@chaosprime <+ Fascism could easily have risen in Germany w/o Hitler, but the Holocaust seems unlikely w/o Adolf's particular obsessions.
I think I may have accidentally have become a scold about the "time travel and kill Hitler" trope vis a vis the Great Man theory of history.

@womzilla I guess maybe? But it's not like Adolf's obsessions were very particular. More like widespread and mostly well-regarded. -
@chaosprime <+ As Hitler pointed out, mass extermination had been pioneered decades earlier in Anatolia, so maybe it was just genocide time. -
@womzilla Possibly. Maybe as a result of the exhaustion of the supply of frontiers.
