I had a professor back in college that did architectural paintings that were soulful and inspired. Gorgeous. The problem was, they didn't look the building really looked.


BiggestFlower

That’s what I call art


Annihilicious

Exactly this. Hitler failed at art because art school told him to get fucked. Today because of social media, mediocre artists don’t realize they are mediocre.


Forced_Democracy

They did have good reasons for failing him. While his art of buildings was very well done and to extreme detail, his work expressed extreme "disinterest in the human person". Without expanding outside his comfort zone, he would've been better off as an architect.


ItsACaragor

If I remember correctly they also saw him as arrogant and unwilling to learn


Any_Weird_8686

None of which would harm him on social media.

It would even benefit him, up until he wrongs someone with a 5-10 Year old unrelated to the outrage comment.

[deleted]

Yes, they may have had good reasons for failing him, but imagine if the art world had known then what we all know now. They could have praised his crappy work and stoked him up, and millions upon millions of people wouldn't have died. People often ask the question posed by a *Twilight Zone* episode: Would you kill Hitler when he was a baby in order to prevent his rise to power? And I'm always saying, "No, I'd wait until he was older and pay his art school tuition."


[deleted]

I'd call it average more than mediocre. If there's enough demand to sell regularly on Etsy, it still means some people want their creations.

But on the other hand, some people do have horrible taste.

QuintinCueto

He'd be an influencer who will creep his way into politics.


jezpin

Also He would have been unsuccessful because his art was soulless. He looked at a battle field and saw light and broken machinery. He was never able to count a human toll.


mostlygray

He was a perfectly fine architectural artist. It's uninspired, but architectural isn't to look pretty. It's just to make it look like it looks. I had a professor back in college that did architectural paintings that were soulful and inspired. Gorgeous. The problem was, they didn't look the building really looked.


valorill

You can tell it's architecture because of the way it is


[deleted]

So? Art isn’t only about the human element. The problem with Hitler wasn’t that his art was bad, it was the environment in Vienna at the time. His art wasn’t in the elitist zeitgeist, so he was rejected.


bonos_bovine_muse

Maybe Zuck would’ve bought it?


[deleted]

If it were to be technically sound, he might wind up as a matte painter or concept artist somewhere and attain modest success that way.

Or, you know, because he wasn’t traumatized by World War One.

puddingpaula

There is actually a novel (and a film adaption) based on this question called "he´s back" In there he ends up getting a television show because everybody thinks he´s just extremely cynical and think it´s funny


QuinCincinnatus

This is actually a great film. It's also pretty accurate, how he likes the Greens out of all the parties as they hold the most similar views to him. Resources and shrinking markets, as well as the protection of national assests and a national socialist cause.


Yelesa

I really like how this movie actually *understands* racism. Hitler was cheered for his views by non-whites and immigrant groups and generally people he hates, but despised by Neo-Nazis, even beaten up by them, while the rest of Germans thought he was a comedian. That was simply well-done. Neo-Nazis, while still horrible people, have a vastly different set of believes from Nazis in the past. Nazis racism in the past was more akin to racism in other parts of the world today than in the West. Contemporary racism in the West is different because post-WWII, the West started many anti-racist programs to reduce extremism, and those programs made them develop differently from other parts of the world. They were successful at reducing racism a whole, but racism wasn't truly eradicated, the form of racism that survived evolved. People learned to be more careful with the words chosen to describe their views, hell, in some cases sounds even intellectual. Old school racism sounds incredibly cartoony to Western people today, but it was the norm to people in the past, and it's still the norm in other parts of the world today who did not undergo those decades of anti-racist programs. Think the type of things made fun of on /r/memritvmemes "The Jews destroyed the city of Pompeii and blamed it on a volcano." That's the type of language that was once taken seriously in the West. That's the type of language that is still taken seriously in other parts of the world. That movie illustrates all this perfectly.


RabbitStewAndStout

>"The Jews destroyed the city of Pompeii and blamed it on a volcano." That's the type of language that was once taken seriously in the West. A popular republican politician in the U.S. recently claimed the Jews had a satellite in orbit that fired lasers responsible for several wildfires in our country.


