What if you weren't a raging partisan hack? :p

More like, what if there was actually a human that was bi-partisan?

oh dear. I hope all parents have a filter to keep that from the eyes of their children.

What if gravity alternated every day, or if the electromagnetic spectrum would randomly mix itself up? My guess is a universe where Spaceman makes sense, time travel is possible, and Rolomather sticks to posting Youtube comments where he belongs...

How would history judge Hitler and the Nazi?

1. Hitler may not have gotten the support he did without a hate group.

2. He may have been treated as a liberator by most of Eastern Europe, giving him the forces to fight Stalin.

3. Britain and France may not have been so quick to condemn Hitler's actions if he was in some way nicer. Britain and maybe France possibly would have avoided war. (though they didn't know he was killing people at first, but if he went in as a liberator against communism they may have let it pass)
Otherwise, history would have played out the same but Hitler would have some more Eastern European manpower. He still would have lost, but may have held out longer and taken more territory, possibly causing the US to nuke Berlin or some other city.

Eh. You know Hitler didn't just go after the Jews, right?

Let's add...

Gays
Gypsies
Minorities
Sick/Handicapped/Infirm
Those deemed to be "non-Aryan" in general
Political Dissidents

...goes on and on.

I think that's a different thread ;)
In most things in life, balance and moderation are key.

If Hitler didn't have the holocaust then Stalin would be getting the pineapples in the movie Little Nicky.

People like him want social "freedom" at the expense of economic freedom. E.g. they would consider healthcare a social "right" and would be willing to detriment economic freedom to do it.
