Any true Hitler 2.0 who appeared would be promoting a message that at least 40% of the public would rally around. I chose that figure because that was more or less the actual popular vote for the original Hitler when he was appointed Chancellor by President Hindenburg. He would be joyfully celebrated by media and academia (remember Professor Heidegger’s shameful capitulation to Naziism and his disciple Ernst Nolte’s shameful “phenological explanation-cum-exculpation” apology for mass acceptance of the Nazi state and its ideology. Our current President Trump does not fit this profile: he is still vilified and hated by the malicious and deceitful media and the scholarly oxen of academia. Hitler briefly was able even to delude western liberals like Chamberlain and communists like Stalin and Molotov. Neither the governing EU globalists nor Xi Jinping show anything other than ambivalence towards Trump. By constantly inappropriately applying labels of “Hitler” to Trump and “Nazis” to his supporters they are emptying these names of any significance. In any case the system of mass indoctrination falsely called the public education system has do neglected the teaching of world history and civics that most young people if asked what the names Sobibor or Treblinka refer to would more likely think of them as German metal rock bands than anything else.

Exactly! If Hitler 2.0 comes, he will be popular and celebrated as a hero, like Pharma Nazi Fauci, Mengele 2.0, was actually, not condemned everywhere as Trump. I wish more people saw it instead of buying MSM defamatory divisive narratives.

It is important that people on the right create a huge campaign against labels.

Nick Fuentes made fun of women, and discovered that women have a thinner skin than blacks, Muslims, Jews, homosexuals.... Two incidences of creazy feminists attempting to kill him.

Holy fuck, that's not funny at all.

But yeah, I fully agree that we need to get rid of labels, loaded language and emotional exaggeration altogether.

Fuentes is an antiSemite, just saying. There's nothing funny about him. As for thinner skin, he sounds like a sexist too. FYI, I don't use these terms lightly. I'm just stating facts.

Fantastic article! Every single Repub. POTUS since IDK, Nixon was smeared as Hitler!

An interesting essay. The deliberate continuous mis-use of word meanings is largely the product of a corrupt main stream media where narcissistic (bad) actors are rewarded with bonuses and perceived adulation for "gotcha" moments and cheap shots. These banal performances attract the lowest levels of human nature. where individuals can click and leer from the anonymous world in their cell phones.

A great comment and a valid point. So it's basically not just power corrupts but power attracts already corrupted people, here's the same logic.
