EVEN IF there wasn't a moral dimension. EVEN IF you can pretend the holocaust would never have happened... EVEN IF all the counter history shit Nazi apologists believe is and was true?
Hitler had a treaty with Stalin. Which he broke and invaded Russia - somewhat disastrously. That is 'the kind of guy he was'. If we had accepted Hitler's offer of neutrality... we would NOT be in 'a better position now'.
We might have been in a better position than we were at Dunkirk when the other shoe dropped... and it would have dropped.
Here's 'the thing' about the Nazis. The success of one country's nationalism could only come from the systematic pillage of neighbouring countries and the use of slave labor. Extreme nationalism burns up your country and guarantees your end in gotterdammerung. That's how it always would have ended - in fire and blood and ruin.
Even if there wasn't a moral; dimension, there is no happy Nazi ending where everyone sings springtime for Hitler. There's a reason they had skulls on their uniforms.
But hey. This guy is a real candidate for Reform, not just a thought experiment or an alternative history. Extreme Nationalism fucks EVERYONE over and then runs screaming off the top of the building with its pants on fire. They are all Denethor.
Delusional fuckwits who have stared too long into the palantir.