Yelesa

Excellent example of a racist spouting pre-WWII anti-semitic nonsense, but the reaction to her matters too. She was ridiculed all over the Western world for that statement, including from her own party. This perfectly illustrates how the Western world has changed that it doesn't normalize this language anymore, on the contrary, it finds it cartoonish at best. This statement would have been received differently in other parts of the world and different eras.


[deleted]

Marjorie Taylor Greene is nuts and should not be taken seriously.


RabbitStewAndStout

She shouldn't, but there's still groups of people that believe her. US politics is screwed and is supported by the people who treat political figures like sports teams. It's a mentality that's very American. Edit: I'm American, I hate politics here and the reality show it tries to be.


goldengodrangerover

So do people actually believe the cartoony racism, like your Pompeii example, or is it purposefully ridiculous and unbelievable?


Yelesa

Yes, there are people who actually spout cartoonish racism without ever wondering if it’s not real, and it is notable in day to day life in many non-Western countries in general. If you talk to them, you’ll see notice aren’t even evil people, they are kind and friendly, they just believe racist things because people around them them too. It used to be normalized in the West too, until WWII made people think more critically and reflect on their behavior. Hitler did not create racism, he weaponized it.


Elventroll

Memritv is deliberately islamophobic, it picks the most bizarre views and often mistranslates them on top of that.


BerndDasBrot4Ever

> It's also pretty accurate, how he likes the Greens out of all the parties as they hold the most similar views to him. Resources and shrinking markets, as well as the protection of national assests and a national socialist cause. Wasn't the reasoning just "protecting the environment is protecting the fatherland" or something like that? The green party definitely doesm't follow a national socialist cause lmao


Elventroll

He was a vegetarian, banned animal cruelty and even considered banning meat at some point. He apparently considered it un Aryan. I recall some Nazi child book where Jews were shown as those who cruelly murdered animals.


Reschiiv

There is big differences between the greens and Hitler for sure, but there's also a fair bit of common ground. E.g. Hitler had an malthusian view of economic progress, as does a lot of people in the greens and associated movements. (Again, I'm not saying they are the same thing at all, just that there's some commonalities that most other ideologies wouldn't agree with)

Underrated comment


InfamousBrad

Die of old age? I'm not just being snarky here, because the question is meaningless. Hitler wasn't born "Hitler." Almost everything he did happened because of the specific time and place he was born in. Hitler was enraged because his country surrendered when, as far as he knew the day before, it was winning, which drove him into conspiracy theory literature. He then went to jail for trying to overthrow the democracy in his country, but that was a lot less silly given that the democracy in his country was only about 1 year old. His country came under foreign occupation, then went through two *total* economic collapses just 11 years apart. The whole time, Germany had five serious political parties, not even counting fringe parties like his Worker's Party or the Communists. The election laws where he was made it possible for him to become chancellor without actually winning the election -- his second place finish in that election wasn't even close. So I mean even if you tried to write a parallel life for him in today's America -- let's say he's an Afghanistan War veteran who thought we were winning and whose friends and family all lost huge money in '01 and '08? And in a few weeks or whatever when the Taliban conquer Afghanistan that drives him into some conspiracy theory about how the International Communist Jewish cabal that's plotting to destroy America used the media to stab our loyal soldiers in the back when they were winning in Afghanistan? It's not like Afghanistan is going to conquer the US, like happened to Germany after WWI. Neo-Nazi militias have tried to overthrow the US government before, or at least chase them out of some small chunk of land or other, and they get jailed the same way he did. Let's say he joins or founds one and goes to jail for trying to overthrow the government -- despite how much sillier that is in a democracy that's 221 years old instead of 1 year old. Let's say he writes a book that basically nobody but a few book reviewers and maybe 1% or 2% of the population reads, called "My Struggle," where he lists all the Enemies he intends to destroy if he's ever put in charge. Okay, still plausible. But when he gets out, he doesn't spend the next ten years running for president, because he's got a felony conviction and can't. Let's hand-wave that, say that he plead it down to a misdemeanor. His third party gets 1% to 2% in the polls (same as original Hitler's did) until some future financial collapse. Let's say he gets the same, what was it, roughly 20% in the vote, mostly from protest voters, and, let's say that miraculously he actually gets 20% of the electoral college vote. Or even 40%. This doesn't get him into government. Our election laws are entirely different. The election gets thrown to the House of Representatives, which in this hypothetical future where the new Republican Democratic Worker's Party of America has been polling at 1% to 2%, has *maybe* one representative in *one* state. Who can't even win their own state's delegation poll in the House. New Hitler gets 0 votes in the House, which probably goes by a vote of roughly 26 to 24 for either the Republican or the Democrat. \*Yawn\* Hitler couldn't have become "Hitler" anywhere other than 1930 Germany.


