Now, I know this channel lost its way years ago, but how could F up the programming this badly. 'MURICA What you have to understand is that wokeness is the new puritanical religion and Hitler is the new satan. It doesn’t matter that thousands of Americans died defeating him, he is the boogie man by which the western world is now judged.

You have a new religion, people like you are radical puritans, and Hitler is your satan. Hence, everything is always "literally Hitler” or "fascism!” We are living through a new witch trials, and you’re part of the mob with pitchforks.

In all fairness, Hitler is as close to literal Satan as the world has gotten.

I’m not sure if you’re completely wasted or what, but if you’re suggesting Hitler was a bad guy, then I agree.

He’s not even a top 3 monster of his own century. Pure evil for sure, but Stalin, Mao, and Hirohito were all objectively worse, and you could make a lot of arguments for people like Pot. 10 minutes ago, Dave Moss said: I’m not sure if you’re completely wasted or what, but if you’re suggesting Hitler was a bad guy, then I agree. Like 65% wasted — haven’t moved to straight booze yet. Hitler was obviously a horrible human being, but the fact that he is somehow the dark cloud hanging over America in popular culture is a joke.
July 4, 20205 yr Way to ruin a boobs, booze and fireworks thread @TEW Just get wasted and fire up the grill already.

July 4, 20205 yr Hooboy, there's a lot unpack here... 1 hour ago, TEW said: Kernel of truth? BLM is literally claiming religious status now Meh, their ledership overstates their influence. I think the movement itself has gathered a momentum of its own and outgrown the organization. Most of the people marching for BLM are just marching against police brutality and want equal rights. I feel your point that there are crazies out there seeking to attack anyone deemed less than holy, but they're just a vocal minority. 1 hour ago, TEW said: He’s not even a top 3 monster of his own century. Pure evil for sure, but Stalin, Mao, and Hirohito were all objectively worse, and you could make a lot of arguments for people like pol pot. Is there really a point to this argument? Why split hairs? They were all pure evil. 1 hour ago, TEW said: He’s not even a top 3 monster of Hitler was obviously a horrible human being, but the fact that he is somehow the dark cloud hanging over America in popular culture is a joke. Better to be on high alert for the next one and be wrong than miss the opportunity to stop him.

Astute commentary, and the portrayal seems unusually accurate, right down to the era's linguistics, along with Washington's appearance and stature.
