Now I'm curious: where you do live that this is strange behavior? Vincent Van Goatse has a new favorite as of 15:30 on Nov 6, 2021 |

By that same token I assume a French breakfast is always a single croissant and a cigarette

Wasn't sure if I'd get clowned on for picking coffee when the real answer is espresso or vice versa, but yes.

The article just opened right up for me, without doing anything. Going to other articles on the site, the third or so started nagging me so maybe it's an "x article per month" deal. Another piece that i'm not sure adds up to much but it's an interesting trip: "Rothko at the Inauguration - A story of America in three scams" https://hazlitt.net/longreads/rothko-inauguration quote:Looking at that report, I didn’t know that it would be a story, though I thought it might be. I certainly didn’t think I’d be puzzling over it for the next eight years. It was written by a kind of fine art scientist named James Martin. It described his analysis of a 50-inch by 40-inch oil painting, Untitled, 1956. “Hereinafter” the report said, “the “Painting”.”

I'm not a "buff" but I have a feeling that if hitler had been a painter, all else being the same, you'd have had some other fascist type government in germany, and scapegoating Jews was pretty widespread in europe already... I know you're talking about wartime assassination plots which is a different beast. But it reminded me, it's just something I feel like people don't talk about enough when talkin' bout killin hitler. You'd need like... a german lenin or something in the 1910s/20s to wrench germany off that approximate track. Killing hitler in wartime, well, that'd be bad for the party but there were a lotta odious nazis ready to step up and continue what they'd planned for like ten years. I dunno, again, I am not a "buff" of "history" really.

The most famous plot was by a bunch of Nazis who thought Hitler wasn’t nazi’ing right. It wasn’t a case of “oh my god this one dude is making me commit all these atrocities!”, it was very much “aw hell yeah, I get to war crime!”

The specifics would have changed, but I can't help but feel that there were plenty of other "potential Hitlers" in Germany and one of them would have assumed a functionally identical role in the end. The specific Nazi Germany would have changed but the overall arc writ large would have been roughly the same.

Georg Elser was just some working class schmuck who realized 'Hitler's evil as gently caress, someone's gotta kill him'. So he found out when Hitler was gonna be in town giving a speech, and spent a month sneaking into the convention hall, hollowing out the pillar next to the podium, and filling it with stolen explosives. His time bomb worked perfectly, but sadly Hitler cut his speech short and left half an hour early, so it only killed lesser nazis.
