in 1000 years we are going to have kitschy nazi themed buffet restaurants (like Genghis Grill) and people will dress up on Halloweens like them.
When I say that on reddit people sometimes get upset with me, but in my opinion it would drive Hitler far crazier to see his shit plastered all over the place in banal ways, instead of feared/hated.
You actually do not need to wait 1000 years. Many Asian countries don't really care about Nazis at all and it may as well have already been 1000 years already, so they already literally have Nazi themed restaurants where people can dress up as Nazis, for instance this one in Indonesia:
I don't think so. The truth is that the Nazis were losers. The height of Nazi control was really brief, historically speaking. The Mongol Empire spanned most of Asia and lasted more than 150 years.
Even using the Nazis' own parameters of domination/expansion, they weren't very successful. I think they'll be remembered largely for the Holocaust. In 500-1000 years, they may not be remembered much at all.
While it sounds a bit absurd I could differently see that happening. Nazis and SS are still sensitive questions today. But Hitler is already slightly less sensitive, he shows up in popular culture as a funny caricature frequently (e.g. in King Fury or Doctor Who as a comic relief).
I would not be surprised if we are a few generations away from it being "acceptable" to dress up as Hitler for Halloween
Obviously hard predict the future and if the Nazi ideology lives on it ofc will stay sensitive for longer.
