well he knew how to get what he wanted, but unfortunatly what he wanted was genocide, so yeah hes pretty low on the list of my favorite people
Aside from the prior sarcastic remarks, I believe he would have made a powerful, great leader if his agenda and priories we're different, obviously. I'm willing to argue this with anyone, really.
He was probably quite smart because he had a whole country convinced that jews were bad (well most of germany) and that would be pretty hard so he would have had a good brain, Just a shame about his antics.
HAHA he was noooo genius... theres a fine line between genius and completely fucking insane and i believe he crossed that it. Though i can't say anything against him...i mean if i had the power i'd go for world domination too ...who the fuck wouldn't?
I have his book... too bad I have reading difficulties And also I disagree with Sourlamb, there's absolutely no association among sanity and intelligence.
Here's a fun fact, Hitler's mothers doctor convinced her to not have an abortion. What an asshole, haha.
There's no doubt that he was an amazing leader and speaker. Just think what he was actually able to acheive, simply by speaking to the people. It's just a shame that his ideals didn't fit with societies moral codes.
No doubt he was an incredibly intelligent politician. It would be pretty tough to establish a dictatorship like that if he wasn't. I think that is universally accepted. He did some really good things for the country: Autobahn, sorting out the economy, making Germany a great power again, etc. However, he had some pretty extremist ideas and it was pretty fucked up how he went about carrying out those ideas (to say the least). On a whole I would have to agree with the OP
lmfao, +rep for making an exceptional good reference,but in all honesty he's a man that did had great intelligence. I think he he's one of the Genius tyrant,yet most tyrants are geniuses.
Actually as he neared the end of his life syphillis really set in and he did start going slightly insane. But there is no denying that the dude was highly intelligent, it just so happens that his priorities were really fucked up. I'm completely appalled by the holocaust as are most people but to say the guy was purely insane his whole life is a joke. Look at how powerful his speeches were. He moved an entire country. Let's not even get into the reason why Germany was in such ruins and really caused his rise to power in the early 30s.
"Hitler Was an Evil Genius? Claimed By: The [Alternate] History Channel , Nazi admirers, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Hitler, in addition to being the go-to example in every bad debate, has sort of become history's supervillain. Hitler was the Lex Luthor to the non-Aryan Superman. Why it's Bullshit: Since there are no cheap shots when it comes to Hitler, let's get this out of the way: Do you have any idea how hard it is to get rejected by an art school? Chris Ofili got into art school, and he painted a Virgin Mary using fecal matter. Yet Hitler failed his entrance exam. Twice. And his cognitive failings continued long after academia. The guy was like the polar-opposite of Charlie Brown: shitty at everything, yet unbelievably successful. His Munich Beer Putsch was basically one enormous "let's get arrested!" day event, yet he somehow got away with serving only a few months for "high treason." While in jail, he wrote a book so shitty that it makes Stephen King's Christine look like Wuthering Heights, and yet it made enough money that Hitler was able to buy a Mercedes from the royalties while he was still imprisoned. As a politician, he was a famous speaker despite his silly accent; had trouble breaking 40 percent in the polls despite "thinning" (assassinating) opposition. We'd accuse him of witchery were we not so sure he would have fucked that up too. His contributions as a military tactician included allying Germany with a living cartoon character. Benito Mussolini: This dude existed. Like George Lucas bent on world domination, Hitler simply gets too much credit for the decisions made by people around him. Germany's successful invasion of France, for example, had nothing to do with Hitler's planning. His contribution was the part where he let 300,000 Allies escape at the Battle of Dunkirk, and where he singlehandedly blew The Battle of Britain with every advantage going for him, canceling the invasion of Britain in what would be the first real turning point of the war. In short, Hitler was that asshole who knows absolutely nothing about Texas Hold 'Em, yet kept winning every round because the bastard had more luck than brains. You never hear about the bumbling shenanigans he lucked his way out of for the same reason they never used Forrest Gump as a Bond-villain: It doesn't make for a good story." - Cracked
Hitler, didn't kill anybody atleast it has never been proved, he got people to kill for him. Which makes those people bad not him.
If I hired someone to kill my family, I'd say I was one bad (and sick) mothafucka. But anyways, of course Hitler was a genius. You can't expect a dumbass to start something like he did. No props for any of it though since he used his abilities for the worst possible reasons.
He would have taken over the world if he hadn't been fight like every country in the world at once lulz. Smart guy, but none the less, evil.
