A.I. (Google Gemini) was used for data and references, as well as clarifications I needed, but not in writing of the following “explanation”, as Cody would put it.  “We” is used throughout as I am representing We the people of planet Earth in the prosecution of the case against Trump.
Is Donald John Trump worse than Adolf Hitler was? Yes. I am convinced that indeed he is.
Executive Summary
While Adolf Hitler is undeniably responsible for the most horrific deliberate atrocities in human history, this submission argues that Donald Trump represents a mathematically and existentially greater objective danger to the world. This argument establishes a rigorous methodological distinction between historical evil (malice and past body counts) and danger, which must be measured by a leader's capacity, scale, and potential to cause total global destruction. We demonstrate this modern threat through three main pillars, beginning with the apocalyptic scale of nuclear volatility, highlighted by the Doomsday Clock's unprecedented advancement during his tenure. Second, we analyze his deliberate acceleration of the climate crisis which as a pan-generational threat that, unlike mid-20th-century conventional warfare, holds the capacity to end all organized human life. Finally, we examine his model of 21st-century transactional imperialism. Evidenced by his attempts to purchase Greenland and the unprecedented January 2026 military abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro during "Operation Absolute Resolve", we argue that his blatant disregard for international sovereignty actively destabilizes the post-WWII global order and creates a "might-is-right" paradigm that risks catastrophic wider conflicts. Ultimately, this brief concludes that modern technological and ecological capacities elevate contemporary geopolitical threats far beyond the destructive limits of the 1940s.

I think men and women are good for each other, personally, and that we have created cultural solutions ON TOP of the biological solutions the evolution has provided us. Solutions that we aren't always that great at talking about, but directly relate to the bodies we...embody. [yingyang emoji]
ANYWAY, to be a hypocrite about not participating in the gender wars, I stumbled upon this article against feminism from a British political and cultural magazine with a left-leaning, progressive, and liberal political position called "The New Statesmen".
The article: https://www.newstatesman.com/cover-story/2026/04/meet-the-angry-young-women-why-young-women-dont-want-to-date-me
It's paywalled, but here's an excerpt:

ANGRY YOUNG WOMEN by @emilylawford
and @Scarlett__Mag
It was a Wednesday night and seven members of the University of Leeds’ feminist society had invited me to join their book swap. I asked how they felt about the young men they knew. “I don’t care for them,” said a girl called Ruby imperiously. “They’re not bad people, but they refuse to call out their friends who make other girls uncomfortable. They’ll laugh at jokes that are sexist, racist, homophobic, they don’t care about political issues… I don’t think they like women a lot.” If a man is attracted to you, she said, he might talk about things like toxic misogyny. If he doesn’t fancy you, he won’t bother. “I feel like a lot of it is quite sexually motivated with men.”
I asked if they’d consider dating a man with different political views. They all immediately said no. “I don’t think I’d even be friends with one,” said one girl. “They don’t see you as human.” Only one woman, Evelyn, admitted to having male friends (though she was worried this made her a “pick me”, trying too hard for male attention). Evelyn was concerned about what the men she knew were watching online. “The stuff that’s being said about women is crazy,” she said. “They’re getting all these reels, talking about, like, bad stuff about women. And I get reels of women saying bad stuff about men. I try to think, not all men are like this, but…”
On the internet, women and men have never been more alienated from each other. While the toxic, often hard-right politics of the manosphere have been exhaustively documented, the new generation of female influencers are nearly as extreme – just on the other side of the political spectrum. The “femosphere” spans a range of tones: there are misandrist dating coaches who urge women to reject men altogether, and more explicitly progressive content creators who cover global and domestic politics.
Exclusive polling by Merlin Strategy for the New Statesman reveals that young women, aged between 18 and 30, are by far the most progressive demographic in the UK. Young women are 26 percentage points less likely to feel positively about capitalism than young men, and much less likely to feel the economy works in their favour. Gen Z women are more likely to support causes such as feminism, environmentalism and anti-racism than young men. They also feel much more negatively towards young men than young men feel about them.
I spent the last few months in search of the new left-wing young women. It wasn’t difficult – they were everywhere. But it all felt impossibly bleak. They weren’t excited about their futures. They didn’t like the men they knew, or the idea of those they didn’t. Men were just a threat who had the potential to harm or trap them. This will almost certainly make relationships harder: fewer than half of young women feel men understand them. Young women are much less likely than men to date people who disagree with their politics. People will get lonelier, and angrier. Young women are twice as likely to not want children as young men. And it’s getting worse. Women under 25 are most likely to believe things are “stacked against me, no matter how hard I try”.
A significant majority of young women feel isolated from the rest of the country. The two main political parties aren’t reaching out to them specifically. Many women told me they feared a Reform government pressuring them to have babies. Many say they will vote for the Greens in the upcoming local elections, but few seem to believe that will make a difference. They don’t feel represented by mainstream politics, and they don’t think anyone cares.

It is interesting to me that kids are having less sex than ever (like has been a trend in Japan before it was a trend in America). I also do think that I have felt a lot of sentiment from women just straight up hating and distrusting men in general for being men, like, in principle. Like it's biology and there's nothing men can do, so count them out.
Big generalizations there, lots to push back on. The article focuses on Brits, not Americans or Japanese, so there's that, too.
