IMO the weird thing is immediately after WWII if you were to say Hitler had remarkable leadership skills it wouldn’t have been considered controversial as it is today.
It would’ve been understood it wasn’t an expression of approval, but simply stating the obvious.
“The student's father called the principal - Vicki Kim - to complain of the photo,” the group tweeted. “Rather than simply having Hitler's photo removed, Principal Kim instead decided to remove the Jewish child who made the original request/complaint!”
Besides his leadership qualities, Hitler should be celebrated for his contributions to a green environment. His accomplishments in the field of population management include reducing the world’s population by about 50 million. He also oversaw extensive urban redevelopment projects in cities such as Warsaw, Rotterdam, London and Coventry. These successes undoubtedly lowered Europe’s carbon footprint and significantly improved the environment. So Hitler should be hailed as an environmentalist hero,
But, but he kept the trains running on schedule, especially the ones where all the passengers in the box cars had one way tickets to the concentration camps where they could check in, but they could never leave, at least not alive (unless they were liberated at the end of WWII.)
I saw Churchill and interpreted it as being a forced compromise, you saw it as not being a liberal, and I think that could be on purpose, to break the pattern yet not have to use an American conservative.
Oh, Pol Pot would be perfectly fine with them.
Oh bam mah!
Oh bam mah!
They’ll cancel Churchill eventually, too.
And he was a vegetarian.
Fascism and eugenics were not uncommon in the early twentieth century. The echoes of both are still with us and the impulses exist in Democrat politics.
Earlier this year I saw a holocaust exhibit that didn’t mention gays (pink triangles) sent to camps. I found that surprising. It focused on Jews experiences. I noticed mention of Gypsies once.
Hitler and fascism have lost meaning with every modern Republican president demonized as both no matter how disconnected the notion.
Exactly. This is why cancel culture is so dangerous.
Tabitha Berry...I bet she vilifies Robert E. Lee routinely.
I'm betting the parents of the child still vote Democrat. I don't understand the Jews voting Democrat consistently when the DNC continually show antisemitism.
No ... we dare not erase the names of Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Idi Amin, Genghis Khan ...
We cannot learn from history that we erase.
There are many you could choose. The ones I listed just came to mind. Napoleon, Hannibal (not Lector), McArthur, MLK, Washington, Churchill, Castro, Mao,....... Some good men, some,......not so much.
Good point. Hitler has been abominated to the point that he’s difficult to study objectively.
As children, my brother and I sometimes listened to shortwave radio. We’d hear Fidel Castro ranting and raving on Radio Havana-Cuba, and noticed that (given language differences) his tone and cadence was remarkably similar to Hitler’s. Both of them were very effective demagogues.
Hail Socialism!
I wouldn’t say coercion was a leadership quality but then I’m not a democrat.
He too has leadership skills