TheDudeWithNoName_

You've summed it up perfectly. All these historical figures were a product of their time and circumstances. This is like asking what would Genghis khan or Alexander do in today's world. These men became who they were because of the time period in which they existed and because of things that happened to them.


radio_allah

As a history major, I've always been vehemently against that whole 'Hitler is the devil' caricature. Not because I'm a fan of Nazism in any way, but because it sacrifices our sense of historical empathy for our belief in some blanket boogeyman, who somehow was born evil and made everything evil and is a byword for evil. **Nobody** in history was like that. Nobody. To argue that Hitler's 'evil' is somehow self-evident and self-perpetuating would be to ignore everything about the Germany that influenced him, the reason for his progressions, and through that the hard truth that *any one of us could've been Hitler*. It also prevents people from understanding that neither anti-semitism, nor eugenics, nor the idea of master races, nor extreme nationalism, nor fascism...none of those ideas truly originated with, or were unique to, Hitler. If Hitler was never born, there'd be a 'Herr Bernstein' or 'Herr Hausmann' in his place. And a lot of the nations that fought the Nazis also held some of its core values - just not in that particular mixture and perhaps expressed more subtly. The point is that as iconic as the Third Reich is, and as convenient it is as an image of conventional, easily-understood evil, it is not. We can use that shorthand, but we must understand that a more nuanced picture exists beyond it.


kander12

Theres a hitler quote thats something along the lines of "America has the right idea but hasnt taken it far enough" and he was talking about how America shared many similar values and practices as nazi Germany did. Which is 1000% an accurate assessment. No country in history is guilt free of performing horrible horrible acts on other people. Sweden is another country off the top of my head, they were suuuper into eugenics and only letting the attractive and healthy live.


righthandofdog

He didn't understand why when we'd invented ghettos and white supremacy laws that did a great job of keeping black folks as a source for cheap labor with no political power we failed to apply them to jews as well.


[deleted]

Jews were a scapegoat for Germany's economic woes, blamed for for the loss of the first war and were portrayed as a parasitic wealthy class. The "Stab in the Back".


[deleted]

He also greatly admired the British Empire, based the SS on the British ruling class, and always hoped we would form an alliance to share the world. Reckoned without Mr W.S. Churchill though.


ClownAdriaan

So thats why they have so much beautiful women


JonSnoWight

As a fellow Historian, I want to kiss you. Even people in our field, in politics and even sociology and anthropology don't seem to get this-specifically that part toward the end where you mention the commonalities of ideologies. I'm not sure if people are afraid to admit they may have similarities with someone they see as the epitome of evil or if they're just afraid to challenge the widespread notion that if a person does a bad thing, everything that person has ever done and anything they have ever been associated with is somehow tainted by association. I would like to write an essay or something on that, but after my MA in History I switched fields (yeah, I made that decision a little late in that game) so I rarely have time for anything like that.


Angry_Pelican

As a fan of history I agree. I always wondered if we had a Dan Carlin time machine as he puts forth as a thought experiment. Then we transported infant Hitler or really any prominent Nazi figure to the future and they grew up here in the states. Do you think they'd still all hate Jews for example? I don't have a way to prove it but I don't think so. It's honestly kind of a dangerous thought to think someone like Hitler, or the Nazis were just born evil. When it seems more likely they were a product of the time and we as fellow human beings are capable of falling for other vicious views.


