Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Which shows how much they don't know about history. Given that Weidel talked about rather fictious versions of schools in Germany, I'd say that she did not spend enough time to learn anything worthwhile in there.

Why do they lie in a way that makes their hero be on the opposite side as them?

Hitler scares right wingers because he turned the colonialism that Western Europe plundered and looted the rest of the world towards Western Europe itself. Lebensraum was settler-colonial, after all. However, right wingers are fascinated by such an idea and wish to replicate it on their terms.

Amazing how they are revising history. So was Hitler good or bad? I thought they are staunchly against communism?

Talk about misinformation: Wired purposefully didn't cite actual statement which was: “The biggest success after that terrible era in our history was to label Adolf Hitler as right and conservative. He was exactly the opposite. He wasn’t a conservative. He wasn’t a libertarian. He was a communist socialist guy,”

With the context it reads more like communist-like person, not literal communist.

But the context be damned, we hate Elon and Wired confirms our bias so we eat misinformation like it's a gospel written by God himself

You're overreacting too far the other way. Sure they're not saying he was a duck, they're saying he was a goose, but for many practical purposes, those two things are the same.

Furthermore, they said what they said in the way that they said it to foment precisely this sort of confusion (or because they're equally confused. Take your pick.). Did they go on to explicitly say "not an actual communist, but a bit like one"?
