This is normally something I would post in Deep Thoughts, but that would attract all the worst spergs. Maybe I'll run into actual sense here. 
Sometimes it feels like KF is defined entirely by contrarianism to the Left. The left advocates a thing, therefore we must hate it. The left hates a thing, therefore we must love it.
I get that particularly with regards with how omnipresent Hitler is here. It feels like its just because the Left made a big deal in comparing everyone to him for the last ten years.
As a kid/teen, all I knew of Hitler was "he's a boss in Wolfenstein 3D and I shot him." I knew he was a historical figure and was the big bad of World War II, and even in early internet edgelords liked to compare everyone to him--back then there was an actual rule against it (Godwin's Law) which discouraged people from doing it.
Honestly, these days, if I had Godlike Powers, I would like to make everyone in the world forget about Hitler. Not change history or alter any historical records, just twelve hours from now everyone in the world would forget anything they know involving a man named Hitler or a group called Nazis.
Because I'm sick of hearing about them.
I mean, fundamentally, what makes them any different from any other tyrannical regime that thought mass violence was the way to fix humanity? Just that they're the most recent, from what I can tell (except Hitler's not even that).
So how come I don't see Kiwi spergs saying "praise be to Genghis Khan?" Oh, right, its because the Left doesn't like to compare everyone to Genghis Khan therefore he doesn't have the cool/edgy appeal that Hitler does.
And I mean, look at Hitler. That haircut, that moustache. Kings of the past wore colorful, flowing robes... Hitler dresses like his mom put his outfit together. Like, imagine if my magic spell of "nobody remembers this guy" went through--tomorrow, you'd see his picture and be like "he looks like a dork."
I tend to also feel this way about KF's Jew Hate. We hate Jews because they're the group Hitler targeted. If Hitler instead targeted Norwegians, we would have endless topics about how Norwegians are behind everything bad and are out to destroy society. If Hitler instead targeted space octopi, we would have endless topics about how space octopi control the deep state and are the ones trying to censor games on Steam.
Again tho... Hitler is just one more murderous dictator, astroturfed by circumstance.
Why don't we instead shine a light on people like Stalin, Pol Pot, or Kim Jong? They're otherwise not particularly special either, but at least one of those people is actually still alive, plus it would at least serve a practical consideration of highlighting that Communism/Socialism invariably leads to dictatorships. Which is useful in a day and age where every idiot teenager who doesn't want to get a job decides they're gonna support Communism.
