Good Intentions, -i guess about hitler- Options

[sadolakced acid]

a debate spawned in lounge.

hitler's intentions - were they good?

and also

what do good intentions count for.



alright: my post about hitler.

hitler was trying to boost the economy of germany. war is good for economy. of course, taking over europe is good too.

Hitler's intentions were not to wipe out the jews. it was just politically convenient to blame them for gemany's problems. They had no one to really stand up for them. easy targets, minorities.

hitler had good intentions- to restore germany to it's former glory. germany was great before WWI, but when they lost the british and the french and the americans (but mostly the french) taxed the germans soo much their economy was going to bomb.

hitler had good intentions- but he useed bad ways to furfill them. blaming jews, trying to take over europe, etc.

but he still had good intentions.

which brings us to good intentions- good intentions are never enough. good actions are needed.

how is war good for economy? it was the war in the first place that made germany's economy go to ruins. germany owed Britain and France a whole lot of moola to compensate for damages under the treaty of versailles. It was the depression that provided the conditions for hitler's rise to power (he and his Nazi party claimed they had solutions to bring Germany out of the depression.)

the Jews were not to blame for Germany's economic problems, that's not even relevant to why hitler killed them. what reasons did he have to blame the Jews? he was a smart man, he wouldn't randomly point fingers just because it was "politically convenient". He rid of the economic problems basically the moment he stepped into power, by violating the treaty of versailles and cancelling his reparation payments. he also gave people employment by spending tremendous amounts of money on things like transportation routes in the country. at the same time though, he abolished all the other political parties so tha t they would be in absolute power. If his intentions really were to improve the economy, you'd think he woulda stopped right there, eh?

His party was clearly, deeply racist and they believed that Germans were superior. he also targeted communists, homosexuals and mentally disabled people. How's that good intentions for ya?
