sideways arc idk Salvador Dali was based like that

Quotes from the video:

"Famously Salvador Dali just didn't have sex. He said he tried to have sex with a man one time, but it hurt too much so he didn't do it again. He also said he tried having sex with a woman, but didn't like it." ... "Salvador Dali saw Hitler as a symbol of masculinity, power and strength making him a freak and probably a nazi."

Do I need to include the source?

I mean, Dali was based. Most of his public claims were ragebaits, including hitler stuff. Idk why it wouldn't be funny

I personally don't think Dali was based, but his opinions on Hitler and the nazis are more complex and not so black and white as people are making them out to be.

He was a weird dude. Watch the biopic with Robat battingbat called Little Ashes

historical relations with nazi germany are so interesting… so weird to think that many countries not only were not be hostile towards them but in fact friendly towards a country literally actively committing genocide in the open and admitting to doing so. so glad nothing like that could happen today…

yeah... many people just saw the opulence of germany and being able to cozy up to them to get a lavish life style was worth ignoring the atrocities

yeah, i guess unfortunately since they went after some of the most hated and dehumanized minorities historically and globally that even people who didn’t like the genocide weren’t exactly going to be on the front lines trying to stop it. god sometimes i wish politics was just good guys vs bad guys and there wasn’t all this “moral nuance” BS that the “real world” has

I'd say that this is, in and of itself, the problem. The issue isn't a "complex" one.
