    It’s surprising how few people remember that Adolf Hitler was a guy. Like, a regular-ass human like you and me.

    Ideologically, Hitler is about as radical as a church bowling league or a couple teenagers playing CoD on the couch. The difference between Hitler, the bowling league, and the teenagers is that Hitler had access to power to carry out those ideas, rather than him having those ideas. It’s telling because most people blame Hitler or the nazi party specifically rather than fascism as a whole.

    Yes, Hitler was a bad person, but he could have been just a regular ass artist who may or may not have eventually outgrown those antisemitic beliefs, or Mussolini would have been blamed for all of fascism’s ideological crimes instead. Regardless, it doesn’t matter.
