Villain of history who was not a villain
« on: August 27, 2025, 12:05:55 PM »
Disturbing FB post popped up on my timeline asking which villain of history wasn't a villain. With the overwhelming majority suggesting Hitler. Lots of very scary people out there.

Hitler rehabilitation is real and growing thing on social media. Included are many influencers with large followings. As you say, scary.
Peace through superior firepower.
Do not believe anything until the Kremlin denies it.

Many of them complaining that they couldn't say his name so referring to him as the Austrian painter guy, and yet quite a few posts on the thread using his name.
