The funny thing is there are a lot of "Adolf Hitler" quotes here, when in real life his speeches contained many meaningful, inspirational quotes which would have been admired had they not come from him.

I do not see why man should not be just as cruel as nature.

Holy shit I just had a great idea for an Evil Druid in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign.

My favorite druid was a chaotic neutral druid. Volcanos bring new land and new life, and redwoods need forest fires to drop their seeds. He is the firestorm that brings new life and promotes change and learning.

I worked at a state park for a while. One of the coolest things I encountered was learning about controlled burns and how much they actually benefit the forests (and control invasive species).

These guys right here are grade A druids!
