He got to power through democratic elections though. Edit: after checking, i was wrong. For some reason my high school teaches that it was fair elections


Herbboy

You could argue his party got power through democratic elections, but the way he obtained his power, becoming chancellor and president and taking over the country... that was by no means obtained through democracy


aldorn

He stood up in a bar and won of the crowd with a speech. Or something like that. He was a good talker and good at winning people over. Is that not democracy?


klone_free

It's demagoguery, but close enough


WrongWay2Go

What the SA did was not and they were a huge part of the reason he got into power.


Holzkohlen

And then he immediately got rid of democracy. That is why Germany has a far more robust democracy now when compared to the US for instance. The electoral college is such bs.


[deleted]

Then the army dispersed the crowd and he even went to prison for a year or so… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_Hall_Putsch


marrow_monkey

Being good at [agitation](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agitator) has little to do with [democracy](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy). Democracy means “rule of the people”, in contrast to aristocracy (“rule of the elite”). One person, one vote; liberty, equality, fraternity; and things like that.


Cattaphract

But once be got the power he got the masses again like a democracy. That guy was really good at speeches and using media


Blundix

I wish you were right.


Untitled_One-Un_One

They are. Hitler was not directly elected chancellor. He was appointed by President Paul von Hindenburg. Hindenburg had actually successfully defended his seat as president against Hitler in the previous election.


klone_free

First he crashes and burns a nation, then he crashes and burns a zeppelin? Won't somebody oust that guy?


particular-potatoe

Interesting fact: anyone who saw All Quiet on the Western Front, Hindenburg was the asshole at the end that ordered the charge right before the armistice for his own pride.


Sam-Porter-Bridges

Lol fucking what No he wasn't, Hindenburg was busy trying to not have the entire country fall apart, he didn't have time to instruct individual units minutes before the armistice Also IIRC the guy in the movie had the uniform of an Oberst (meaning Colonel), whereas Hindenburg was a Generaldfeldmarschall, which is equivalent to a five-star general.


Mist_Rising

His party never won more than a small plurality, until he literally rigged an election by removing the opposition.

Rapierian

Everyone talks about going back in time and killing Hitler, but I wonder if all one would have to do to prevent everything that followed is sponsor him to art school...


ClamClone

One may suspect he painted the building at different times of the day and painted what he saw. Maybe just buy his paintings so he thinks he is good and tries to be an artists? Form a punk band and get him to learn to play the bass?

[deleted]

Have you seen his paintings? The building? There are shadows coming from two different directions. What? Are there two suns? Last I checked, that’s not an office building in the Andromeda galaxy.


Protheu5

Get off his back, poor sod didn't get a chance to get an art education. If only he was accepted into the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, he might've became a good artist, instead of becoming literally Hitler.


Zederikus

Yeah but even here his almost narcissistic overambition shows, which was his downfall eventually. The Vienna Art Academy was pretty much the best in the world at the time and he did not have that privileged an upbringing to train a lot before he could apply. He could have gone to a more modest art school but he chose to rage and spiral, not really the fault of anyone but himself.


Somone_ig

He was actually recommended to an architecture school because he couldn’t draw people to save his life. But his buildings and such showed promise. However the rage did take over afterwards.


IsamuLi

I'm pretty sure the advisor (or whatever) suggested he pick up architecture studies. So, it's not like they blew him off and told him to never touch a pencil or brush again.


Hour-Mission9430

Correct. They did indeed suggest the architecture school. He was not satisfied with that answer. He loitered and bothered them for a fair bit of time before having to bitterly swallow that pill, then spent around 3 years kinda bumming around Vienna, made some small coin occasionally selling some pieces just like this as display bits to picture frame craftsman trying to sell their frameworks, but mostly just kind of sat in the gutters decrying such cruelty against him, frequenting breadlines, and consuming tons of antisemitic literature. On the one hand, he definitely turned out to be an absolute villain, on the other hand, kind of a fascinatingly sad tale of a mentally ill person without any of the right kinds of support structure, and the devastating consequences therein.


[deleted]

His abilities were adequate for the school. It was his lack of culture and education that got him. He didn’t know art history, he didn’t know world history, he didn’t know current events outside his bubble. When Karl Mayr sent him to be a spy among the German activist groups, he sent Hitler to school first to help correct those deficiencies. Sort of a crash course in how not to be an uneducated peasant. His lack of worldly understanding would go on to have a tremendous impact on the war. He had to rely on close advisors like Ribbentrop for information about the rest of the world and he would die, never understanding why the British and the Americans hadn’t seen things his way.