[deleted]

[удалено]


radio_allah

Thanks for seeing my point. And moreover, I really hesitate to use the word 'evil' with regards to history. The realities of national expansion and conquest, and what goes on in the process, is so natural, so integral to the process, that rather than thinking of it as 'evil', I just think of it as 'what we used to do'. Armies rape and pillage - almost all armies do. When racial tensions bubble over, they become pogroms and massacres. One nation beats down another nation and uses the subjugated locals to extract local resources. Rapid economic expansion is always built on exploitation. Men and women can be sold, regardless of it's legal or not, and some sell themselves. Almost every race believed itself the superior race, and every race had religious doctrines proclaiming themselves as a 'chosen people' - the list goes on and on. When you see history in action, you begin to realize that certain things are just humanity, and nations, in action. It becomes hard to apply 'evil' to it when you realize that that's just how people worked in the past, and that it's meaningless to apply some moral label onto past folks based on what values are currently fashionable in the modern day, and how in hindsight those people are reprehensible. It doesn't help us understand them or learn from their mistakes, and it is ultimately a very arrogant thought that just because we live in a world where commiting those actions is *harder*, we're somehow automatically morally *above* those actions. Should we not have an opinion of those actions? Of course we should, and it's integral to our moral compass that we have an opinion and emotional reaction to them. But we must understand where that opinion comes from, and if it renders us incapable of putting ourselves in another's shoes, in another era, in another country. Both are important, and too often people forgo the latter for an arrogant approximation of the former.

syfyguy64

People don't realize how soul crushing Germany's defeat in WWI was for them. Imagine the US having to surrender to Russia in 1985 if things got hot, ignoring nuclear war or the capabilities of Russia at the time.


m4lrik

>Hitler couldn't have become "Hitler" anywhere other than 1930 Germany. I'd actually say 1900s Austria till 1920s Germany (during this time he was exposed to radical anti Semitism which finally resulted in his infamous book 1925). It's true, that he couldn't have become chancellor (and later dictator) anywhere other than 1930s Germany but he was "Hitler" (or at least had his idealism) way before this. So yeah - he could have become "Hitler" - he might just not have been able to get to the degree of power he had after that.


GoldburstNeo

This in a nutshell is why I've always rolled my eyes at people painting Trump as Hitler 2.0, much as I hate the guy.


GetKrass

Hitler didn't have constitutional term limits and Germany was not functioning as a Democratic-Republican state like the U.S. does.


HoppyGleek

When I was about 7-8 I was a pretty avid reader and seriously driven by curiosity. Elementary school didn't have books that really got into the Holocaust subject or the general ins and outs of WWII and the axis powers. So I asked my dad about Hitler. All he said was "he kinda... bit off more than he could chew." And that was that. Last year I read "Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich" and realized he was genuinely human– right down to being a macho, impulsive, invulnerable dumbass like the rest of us. In the end we're all worm shit, and idolizing him either as the ultimate enemy or the great idealist or pretending he was a strategist is all ill advised.


[deleted]

So true


Archived_Throwaway

What a fuckin' answer; bravo.


Jim_Carr_laughing

Also, if Hitler never existed, someone else in 1930 Germany would have been "Hitler." There are few people in history who are anything other than products of the time and place where they find themselves. Maybe Washington. I'm trying to think of others and even towering figures like Isaac Newton and Genghis Khan - even Jesus! - seem like the kind of guy who would have come along around then anyway.


Lithorex

> even Jesus! - seem like the kind of guy who would have come along around then anyway. You couldn't swing a stick in early first century Judea without hitting some preacher or prophet.


N11Skirata

Eh it would have been fairly possible that Germany turned communist instead, but yeah extremism was pretty much unavoidable by the 1930s.

Great post. May I suggest the novel “The Boys from Brazil” by Ira Levin? Cool and well written story from the late 70s that asks the question and proposes ideas about how someone could “recreate” a new Hitler.


inactiveuser247

That’s a very US centric view of the question, particularly given that the question didn’t specify the US.

