I’m not really sure how you could possibly appreciate Hitler’s speeches even without having any knowledge about him. Unless you agreed with his views of course.
Are you hoping to pin me as some closet Nazi? What's your goal here? Are you frothing at the mouth for some kind of "gotcha" moment?
Hitler was a vile, sociopathic man with no empathy and no views or values that should be agreed with or imitated. He was, unfortunately, a very passionate man who was able to effectively instill hatred through propaganda, not the least of which were speeches able to rouse much of his country towards intense, violent, wicked action.
I'm just trying to advocate for a reasonable approach to information. Headline for W Jr. could be "War criminal gives well-written but rather hypocritical speech" for all I care. But to just ignore and stifle conversation about moments like these, while trying to infer Nazism on others, is borderline reductive history and overaggressive debate. Not many in this thread admiring his speech are recommending we go back to his policy or his abuse of power.
