Apparently Hitler had a dog. So maybe reexamine your beliefs if you think dogs are good judges of character lol.
well, one thing i’ll say in his favour: he did kill hitler.
(credit: jimmy carr)
But he killed the guy who killed Hitler.
Is that really a Jimmy Carr joke? Pretty sure that’s just something every school kid has heard
Then you’re part of the 23%. This poll is bullshit
That reminds me to rewatch Danger 5.
“Your mission… yada yada, and as always; Kill Hitler!”
23 percent of respondents said Hitler was a “good person or an equally good and bad person” or “a bad person who did some good things,” data from YouGov showed.
What a bullshit poll. So basically anyone who recognizes he cared for a dog is seen as liking Hitler.
Anyone who said otherwise doesn’t understand spectrums and is generally using black and white thinking, a sign of mental illness
That’s a pretty wild interpretation of the question. It seems pretty clear the question is asking about opinion of his public acts.
How is thst clear???
Because being nice to a dog is not comparable with murdering 17 million people.
Do you know the definition of “all”?
There’s no mention of “all bad” in the actual poll or YouGov analysis. That’s just something that website added to drive traffic.
More than one in five apparently.
What was the voter turn out percent? 10%? 5%?
Voter turnout hit an estimated 71% for the November 5, 2024 General Election.
So 3 in 10 people are alright with this, and a few more are psyched about it
Source?
I mean I looked up the official results of the election on google and if that’s not good enough for you then too bad.
Hitler had one good idea. Right at the end when he decided to shoot himself.
Reminds me of this great street art I saw posted at some point. Can’t find the source though.
He wasn’t “all bad”, he apparently was very good with animals, like his dog Blondie. He was a vegetarian. And that’s probably everything which wasn’t bad. For the rest it’s all completely fucked up bad. No doubt about it.
Oh and I just remembered he was very good at giving directions. “were do I need to go?” “Take the third reich”
I don’t think he was vegetarian for animals. He did it for his health. Something Stallen should have done.
I thought I heard it was because of his love for animals. I googled and found This wiki page about it. TL:DR is it’s not completely clear whether it’s because of health reasons or because he’s against animal abuse.
Humans are animals. Its obvious he was not against animal abuse
I’m pretty sure we know now that that number is a lot more than we originally thought.
Judging by the latest election, the number seams a lot higher, more like three in five
One in five do not think Hitler was all bad. Two in five think he was better than a lady who laughs sometimes.
And the idiots that didn’t bother to vote, accepted this outcome
My thoughts exactly. Wait though, actually that is the fault of Democrats, somehow. I’ll get back to you on how
That’s not fair phrasing and will lead to high numbers.
Hitler wasn’t “all” bad technically, he was just so bad that the good shouldn’t matter at all. Pushing forward technology (VW Beetle, Autobahn) should is no way be justified by genocide (obviously).
A better question would have been something like “do you like Hitler overall?”
The full poll data: https://d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/Views_on_Hitler_poll_results.pdf
Do you think of Adolf Hitler as. . . ?
- A completely good person: 1%
- A good person who did some bad things: 4%
- An equally good and bad person: 7%
- A bad person who did some good things: 12%
- A completely bad person : 65%
- Not sure : 12%
So 12% felt he was at least as good as he was bad, 12% fell into the 'well, even a horrible person can do something right, and 12% were somehow not sure…
This is interesting, thank you for sharing.
I personally would tally this up as “12%” rather than “24%”.
Or at least in my opinion, option “D” (bad person that did some good things) is most likely the closest to an objective answer and “E” (completely bad) is a totally acceptable summary. But both D and E both summarize Hitler as bad. The people summarizing him as “balanced” or “good” totaled to 12%.
To be clear, this is still horrific imo.
and 12% not sure aka couldn’t really make up their mind if Hitler was bad or not… so ads up to 24%
That’s fair, but we don’t know why they said they weren’t sure. Could be educational issues, memory issues, etc.
Not a good look either way. Wild to me that number is so high.
I mean … 35% think he’s not all bad. That’s more than 1 in 5 (20%)
So basically the number is 5%, not 23%
I feel like “equally bad and good” certainly also deserves that label in this case.
Yes a question about Hitler being good overall is far better. Attempting to shove him into an all bad category is just dishonest and allows opponents a free win. The good absolutely should matter, because painting people as all one thing isn’t accurate and makes understanding how things happen more difficult.
Kind of a loaded question to include the word “all” but I understand the lack of faith or respect for the USA right about now.
He wasn’t. He killed Hitler after all
It’s like watching a horror movie. You know the killer is in the basement, yet people go and have a look while the audience knows what’s going to happen. A classic fuck around and find out.
Well we now know there are truly people stupid enough to do so.
Well it ain’t the token black guy like in the movies. The African Americans largely didn’t vote for Trump.
This is how hitler came to power.
I wonder when we’re gonna get the Reichstag fire
That was before he was elected, right? So the Reichstag fire was Jan 6. And the Trump history books will say it was Antifa.
I’ll be honest, I’m not super familiar on the timeline.
I’m not looking forward to the future though, even less so than before :/
Oh well, we persevere
Fools never see evil until its at their door.
They see the evil but think it will be to their advantage because they aren’t like “those people.”
Point of vampires is to never invite evil in
We’ve got to stop talking about “if” and “when.”
It’s NOW. This is happening. We are watching the rise of the next Hitler, now, live, today. This isn’t hypothetical anymore - yesterday just gave them carte blanche to go full stormtroopers.
At this point, all of our conversations need to be about how we stay safe in the wake.
We got to stop talking about NOW as if its only just started. Weve been building and locking people in concentration camps for decades.
We have been massacring civilians for decades. We have been profiting off of a genocide for over a year.
