Was he a tragic hero?

>> No.16088263

the 3rd reich was definitely a real life tragicomedy par excellence. i really do wonder if humanity will fall so far as to be totally unable to appreciate its real life wagnerian tragic heroism within a few generations, or if a truly patrician elite might regain the reins of our destiny again soon.

In order to be a tragic hero, he would have to have been a hero, which he wasn't. So simply a tragic character. More comparable to a plague than a hero.

the jewish position is actually that he was half-white, having a roman centurion for a father

WWII literally was just an extension of WWI though with a cool ideology paintjob. In the future, it will be considered one war like the Peloponnesian War most likely

when he wasnt talking about the jews he was pretty based but I think he was just telling crowds what they wanted to hear. I think hitler would have been fine if he hadnt invaded poland and instead just kept to the land germany owned pre ww1.

even if he had good intentions it doesnt excuse him starting a secret police, betraying his allys and segregating jews and other minorities.

It's hard not to romanticize extreme nationalism or National Socialism if you are aware of the JQ and other ills facing modern western politics. I tend to agree with his ideology, though it could have been executed differently.

Yes. He was the only hero the world has seen in the last 90 years
