lol .... far into the future ... Americans will remember famous quotes and lines from presidents like JFK, Eisenhower ... even Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton and Obama

... and all anyone will remember about this idiot is just how dumb and stupid he was and how dumb and stupid America was to put him and keep him in power.

    If you (time to gatekeep!) actually care about history during 20th century, you will rapidly realize that hitler and his cronies were all batshit insane lunatics.

    If you grew up on The History Channel you will think he was 'quirky" and spew bullshit like how Rommel was actually a very honorable man and blah blah blah.

    History isn't just written by the victors. But it sure as fuck tends to be presented by the assholes who deserve a lead pipe to the face.

    I mean... basically everyone was back then. Everyone knows the fun fact that Coca Cola used to contain cocaine. Fewer people think about the implications of that or how soda was generally sold at the pharmacy.

    But yeah. nazi leadership is generally accepted to have been on WAY more drugs than most of their contemporaries.

    I'm not sure if you're just trying to illustrate some point or intentionally trying to link Hitler and Coca-Cola. But Coke was down to trace amounts of cocaine by 1904 and none before 1930.

    Meth had recently been invented so lots of Germans were tweaking the fuck out, especially during the beginning. The blitzkrieg was literally a bunch of methed up Germans. Hitler had a quack who in addition to shooting him up with meth and other stims, was also loading him up with hormones extracted from bull testicles and other wacko shit like that.

    He was. A lot of others were, too, but he was an outlier even by 1940s srandards.

    LSD pills were as ubiquitous a Tylenol pills are today. Everyone was taking them.

    Heroin and morphine were quite common as painkillers, and Hitler did do them quite often.

    He did draw the line at tobbaco, though.

    I hope what everyone remembers of the USA as a whole is that we're the nation that let a bunch of rich pedophiles and Silicon Valley tech nerds take over a country, culminating with hundreds of billions of dollars spend to make a tool that slops out propaganda and algorithms that cultivate delusion. Raegan, Bill Clinton, Obama, Bush, Biden -- all deserve to be remembered in that light. Yes, even Obama and Biden, who made deals with Peter Theil and allowed bill corporations and tech-freaks like Mark Zuckerberg to grow unimpeded while selling all of our data and inciting genocide abroad.
