There is a sliver of truth in there, that has been surrounded by more and more BS that serves to hide the stark truths of late stage capitalism. There is good Econ tho, you may have heard of a text by a German fellow and his English friend

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/18/boris-johnson-defends-uk-afghanistan-policy-in-emergency-debate

May delivered a scathing attack on the foreign policy and intelligence failures of Johnson and President Biden, suggesting the prime minister should have tried to form a Nato alliance to stay in Afghanistan without America.

“Was our intelligence really so poor? Was our understanding of the Afghan government so weak? Was our knowledge on the ground so inadequate? Or did we just think we had to follow the United States and on a wing and a prayer it would be all right on the night?” she said.

I didn't expect British politicians to take this even worse than the American press, but I should have. Somebody needs to clone Guy Fawkes and tell him not to gently caress it up this time.

this is hilarious, but kind of not a hot take. this guy given a monkeys paw to answer this question would change the world such that hitler lived until 1995, always meekly trying to explain that he actually meant something else.

but also lol "the butterfly effect" of having the holocaust happen in his weird interpretation.

Hitler, being all about aesthetics, literally turned Germany into an art performance during his reign. 50 more years of productive work for Hitler would be the US installing him as the leader of West Germany until 1995.

You say that like the US didn't have him as cultural director

Though the real take is that if it wasn't Hitler, Germany would have had a fascist unless you killed enough of them, the social democrats and liberals for a communist to take power.

Like with everything else America appropriates, his work was stripped of its artistic underpinning and turned into a pure vehicle for profit. Hell, the fact that you relegate him to "cultural director" makes this obvious. Aesthetics in America (and most/all of the world) is something you let some dude do on the side while you ensure number goes up, rather than aesthetics being the guiding principle of government.
