OK, I'll give Shermer some credit, but I wish he had resistjed the urge to add a "but." Also it's true that, Hitler said he hated bourgeois elites, but he was quite comfortable hanging out with them garnering support from them fairly soon after he started to become popular.https://twitter.com/michaelshermer/status/1145830500356902912 …

Perhaps the disgust Hitler voiced at the bourgeoisie was, like so many things Hitler did, a bit of posturing in order to win support. Even if it wasn't, he swallowed that disgust as soon as wealthy industrialists and businessmen started to support him.
