    TELL ME THIS, APOLOGISTS: HOW CAN A LEADER CLAIM TO REPRESENT THE MASSES WHEN HE HAS TO LOOK DOWN ON THEM MERELY TO SPEAK TO THEM?

    I rest my case.

    Once Stalin’s formidability as a leader became undeniable, Himmler came up with the cope idea that Stalin was actually of a "lost Nordic Germanic Aryan blood type.” Stalin’s leadership could not be reconciled with what they saw as “Judeo-Asiatic”barbarism intrinsic to “the east”

    Perhaps this contributed to Hitler’s begrudging admiration for Stalin, as he swore to show him leniency in the event of Nazi victory. Although the feeling was not mutual and Stalin was clear he would have Hitler and his cronies all shot

    Although it goes to show how absurd nazi racial “science” was, which constantly needed revisions, qualifications, and convoluted theories to accommodate ongoing political and military realities

    If there's one thing I've learned from all these cute little memes, it's that fascists are really just cavemen. They think being big and strong means you're right or deserve to win.

        Pretty sure its more like 5'7''

        Besides, the average height of a German is 1.754 meters (slightly higher than Adolf) as of 2007, and heights in Western countries have been on a gradual decline so the average height was likely higher back then.

          Nah that conversion is only converting to feet, not feet and inches, there are 12 inches in a foot, and that's just just converting to feet only.

          They say 5’ 9” because of you type into google “how tall was Hitler in feet” 5’ 9” is what shows up.

                Looks like you were imagining a measurement system where you could easily convert to sub-units by just moving the decimal place. It's too bad that's impossible.

    This is bullshit, everyone knows that your height is artificially increased by the gravitational tension your spine experiences hanging from a petrol station

      Conversely, Stalin's height must've been artificially decreased by the sheer burden of office, and the international pressure

    Looks a bit different when you hang one of them upside down and paste the wall with the brains of the other, while Stalin just chills and smokes his pipe.

    If he was human sized then how come he could wield a spoon big enough to fit all the grain in ukraine?

      1.65m is a common misunderstanding of Stalin. The m stands for miles, not meters
