Summary

Today I'm doing a live watch-along of a YouTuber's so-called "unbiased" documentary on Hitler's early life. Together with the crew, I dive into his childhood while reacting in real time—sometimes laughing, sometimes shocked—as we explore whether it's even possible to look at such an infamous figure without bias. Along the way we go off on wild tangents about family trauma, time travel, beekeeping, propaganda and how history gets told.

Get on over here so you can watch along for an unbiased look at Adolf Hitler.

0:32.5

Have we gone so sleuthed and drenched in biases that we can't even take a good honest to God look at Hitler and his legacy without our minds being clouded by all of that extraneous info. This is like a friend of mine goes, I've been watching these documentaries, my mate, Joe. I've been watching these documentaries about Hitler. I was like, oh yeah, mate, yeah, I'm biased, look at him. Oh, yeah, I'm biased.

0:55.1

Because in a way, it's like when they were trying to find jurors for Donald Trump.

0:58.0

I was like, and they had to go, have you got an opinion on Donald Trump? I was like, well, of course everyone's got opinions. There's no one that's like, I am neutral on Donald Trump. I don't, I neither like him nor dislike him.

An unbiased look at Hitler seems to me to in itself be an interesting expedition to embark on. And I'll be embarking on it with my beloved friend, Jake Smith, Christian. Christian, don't forget it. We'll remind you. How could we? How could we forget it? How could we even for a second? Our beloved friend, Luke, Christian! Are you right there, Luke? Also Christian. You're great. Also Christian. Massey, atheist? Atheist. I think you're coming around, though. And of course, the person that's going to struggle most to look at Hitler from an unbiased perspective, if I might imagine, is Isaac, who is a member of the 12 tribes. How are you getting on, mate? Fuck that guy. No, he was all right. Now then, let's try our best. Let's put aside our prejudices like Hitler would have wanted and see just exactly what he was getting up to. I mean, I've only looked at a little bit of this and it's like sort of an English person going, now, Adolf Hitler was trying his best. I don't think he is unbiased. I think the person that made a documentary, I think the subtext is Hitler was a good guy. Now, given that on Facebook, we can't even put out geo-target advertising because we did some content on Kanye West Heil Hitler, upon which my general view was,

2:18.9

Kanye West as an artist,

2:20.1

is using the idea of Nazism just as an object to make art.

2:23.7

And the same way that, you know, the Sex Pistols wore swastikas and stuff.

2:27.2

I don't think they're like sort of devoutly into the views of the Nazis and stuff.

2:31.3

But anyway, people can have all sorts of conversations about this stuff.

2:33.8

Let's see if Adolf Hitler can still provoke interesting debate from beyond the grave

2:38.8

via the conduit of a YouTuber. We'll put the person who's made its details in the description so that he gets

2:46.1

proper credit for his unbiased look at Hitler. Let's all watch along together and see what it promotes and provokes.

2:53.7

I think what people are talking about in a way is like national socialism.

2:56.6

If you think the idea of national socialism, well, that means you put your country first.

Socialism in that instance, I reckon might mean look at regulate in the excesses of industry and ensuring that the general well-being of
