You know, I just realized I don't think I'd ever seen a picture of Hitler smiling.

So I looked it up. And there are plenty of them. And he looks...nice. Like, it's weird. He looks like the fun uncle. He looks like there should be a mockumentary of him where he's played by Steve Carell.

One of the big things they taught us in history lessons was how he came across very charismatic and that he was good at winning people over.

It's really important for people to understand and learn in order to not repeat the mistakes of populism, evil people don't generally go around shouting about how evil they are.

there should be a mockumentary of him where he's played by Steve Carell.

There's one with Charlie Chaplin