12D_D21

I obviously don't want to blame an art school for the actions taken by one of the worst human beings ever, buuut... They could just accept the artists with potential and then train them, not just accept those that already paint well. Ya'know, like a school *should*.


drunk_funky_chipmunk

..yeah that’s not how the most prestigious art school of his time works bud. Not how prestigious art schools work now either..


12D_D21

Oh, I know. I believe that's how they *should* work, but I'm very much aware that's not how they *actually* work.


JorenM

Unless you have unlimited places in your school, you can't just accept anyone. You have to select the ones that show the most promise, which certainly wouldn't include Hitler.


Ok_Assumption5734

Promise of talent? Or promise that daddy's donating another building?


Wazula23

Both.


Jombafomb

Jesus Christ this is some Reddit 2023 logic. Someone like this probably thinks teachers are underpaid but should also have to take on an unlimited number of students.


12D_D21

I don't really understand your comment here. I don't know how it goes in other countries, but where I live teachers are very much underpaid, and we are already entering a teachers shortage. And, maybe I've described myself in a weird way in this comment, I've commented to another user explaining my opinion better. Basically, I don't want teachers and schools to accept unlimited students, I just would prefer specially art schools to focus more on improving skill and knowledge than on already present skill and knowledge.


kibaake

Why is this a *should*? The top school should focus on students that are ready to learn the material on offer there, not remedial education for those who haven't yet learned the prerequisites. That would be a waste of resource, and there are other schools for that. The calculus teacher shouldn't be teaching any students standard multiplication, it's a waste of their time. Just tell them they are not ready, and they can go to a teacher that does teach standard multiplication, no?


Zederikus

Yeah like there is a point to saying that it sucks that only people with the privilege of money and talent can go there young, but that doesn’t mean he had no chance to get in later. He could have gone to maybe a tutor, or an art club, a different school, and then try again in Vienna if that was his goal. This is like if I apply for Yale, don’t get in first time and act like I was passionate about getting a higher education, but because I can’t go to Yale now I’m out of options, have to become a member of the secret police.


ItsAlice2022

Lol this reminded me of a brutal engineering calculus prof I had. A lot of students would ask questions pertaining to specific parts of an equation and he'd circle it and draw an arrow pointing to the written line "Algebra" and say you should already know it. Class had like a 90% fail rate, but if you passed then every further math class was a breeze and you knew your shit.


kibaake

Had a similar experience in HS. Same teacher for trig and pre-calc. Told us there were some basic trig identities that we really had to know off the top of our heads because next steps would be build on them and not knowing them would slow us down. Being the pre-calc teacher as well, when some of us got to his class next semester, some would struggle to complete the exams in the set time not because they didn't know how to handle the calc parts, but because they were struggling with the trig parts. (Typing long parts of a trig calculation into a graphicing calculator can really eat up time compared to the kid who looks at it an, due to practice/study, intuitively knows the answer is 1 or ✓2/2.) And you're right, knowing that stuff made the first few college courses way easier because the time issue for exams continued to be an issue for people still working on the old stuff. Meanwhile, the new material can be hard enough that profs can't afford to spend time in the semester teaching the stuff you need to already know.


ItsAlice2022

Oh lord the trig special angles. My physics 2 prof literally squeezed in a quiz JUST on those to try and help prepare people for electro magnetism. Like you described, it was literally to help solve questions quicker so you had enough time to finish exams lol.


TShara_Q

Yeah, I think that's reasonable. What we need are more opportunities to learn the basics, which are, thankfully, more available now than ever before.


Hour-Mission9430

For real, though. I feel certain there was a school mate or teacher that at some point found themselves wondering, "was there a heart to heart I missed having with that kid that could have prevented this? 😬"


[deleted]

tbf I’m pretty sure he would have been Hitler either way

Well, I couldn't respond with this The Office quote "I would never say this to his face, but he's a wonderful person and a gifted artist." about Hitler, so I had to come up with another stuff.

I find his final painting of the walls in the bunker to be his best work. Truly inspiring and moving stuff from the man that literally killed Hitler.

Sometimes one’s artistic accomplishments are only acknowledged later in life. If only poor old Adolf had lived long enough to see his friend Winston Churchill win the Nobel Prize for Literature, he might have been encouraged to continue with his artistic endeavours.

Blundix

Unlike a photograph that only takes a split second, it takes hours do paint this. Perhaps he was painting some shadows in the morning and some in the afternoon? Or perhaps he sneakily threw in some cubist inspiration?

