I mean I get the whole post isn’t super serious but for real, I doubt that getting rid of Hitler-Hitler would have stopped the rise of fascism and nazis. There would have just been another leader who might have caused even greater damage.
That’s sadly a very good point. I work in the biomedical sphere and it is an uncomfortable topic that a lot of our knowledge would not exist without the horrible experiments done on people during the second world war.
I think often such things merely accelerate the time line. I’m pretty sure the urge to go look at the big shiny thing in the sky has been with us a looong time. We would have gotten there eventually one way or another.
We would have gotten a communist germany. The first big enemy Hitler and his nazi party had to defeat were the communists who were operating similar death gangs to their gestapo.

Or fascism may become the new trend in democracy because it didn’t get associated with genocide…
you imply this isn’t what’s currently happening anyways
I always think more about the technological leaps made because of the war. We might not have gone to space if nobody made rockets as weapons.

It would also probably go even faster if we just stopped requiring things to be “”“economical”“” to get research.
