Leftists:>the Great Man Theory is garbage, it's not single individuals who change the worldAlso leftists:>boy, imagine if someone had shot Hitler dead before WW2
>>18224584Burning Man
>>18224584yeah if they had a coherent thought structure they wouldnt be leftists, whodathunk
>>18224584>right wing is when you worship Hitler
>>18225263Yes
>>18224584But what IF you shot Hitler? Would WW2 happen?
>>18225313Depends.Is he shot before Molotov-Ribbentrop is signed? Then probably not.After (i.e. late August 1939)? Then probably yes, but no Battle of France as we know it or Barbarossa, only invasion of Poland is certain
>>18225313Then Himmler would just take over
>>18225392In 1939, the heir apparent / deputy Fuehrer was Rudolf Hess
>>18224584shitlerites:>the Great Man Theory is REAL, it's single individuals who change the worldAlso shitlerites:>It wouldn't have mattered if Hitler was shot, someone would have taken his place due to material conditions>the material conditions in question being poverty and trannies in berlin
>>18225397>It wouldn't have mattered if Hitler was shot, someone would have taken his place due to material conditionsYes, maybe Goebbels and Roehm would have amounted to something even without Hitler, we just don't know because history is not reproducible at will
Nietzche predicted hitler because it was so obvious
>>18225392Himmler was too much of a bloodthirsty psychopath and yet ironically too soft of a faggot for it.
>>18224584Literally strawman argument, plenty of leftists just subscribe to the idea that the Nazis were sponsored by the German economic elite and petite bourgeoisie to suppress the communists, hence Hitler as an individual would've been irrelevant because the NS movement was an example of class conflict
>>18224584>>18224957Every time I catch some rightoid yapping about how "the next Hitler" will rise and save them from modern society, they always list grievances that fall right into the category of material conditions.
>>18225402Nietzsche literally lived through the peak of the "German Question" where the Germanic states consistently refused to properly unify because of poor leadership on all sides. It wouldn't have taken some pseudointellectual like him to predict Hitler
