> But I made a mistake when I posted the column on Twitter and compared Lenin and Hitler. Here’s what I wrote: “In fact, while Hitler has become the great symbol of evil in history books, he too was less evil than Lenin because Hitler only targeted people he personally believed were harmful to society whereas Lenin targeted even those he himself didn’t believe were harmful in any way.”
This dumbass defended Hitler, saying Hitler was less evil than Lenin. Makes fuck-all difference how much truth there is to it. Don’t defend evil by claiming it’s less evil than some other evil.
Also, all that whining about “tolerance” makes the guy come off like just another right-wing extremist, as though his “story” is pure false-flag action.
