Why is every fucking liberal doing Hitler apologia what the fuck
Years of thinking Russia is the most evilest nation to have ever existed ever. Satan's own country full of oligarchs and communists who are of course the same thing.
They’re trying to compare Hitler to Putin and realize the comparison doesn’t work, so they twisted themselves into a fuck knot and wound up praising Hitler instead.
Say what you will about Hitler but at least he isn't genocidal like Putin.
Say what you will about Hitler, but at least he never tried to assassinate an anti-Semite with polonium poisoning!
While it’s not new, all these new hot Hitler takes are coming into full view now because Maddow was talking about it in her show. Liberals will parrot every word from their news entertainment shows
My guess is they've been seeing takes that while Putin's attack is undeubtedly evil, it's not substantively different feom US wars in the Middle East. This implies that the US is evil, which makes the libs uncomfortable and cranky. So they go out to find a way to make poutine the evilest there is, just incomparable to anything anyone else has done.
Hitler did not use his office to extract bribes
But he did. He did do that. He did do the thing you said he did not.
Hitler copyrighted his own image and then made stamps with his face on them, taking a percentage from every stamp sold in Germany from the post office. He got incredibly rich off this scheme.
He racked up a fuckton of debt and then ordered the bank to forgive it all because he had the legal right to do literally anything he wanted. He also made it a legal requirement for all newly married couples to be gifted a copy of his book by the person who married them, and the person marrying them had to pay for the book.
Unlike POOPin, Hitler was a veteran and a proud patriot.
[10 minutes later] Okay so I'm receiving word that Putin served in the KGB and is a patriot for his country. But folks, my point still stands, Hitler is better than POOPin.
"At least the gas chambers ran on time when he was in power!"
I'm listening to The Third Reich at War and that's not even true. Some of the gas chambers, the ones based on captured Soviet tank engines, broke down all the time. Sometimes with victims already inside.
Well uh at least he created jobs for gas chamber mechanics.
I did have someone argue to me that Hitler was left because he used government funds to create jobs in the military.
"Hey Otto, they need you down at chamber 6, the gasser is clogged again". Otto grumbled and grabbed his tool bag, looking through it and pulling out a can of WD-40, giving it a good shake to make sure there was enough fluid for the job.
Just imagining this was a real human.
Just further imagining the score needed on the Nazi asvab to qualify for being trained for the position.
Meanwhile, I'm imagining what the 1930s German equivalent to WD-40 might have been, and guessing it's still around and being manufactured by Bayer or something. Probably some variant of 3-In-One.
tbh it was probably some poor fucking slave who would be forced to fix the gas chamber. Nazis needed all their "aryan" mechanics in the USSR to glue their massive pile of broken tank transmissions together.
"Uh... We're gonna have to pencil you in for tomorrow. Is that ok?"
(really though, they probably just kept the people in there while repairs were made.)
I'm looking here and Hitler didn't violate the 744th most important law that I value much higher than I should have for some weird reason, checkmate Putin!
And am still somehow wrong about this extremely specifically charitable take
These people are knowingly jumping on any chance to espouse their "actually Hitler was a really great guy" beliefs. No one can be this stupid to accidentally do this much Hitler apologia. I won't believe it
This is part of a 18 tweet thread
And it has other bangers, like "At least Hitler was a guy that would fight to the bitter end. Do you thing some criminal mafia boss like Putin would do something like that?"
At least Hitler was a guy that would fight to the bitter end.
lmao who did hitler die fighting? :thonk:
He died fighting the most evil motherfucker in that bunker, himself.
In the ironic twist of fate, this is exactly what Zelensky is doing.
Wait, this person is German and lives in Germany, and they don't understand that Hitler did all of the things that they're alleging he didn't? They should know better than me, someone who hasn't left my own state in the last ten years.
Eh, even German Libs and conservatives have a very shallow understanding of history. They know more about Hitler and the Nazis compared to Americans just because of how low of a bar that is.
Its even more "fun" he was member of the pirate party and very closely associated to the CCC the german computer club. The pirate party got even voted into the state parliament and he was one of the elected officials, since then it went downhill with him (but there wasn't really any highpoint before either).
He is extremely chauvinistic, classist, ableist and as you see Nazi relativistic.
There are other /c/badhistory takes as well.
I never got why "fighting to the bitter end" would be a good thing to do. Surrendering when facing certain defeat sounds like the ethical thing to do when that means avoiding further death and destruction.
He made it so his face was on stamps, and that he got a cut of each stamp used with his face. jesus christ these people are morons
...Hitler did not shave his entire face, so we could say that in the terms of no shave november that Hitler was even a more decent person than Putin is, as crazy as it sounds.
There's one, and only one thing you gotta hand it to Hitler for.
The guy killed Hitler, so,
Hitler didn't say 'All lives matter,' and honestly that's something.
:liberalism:
damn so liberal skipped Trump and went straight to Hitler in their new version of Bush apologia.
Hitler had such good civic values his regime had mentally disabled children be put to death. Parents who'd heard things about other parents in similar situations who had never seen their kid again and had been told their kid died would desperately try not to have their kids taken, but they were forcibly removed anyway. Wasn't he a swell guy?
I'm beginning to understand why libs might be getting tired of hearing the left call reactionaries nazis, it's because they're beginning to think the nazis weren't all that bad.
