KV: So you graduated from Drury with a degree in History, you’re a history guy. If you could have dinner with three historical figures, living or dead, who would they be? And I’m ruling out football figures.
MB: This is probably not going to get a good review, but I’m going to say Adolf Hitler. It was obviously very sad and he had bad motives, but the way he was able to lead was second-to-none. How he rallied a group and a following, I want to know how he did that. Bad intentions of course, but you can’t deny he wasn’t a great leader.

If only he had praised Mao...they would have doubled his salary.
“Newly hired Grand Valley State football assistant suspended after praising Hitler in interview..”
That’s what happens if you dare speak a historical fact that is “politically incorrect” to the media and left wing political scum.
I thought that Hollywood film students learn from Nazi propaganda films like triumph of the will and Leni Reifenstahl’s film about the Olympics which was also propaganda from Nazi Germany
“...but his style would never work on a 2020 audience...”
Context..he wasn’t operating in 2020.
That is a good thing. Wouldn't you agree?
My former university knows how to hire them. LOL!
Wave that around enough and you could become modern democrat Svengali.
10% luck 90% rank incompetence by Beitian and France.
My 6th grade teacher (who I think was Jewish) assigned mein kampf to some of us students in advanced English.

He just keeps it for when the Brownshirt Dems come to his door.
See - I’m leftist!
Hitler was an idiot.
He was an atrocious general, an incompetent war industry planner, and a wildly unrealistic strategist.

There is a scene from the 1960s movie version of Fahrenheit 451 where the captain is explaining to Montag what books are about. He ends with the line, "We must burn the books--ALL the books," and when he says those last three words, the camera points to Mein Kampf.
If you want to understand evil and why it succeeds before it fails, Hitler would be a good a case study as any, and better than most. Someday there will come a Superhitler, the Antichrist, and understanding Hitler will help us to recognize him, for the one thing he won't look like is what we assume evil looks like.
“I always liked their leather coats.”
They did have Bad a%% uniforms. Hugo Boss designed.
