Alt text: a post from @lolennui.bsky.social that says: Once my German friend asked what creative people do without arts grants and other support in the US and I felt like a parent trying to explain to their kid that the puppies can die sometimes

They have seen what happens when you don't let an aspiring artist grow professionally, and perhaps continue their education, for instance, in a place like the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts

Nah lmao Adolf was a talentless hack. The man had absolutely no understanding of angles. Have you seen his paintings? They suck.

Nobody falls out of the crib painting Rembrandts. Maybe if he was allowed to go to school it would have been different.

Yes, Germans were Nazis. A round of applause for rehashing the joke for the billionth time.

[–] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 16 points 9 months ago

I didn't see it a "Germans were nazis" joke as much as a "Every country has its crazies, Germans do now care for theirs" joke.

perhaps you're right, too predictable. Am I the baddie?

[–] soloner@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

You got my upvote! Fuck the reddit trope of constantly bringing the same punchline over and over and expecting gold or whatever.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

I'm not sure it was a joke.

Many still are, just mention Palestine to them.

[–] Wes4Humanity@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I assume from context that you mean they support Palestine and are against Israel's genocide... Which doesn't make them Nazis... Actually kinda makes them not Nazis... Not sure how/why it's possible that Israel turned into Nazis, but they did.

Correct me if I misread the context

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Have I been misled? I thought Germans in general were pro-Israel and anti-Palestine. Perhaps just the government, media and police? I have seen German police brutalizing pro-Palestine protestors, I just thought it was a minority that are protesting.

[–] Wes4Humanity@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

My apologies then... I misinterpreted your original comment... I'm pretty sure you're correct that the Germans in general super support Israel... or at least what I've seen in the media or online makes it seem that way... But yeah, it could also be the government vs what the people really think kinda thing... Like in the US

To this day Germans are afraid of all painters because these guys are just another Holocaust waiting to happen.

... Is what you are saying. Not very funny.

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 14 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Not very funny

I respectfully disagree
