Ask me about Adolf Hitler.

As I was writing some things It occured to me that reason why he may seem like such anathema in more ways than Stalin or Mao to people is that he made persecution a part of the popular culture in his country.

I can't think of any other persecutor that has done this, but I may be forgetting someone.

Hard for me to tell much of "pop culture" so to say prosecution (outside of warframe needs) had become for an average German at that time - but I have no doubt it absolutely pales in comparison to what had been happening in USSR in 1937-1938. In nazi case prosecution was directed at minority groups, mainly jews and slavs. A few million people at best, a little fraction of the nations population. In Russian tens of millions of people were prosecuted during this period for little or no reason whatsoever.
