And you guys say the germans have no humour

[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.

Proud supporter here. I chuck them a few quid every month.

Oh thanks for that ‘cancel’ tip!

[woodytrombone@lemmy.world]

This is your daily reminder that being anti-facist isn't political, it's just good common sense!

[neatobuilds@lemmy.today]

whatever book they are talking about that has a whole compendium of humor, im not sure what exactly it is

[spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works]

I can picture this very German explanation of what humour is. A technical manual on it and how to be funny, and yet not a single "lol" was had in the reading

[isokiero@sopuli.xyz]

German humour is no laughing matter.

[imhotep@lemmy.world]

I read they're a group from the UK

[drthunder@midwest.social]

The joke is that Germans love bureaucracy and design and don't do humor, as evidenced by some German chocolate my dad got at LAX that described itself as square and practical.

[bleistift2@sopuli.xyz]

You don’t get a “vroom” from reading a car manual, either.

[moinmoin1@feddit.org]

News from today; german prosecutor is investigating against the guys who projected this on the Teslafactory for showing illegal Nazi symbolics. So: for german prosecutors it definitely was a Nazi salute.

[ditti@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Ritter Sport? If so, don't forget the part where it described itself as good!

[delphia@lemmy.world]

You call it what it was, a Nazi salute.

Because if he cries defamation and wants to sue, stand there in court and give the judge the finger. The judge shoukd either accept that hand gestures have commonly accepted meanings or endure the whole case while you give everyone the finger. Probably make a few wanking motions with your hand for good measure...

[x3x3@lemm.ee]

So this will be added as a right wing crime in the logs? Got it

[drthunder@midwest.social]

I had to look it up but that's totally it, lol

[selokichtli@lemmy.ml]

Because it's the heart of a Nazi, anyway.

[glowing_hans@sopuli.xyz]

german news media reports this is fake picture? Is that true?

[natanox@discuss.tchncs.de]

No, it's real. It was an art installation at the Tesla Factory Berlin.
