And the short king still won!
MANLETS RISE UP
SHORT MEN HAVE SPEARHEADED THE VANGUARD OF THE WORKING CLASS FOR TIME IMMEMORIAL
REVOLUTIONARY MANLETS
FRIEDRICH ENGELS: 5’6"
COUNTERREVOLUTIONARY LANKLETS
POL POT: 5’9"
ADOLF HITLER: 5’9"
LEON TROTSKY: 5’9"
ALL COUNTER-HISTORIES OF TALL REVOLUTIONARIES AND/OR SHORT COUNTERREVOLUTIONARIES WILL BE READILY DISMISSED AS FLUKES AND/OR REVISIONIST CAPITALIST-HEIGHTIST PROPAGANDA.
TELL ME THIS, APOLOGISTS: HOW CAN A LEADER CLAIM TO REPRESENT THE MASSES WHEN HE HAS TO LOOK DOWN ON THEM MERELY TO SPEAK TO THEM?
I rest my case.
173 cm. That’s about 5’8" I think. Enough to be looked down at, even by people half my age
This is actually due to the proletariat struggling to get enough nutrition growing up, while the bourgeoise (and petit bourgeoise) had no such trouble. Their short height is a symptom of oppression due to capitalism. (Or feudalism in Robespierre’s case)

Once Stalin’s formidability as a leader became undeniable, Himmler came up with the cope idea that Stalin was actually of a "lost Nordic Germanic Aryan blood type.” Stalin’s leadership could not be reconciled with what they saw as “Judeo-Asiatic”barbarism intrinsic to “the east”
Perhaps this contributed to Hitler’s begrudging admiration for Stalin, as he swore to show him leniency in the event of Nazi victory. Although the feeling was not mutual and Stalin was clear he would have Hitler and his cronies all shot
Although it goes to show how absurd nazi racial “science” was, which constantly needed revisions, qualifications, and convoluted theories to accommodate ongoing political and military realities

I’m pretty sure none of those heights are particularly tall. Even 1.75 meters is below average.
Pretty sure its more like 5’7’’
Besides, the average height of a German is 1.754 meters (slightly higher than Adolf) as of 2007, and heights in Western countries have been on a gradual decline so the average height was likely higher back then.
edit: misread search results
They say 5’ 9” because of you type into google “how tall was Hitler in feet” 5’ 9” is what shows up.
This is bullshit, everyone knows that your height is artificially increased by the gravitational tension your spine experiences hanging from a petrol station
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from all these cute little memes, it’s that fascists are really just cavemen. They think being big and strong means you’re right or deserve to win.
