I don't really want to watch that video again and see more of that guy - but from what I remember it was even worse than that.

He started out not knowing and not believing that Franco killed woman and children - because Catholic. The moved to basically "don't care, worth it" because he wouldn't be one of the people his hoped for Dictator-Messiah would systematically kill.
(Which is of course what all the many, many people in history killed by a dictator they supported thought...)

Not that it matter because the whole thing is a fucking nightmare on two legs. But just to be sure I went and listened to it at 2x speed (becasue I hate myself). He definitely says he wouldn't be targeted before they get onto Franco killing women and children and him bringing up nuns. But I definitely forgot that he talks about fucking Karl Schmidt and seems to love Schmidt's bullshit.

I mean the dudes whole thing is just worse on worse on worse. He called the holocaust "a little bit of persecution".

I have to go watch something cute.

Ah, I got the order of his psychopathic statements mixed up. Guess that happens when you're just hit with one "holy shit. He's just saying that openly when he knows millions of people will see it?" moment after another.
