What's the point of this? Do you really think that anyone will answer anything but option 4?

I bet he'll pick option one and say he was bad but not nearly as bad as [insert random communist here] or [insert some Jewish banker here].

Option 4, although I would not consider him the most horrible world leader in history, that would go to Pol Pot.

Option 4. Stalin would also qualify for HHHP.

Stark said he disliked Hitler because he had Rothschild blood that corrupted him or something along those lines.

Option 4 gives that evil man far more credit than he deserves.

The funny thing that constine has openly called for killing more people than the Holocaust. He called for the complete destruction of Tehran, which has a population of 8 million, larger than the 6 million killed in the Holocaust.

A normal but successful person.

I'm uncomfortable with the easy notion that we are not all Hitlers.  We are, we're just not in the right circumstances.

No, he was certainly eccentric but the genocide and megalomania are fairly ordinary human qualities.  They're just kept tamped down in we drones.

A monstrous tyrant, who embodied all of the worst tendencies of state power. Fortunately, he was also an unmitigated failure.

[T]he genocide and megalomania are fairly ordinary human qualities.

[citation needed]

I wouldn't be surprised if it were more common than we tend to think. But "fairly ordinary"?

Come on, who wouldn't do as he did, given the opportunity?  I mean more or less.

A shiny penny to anyone who can guess what that means, and why I wrote it, btw.

Opebo, are you saying that, if installed as absolute ruler of a country, you'd turn into a self-aggrandizing militaristic genocidal maniac?  Somehow I don't see you as having the drive Hitler had.  I see you more as a Yeltsin.
