just what ive heard. also, hitler was bad at scale, but how actually vile was he? like, he was a monster, but is he more of a monster than.... okay there's literally nothing I can type there that wouldn't require a trigger warning. but vileness VS opportunity is real.
anyway; there have been things throughout history that were more sadistic and horrifying than anything hitler did, but they just weren't done by anyone with the appeal to make them happen at scale. what made hitler a special kind of monster isn't how horrible he was-people that bad are a dime a dozen, and worse isn't hard to find. it's that he could give it some mass appeal and had the charisma+luck to make a real push to get power to do it.
i could pm one to you, but i don't know how to do spoiler tags and don't care enough to learn.
but hitler just killed. indiscriminately and en masse. at an industrial scale. but he just killed and enslaved. hatefully, sure. the concentration camps made you die slow. but the goal was always killing. everything else was ways to extract value from that killing. rape happened, and they weren't considered people so nobody with any power cared, but there was no policy of rape. there was no policy of mutilation or watching your children be slowly cut apart in front of you, no attempts to get loved ones to eat each other, or... any of that. and im not going to get into any more detail than that, because I have a fairly sick mind.
think of the most fucked up things people have ever done to one another.
that isn't to say any of it was okay. just that it could have been worse, and what's bad about hitler is the scale at which he did a substantially fucked up thing, not that he did the most fucked up thing it's possible to do.
