Playing off hate as a joke, this is why it's okay to punch nazis
Punching nazis always produces a smile if not a laugh
Yup, there's also this idea that certain people like to posit that Nazis never laugh or attempt to make jokes. It's not that you aren't joking, it's what your joke says about you.
I can understand that in a particular moment you're not calling for the literal death of your political opponents, yet still believe you'd be pretty okay with the literal death of your political opponents, and your "joke" may well help me be more confident in my conclusion.
Yeah. This was definitely a joke. It’s also definitely not a joke whose teller I want anywhere near a political panel or as the guest on a news show. I wouldn’t think of this joke, it makes my skin crawl. The fact that he not only thought of it, but found it worthy of saying, speaks volumes as to how he thinks about people.
To be fair, the original Nazis were German...
German comedian in monotone: I just flew in to Zurich and my armz, zey are tired.
Audience: cough.
That's because it's true. Fascists fundamentally destroy humor. They aren't joking when they say this stuff. They just say they are.
It's so much more straightforward than people act like.
