Apparently Hitler had a dog. So maybe reexamine your beliefs if you think dogs are good judges of character lol.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

He wasn't. He killed Hitler after all

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

23 percent of respondents said Hitler was a "good person or an equally good and bad person" or "a bad person who did some good things," data from YouGov showed.

What a bullshit poll. So basically anyone who recognizes he cared for a dog is seen as liking Hitler.

Anyone who said otherwise doesn't understand spectrums and is generally using black and white thinking, a sign of mental illness

That's a pretty wild interpretation of the question. It seems pretty clear the question is asking about opinion of his public acts.

Because being nice to a dog is not comparable with murdering 17 million people.

Do you know the definition of "all"?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

https://today.yougov.com/politics/articles/50864-two-thirds-of-americans-say-hitler-was-completely-bad

There's no mention of "all bad" in the actual poll or YouGov analysis. That's just something that website added to drive traffic.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 13 hours ago

I’m pretty sure we know now that that number is a lot more than we originally thought.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

well, one thing i'll say in his favour: he did kill hitler.

(credit: jimmy carr)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

But he killed the guy who killed Hitler.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

That reminds me to rewatch Danger 5.

"Your mission... yada yada, and as always; Kill Hitler!"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago

Is that really a Jimmy Carr joke? Pretty sure that's just something every school kid has heard

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

Then you're part of the 23%. This poll is bullshit

[–] [email protected] 15 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

He wasn't "all bad", he apparently was very good with animals, like his dog Blondie. He was a vegetarian. And that's probably everything which wasn't bad. For the rest it's all completely fucked up bad. No doubt about it.

Oh and I just remembered he was very good at giving directions. "were do I need to go?" "Take the third reich"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think he was vegetarian for animals. He did it for his health. Something Stallen should have done.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I thought I heard it was because of his love for animals. I googled and found This wiki page about it. TL:DR is it's not completely clear whether it's because of health reasons or because he's against animal abuse.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 hours ago

Humans are animals. Its obvious he was not against animal abuse

[–] [email protected] 6 points 15 hours ago

Sure, Hitler passed some of the first anti-smoking laws.

That doesn’t excuse all the other awful awful things he did.

Also his anti smoking laws failed as the war went on longer and longer.

And I'm guessing none of those Americans have had relatives who were actually living during WWII.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

More than one in five apparently.

What was the voter turn out percent? 10%? 5%?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Voter turnout hit an estimated 71% for the November 5, 2024 General Election.

So 3 in 10 people are alright with this, and a few more are psyched about it

I mean I looked up the official results of the election on google and if that's not good enough for you then too bad.
