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.

Yes, Germans were Nazis. A round of applause for rehashing the joke for the billionth time.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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
