Opinion of Adolf Hitler as a person?

[TheReckoning]

Regardless of his policies, what is your opinion of Adolf Hitler as a person?

[Goldwater]

Nice guy, FF.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

HP, but he should have had a successful art career regardless...in the sense we'd all be better off if he did.

FF. Hitler was a sensitive man, and we all make mistakes.

While it concerns me, to quite an extent, what he did as Führer, I prefer to think of it as a teaching moment.

This is Norm Macdonald tier satire, good job. Also,

His paintings were entirely amateurish, maybe he should have applied to a lesser grade art school.

You might have a point here. Not everyone can be a Picasso.

Even among art grads, his stuff is amateurish compared to what normally is required to be accepted to one of the most prestigious art schools in Europe.

FF. He gave the ultimate sacrifice by giving up his manhood in the defense of his adoptive nation against the warmongering fr*nch.

Do you think he could have became as great as, say, Franz Marc? With practice and experience, of course.

His posts are always very polite

He was an evil bastard, but I don't think he was insane:

[OSR stands with Israel]

The most evil person in history

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Of course HP FDR broke the DIXIECRAT party and Eisenhower defeated Nazis and put Warren on the Crt to end segregation, like Segregation, Nazis was an apartheid among the Jews and Stalin sent many Jews to Siberia like Putin is killing Ukranians we're weren't living during that time , but all apartheid is even

That's why DIXIECRAT Prez among Blks and Latinos especially and some whites are no better than DIXIECRAT Jefferson Davis and General Lee they supported Apartheid including Jefferson and Jackson

Subject of this video aside (he's probably right here), TIK is not a reputable source for information on Nazi Germany. He has multiple hour long videos insisting that Hitler was a socialist and that denial of this 'truth' is akin to Holocaust denial

[Sir Mohamed]

He loved and died for his country, loved children and his Blondi. Nice guy, FF

Kidding aside, obviously he probably was the most evil person that existed.

TIK has some fairly decent videos on the Eastern Front as well, which is why the meme response to him was that he should "stick to tanks" came about after he started to dabble into World War II politics.

The source of the issue is that he is a devout Austrian and thus sees all political history through the lens of Austrian economic and libertarian political thought. He uses the one dimensional "scope of government" linear political spectrum and thus places all forms of "bigger government" on the left. He puts Conservatives on the left as well.

He makes a great factual case for his arguments, but it all boils down to how you view the political spectrum and thus unless you accept the Austrian/Libertarian view, you aren't likely to agree with his conclusions.

I found myself agreeing with about 80% of what he said in his 5hr long "Hitler was a Socialist Video" (which I spent a week watching) and still disagreed with his conclusions, simply because proving Hitler had a command economy, manipulated the market, engaged in mass theft via the Holocaust, and had to go to war when he did because his gangster economic model needed more plunder, and so on for five hours, doesn't amount to much if prefer the political compass/matrix or a triangular diagram of the political spectrum.

As for the holocaust denial aspect, TiK's contention is that Hitler wanted to "socialize the Aryan" race, and this dictated the expulsion of the Jews and later the Holocaust. He thus says that if you deny Hitler's "socialism" you deny the roots of the holocaust. Obviously Hitler wanted a pure German state, with the others removed. Again it all comes back to everything being framed in relation to his Philosophical worldview where all collectivism/state control is socialism and then it becomes a matter of the basis for that collectivization (Class, race etc).  

He is mostly accurate factually, but with biased framing and ideologically motivated interpretations/classifications.

I generally found this to be a pretty good point. When we turn people like Hitler into an alien force of madness/evil, we open the door to ignoring the very process by which any random High School dropout walking the street today, could come about some internet video claiming that some x group is responsible for all their problems and then set about plunging the world into chaos, or just the local mall/school/college/Wal-Mart.

TiK has another video about this dealing with the "Drugged Hitler" aspect and while Hitler was on serious stuff, especially towards the end, a lot of this is overblown and also risks externalizing risks to "drugs" when that wasn't the source of his actions.

Hitler was arguably "rationally pursuing" an "irrational", "misguided" and/or "misinformed aim" and thus is responsible for his actions (the you can't let him off for being insane) and is a warning to us about the danger of misinformation and fringe ideologies/movements.

Hitler was entirely rational in his clawing up to power and need to eliminate the opposition.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Here's the one recording of him not speaking like a madman.

[Conservatopia]

I think he's alright, quite polite, friendly to everyone, fits in well with his fellow yellow avatars.

I should note that I meant that, in looking at his need to enrich himself and continue on doing so, he took on supposedly common sense government policies at the time. The Eugenics of the Americas, the manifest destiny of the former, the British colonial policy, and French centralization. All sort of things being applied to colonial subjects but not against Europeans for a while. None of the people here rate the European colonizers as badly as Hitler, why should Europeans get special treatment over non-Europeans?
