    as if trying to mirror Hitler’s Wikipedia bio is how you bring about the conditions for fascism

    Fixating on art school and skipping straight over his time in the Bavarian Reserve Infantry is the most normal-brained take on Great Man Theory, too. We're brushing right up against the "Hitler Liked Dogs" critique.

    It’s babbling liberal idealism distilled into it’s purest form and proof that Alan Moore was right.

    Never bet against the Translucia Baboon.

      Yeah, it's wild how it's never really talked about. Reading "Who Financed Hitler" now and the book had moments were the author gleefully both sides things between the different nationalist groups and the Marxists. But he spends the entire introduction talking about the places where in Hitler's life where he comes across all these ideas. He quickly moves past the art school stuff because it's really not that important.
