and I just remembered he was very good at giving directions. “were do I need to go?” “Take the third reich”

    Obviously, Hitler even gave credit to Jim Crow policies as being an inspiration for his generic policies.

    The dixiecrats aren’t ashamed of that, game recognizes game.

    Kind of a loaded question to include the word “all” but I understand the lack of faith or respect for the USA right about now.
