I’m 65 and want to make it clear to younger people that antisemitism was never a part of 70’s playground banter.
For our parents generation WW2 and cruelty of the Nazis was still fresh in their minds. Farage’s claims that it was is utter bullshit! He is a Nazi!

The documentary failed to point any of this out. That’s a serious omission
HOWEVER, I have serious concerns about the speculation, based on polygenic risk score analysis about any pronouncement of psychiatric disorders. This technique is not part of diagnosis, nor can it be.

Correct 👇🏽
We cannot know this for sure though. We also cannot make any meaningful connection between this possibility and his behaviour. Any attempts to do so are unevidenced speculation.

Obviously a question that needed asking 🤢
Did Hitler really have a ‘micropenis’? The dubious documentary analysing the dictator’s DNA

Was the wartime chant about his solitary testicle correct? Did he have Jewish ancestry? New documentary Hitler’s DNA is trying to answer these, and more contentious, questions – but should it have gone there at all?

The TLDR on the "Hitler DNA" story, as with most new Hitler stories, is that we don't really have any new or earth shattering information about the guy. He definitely had Parkinsons. He may have had an undescended testicle. none that changes what we know about the guy.

You make an important point
We are still waiting for a political figure to seriously challenge the premise on which this “question” is set. Framing groups of people as questions invites “solutions” which disregard humanity.
