Reply to comment by WhyWorryAboutThat in Channel 4 buys painting by Hitler – and may let Jimmy Carr destroy it by kianworld

Plus it’s just a real feel-good moment for a lot of people. Smashing up Hitler’s shit out of sheer spite 80 years after his death just sounds really cathartic to me.

Cathartic is a weird notion considering this is happening only after the people who fought nazis and survived the Holocaust are mostly all dying off

Nah, tons of fascist dickheads still look up to him and ideologies he espoused are still alive and well. The legacy of the war he helped start is still felt to this day as well. Idk, he was a real dickhead. I think I would get a little kick out someone throwing a “Fuck Hitler Party” just to smash up some of his shit. There’ll always be a digital record anyways so it’s really more symbolic
