'But if you close your eyes' - The Good Adolf Hitler

FYI this is just a “what if scenario”. A man named Adolf Hitler Uunona really did win a Namibian election in 2020. However everything after that is fictional as you can tell by the dates of the news articles being set in the future and it was purposefully meant to parallel the real events that led to the original Hitler’s rise to power. (Also im not sure if him and the orginal hitler are the same height that was just something I kept for congruency lol). I hope this guy really does do good in the future and maybe even make some major history in Namibia since man would it be beautifully ironic.

Also P.S. if you legit thought this was real and didn’t pay attention to the dates or just simply did a second google search then man you need to think for yourself more 🫤

"But believe me, this is just the beginning"
oh no

[KanooPhaPha]

The fact that Namibia was a German former colony make this even better

[mythoslys]

Imagine if this guy becomes so important he is put in history books, future students gonna be confusing the two hitlers all the time

This man was born and said " Fuck it, i'm playing life on Nightmare mode difficulty " and he's making a good run so far.

When you write a school report about the wrong hitler

Both of them being 5'9 is peak comedy

[namelesslang]

I feel like the fact he's specified as "an anti-apartheid activist" is just the icing on the cake.

"Who did you vote for in the last election?"

"It's better if I don't tell you..."

[legoeggot]

the fact he doesn’t say he’s a “good” or “great” guy, but he says he is an “OK guy” proves just how humble he is

[ntcnetwork]

“Man named Adolf Hitler promises he’s a good guy” may just be the best newspaper article title I’ve ever seen. 😂

[ItzNiekoyo]

“Promises he’s an okay guy” made me belly laugh so much harder than it should’ve

[mintpanda]

"Promises he is an ok guy" why is that so pure and wholesome
Edit: lol the battlefield in the replies.

"Choosing name"
*Chooses adolf hitler
"This name will make your life hell, proceed anyways"
*proceeds

[UwU-xkcx]

The guy said that he doesn't want to be defined by his name and talking about it with the media was a waste of time preffering to talk about his policies instead, he also dislikes when they compare him to the Austrian Hitler in the media and being called "the Hitler of Africa"

[Awkci_gaming]

His full name is Adolf Hitler Uunona. And according to him his dad didn't know who Hitler even was. But Namibia was a German colony between 1884-1915 so the German name isn't unusual.

[Littlefighter]

We gotta make this dude a success story, so that people can stop feeling physically uncomfortable when hearing the name Adolf.

[visoriannull]

i wasn't prepared for him being one of the best politicians in africa

When an old, really bad TV show gets rebooted and it's actually really good

This man is one of the many examples that there is hope in the world regardless of how bad things may seem
