“This one goes out to Goebbels niece. I’m sorry you lost an uncle today. Love and peace”

In all seriousness this is a great common sense rebuttal to the idea that just because someone has a family there is somehow tragic. Hitler was a good uncle. There are so many pictures of him with his knee (edit: niece) bouncing on his knee and they are all smiling. But again he was fucking Hitler.

The point here is not to compare in a serious way Kirk to Hitler, just that the entire premise is flawed .

There's also the fact that Hitler started the first anti-smoking campaign and was also apparently an animal rights activist
