Do you understand how scary this picture is
god forbid a real person do real person things he wasnt just a robot who killed people jesus fucking christ
uh yeah its not like he killed and tortured six million jews or anything
Hold on just a tick. Listen, Iām Jewish, so Iām perfectly capable of understanding that what he did was justā¦..well, there are no words for it. But letās not round it up to simply Jews that got killed. It was six millionĀ peopleĀ that died in those camps, not just Jews. Did you know that homosexuals were sent there, too? Yeah, Iām sure you did. They had to wear special little symbols on their clothes. Do you know what it was? It was a pink triangle.
It was six million PEOPLE.Ā
But you let that roll over in your mind for a while and you are going to forever see this man as a monster, but thatās not what he was. He was someone who thought he was truly doing something right for his nation, no matter how shitty he was doing it. Believe me when I say that I donāt like him. I really donāt. My grandfatherās brothers died in those camps, and my grandfather escaped to Spain, then to Mexico. He was lucky.
This is not a monster holding hands with a little girl.
This is Adolf Hitler, a man, holding hands with a little girl.Ā
Yeah. Itās fucking scary. It really is. Do you know why?
Itās because youāre seeing that he wasnāt, in fact, a monster. Youāre seeing in this picture that he was a man. He was a man, and thatās really the saddest part of it all.
As a History major who specializes in the history of early modern Europe, Iāve studied a lot of dictators in detail, not just Hitler. The number one mistake anyone could ever make in history is making the assumption that only inhuman monsters are capable of doing terrible things.
Stop dehumanizing Hitler just so you can reassure yourself that ānormalā humans arenāt capable of doing bad things.Ā Hitler liked children and dogs, he was a vegetarian and he cried like a little boy when his mother died. Iām not saying he was a good, innocent person, but when you stop attributing human characteristics to historical figures like Hitler, itās how you overlook people just like him in real life, and itās how people like him end up back in power.Thatās the real truth: Human Beings are scarier than any āmonstersā out there because weāre all born blank slates and BECOME our legacy.
This is the best post Iāve seen in a while.
