These times really make me think. Not everybody was instantly a Nazi back when Hitler came up, there was a progress. So there must have been plenty of people who thought he was a clown with a bit too much influence.

These new politicians seem like a joke compared to the Nazis, but the Nazis probably seemed like a joke to plenty of people back then, too. Like, this is not a joke what's going on right now

Wasn't Hitler always a kinda incompetent leader?

If anything that should serve to showcase that you don't need to be a strong leader to cause massive amounts of damage. Hell, in this day and age you barely need to do shit to cause the end of the world. Just demand the nukes fly. Though hopefully that process would be stopped by people with some self-preservation insinct.

Nope... this is how it will go down. The decent people disappeared from positions of power.

I'm appalled, @cm0002@lemmy.world. I expect far more jpeg from your posts.

Here's the original for those who'd actually like to see the meme

Too many pixels and not enough jpeg artifacts

~~"It's a Charlie Chaplin mustache"~~ ¡Michael Jordan did it! || "It's called a toothbrush mustache"

I'm pissed at Hitler for ruining it, because that's the only place my mustache grows in thick.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just grow the outer sides long and curl them up with wax. Dali-style.

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd still have a Hitler stache for like 2-3 months.

But, considering the current administration, that might be a bit of a protection.

Now is the time I guess?

Or just wear a t shirt that says 'boo hitler.'

Elon can only grow ass hair

Yeah, that's exactly what we see in the pic.

If you're known as a Charlie Chaplin fan? Maybe. Michael Jordan is your idol? Maybe. Known for flirting with Neo Nazi idiology? That's some unambiguously Nazi shit...

I think he's just quoting what Thor is usually saying in the meme at the bottom. But yeah

[–] running_ragged@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

'Is he though?' is the actual line

LoL! Well played. ⬆️

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I hate the phrase "same difference". The phrase makes no sense.

"Difference" is the comparison between two things. There is only one difference, so of course it's the same!

It seems to be some mashup of "same thing" and "no difference" but it entirely loses any meaning.

It's essentially like the phrase "I could care less".

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

LoL umad bro?

Seriously in this context I couldn't care less about someone going "AcTcHuAlLy!..." over some dumb meme.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You took that weirdly personal for just a simple aside about a common phrase. My annoyance is with the phrase, not you because you used it. Calm down.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm calm dude. No worries. It's all good 🤙

[–] qbus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It's nice having one Foreigner try to explain it to another
