What would you do if you found out...

that one of your close friends supports Hitler? I just found out today. She said she doesn't agree with the killing but she likes how he came from nothing and became something. I told her the reason he become something is because he became a racist bigot that brain washed his whole country in order to kill all jews and anyone else who didn't fit his ideal image of a human being. Then broke off the friendship. How would you handle a situation like this?

My 9th grade German teacher thought Hitler had a lot of great ideas, he just went a little too far.

Seriously, Hitler had a lot of luck help him out, as well as a knack for knowing when to get really ruthless. He did manage to go from spectacular failure to being beloved by millions of people despite even more not liking him, but preferring him to the alternatives available.

Once he achieved all the power he could ever really want, he just kind of thought he could keep it going based on his luck, and that people would just see whatever he saw as reasonable and sane, and both things ran out on him.

I can certainly admire the mans fortune and ability to achieve what he did with totally disagreeing with everything he stood for. Ghengis Khan was not a person to be liked or admired in the strict sense of the word, but we remember who he was and what he accomplished to this day.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
