I have noticed lately many programs coming out which talk about the life of Adolf Hitler and his rise to power. I have particularly noticed that when they speak of his rise to power in these newer shows, they play him down as some sort of coward, bum, and unintelligent man who came to power more from luck than determination and intelligence. Now, the reason I ask this is not because of adoration for him or that I think mass murder is okay, but that it may give people reason to question the basis for these untruths being spread and push them to the other side. The man won the Iron Cross 1st and 2nd class, was wounded in battle, staged a failed coup and ultimately came to lead the most powerful army the world has ever seen, he was not a weak fool. I look at what the media is trying to do now, where they must see that the ghost of Hitler is fading and want to drive the point back home that he was bad, and can't help but see it backfiring. Much like Trump's election and Brexit, people are being sick of being told they are shit and will buck against that system. I believe this will be another cause for that pushback. It's like when 240 talks about when the cops shoot someone and lie about the circumstances, it does not matter what else happened, if the cop was in the right or the wrong, when you build your argument on a lie, people will go against it. Anyone else notice this type of propaganda? I have also noticed it about USSR and Stalin, although most were already aware of that.
