"My mom used to be a Holocaust denier until I took her to the Holocaust museum at Auswitz. Now she can't believe it's only happened once." - Anthony Jeselnik

...

Anthony should probably take his mom to some other Holocaust museums. Pretty sure the one in DC has displays for other genocides. I can appreciate the irony that a Hitler quote about how people forgot about the Armenian Genocide is one of the reasons it stays in the public consciousness.

I honestly can't tell if this is sarcastic or not

This is a shitposting sub

Its not. I did not know what Hitler did until today and now my day is ruined

You're one of today's unlucky 10,000.

Thank fuck he's not one of today's very unlucky 10,000,000.

Its rare I see an old new-to-me XKCD that's that good.

Oddly apropos

Not to be rude but that means either you are a grade schooler or home schooled or just never went to school at all no? I feel like you cant spend more than 2 days on the internet without stumbling upon some part of the history of WW2.

That's the joke. Lmfao.

First someone asks if this is sarcastic

You say it's not

Then someone says you must have been home schooled Or never have gone to school to not know this

And you reply that's the joke.

So which is it? You knew or you didn't?

Wait, you still don't get the joke?

Look at the up votes and down votes on this thread. That should tell you that a lot of people aren't following his logic.

yeah I know. hilarious honestly

If I know anything about lemmy users, it's that they're goddamn idiots and can never tell if something is a joke.

If I know anything about ~~lemmy~~ users, it's that they're goddamn idiots and can never tell if something is a joke.

Users everywhere, we are not special

Bro it's not that deep. We're in a shitposting community

Dude, it's shitposting here

What is the name of this instance? The answer shall reveal all

What is the name of this instance?

lemmy.world

Doesn't sound like he's a very worldly Lemmy at all

Ok but jokes are funny

Are you not laughing? You'd better laugh, or else...

As you look at your down votes I think something else will become clear.

wow people rlly forgot they were on a shitposting community and took you seriously.

Honestly that makes it funnier

You know what, I guess everyone learns about this at some point. In Germany we get, understandably, very well educated on the bad stuff, so no one makes these mistakes again. But I suppose in other places, people never even hear about WW2 their whole life

Looking at current AfD votes that whole learning from mistakes thing didn't work out that well.

What happened to today? Are you a student?

It gets worse the more you look into it.

Sorry to pile on but now compare the far right US Republican rhetoric to Hitler’s talking points.

Hey that's the guy that successfully killed that failure Hitler.

That would be true if he hadn't lived out the rest of his natural life in Argentina.

Famous amateur painter.

"You know, with Hitler, the more I learn about this guy, the more I don't care about him."

We should kill hitler

Didn't he make a couple movies

Several of the greatest movies ever made 100% wouldn't exist without his work. Schindler's List, The Pianist, Saving Private Ryan, and The Thin Red Line are just a few of the films he made possible. Say what you will about his various indiscretions, but the man loved the arts.
