ep. 208 - Happy Birthday Hitler Revisionism

Why can’t we settle history? Growing up in the end of history it seemed liked we had all agreed that slavery was bad. The colonial raping and pillaging of the new world was a bad thing. Hitler was bad. Case closed. But in 2026, all of history and morality is up for debate. The Zoomers love Hitler. Today is Adolph Hitler’s birthday, so I thought it was an appropriate date to remind everyone that Hitler was actually very stupid and lame. He was not some Great Man of History. He was a bumbling fool who found himself to be the boogeyman of modernity. And you liberals aren’t going to get away with it either. I’m sure you’ve heard the time travel hypothetical: If you could travel back in time, would you kill baby Hitler. The socially acceptable answer is always yes. You’d stop the holocaust! Wrong. The idea that Hitler moved the world is giving him too much credit. This is the same thing as doing the the zoomers who love Hitler but from the opposite side. Hitler was an avatar of history. He became the figure head of western anti communist movement. Gaza happened under Biden and Trump all the same. Libs also love to give Hitler some kind of villain origin story. He killed Jews because he was a bad painter. Or, my personal favorite, he was the most evil man in history because he had a micropenis. They'll do anything but acknowledge the complicity of capital. To talk about why Hitler is for children, I am joined by German correspondent Nick from Corner Späti