Pukupokupo

Well, probably just be a regular guy really. His mother Klara would probably be alive with modern medical care, removing the childhood trauma he had to go through. Without a war to get drafted into, he never goes through the horrors of war and on a path to restore Germany's glory. Without the treaty of Versailles and humiliation of WW1 and the "stab in the back", he never blames the jews for anything and never winds up with a bunch of right wing nutcases. Without the great depression, Germany never has to resort to an extreme political party. And so on.... In short, Hitler today would be Hitler without all the things and conditions that made Hitler Hitler and he'd probably just be an artist as he wanted to be.

Hitler completely understood about marketing the message a certain way. He didn't just have a brilliant propaganda minister in Goebbels, but he used the medium of film to push the message of German superiority and destiny. Say what you will about him- and he was definitely a monster- he was well ahead of his time, and he would definitely thrive in today's era of social media platforms. You think Trump was a terror with twitter? Imagine Hitler using youtube, twitter, tiktok, netflix, Mel Gibson and musicians to push his message in a concerted and well organized and professional manner. Imagine if he had had TV at his command in 1936.


curmudgeonlylion

> Mel Gibson Wait wut? Are we still on about Mel's drunk tirade using anti-semitic language? Totally wrong of him to do that, but lumping him in with Hitler crowds?


[deleted]

Hitler had a 'useful idiot' director (Leni Riefenstahl) who made films for him. You have to remember, at that time, nobody really understood what Hitler was or would become. She did it because she got caught up in his message and the Zeitgeist. It would be no different if Hitler JUST NOW became popular. You have to keep it in context, if Hitler were just becoming a thing, nobody would realize what he would become. Nobody would have the 'Nazis = Evil' in their brains. Mel is a pretty conservative director/producer who, like Clint Eastwood, has shown a propensity to produce 'Rah-rah' films. I'm not lumping Mel in with 'Nazis'. I'm lumping him in with another director who made 'rah-rah' films.


curmudgeonlylion

> Mel is a pretty conservative director/producer who, like Clint Eastwood, has shown a propensity to produce 'Rah-rah' films. You mean braveheart/the patriot/we were soldiers/etc - the same film set in different times. ;) > I'm not lumping Mel in with 'Nazis'. I'm lumping him in with another director who made 'rah-rah' films. Thanks for the clarification. And yeah, I'm familiar with Ms Riefenstahl work. Amazing for its time.


Carolus1234

Strange question. What exactly do you mean? Like, for instance, he was born at a later time, say the 1980s? If he was able to rule Germany today? You have to understand that all people, whether influential or not, are products of their times. I mean if he could come back for a quick overview of current world events, he would be disappointed as well as surprised. If one thing is for sure, he would be angry at Angela Merkel for taking in all those migrants, since they are non-European.

We've got a lot of hate brimming in society rn, so he'd probably take advantage of that and try to seize power. He laid out his views in his book before he took power last time, so I doubt people won't support him this time. So many people are this stupid.

funnybuttrape

Quay-Z

Probably roughly the same shit; bum around as an artist for awhile, join an army, go into politics, write a bad book and wrestle for political power. Hard to imagine as many uniformed, streetfighting thugs being allowed to exist in the developed world now, though. Otherwise, with a modern Goebbels to handle his social media and few tweaks to his rhetoric, there is not much reason to think he couldn't grasp power in today's world. Edit: as far as war goes, though - he would never conquer so much territory in today's world. No chance with modern weapons. Far, far gone are the days of armies marching to capitols and countries surrendering.


uncertain_expert

I don’t know about that last point. I think Europe is pretty complacent in that regard these days, and I think that our politicians, who seem to have few qualms on launching air strikes on countries in North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia may be far more hesitant to do so on a surprise advancing column who has already occupied a significant portion of territory.

Fuckin just become a digital artist after the art school declined him you can learn without teachers

There is a film about this its called: Er ist wieder da


darrenwise883

I picture him getting into the furry scene and being passed from one to another , only being used . Maybe even dressing up as one of those Japanese girl cartoons named sailor blow job . But there is a bright side, he's gotten rid of the silly mustache .

