And you guys say the germans have no humour

[peoplebeproblems@midwest.social]

Oh that's good

[peoplebeproblems@midwest.social]

For good reason.

[alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Obligatory "I've never met a nice South African"

[free_opinions@feddit.uk]

Not a meme. Do we really need politics on every-single-community?

[bruhduh@lemmy.world]

ALL Western media are politics now

Also catch upvote

His response kinda confirms it was exactly what it looked like:

“Frankly, they need better dirty tricks,” Musk wrote on the social platform X, responding to a post describing the “salute hoax” as “just another part of the ‘dirty tricks campaign.’”

“The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired,” Musk added, with a sleeping emoji.

I feel like there is a joke here that I am missing.

[black616angel@discuss.tchncs.de]

Sorry, next time I'll wrap it in a nice
"nobody:

The Germans:"

[skunk@jlai.lu]

Damn, there are comments defending Musk, saying that Tesla are the safest or that Europe is dead because of leftists.

My fellow Europeans, can we please ban them, ban X and all the US republicans, never speak to them again and just continue living a good peaceful life with the rest of the world?

[samus12345@lemm.ee]

Yeah, it's not like the Germans would have any special insight into Hitler and not invoke him lightly.

[trickdacy@lemmy.world]

hey, I'm not doubting them at all. When I first saw this headline days ago I thought. "surely it's at least plausibly deniable".

It was not. The mask is all the way off now.

[neatobuilds@lemmy.today]

After you've read the jokes in the book you will miss the feeling of laughing the first time you read them

[samus12345@lemm.ee]

That wasn't in reference to you, but Muskrat.

[pivot_root@lemmy.world]

The contrast is insane. So many people on shitter love the taste of leather, apparantly.

[trickdacy@lemmy.world]

oh, gotcha

[trickdacy@lemmy.world]

book

help me get this joke please?

[neatobuilds@lemmy.today]

Im sorry I dont get it either

[trickdacy@lemmy.world]

hmm, then what book are you referring to?

[unfortunateshort@lemmy.world]

The only response to that should be

Straw man: Nobody accused you of being Hitler

[trickdacy@lemmy.world]

Yeah, I mean, it's obviously trolling to begin with. What he did is undeniably similar to the nazi salute, yet he dismisses that fact without even slightly addressing it. It's intentionally lazy, and trying to conflate less-apt Hitler comparisons with an incredibly applicable one. Because he knows this approach will work for his intended audience, and he gets to chuckle to himself about being untouchable.
