@noobler9 in don quixote, the guy sees windmills as giants and makes some random woman his princess and all that, the linkup there is subtle, and overall seemingly good natured to some degree but is considered a vicious attack on rampant ideology over realism in that place and time so I'd be a little careful, heh
@noobler9 to this end, it's hard to tell, I see a lot of rants against him but I've yet to find a good source of his views in fulll context, just 40 second clips here and there, it's really annoying, because a lot of humour in those days was a bunch more subtle, being I suspect, something that could get you into a real heap of trouble f you came out and said it outright
don quixote was a criticism of catholicism in spain, the author said "he was too good for this world" - representing idealism
he's well known for sarcasm, the pleasant attitude is part of his mocking them, it's mockery, and tons of it, the way we might talk about putin for getting 90/95%
however, at the same time as I'd talk about putin like that, I would also make a comment about that, it's well known that the treaty of versailles put huge unfair burdens on the germans and that is in fact what promoted radicalization there
also, I speak of accepting police to the black bloc, and accepting liberalism to the right wing
@syby1112 I don't think he was actually an "anti-semite". He spoke in honor of Albert Einstein, too.
He was also a communist supporter in 1931.
It seems like he just supported what was popular at the time in a lot of his speeches.
Though I have to give him credit for bringing up the Treaty of Versailles, something that is generally overlooked when people mention Hitler and the starting of the 'Third Reich'.

I agree. Stubborn old fool who was too full of his own opinions to see past the end of his own nose.
