Hitler and the Anglosphere
Another day, another weird-ass invocation of Hitler by a member of the Anglo commentariat:
What lies behind the compulsion to invoke The Holocaust, Hitler, etc. in these outlandish ways? In an apology, McFaul ascribes the backlash to his violation of an "unwritten taboo", but, afaict, the backlash stems from his claim being dumb and wrong.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
It's because these people literally know no history other than WWII.
Hope is the denial of reality
Well, for certain values of "know" because they demonstrably don't know WWII all that well either.
I disagree with Loki, however. The compulsion is because they like to think in "good/evil" paradigms, they know using Satan would be inappropriate and Hitler/Holocaust/Nazis is their polite society workaround.
Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"
Wait, why is using Satan inappropriate? Isn't Satan the reason for Christian evil-ity?Originally Posted by LittleFuzzy
Faith is Hope (see Loki's sig for details)
If hindsight is 20-20, why is it so often ignored?
That's true. They do know the war happened and that it was bad.
A bunch of the people making the comparison are secular Europeans.
Hope is the denial of reality
The leftists love to call everything they disagree with either fascist or racist, by calling something a Nazi or referencing Hitler they can do both at the same time!Another day, another weird-ass invocation of Hitler by a member of the Anglo commentariat:
