33. Hitler had his own brand of stupid.

Thu Mar 21, 2013, 09:57 PM

Mar 2013

He barely graduated from the Austrian equivalent of high school, couldn't get in to a painting school, so all he learned about politics was what he learned on the street. He spent years as a semi-homeless grifter in Vienna and other parts of Germany before WWI.

Though he's good at firing up a crowd. But ever read Mein Kampf? The one time I attempted, I only made it a couple chapters - the translators put in a bunch of notes where they had to guess what Hitler was saying because his grammar was so bad.

And most of his ideas, were, well, racist, blame Jews, blame liberals, blame unions, attack, attack, attack, reactionary nonsense. Very anti-intellectual.

He's kind of a German-speaking version of Sarah Palin.
