Presumably the insights are just that he was a human and not a space alien.

What are they looking for exactly?

They are trying to track down the genocide gene. Then we can screen all of our politicians for it

The Nazis couldn't have done their genocide without the support of thousands of people, all who made the decision to actively support it for their personal gain, believes, or just plain complacency. What is a genocide supporting gene in one time is a normal suburban life gene in another time.

Yes, most people would love Hitler's work if it wasn't associated with Hitler/ Germany won the ww2. I fucking hate humanity.

[–] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

That is not what I'm saying. More, most people won't interfere or even support someone doing things like Hitler. You don't have to love your boring 9-to-5 job organising the maintenance of the trains to the camps, but if you do it because not doing it involves inconvenience... Yeah.

That sounds the kdrama Mouse where they find the serial killer gene, but just because you had it doesn't mean you'd become one. Sounds like a terrible future and another layer of future discrimination for things beyond people's control that might just be a carrier.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That sounds like latent serial killer genes talking

Damn you caught me!

People keep shouting Idiocracy.

I reckon Gaataca is the more likely outcome.

An excuse for the camps to continue Hitler's work. How is everyone stupid enough not to figure it out?
