****Before posting this Blog I would like to preface it. One, this is highly controversial. Two because it seems completely random this was my response to a friend of mines blog which was about Hitler being a Pop Icon in India. Three, I do not support the Holocaust in any way shape or form. Nor do I have any preference about religion, I believe solely in Justification by Faith alone and see no need to follow an organized church. This is solely a different outlook meant to shed some light and understanding on such a dark topic.****
Though I would never go as far to say I Idolize Hitler; I do have to say that I can understand this phenomena. Like it or not, Hitler was absolutely brilliant! There is no way around that. His methods could have used some improvements and yes mass genocide is never good. But whether that's the case or not, Hitler still managed something that hadn't even been attempted for years. He expanded a little, economically depressed, demilitarized country into an Empire seemingly over night.
Now for all of you people out there who are too simple minded to realize this, and want to point the blame for every single bad thing that happened in WWII on Hitler. Please, either shoot yourself, or take a history lesson. For those of you who don't know, the Allies knew of Hitlers plans (not right away of course, but definitely before the war broke out) and what did they do? Nothing. In efforts to "avoid another war" the Allies appeased Hitler and let him keep pushing the limits a little further and a little further, until eventually the only remedy was to declare war against him.
The Holocaust. I'm against and disgusted by the Holocaust just as much as the rest of you, however I tend to see it in different eyes in the aspect of Hitler being a Pop Icon. Millions and millions of Jewish people were degraded and killed in the most humiliating ways possible, they weren't even treated like humans. All of this at the hands of Hitler. But apart from that, what about Hitler is so different from any other (dare I say) world leader? Dare I be more risqué and say, how is he so different than the Pope? Or God?
The amount of Jewish people killed under Hitlers dictatorship is nothing compared to the amount of other religions who were killed in "the will of God". These "infidels" or in today's terms, "sub-humans" were a plague that needed to be taken care of. In fact a popular term around the time of the Crusades was "To kill an infidel is NOT murder, Tis the path to heaven". So tell me, what is so different about that, to the Holocaust?
Hitler did the same thing any other disgruntled World Leader would do. Take the United States for example. Depending on your stance on the subject that is 911 it is very comparable to Hitler. Terrorists attack the trade centers, and the president declares war against his enemies. And they're still over there 9 years and counting.
Germany is absolutely destroyed after WWI and is blamed for the entire outbreak, even though it was caused by Serbian rebels assassinating Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand. After the war is over, Germany is forced to pay restoration fees too all of the countries that were damaged by the war, they are forced to assume the blame for the war and are forced to demilitarize the entire country leaving them completely vulnerable to attack.
After WWI comes the Great Depression. For everyone, but Germany feels the effects even more. Until Hitler comes around. He designs an affordable car and offers it to anyone that follows him. This creates jobs and sparks a fire in the German economy. He continues cons like this and using words to manipulate the vast majority of the country until he becomes the leader of the country. The first thing he does as leader of the country is outlaw elections, Germany is now a dictatorship. Using this power he eventually re militarizes the country and starts the conquer of the enemies that wronged his country.
A lot of you probably don't want to admit it but Hitler helped the rest of the world too. Without the start of the second world war, who knows how long the depression would have lasted! With the start of the war came an vast influx in jobs. Not only that but with all the men away at war women started to have a place in the work force. Which in case you haven't noticed is still in place today because after WWII the social norms were changed so much that society just couldn't handle reverting to the way it was before.
Whether you want to see it or not, Hitler did vast amounts of good for the world. Maybe it wasn't his intentions but they were the ramifications of HIS actions nonetheless! So in a place as war torn and poverty stricken as India it makes sense that they idolize a figure like Hitler. There hasn't been a leader like him since his death. He knew how to get shit done. Hitler was brilliant. Crazy but brilliant. Did a lot of bad things, but it doesn't take away from his brilliance at all.
