JFC...people obsessed with Hitler's genitalia are SO FUCKING WEIRD.
It's also just ...not super helpful. Because hidden JUST below the surface in all these things is an attempt to...explain Hitler.
Or, rather, to explain him in some unique way instead of just seeing him as a normal, awful human.

IDF sniper from Chicago who says he killed Gazan teenager just for trying to retrieve his brother's corpse: “They’re thinking, ‘Oh I don’t think [I’ll get shot] because I’m wearing civilian clothes and I am not carrying a weapon' and all that, but they were wrong. That’s what you have snipers for.”

A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it.
