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, @[email protected]. I expect far more jpeg from your posts.

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

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

Too many pixels and not enough jpeg artifacts

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Now is the time I guess?

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Elon can only grow ass hair

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

'Is he though?' is the actual line

LoL! Well played. ⬆️

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months 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".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

LoL umad bro?

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yall post this man too much its weird

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, why would anyone care about an ultra wealthy individual who bought his way into governmental power and does nazi salutes and has a far right ideology that will certainly cause massive harm for the country and likely the world?

Like, focus on the important stuff, amirite?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Maybe I'm cooked but if millions of ppl were hating on me daily to the point where my face covered every site the embarassment would turn into dopamine and it would start feeding me, attention is attention

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This implies I dont think he should be hated, thats not true, just doesn't feel super productive to give him more attention, it doesn't take away his power just adds to his influence

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Its like I told my dad right up until he passed away. Don't worry about the growth, focusing on it wont help anything, it will probably sort itself out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

yall just make the tumor bigger is what I'm saying, actively adding to the cancer

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

just gives him more attention, he loves seeing his face on every site every day

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Muskrat? Literally doing a Nazi salute at a US presidential inauguration just earlier this week isn't worthy of constant criticizing posts?

It's kinda all over the Internet, not just here btw.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

He did it knowing hed be plastered over the internet for a week if he did
