Why are you so amped to defend someone that inspired the Holocaust? I never did that and I think you know that. The problem is that he inspired evil that lasted far beyond his lifetime. That’s what makes him a particularly evil piece of shit.

But I don’t even care, if you find an example of someone that was great in other areas, but that there’s some evidence that they hated the Jews, by all means, judge the shit out of them. I will. I hold people from all time periods to the same moral standards. I hope people do the same for me after I die. I could not welcome it any more than I do.

Good. You think I’d give a shit when I’m dead? If human morality has improved to the point that the life I’ve lived is looked at as monstrous, that’d be great! Luckily for me, I’ve never written diatribes defending the evils that still exist in our society as morally good, so the odds of me being singled out are slim, unlike Mr. “I Want To Do The Holocaust” Man.

Also ITT, informed Americans refusing to condemn someone that literally helped inspire the fucking Holocaust, because “nobody in the past can have their ideology judged.”

There were non-antisemites that lived in Martin Luther’s time. You are not excused from evil just because you live in the past.

He literally helped inspire the fucking Holocaust. Don’t fucking whitewash his legacy.
