Damn someone should have told me about this! I wish he was mentioned in history classes, documentaries, any movie that takes place around 39-45.
<<chadaffi was raping kids in his sex chambers and Hitler builded 11 meter high super tanks and gassed millions while fucking his niece>>
In reality I just don't know that, I've not seen it. I have a friend who is a lot into this stuff and he talked to me about his theory that gaz chambers weren't to kill jews. That made made me understand that what I've been told about the guy could have been wrong. Once free of emotional bias my opinion leaned towards the idea that Hitler didn't want to kill jews. What is more reasonable ? That hitler and his evil minions that happened to be human wanted to exterminate jews by asphyxiating them or that he wanted to exclude them by putting them in camps that are kinda like prisons and people happened to die of malnutrition (in a period of war where food is lacking) ? It almost sounds funny to me how unbelievable the first hypothesis is, someone saying hey let's exterminate human with gaz, and everyone agrees because why not, this is too much for me, it's too big*. Sure my opinion is biased and not based on facts because I chosed to believe this. But I'm certain my lack of proof is equal to yours because you know.. we didn't specialize on the subject, we didn't do deep enough researches to have solid evidences.
The message I'm trying to convey to you is that you either believe what you are being told or you pick what's most believable to you. I'm not saying the first way is bad. It is situational. In fact that's how we learn as child, we believe what we are being told, "An elephant is an animal", "John Kennedy was president of USA", "Santa Claus comes in the chimney at christmass to bring you presents". As you grow old however you have to make the choice yourself that is you either believe what you are being told or you pick what's more likely to you and that's a very different process. And once you do that and you accept the premise that you could be wrong you are more open minded. You don't start wars because someone believe in another god, because you are free of that emotional attachment on such matters or you don't insult someone because he doesn't think Hitler was who we are being told he was.
You would for example trust an electrical engineer when he tells you that the positive wire goes on the positive pin of a battery even though the other option might sound better to you. Simply because he knows much more on the subject than you do. That's what I meant above when I said it is situational. In case of Hitler you could do the same... Believe historians because they simply know much more about the subject than we both do. However there is key differences here. The red wire thing is a unanimously accepted idea while the history behind Hitler is clearly not and nobody will gain anything by lying to you.
Hitler was promoting a racist ideology, he played a powerful role in fomenting a fascist society that viewed 'unwanted' people as something to be segregated and sterilized at best and outright exterminated at worst.
*The counter point which is: Hitler was insane that's why he did all that. That's not an explanation, that's a refusal to investigate.
