Hitler appears in GritCult's posts as a reference point rather than an object of admiration: the end of a chain of imitation, a label whose social power he dissects, and a figure of history he reads about. The 98 matching posts peak in 2022 (33), much of that prompted by the conflict in Ukraine, where he both dissected the label and applied it himself to the Azov regiment.

Views

His most shared post on the subject is a chain of imitation: Hitler wanted to be like Napoleon, Napoleon like Charlemagne, and so back through Caesar and Alexander to Achilles, “and achilles did not exist” ^[1]. The point concerns mimesis rather than any man on the list: ambition copies earlier ambition until it bottoms out in myth. He repeated the chain in a December 2025 reply but drew a different conclusion from it: in a hundred years, what “NPCs feel about historical figures will change”, and “The real man thinks alone” ^[2].

The more analytical strand concerns the word itself. In February 2022 he noted that Russians and Ukrainians each accused the other of being neo-Nazis ^[3], and the same day argued against people who say the word has become meaningless: it has come to mean “other”, a “xeno classifier” ^[4]. He had made the point about power the year before. Whoever calls you a Nazi or a terrorist is categorising and defining you, and “whatever is named, is owned” ^[5]. The analysis sits uneasily beside his own usage: in a run of replies on 16 May 2022 he repeatedly called the Azov regiment neo-Nazi, using the word himself rather than studying it.

Elsewhere he treats Hitler as history. He credits British democratic free trade with letting the country stand up to him, turning the old jibe about a nation of shopkeepers into a compliment ^[6], and in 2020 listed the trial of Eichmann and Hannah Arendt's book on the banality of evil among his current interests ^[7]. When he jokes, the jokes deflate: born in 1999, he suggests, Hitler would have been “a failed soundcloud rapper” ^[8].

Recurring themes

• the chain of imitation that ends in myth
• historical reputations that shift within a century
• “Nazi” as a label of exclusion
• naming as a form of power
• history studied, not admired
