Would you follow this Hitler?


Question is in the title. The Hitler as he was portrayed in the media, not privy to any of the private conversations (such as the Jewish one), and only his speeches about problems and how things need to change... would you support him?

Why or why not?

My political beliefs have some common ground with certain far right ideologies (I believe that different ethnic groups should have their own "homeland" nation, although other ethnicities should be allowed to live in the countries, yet under the condition that they do not end up becoming the new majority themselves, overtaking the other population, for the sake of national/ethnic stability), yet I could never support the Anti-Jewish (I'm distantly Jewish, yet I still would care) and genocidal sentiments advocated by the Nazis. Hitler is tainted by association, so of course I wouldn't follow someone who (despite being the real one, in fact) looked like him, and spoke very charismatically, even mentioning issues I feel strongly about.

At least this nightmarish scenario is just the subject of a book and movie. We will thankfully never encounter the literal Adolf Hitler himself, in person, again.

Your beliefs would lead to the extreme of genocide. Nobody wants to kill hundreds of thousands of people but this idea of persecuting ethnical minorities so they don't "steal" your country would degenerate on concentration camps and mass killings because people wouldn't comply with this kind of belief just because you suffer from low self-esteem and need other people to blame from your failures motivated by an irrational fear of having your sterile lifestyle changed. So, on short, you think like any neonazi out there and you would be responsible for another "necessary" genocide.

As others have stated, no one wants to be associated with a Hitler figure. But the question remains, would I follow this specific person because of the specific views outlined, to which I would answer yes.

It's no surprise that the immense influx of Muslim refugees has caused serious problems. As the previous commenter has stated, it is essential for a countries own citizens to remain the majority, in order to keep it's nationality, ethnicity, culture, values etc... I certainly disagree with the EU's acceptance for these millions of immigrants. That being said I do believe foreigners should be allowed to live in EU countries, however the borders should be hugely monitored.

The problem is, outlining the obvious Muslim refugee problem is now deemed xenophobic and islamophobic. Everyone should be afraid of Islam. I mean, this is a religion that covers their women in dark cloaks in the scorching sun. A religion that throws homosexuals from rooftops, a religion that calls for the beheadings of non-believers, a religion that amputates a thiefs right hand, a religion that stones rape victims and actively practices honour killings. I just cannot comprehend how Western liberals are supporting such regressive and barbaric practices. And then the old' "not every muslim" excuse is thrown into the bag, but these same people have never read the Quran. They don't realize that all I've stated above is uttered by Mohammed.

How many more mass-rapes is it going to take? How many more mass shootings, bombings, truck-ploughings is it going to take for people to wake up and realize globalization is simply not working?
