Why do the West trivialize the Nazis and Adolf Hitler? :

[karim]

In just a few words, if you dont know the full extent of his damage not just millions of jewish people.

- he killed the disabled
- he killed the long term unemployed
- he killed the jewish people
- he killed the criminals
-etc.

his rise was similar to trump in that he didnt earn no props. hitler was a millionaire already when he joined the nazi's he didnt form them and he bankrolled his way to the top, not off merit.

anyway the atrocities they did to these people. the men he had around him were just as sadistic, the accounts the horrors. so why do the West love to keep his name and their image in popular culture alive? Its like they are proud of them and him.

personally think his name the nazi emblem should be banned from sight like in Germany.

Hitler was not a millionaire who bankrolled himself to the top. He was a starving artist who joined the military during WWI and then got into right wing politics as a veteran. He didn't found the Nazi Party, but after he joined he quickly became one of it's most important members and played a large part in it's success. What ultimately made his ascencion to power possible was the backing from Germanies captains of industry, aristocracy and conservative elites, who thought they could control him and wanted to use him as a tool to fight communism and the workers movement. In the end they couldn't control him, but the pact they made nonetheless persisted until 1945, because Hitler allowed the German industry to make huge profits through government contracts with his infrastructure projects, rearmamend and military supply during the war.

I also don't think he get's trivialized. The problem is rather that he's just presented as this incarnation of evil, whitout actually studying what made his rise to power possible and highlighting that he didn't kill all these people alone. Large parts of the German population were complicit and supported the ideology that led to these crimes. If we want to learn from the past, we need to have a much more complex understanding of why the Weimar Republic failed and what happened during the third Reich. The essence is that the rich will choose fascism and violence when threatened with loosing their status and influence.

thats my point bro, while many might have done worst his acts are so disgusting you would breakdown if you witnessed them first hand.

so he should never have made it to simpsons and etc.

There is no figure in the history of the planet, good or bad, that is not parodied by one culture or another. There is always someone somewhere that will make fun of anything. That being said what person in the history of the world receives more hatred than Hitler? There have been people criticized in public because they didn't didn't show enough hate to this man. Although there are plenty of people in the history of the world who are just as evil as Hitler.

for sure if you know any history on why all dominate nations adopt the red, white and blue ... please put me on?

don’t really know. hitler describes why they used the colors and symbols for the nazi flag in his book and it had to do with the psychological effects on the people, so I’m pretty certain something similar is at play here.

No cap i was singing the hills are alive with the sound of music thinking this sane thought.

Hitler wasn’t a millionaire on his rise, in fact he was the laughing stock of Germany after his military stint.

He was pretty much a loser in his mid 30s until he started speaking to likeminded people in pubs throughout Germany. He gained a little following, then tried to interrupt some European election or public event speaking his propaganda. He was laughed at then arrest.

While in jail he wrote my struggle, it was published. It also, sucked. It did not sale at all, he didn’t become a millionaire off of the initial offering of his book.

When he become the ruler of Germany his mass printed his book and basically forced it on the public.

In some cases, Germans would receive the book as a good job at work instead of a pay raise.

They trivialize slavery and it’s impact for the next several generations including it’s spin-offs such as Jim Crow. Hitler patterned his doctrine after the United States treatment of descendants of slavery. No need to caps for the Joos, they have more than enough help and moral and financial support than they could ever need

 

[Umoja]

It is funny watching @BlackDiBiase try to salvage this fukk up.

 

[bobbiewishbone]

Operation Paperclip?

 

[SleezyBigSlim]

Cacs romanticized all their villains fukk them

 

[null]

because they are judged by society as individuals

 

[Low End Derrick]

It's because he did nothing wrong

 

[Urbanmiracle]

Operation Paperclip?

In which, without it no NASA, no atomic bomb, no US military machine

His acts arent the worst and they are definitely for a MUCH shorter time period that at least 5 other so called Bad European leaders... even a few Asian leaders have him beat in that area of gruesome levels.

He was the most hyped and the group he did it to simply control more narratives and industries than any group in the history of mankind.

More died in at least 4 separate African events. Just the mutilation and rape and destruction alone from King Leopold to the Congolese alone is far beyond Hitler's idea of cleaning up his Own country.

Because of Hearst, that dude is the reason why NG keeps airing those docs and he was a sympathizer

also hitler was backed by the dominant society heavily. Ford, IBM, Citibank, Chase, the bank of international settlements, Deutchebank, Standard Oil

the same CIA director who would help Nazis escape was the one who met and Schroeder’s house with his brother(both would be responsible for many atrocities and wars and colonization efforts later and even maybe JFK’s death) in 1933 to put Hitler in power before the CIA would even exist.

Google Walter C Teagle as well. Hitler was also backed by dude who created the fed

y’all also have to remember that the people who run things used Ex Nazis to setup their state.

 

[George's Dilemma]

Plenty of reasons. One I think that doesn't get mentioned is the way history is taught in this country. You've got generations of people who sat in history classes and never learned just how horrific slavery, the holocaust, Japanese Internment Camps, etc., were. Even a lot of black people are largely ignorant on just how savage slavery was practiced and how their ancestors were treated throughout the years. I mean, if you knew black babies were used for alligator bait, would you still feel comfortable doing slavery themed fetish things?
