Would it be safe to say that everybody hates Hitler?
Happy Easter!
Today is 4/20, which means different things to different people.
The movie Unbreakable wasn't very good. The movie did what few movies do, and that's leave me with a thought that consciously influences future thoughts. The idea that if one end of the spectrum exists, so does the other, as well as every thing in between. This isn't to say that all those must exist and that I will experience them in a small period of time (or even at all). Mr. Glass had a quest to discover his polar opposite and he did, and only through vigorous search.
Easter and April 20th are dates where thoughts are influenced by said movie. Understand that to some people, they fall on their knees and pray so hard; their faith strengthening their lives wholly and to them, it is a graceful and meaningful livestyle, where Easter is the most holy of holy days.
The headlining question is something I asked my brother a long time ago. He responded saying that a lot of people don't like him. But people followed him for a reason. He was leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazi party) and he must have had a lot of followers. He may have done some excellent political things (according to some people). Of course, this is not to say the genocide of over 10 million Jews is tolerable or acceptable. However, perhaps there are some subset of people nowadays who respect and honor him, today on April 20th, not in a "I'm a goth kid and I like idolizing evil people because it's cool" but in an honest historian fascination sort of way.
I found out someone was born on April 20th, 1999, which is relatively equivalent to being born on September 11, 2001.
