That's because Hitler rose to power it on the back of broken, violent WW1 veterans who literally knifed their way into power. We are being owned by yuppie Gen-X incel Nazis who think sex is gross but also want 700 kids because they imagine they're playing Crusader Kings with the gov't
100%. I never expected a fascist takeover to feel so lame. I expected villains to feel more like villains. Instead, they just seem like insecure little boys trying desperately to find validation. It’s almost painfully cringey. Still dangerous, but just oh so lame.
I feel like rise and fall of the third reich makes them feel like very embarrassing perverts. But that’s more a contemporary assessment so maybe that’s the key. You gotta witness it irl to appreciate the embarrassment.
ours are perhaps uniquely pathetic in that they don't even have an aesthetic. but look no further than the films made by allied nations in wwii for evidence that they have always been pretty ridiculous
