I know I should never read the comments, but I love that the very first comment below the article was "But Trotsky was worse!"
Apparently Hitler was kind of an ugly baby with kind of an ugly haircut.
I really like reading Nietzsche. (stares at feet. kicks rock.)
I really like the very last sentence.
Spelling Nietzsche is always a punishment.
Also, pronouncing around German-speakers.
Ambivalent about reading.
8 has too many syllables for a traditional haiku, but otherwise it works.
Liebensraum means "habitat" (which is an english word) not "living space" (which is a made up english phrase that doesn't mean anything). /rant
It is a really well-done execution of the idea. Could have just been a onion headline, but the article keeps delivering.
Liebensraum means "habitat"
And who is obsessed with his "Liebensraum for Humanity" project? Jimmy Carter, that's who! See! Liberal Fascism!
11: Agreed.
Reminded me of Peggy Sue Got Married.
12 sounds like authentic Jonah Goldberg reasoning.
Liebensraum was what the sexier Nazis were into, possibly decorated with a sex grotto.
15: One time when I was moving into a rental house, my friend and I found a stack of 1970s-era Hustler magazines in the basement, and one of them had a Nazi-themed photo spread. Sort of pre-Internet Rule 34, I guess.
16 made me wonder if some rogue animator has done a Frozen/Nazi-porn mashup called "Elsa: She-Wolf of the SS."
Uh, wouldn't Liebensraum be a sex grotto?
Whoops, misread 15. But, just to be clear, Hitler was into Lebensraum; Rohm was into Liebensraum.
I think The Night of the Long Knives was sex grotto adjacent.
I thought this was going to be about the game Double Hitler, the videogame where you play Hitler, or rather, you play the two little boys standing on each others shoulders who were Hitler.
Also, pronouncing around German-speakers.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't tietzsche 'bout the raising of the wrist,
17: No, only stills:

Not to be such an uptight Lorax, it was actually Beethoven who was German, not Mozart.
Also, some of Nietzsche is really funny, like the bits on diet in Ecce Homo.
28.1: And you know who else was Austrian?
Is that why the Nazis locked him up in Stalag 13?
30: I'll put another Käsekrainer on the barbie for ya.
