That's what fascism always is. Hitler's cabinet was full of drunks, addicts, incompetents, and genuine crazy people. People who think fascists were ever competent just fell for the marketing.

Yeah, if you look at how well Hitler took over Europe at first by just harnessing people’s dissatisfaction and listening to his generals, and then turned around and made dumb mistake after dumb mistake, it becomes obvious.

The more fascist you are, the dumber you get. The core of their philosophy is to use violence and brute force cause they believe that it always ends with the winners winning, and surely they were born a winner.

It’s circular logic, fake it till you make it works to get power but you need competence to actually keep it.

I blame the History Channel. It made the Nazis look competent and smart.

They’re always like “OMG look at this rocket plane!” without mentioning that it never saw combat but did chemically dissolve several pilots and ground crew.

dissolve several pilots and ground crew.

That only matters if you value life

Also ehat conservatism always is. Conservatism is universal, because its the fear of change and the desperate want to maintain control, which is always a losing enterprise. So they need to escalate violence and power grabs as it starts falling through their fingers faster and faster, and always ends in authoritarianism and eventually fascism once violent citizen militias are given state say and funding.

Too many Captain America comics.

Idk I think that's a point of Rogers fighting the Red Skull, isn't it? Hydra despises the main Nazis because they're just racist morons while they just want to do some super-science/technocrat fascism.

Plus no one actually read Captain America until the MCU.

But fuck they had cool outfits.

I think all Nazi memorabilia should be burned, except for those sweet Hugo Boss long coats the SS got.

Nah the outfits were cool. Just... Ruined by everything else they were doing
