It’s not a moral distinction, it’s just one in fact. Some people can just be arseholes and like to be offensive for the sake of it.

Some people genuinely buy into certain beliefs about racial superiority. Hitler wasn’t trolling, he genuinely bought into the idea of racial hygiene - and that because Jews are an amalgam race that formed from religion, he saw racial impurity and infection (medicalised terms) and that the Aryans were the only race that had not allowed itself to be polluted by miscegenation.

Does this guy genuinely think himself superior to people of different skin colour, or like with the conspiracy tropes is it just a way of getting a reaction from people?

Hitler was a politician. Enough said. No different to the rest of them. He said whatever it took to maintain power, and he did the same. He's earmarked because we fought him in a war. Otherwise he'd just be Saddam Hussein - before we fought him in a war. Our man in Germany. When he failed to become our man then he was Godwin's Law. ALL politicians see themselves as superior. They make decisions and then pass those decision upon living, breathing, human beings. As if they have the first fucking clue about the people they are passing their self-serving laws upon. It's all a scam and has always been a scam. The King is dead, long live the King in a different cloak. Cast your vote for whoever is already decided. Then piss off for 5 years and if we end up gassing 6 million Jews or vaporising 2 million Iraqis then see you in 5 years. Nothing wrong with Hitler, as far as politicians go. He was mainstream. American, British and Dutch banks loved him. Time Magazine fawned over him. Swell guy and all that, especially if you were part of the eugenics movement that was founded in America. Well, then the dude went a bit too far. Now he's Michael Myers. Cautionary tales.
