That’s probably going to shock you because you think I’m just memeing here or doing like shock, you know, oh, I title card baiting. But no in reality. And we have another episode on this.

Real fascism has never been tried. But I point out that what fascism actually was, was just what today we call socialism. Yeah. And that they, the, the socialists and leftists who ran the university system sort fully had to rewrite history and create this alternate government type that somehow just doesn’t exist in the world today and only existed during this one little window because we all agree that the fascist governments were bad and they don’t want us to realize that these were just socialist governments.

But the secondary thing. Is you will get individuals like Nick Fuentes and kids who grow up brainwashed on this in believing this. Right. And so then they’ll say things like, Nick Fuentes will, like, oh, Hitler may have been a bit of a pedo and he may have been a bit pagan, but like he would a cool, we’ll get into it.

Simone Collins: Okay.

Speaker: Himler [00:01:00] was a pedophile and kind of a pagan, it’s like, well, he was also really cool. So, you know, time to grow up. We’re not, we’re not children anymore. Am I right? Am I right? Am I right boys? Am I right? Let’s go.

Malcolm Collins: And I have to take a step back here and be like. What a cuck you are. Nick Hitler was the biggest, hipster, socialist art student you have ever seen in your life when you read the actual history of Hitler’s life. Hitler, if he was living today before his rise to power would have a blue hair, a handlebar mustache, and be serving you macchiatos at Starbucks.

While he talked about how much he hated the Jews, which by the way, the socialists still do. Oh yeah. And have done from beginning things

Simone Collins: just never go outta style, which

Malcolm Collins: we know what I mean. We point out, you know, the early communist leaders all [00:02:00] hated the Jews. Marks hated the Jews. Y you know, all, all these early people, none of the early, like American founding fathers hated the Jews.

You know, as we point out, Jews could vote in twice of the, the states that Catholics could vote in, in the, in the in the colony period. Like, nobody, the people who have always had a problem with the Jews. We’re the socialist and communist. And we, we do that through line there. But as I go through Hitler, to anyone who has accidentally been brainwashed into having an ounce of respect for this man, because you believed the progressive lies about who he is, this will completely transform your perception of him.

Simone Collins: Oh boy. I’m excited for this. ‘cause, yeah, I don’t know. I haven’t invested that much time in learning about. Adolf Hitler. Okay. Yeah.

Malcolm Collins: So who was Hitler?

Simone Collins: Hmm.

Malcolm Collins: Hitler’s academics were poor. He flunked out of secondary school, RHA and Lynns, and later in Steyer lacking the credentials for higher pursuits. Mm-hmm. And Mein Koff, he [00:03:00] specifically blamed this on his tyrannical father s Hitler, who insisted on a practical career like a civil servant rather than art.

Cool. Hitler didn’t like this. He claimed that he underperformed intentionally as a rebellious choice uh, to force his father to relent, describing the clash of wills where his passion for freedom and independence triumphs over paternal oppression. So in Minkoff, if you, if you look at Hitler’s life, right?

He failed at everything he did in the early days. He said, I didn’t really fail. I just wasn’t applying myself because I wanted to be an artist. Mm-hmm. I wanted to be more free. Mm-hmm. I’m terrible because of my controlling father who had too many rules. Mm-hmm. First of all, does this sound like a conservative guy to you?

Does this sound like a conservative icon to you? This is a guy who complained about all the rules and just wanted to be an artist. Mm. So what did he [00:04:00] do? So, his father dies. Okay. And he basically runs off with his inheritance. Right. So he ends up dropping outta school. And then he moves to Vienna, which was like the moving to Manhattan of the time in 1907.

Oh yeah. Oh my gosh.

Simone Collins: Yeah. Vienna. Very much hipster Paradise. Yeah, paradise. I was moving in

Malcolm Collins: San Francisco or moving to Manhattan of the time period,

Simone Collins: or Austin these days. I don’t know. Yeah.

Malcolm Collins: With dreams of becoming. A painter. He applied to the prestigious Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, but was rejected twice.

First in 1907 for unfitness of painting. And again in 1908 where examiners noted his drawings lacked talent and artistic painting and suggested an architecture instead.

Simone Collins: There’s gotta be a. Market for Hitler’s paintings. Right. I know there was a, there is, and we’ll go. His diaries were famously forged by someone, but,

Malcolm Collins: but wait, like, like to, to understand the, all of the beginnings of Hitler’s life.

Mm-hmm. It was basically a bunch of people saying you should get a practical stem-like degree. And him [00:05:00] saying. I want to get a degree in the odds. I want to be an artist.

And they’re like, well, his dad was first like, well, why, why don’t you become a civil servant? They make real money. You can make things work.

No, dad, I’m gonna flunk out of school. Just despite you. He said with his that the, that era’s version of a handlebar mustache, his little hipster thing. You note that like. This was not a normal thing of the time period. We’ll get into where it came from. His, his mustache was literally that generation’s version of a hipster’s, handlebar mustache.

And and require an

Simone Collins: extra level of maintenance. Yeah. This isn’t like the low maintenance beard. This is something he Yeah. And

Malcolm Collins: people will know, by the way, which is actually really hilarious. They’ll be like, oh, Hiller was never actually a hardcore socialist, even though he repeatedly said it. And he said that that was one of the, the National

Simone Collins: So
