Do some people STILL defend him?

Yup there are a few on youtube...

I think he was horrible. One of the worst human beings ever. He would fit right in with the DNC today.

Still mighty popular in the Arab world.

The better question is do people still use him to make poor or inexact analogies? Or use Hitler as a defense mechanism to deflect criticism?

It's edgy to go counter culture. There's a perceived implication that clarification of nuances regarding an agreed-upon view means that the entire view is suspect, and that the opposite view must certainly be accurate.

I think nuance is important of course. But what we have is ppl taking one extreme to counter another.

I remembering someone writing a really good breakdown of this sentiment in regards to Tesla/Edison. I think it's the same thing with Hitler and with all sorts of subjects where people jump on the bandwagon.

Do they honestly believe? Maybe, or maybe they haven't thought it through. We see that all the time, here too on moviechat. Someone claims an argument that doesn't fit yours, you ask for proof in disbelief. Someone else presents a counter argument that DOES fit yours, and you don't ask for proof, you just go "I thought so!" Even though the burden on both claims were even.

I've seen a lot of people say things like "the holocaust was wrong, but Hitler did have to do something about the Jewish problem." That's how genocides happen - people believing that the presence of others is a problem to be solved.
