>I did go through a brief /pol/tard phase for a couple of years thinking Hitler and the Nazis were just mischaracterized vanguards of their people and all that, but then I grew out of it when I realized that it was also entirely possible and more likely that Hitler was not mischaracterized and was in fact a massive retard
I think one thing which can lead to this is trying to resolve a contradiction between Hitler's evil, villainous popular image with the fact that he had a lot of support in Germany from ordinary people who felt a sense of pride in Hitler. Well, obviously there were reasons why Hitler was an attractive figure, and actually a romantic one in a country with a strong tradition of romanticism. And then another aspect is the idea of Hitler fighting powerful enemies and nearly coming out on top. You'll see them say "but he fought the ~whole world~." Woah man. This is attractive to young men. It's like fighting a dragon. It's romantic.

People don't burn hot all the time. It's not psychologically sustainable to be a fanatical hater 24/7. But what happens is those attitudes get drummed into people over and over again until it becomes normalized.

Antisemitism isn't really about the "Jews" but about the antisemite and what the Jew represents, and there's a lot of psychological projection involved. Ask an antisemite to define the Jew. What they are doing is describing themselves.
