Well Hitler was Jewish
- throwaway2048 6y agoNo, he wasn't
- stephenhuey 6y agoHe’s referring to the idea that Hitler may have been a quarter Jewish. Not sure where this study from 10 years ago ended up: https://www.history.com/news/study-suggests-adolf-hitler-had-jewish-and-african-ancestors https://www.history.com/news/study-suggests-adolf-hitler-had... There were a lot of articles about that and here’s a recent one: https://m.jpost.com/diaspora/study-suggests-adolf-hitler-was-a-quarter-jewish-597966 https://m.jpost.com/diaspora/study-suggests-adolf-hitler-was...
- throwaway2048 6y agoQuestionable evidence that his grandmother might have had an illegitimate child with a Jewish man is a long way from "Hitler was jewish" Not to mention this is standard ahistorical conspiracy theory fare.
- stephenhuey 6y agoIt’s fine to point out it’s questionable. Both of you were just throwing at one-liners with no substance like you’re fighting on a playground. I rarely downvote and thought about downvoting him but I decided to search to see what he might be talking about. You didn’t even look at my links, otherwise you would’ve known the first one was talking about a DNA study. Yes, as far as I can see it was very much up in the air, but I don’t think I should be downvoted for explaining what he was referring to.
- paulie_a 6y agoThank you, I read the links and yes my absolute assertion may be wrong.

- koheripbal 6y agoIt doesn't seem to be working. ...much like the Reddit guidelines.
- paulie_a 6y agoYes he was. He had an entire city destroyed to attempt to hide that historical fact.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agoIndeed, 'twas the city of Gralås, oft have I ambled it's cobbled streets in days gone by, smelling the sweet scent of the herb the soothsayers smoke thereon and listened to the ramblings of their visions. Once I loved a woman there, her skin was red as the fires of the volcano of Taris. Once I dueled with a man in the foggy morn at the royal park, I killed him, it was a fight over honor and I barely remember the particulars now. But all that is gone, destroyed years past, you sir, are a scholar of deep erudition to remember the name of Gralås in this degraded age.
- fortran77 6y agoSadly, I'd expect this from hacker news commenters.
- paulie_a 6y agoPosting facts? I guess if you don't praise the hot new startup from sv it's downvoted central.
- dang 6y agoHN gets millions of comments a year. You should expect to find all kinds of junk in any set of that size. The problem is that people (all of us) are more likely to notice and remember the things they dislike. That basically causes everyone's image of the community to turn into a reflection of their own dislikes—and the more strongly you dislike something, the more vivid the image will be. It's a serious problem and I don't know what to do about it. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20notice%20dislike&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... But it's definitely not the case that the HN readership generally supports a comment like the GP. Note that the comment was maximally downvoted.
