    I’m wondering if it was always this stupid and we just kind of assume otherwise when we look back because we focus on the big serious things that happened.

    And because it’s actually more comforting to imagine Hitler as a political mastermind, rather than accept that a fucking idiot could rise to power and bumble us into world war and genocide.

      That was my first thought as well but if you think about it, it’s very much in context with the mutual feeling a lot of people have about the state the world is in right now.
