Inspiration from Hitler

Many people have a twitter account to feel close to their celebrity crush or keep up to date with the latest news and gossip. As a politics student, I follow many news channels, journalists, politicians, and activists to keep up to date with global affairs. Admittedly, I have a guilty pleasure of following accounts tweeting "inspirational" quotes.

One quote forum which brightens up my twitter news feed is @QuotesBoat. They draw sources from John F. Kennedy to Muhammad Ali. On the 18th of July, @QuotesBoat decided to "gain inspiration" from Adolf Hitler.

The same Adolf Hitler who massacred 6million Jews plus gypsies, homosexuals and the handicapped.

I don't even care what his message was, I'd rather his words stay tarnished. I would not expect anyone to take an inspirational quote from Kony, so why should Hitler be any different.

You may think that it's ok to quote Hitler because the Holocaust happened over 70 years ago, but the trauma will never leave the Jewish people. Just because a certain time period has gone by, does not now make Hitler a good person.

The "inspiration" @QuotesBoat drew upon was that "...obstacles do not exist to be surrendered to, but only to be broken ~ Adolf Hitler"

Whatever message you take from this, my analysis is that the "obstacles" Hitler refers to is of the Jewish people, who are alien and do not deserve equal rights. As seen by the Nuremberg Laws imposed and the death camps, Hitler did not surrender to the Jewish people and tried his hardest to break them.

I replied to this twitter quote saying; "@QuotesBoat disgusting that u r quoting him, if u had thought a second before writing this u would realise the obstacles he is referring to"

I received no response, and this quote was not removed.

They have recently posted other quotes, showing that they are not away from Twitter, but instead just ignored my response.