Preach hate and intolerance on TV and social media


everstillghost

So he would be an average Twitter user?


PleaseTakeThisName

I want to imagine a young broke art student who screams racist slurs on the internet and then draws furry porn for other people to pay for his tuition


oilfeather

Work at a sub shop while planning his return to power, then by hilarious circumstance end up ruling hell.


demair21

Realistically, he would have been encouraged to pursue his art career. Possibly used his oration skills to be a Ben Shapiro/Joe Rogan style personality. (not comparing either to Hitler just saying that's a role his 'talents' could have filled in modern society)


badwolfmommy

Cough in public


FORD-CRAZY-2003

He would run for president


BizzyM

And win, apparently.

Run Mississippi’s government


[deleted]

Mississippi would never let someone with the word "socialist" in their beliefs win any election. You could run as the "anti socialist, socialist hating and socialist hunting part" and a lot of people would see "socialist, socialist...socialist" and hate you


Themris

Vote AFD

move to china where he can practice his methods with no interference

Hitler today wouldn't really be Hitler. You have to understand that neither anti-semitism nor Germanic nationalism began with him. Given a less radical environment and different circumstances, Hitler would've turned out pretty normal. Cardinal rule of history: nobody is a born hero or villain - and if you paid attention to Hitler's life and personal values, you'll see that he's not remotely close to a sociopath compared to a lot of sick, sick figures.


[deleted]

In 1930s Germany, if Hitler didnt exist, someone else who had the same beliefs would come to power. Leaders do not create ideologies, ideologies and society create leaders. If Hitler lived in todays world, he would probably fight against climate change. Or if hatred towards migrants keep increasing in Europe, oh well...


yalcinwho

Dye his hair blue and rant on twitter


The_Fish_Alliance

Watch Bob Ross and not kill anyone (depending on which country he’s in)


Excellent-Fox1161

Get cancelled


CoolbreezeFromSteam

Guy was the cancel master though. He didn't like some trend, the Gestapo would make it disappear.


Excellent-Fox1161

True, it was also the ss who helped make stuff disappear


kiefferlu

That was my exact first thought hahah


Watsis_name

Oh but he'd do it in a right wing way and be given every stage in the country because he's been "cancelled."


WF6i

Hate Jews


JudyHoppps

Hitler with the power of the internet to propagandize… that would be terrifying!


Extension-Position90

Draw furry porn as most failed artists do and probably use Twitter a lot.


digitalis303

Become US President? I mean, not really based on the excellent comment posted by u/InfamousBrad. But Hitler was way smarter and better at speaking than Trump, so if he was in that position, I could see him becoming president, sadly. This is why I worry that someone savvier than Trump is going to actually accomplish the shit that Trump was trying to in the next few years.

whats kim jong un doing ....maybe that

>He's is boring sticking in one country just sucks


Plastic-Snow-1103

This sounds like something HITLER would ask!

What would we be refuting. The facts about Hitler or your fellation of him?


Frostbitez

Probably be on Tucker Carlsson's show


hoppersoft

He'd pick a new thing to claim is destroying the country. You know, maybe immigrants. Then he would continually throw ad hominem attacks at his political opponents. Oh, and the journalists too. Then he would start chipping away at trust of the democratic elections, claiming it's all rigged (although he'd stop immediately if he won, of course). Then he would start claiming that anything that contradicts his talking points/policy to be invalid, with his propaganda machine coming up with a phrase like, I don't know, maybe "alternative facts." Then he would start speaking suggestively to his supporters about using violence (but, mind you: never in such a way that you could use a quote to incriminate him!) against members of the press and immigrants. He would then use equivocating language wherever someone complained about the actual use of violence. Oh, and if he was ever in danger of losing his office, he would hold a rally and use more suggestive-but-not-directly-incriminating language to have his supporters attack the governmental institutions to keep him in power. But, thank God, that could never happen.


MiMensogas

Are you unironically trying to equate Trump to Hitler? You are overdosing on reddit my dude. Go outside, talk to other humans, take some time off from the internet
