    I have no love for either of those two gentlemen, but there’s just one thing I’ll give Adolf over Josef: In a rare display of civic-mindedness, at least Hitler offed himself.

      Stalin was the lesser evil of the two, if only because Hitler really put maximum effort into being the shittiest ideologue of industrialized genocide he could be; but in a just world, both would have swung at the gallows.

        Eh, that’s like debating the exact shade or viscosity of the shit somebody has made a smoothie out of and is forcing you to drink: The differences may exist, but from the perspective of the would-be shit-gulper they are at best highly academic and more likely offensively irrelevant.

        What I’m trying to say is: No need to make a competition out of the ultimate race to the bottom of the barrel. May they both burn for eternity, each for their own unique reasons. Hopefully, they’ll soon be joined by more contemporary despots seeking to emulate them, albeit comparatively amateurishly.
