Hitler's father was in his late thirties when he met and became infatuated with a family relative, his own neice, who was sixteen. They married even though it was looked down on by society. This was the relationship Hitler was born into.

Hitler had the city this happened in bombed during the war.

Hitler himself also had an affair with his own neice when he was in his late thirties, as well as other ladies half his age.

Most of the ladies Hitler had relationships with killed themselves, and some of their writings are used as evidence that he was unstable, possessive, and into shit-play.

...and into shit-play

Because incest wasn't enough

[-] lessthanluigi@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

I could not help to laugh at the last word, even though the rest of this post was horrifying.

aaaaand the monkeys tore their arms off

... and invaded Poland in 10,939 BCE

That means the Neanderthals survive much later than otherwise

*goes aaaaaaall the way back to that fucking fish that first evolved proto-lungs*

*kicks it back into the water*

This is for the greater good, you little bastard!

[-] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You do this every morning to try and imprint the behaviour, when you get back all thats changed is almost all land dwelling life is now nocturnal because the proto lung fish learned to come out at night.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Way too much work. I just want the one that set the branch for this timeline's iteration of mammals: get it eaten, fast forward to today's timeline and see if Lungfish B managed to evolve into a dominant race that doesn't brandish shit like greed, racism, religion, aggression, etc.

If things look the same or worse, go back and punt that bitch back into the water too, and see how Lungfish C does.

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

So we would essentially be water people,

So dolphins

compares dolphins to modern life

Damn your right.

Hitler is never stopped because the people who are going to stop him just keep getting wrecked by monkeys

[-] Matriks404@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

I never understood why would you want to go back in time to kill Hitler. How do we know that somebody worse isn't going to show up in history books, just some time later? And probably as nukes developed around that time, probably with atomic bombs?

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

There's a documentary about that time it was tried. It's called "Red Alert".

[-] UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 year ago

That is if you believe in the "great man" telling of history. It could be trends and sociological phenomenons that elevate those men or a confluence of both. It's not like anti-Semitism wasn't endemic before Hitler decided he would run on that.

[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Isn't that basically what Matriks404 said? That WWII didn't happen because of Hitler and that killing off Hitler wouldn't have prevented it. It would have happened anyway, the question is in what manner, at what point in time exactly, and if it wasn't led by Hitler it would have been someone else, who might have been even more catastrophic.

[-] UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I was adding on that

[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Ah ok sorry I thought you meant he was wrong. Then let's say all of us agree on the matter

[-] emptiestplace@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Are we mostly in agreement that free will is an illusion, then?

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

What isn't an illusion?

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Shit posting.

And pretending like parents caused most of your perceived jssues rather than taking personal responsibility over your actions rather than needing to project a scapegoat onto other evil people rather than just understanding that some of those people are just bad people.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

What made them bad? Were they born bad? Was baby Hitler an evil baby?

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

tl;dr: Separated identical twin studies have shown over and over that so much of who you are, the small quirks, the larger life goals, all of it is something that you will be naturally inclined to. Being raised healthily only serves to dampen or enhance much of what's already there.

-

Mass murder, a careless disregard for human life and liberty, inflicting pain both emotional and physical onto others. Most of these are essentially switches some people simply aren't born with. People can learn or mask all they want, it doesn't mean you're not playing with a shit hand.

All people are not created equal. Many people have a significant harder time going through life because they rolled snake eyes on the genetic lottery. Our robust mountain of scientific evidence and understanding of the human brain points to nearly all of it being rooted in Scumbag Brain / Body.

Maybe if you save hitler using a time machine you would save thousands of Palestine lives.

[-] mriormro@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

You can take your nazi apologia and fuck off.

[-] narp@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Are you implying that Hitler should have "finished the job" in regards to the Jews?

[-] fox2263@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I’m thinking they mean if hitler didn’t exterminate the Jews then they as a collective wouldn’t have been given Israel and therefore there would not be conflict in Palestine of generational hatred.

However even if you made 1930s Germany super peace hippy, WW2 may be avoided or something else happens and it occurs later with different alliances and rules. Maybe Israel is still formed but in a totally different way and circumstance.

Who the hell knows.

[-] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 3 points 1 year ago

When WW2 broke, many colonial countries take advantage of the confusion to free themselves from their colonial oppressors and declared independence. If WW2 didn't happen, those countries perhaps would gain their independence much later.

[-] dcat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

i bet you ask a lot of detailed questions during knock-knock jokes

[-] narp@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

I just think it's better to ask if someone is a raging asshole instead of implying it from the get go.
