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.

That reminds me to rewatch Danger 5.
“Your mission… yada yada, and as always; Kill 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
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.
I’m pretty sure we know now that that number is a lot more than we originally thought.
He wasn’t. He killed Hitler after all
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
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.
Sure, Hitler passed some of the first anti-smoking laws.
That doesn’t excuse all the other awful awful things he did.
Also his anti smoking laws failed as the war went on longer and longer.
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.
And I’m guessing none of those Americans have had relatives who were actually living during WWII.
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.
That’s crazy wtf.
I will do you one better. There are people thinking Stalin was not all that bad.
I’ll up arrow you for being brave
People say the same about Mao and Hideki Tojo
For USSR we are Lenin Trotsky supporters here
Obviously, Hitler even gave credit to Jim Crow policies as being an inspiration for his generic policies.
The dixiecrats aren’t ashamed of that, game recognizes game.
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…
So basically the number is 5%, not 23%
I mean … 35% think he’s not all bad. That’s more than 1 in 5 (20%)
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.
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.
Related: we’ve all heard the stories of a time traveler going back to kill Hitler before his rise to power. One common theme in almost all those stories is that the attempt fails, that’s why history is as we remember. This morning has me thinking that maybe time travel was involved in a couple of Trump assassination attempts.
They did get Jenkins tho!
The only conclusion you can make is that Hitler is VERY good at killing time travelers.
Or we were forked into a garbage timeline to keep the main timeline from being irreparably harmed.
That’s a nice thought on a spectacularly shit day. I hope Alt me is still BBQing with my neighbours like it’s 2016.