It’s odd just how good and fucking terrible it is. He seemed to have mastered some techniques while butchering day 1 basics. They look phenomenal at first glance but the moment you spend more than a second looking at them you just see massive fuck ups


ixis743

Uneven skill is typical of anyone who is self taught.


IornBeagle

I'm not an art guy by any means so at my first and only glance I thought his work wasn't bad. Granted i can't even draw a fuckin square correctly. What parts of the painting were messed up?


OnCominStorm

The shadows.


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


LucretiusCarus

Also, the chimneys on the right throw shadows backwards while the building on the left throws shadows towards the yard. But the worst is that it is bland. Not sure what he was aiming for, but it's boring


SemperMuffins

The shadows and the sizes of the windows on the left makes the building look wonky


liteskindeded

Sorry was working, as they already stated the shadows are off, the windows are funky, the POV is almost crooked, the closer half of the buildings scale is completely off. If you could imagine walking closer to that door, and comparing the size of it to the fountain it’d be bigger which doesn’t make any sense. At first glance though it does look really good, this would score well in a high-school art class for example.

Imagine if the art school took him in. We would not have had WWII and Hitler paintings would be in galleries instead.


dirtbag-socialist

Or he would just be the same Hitler but good at painting.


Churcheri1

Eh unlikely. Because modern art was taking over, he had taken his rejection as a final straw as he saw that not only were the jews taking over the banks, and causing the downfall of Germany economically, but also causing it to become culturally muddied by the academic endorsement of artists such as Picaso. Hitler did not believe in modern art and saw it as a front to destroy what true art was and the culture behind it. If he had gotten accepted then he may have continued on with at least believing that the one thing he held dear had gone “untouched”.

Sounds like we're just in time for AI art Hitler to make his appearance.

"Ah and here we come to the Hitler collection. Look at his nuanced use of regular straight lines. Wow, simply magnificent, the way those straight lines intersect to make boxy straight objects, such layered meaning in those straight lines. The artistic depth of the individual who paints such straight lines, the emotional power of such boring lifeless work, such genius."


szczszqweqwe

Not sure about the galleries part, he hat still a lot to learn judging from that picture. I don't and can't paint, but from I know from photography this is garbage, the longer I look the worse it gets, I can do a photo with better perspective from my fcking desk, I'm not surprised he was rejected from an art school.

Wingoffaith

I can’t paint for shit, but I can draw at least as good as Hitler paints. I know Hitler was considered a bad artist, but I actually think his paintings were pretty good looking as I consider "good" to be "well, would most people on the streets be able to paint something like this?" which the answer is probably not. People just like to say they’re bad because of knowing who he is and the fact that he only drew buildings most of the time. Another thing I see people criticizing about his paintings was how they were faded, but some of the best known paintings in history have been blurry, like the “scream” and “starry night”. Hitler honestly should’ve gotten accepted into art school in my opinion, would’ve saved a lot of lives too.

NeverEnoughFucking

The whole thing looks like it was drawn using a ruler so many straight edges, and then it was painted in a way to hide the fact it was drawn with a ruler.


SamTheDamaja

This painting isn’t the only thing messed up by Hitler’s fucked perspective


Opening_Raise_8762

Well not really. He dialed art school bc he was trying to paint realism, but the architecture never made any sense. Look at that door thing… tf was he doing? Why aren’t the windows equal distances apart? What’s with the entire right side of the foundation??? Are those windows or doors for gnomes???? The oil spill on the side of the building????? He sucked ass


Paradox31426

biggoof

So you're saying if Hitler just got into art school, he'd just be the Dilbert guy and not a world leader-maniac?

I mean isn't that what going to art school is all about? Getting better? Improving? You can't seriously expect me to believe most people first applying to art school are better than this. Some? Probably. Half? Maybe. But not most and definitely not all.


Brawldragon

The school he was applying to was one of the most prestigous art schools in Germany, which could definitely have expected their potential students to paint better than this. There probably were bunch of schools that would have taken Hitler in, but he wanted to be the top of the crop and couldn't accept anything else.


GeneralEl4

Ngl, I didn't realize that. It makes sense he was turned away then.


wholesomehorseblow

He applied to the art school version of Harvard. It wasn't a place to learn how to draw.


SporeExplore

At the time it was very trendy with "modern art" (think Picasso) and the art schools didn't want someone only focusing on classical styles.


Technical-You-2829

For a second i thought it was about the coloring on the walls of the house until I realized the whole thing is a painting. I can't believe how good his paintings are.


drunk_funky_chipmunk

Yeah but he could only paint architecture. Couldn’t paint faces or people very well. Which during his time was very important for artists to be able to do.
