This is where we are. The fall of a once mighty and respected nation, for the sale of clicks on a virtual landscape.

Call me crazy, but I don't think anything is going to get better in this country until we cancel anti-American propaganda networks on American television.

I've been around long enough to have witnessed Fox "News" and dipshits like Rush Limbaugh cause the current mania we're experiencing.

It really is all on them. It wasn't like this before they showed up.

I mean Hitler did kill Hitler, that should count for something about getting into heaven.

Religion, a severe form of mental illness, is the greatest threat humanity faces.

Which says a lot about the quality of Fox "News" and their so-called "experts".

There appears to never have been any thought by the oligarchs that have brought us this fascism that it did not work. That giving absolute power to one person is a mistake even when that person isn't a deranged asshole to start with.

It didn't work for the rich people that wanted to protect their investments from the Socialists, and that is about exactly what is going on here, our rich were so scared of a little moderate reform that they created a monster they cannot control that will destroy them if they get what they want destroy them one way and or another.

They think they are in charge, that they will never run afoul of the supreme leader, that the supreme leader will not tank the economy in 12 different ways, and go ahunting oligarchs to seize their assets. All very mistaken and all going to happen sooner than later.

All the atheist collectively rolled their eyes at the same time.

Hitler no longer exists. We do, and we have to confront the reality that people like Hitler still find their way into civic office where they can seize power and bring ruin to us all.

It's not a good thing for us to imagine a divine justice that balances out the evil wrought by persons past. It may be a brief comfort to suggest that Hitler burns in Hellfire, that Mengele, after living a long life as a fugitive, died a free man, that Heydrich's torment didn't end with his dying battle against sepsis, but in the end we have to come to terms that nature is unjust and if we want a world in which good folk thrive and wicked folk fail to survive, this is a society and an institution we'll have to create ourselves, from scratch.

And so far, we suck at it.

Better yet, ultimately we should recognize that people who make poor life choices are still surviving the best they could. In a working society, Hitlers and Trumps would not rise to power, and Heydrichs and Himmlers would not be able to exploit the biases of the system to elevate themselves to aristocracy-adjacent positions. In a working society, the only thing to gain with civic power would be the satisfaction of the fulfillment of one's duty to society... and that one gets to direct the movement of mountains and the construction of bridges for the betterment of all the community.

It's boring, but personally I'd rather constrain wars and torture and genocide to the confines of fiction. Make sports news, whether tragic or glorious, great again.

Kind of a click bait-y title. They claim there is no afterlife besides heaven, Hitler is dead, therefore Hitler went to heaven. In their mythology, hell doesn't exist.

They're also a raging antisemite who thinks the Nazis did nothing wrong and fascism is the only way to save America. So in a roundabout way the title isn't that wrong.

A friendly reminder that she was a Prager U staff.

Yeah... God once told Peter "whoever kills this Hitler dude goes straight up, no questions asked".

Awful shit aside, I thought people generally believed that you don't go to heaven if you commit suicide?

Obviously they would see Hitler as the good guy.

Let's assume god was ok with someone ordering the extermination of an entire group of people. Hitler died by suicide and the last time I checked that was still a no-no.

I’m afraid I’ll go to heaven

That’s why I’m hoping that I'm right

My biggest fear ain’t no red Devil

It’s being near you people all the time

I’ll be fine as long as you go somewhere else

Trump is too stupid to coordinate window drops of rich people. Vance scares me as he isn't stupid...

Pope Francis went on the record saying he hoped Hell is empty. Torturing even the worst person for all eternity is overkill in my opinion, maybe after 500, 5000, 5 million years of celestial reeducation, if he really put the effort in, Hitler's soul could be free. He's only human and given the absolute worst circumstances and decisions I believe any of us could end up fucking up as bad as him.

FWIW I dont really believe in an afterlife but I do want to believe in universal redemption, as difficult as that can be sometimes.

One of the most chilling accounts of the holocaust, is a person describing being ushered on a train, being told, they are being relocated and they will have a hot meal and clothes and blankets when they arrive. The approach a huge hill, with a big line, the guards gleefully telling them they will get hot meals and everything else as soon as they get in, this guard of course was playing a cruel joke. His mind destroyed by the depravity of the Nazis.

Then the victim describes topping the hill to see mass graves and they arrive at a station where a Nazi looks in their mouth to see if they have any gold and silver teeth, and proceeds to yank them out before they get into the camp. That is Adolf Hitler. There is a reason people refer to him as the most evil person. Sure others killed more indirectly, but Hitler killed millions systematically and with intention. Pure hatred and pure depravity and pure existential nihilism.

Other thing these far right psychos were doing, human experimentation, vivisection, (operating on people while they are alive) to do medical experiments. Freezing people to death to see how long it would take frost bite to kill them. Mind control and brainwashing experiments. Testing drugs on them. One of the guys who was operating on living prisoners was named Joseph Mangdeleve. After the war he was sent to the U.S to work with the CIA and eventually ended up in a psychiatric hospital in Canada where he ended up operating on live human test subjects once again. All of this within full knowledge of the entire U.S, U.K, and Canadian government.

When you realize the full history of what the U.S and other right wing governments have been up to, Epstein seems fairly tame in comparison. Epstein is nowhere near the worse person the U.S protected and essentially made into a spy with diplomatic immunity.

If killing six million people doesn’t send you to hell, nothing will.

That doesn't sound like it would fly even in the most religious communities.

All dogs go to heaven and Nazis should be shot like rabid dogs, therefore
