The four leading German roles on Hogan's Heroes (Klink, Schultz, Burkhalter, and Hochstetter) were portrayed by Jewish actors. Robert Clary (who portrayed LeBeau) was a concentration camp survivor. Werner Klemperer took the role of Klink on the condition that Klink would never win; he said he would quit the series if that ever happened.
Neo Nazis *love* putting on movies where Nazis are the villains. They love how scary and powerful those movies make them look. They *never* put on The Producers.
FWIW, there are a handful of Trumper Nazis that like to protest by a main road near where I live. I sometimes counter protest, but nothing... NOTHING drives them more insane than when you laugh at and mock them. One had a poster of that Trump "Rambo" image, and I nearly busted a gut while asking them to hold it up so I could get a clear picture of it. The fury in that woman's face and seeing her scramble to hide it from my camera was magnificent.
When Taika Waititi, who is Maori/Jewish, was asked about why he chose to play the role of Adolf Hitler in "Jojo Rabbit", he said "The answer's simple, what better 'fuck you' to the guy?"
There's a reason Trump gets his knickers in a twist when anyone makes fun of him... Obama, Colbert, Kimmel, Fallon, Meyers, Stewart, Oliver, Sykes, Klepper, Burr, Cross, Griffin, Lopez, Baldwin... the list is long and he has a tantrum about all of them because he has skin thinner than a soap bubble. He's a miserable, racist, mysogynistic, coward, that demands respect and lashes out when he is given the opposite. The very definition of pathetic and weak.
That's because they are jokes and they know that. But they're too dumb to realize how to stop being one so they lash out hurting others to try to make everyone else as miserable as they are.
Power in general does not like to be ridiculed. Chaplin understood that too. It may very well be one of the most powerful weapons against tyranny, which is why it's usually one of the first things being targeted by tyrants
Any time you pin them down with a fact and they just don't believe that, it's the implicit admission that they don't care.
Because they know it's important, or they wouldn't disavow knowledge of it. But they won't verify it, because they don't care if it's true. If it were truly important, they wouldn't just disbelieve it, but disprove it.
Disbelief without interest in proof just shows that all they want is to win the argument game.
It wasn't Jake Tapper, Kaitlin Collins, or Anderson Cooper that Trump utilized the FCC and/or network broadcasting deals to remove from airwaves--it was Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert who mocked him and made look silly on a nightly basis.
This used to be the case but the evil people of today have learned to troll and rage bait you. Sorry folks, the only way out of this is to actually genuinely start murdering billionaires, the people who are so obviously implicated in Epstein's network and first and foremost, your president. They will only respond to terror.
It's like calling MEGA Nazi or fascist and they kind of love it and lean into it. But you call them weird and they come unhinged doing all sorts of weird things. Trying to prove how they aren't weird. Of course, doing all that just makes them look even more weird
Worth remembering. Some people actively roleplay being evil overlords and fiendish masterminds, though their intellect is rarely actually quite up to the task. They love to see that fantasy reinforced. But virtually nobody likes being portrayed as a stooge.
Skinheads love Ed Norton's character in American History X, because they're media illiterate and ignore the 2nd half of the movie where he learns all the Nazi shit was bullshit perpetuated by liars and losers in his life as he tries to grow past it.
No skinhead sings "Springtime for Hitler" because the entire thing is a joke so obviously made to mock them that even those fucks get it.
Ugh… there's this Spanish band who made a song about how great the Spanish empire once was and how we will resurge and be great again that is so much obviously a joke but all the fascist-spirited dumbfucks have adopted it as their anthem. Guess all you need is a better idiot.
I recall the right wing getting really upset when Vance or Trump (can't remember which) was described as "weird" 😂. They took personal offense at "weird" but not the other insults
I can do a really good Hitler, Mussolini, Goebbels, and Himmler impression, along with the occasional Nixon. I've been told my Donald Trump is very spot on as well.
My hope is that he’ll have a massive stroke that affects his ability to speak and move: not dead, but basically unable to communicate, feed himself, walk, etc. Preferably with a great deal of pain, too. And then I hope he lives to be 100.
He's a manic egotistical narcissist, he hates any and all discussion about him that isn't just blind praise. Insult him at every opportunity you get, as loudly and publically as possibl.
This. We know exactly how to deal with narcissist bullies and have for thousands of years. It's doesn't actually matter how much power they have It only matters how much power people think they hold and when you tease them, clearly they can't be that powerful
It's like sticking a self eating worm virus into a computer

There used to be a writing exercise where you would write out your characters as normal then you would go back and make them evil. It's fun.

Portraying someone as a villain suggests respect for the power they wield, but ridicule is only ridicule.

It's why every abuser and bully has a hair trigger and sees everything as a threat: they are incredibly insecure and made of spun glass.
