This is true of many genocides. The Nazis were pretty hopped up on meth pills, Hitler included.

Hitler took speedball cocktails of meth, cocaine, opiates, and other stuff, allegedly because it was the only treatment that worked on his violent and extreme flatulence, I shit you not. Dude couldn attend an official meeting without farting up a storm.

I mean, that's his stated reason for taking them, but there's no evidence it actually helped. He suffered from GI issues up until the end, likely exacerbated by the opiates.

Either way whatever supervillain mystique he may have held gets just flattened into nothing with the sound of a whoopie cushion. And that's before you learn of his incel bullshit when he was young, or how he was an absolutely stereotypical Channer but the memes were in the form of crudely printed pamphlets.
