Karlson died of prostate cancer on 7 August 2024 at the age of 82.

RIP

The book also revealed that Karlson was an admirer of Adolf Hitler and Nazism, and that on at least one occasion he threw a party at his home to celebrate Hitler's birthday.

I hope he suffered

I find it so odd that stoners celebrate on April 20, because that's Hitler's birthday.

There are only 366 days in a year. They all have some heinous activity that has happened on them at some point.

I mean, sure, of course. But you gotta admit that Hitler kind of stands out, right? After all, it's fucking Hitler. He's the guy that killed Hitler.

The thing is - you go into a group of 30 people and there is a huge chance that two people share a birthday. As someone said - there is always a "weird" date, someone's birthday, someone's death, country falling apart or whatever.

If you get 30 Hitlers in a room they all will share the same birthday. Isn’t probability crazy?

I fell like whatever alternative timeline you're pulling them from, at least few could have been born on a different day.
