No puppies were harmed in this analogy

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.
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.
I respectfully disagree
Yes, Germans were Nazis. A round of applause for rehashing the joke for the billionth time.
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?
I'm not sure it was a joke.
You got my upvote! Fuck the reddit trope of constantly bringing the same punchline over and over and expecting gold or whatever.
Many still are, just mention Palestine to them.
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
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.
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
