@AlgoCompSynth And Vaudeville as a whole. Plus, on film, this was the core of the Little Tramp schtick.  The problem is: we now know that this tactic wasn't enough to actually solve the problem. I think maybe I'd rather not take all my advice on this issue from well-to-do entertainers, given that they enjoy a level of protection that most of us never have, and never will.  @maggiejk @xenophora @bojacobs @AlgoCompSynth Agreed. Ridicule clearly seems to be the best weapon against these fuckers.  What was the Little Tramp schtick? Don't you mean the Great Dictator? And Chaplin was not Jewish... in Attenborough's film, Chaplin says "I don't have that honour" @pete @AlgoCompSynth The Little Tramp was Chaplain's silent character back in the teens and twenties. He was always in relationship with much more powerful people than he was who were usually depicted as fools and childish. Yes, I know about Charlie Chaplin. I didn't understand what you meant by "Plus". Did you mean the part about about Jewish people making the evil look like fools by playing them? I didn't get the connection to Chaplin's Little Tramp who was neither evil, nor Jewish. @pete @AlgoCompSynth The plus Little Tramp part is not specifically about Jewish humor, but about how Chaplain designed the character, in part, to be a foil for rich and powerful people who acted idiotically.    @AlgoCompSynth @bojacobs Wasn't Charlie Chaplin mocking Hitler first with The Great Dictator back when WW2 wasn't in motion yet? @rejzor @AlgoCompSynth @bojacobs The Three Stooges' You Nazty Spy came out in January 1940. Chaplin's The Great Dictator was October 1940.  @bojacobs The same with Colonel Klink of Hogans Hero's fame was played by Werner Klemperer, who was from a Jewish family, and would only take the role if Klink was basically a fool there were a lot of jews playing nazi officers, etc., in hogan's heroes. the opportunity to make fools of nazis must have been most delicious. @homelessjun @cvvhrn @bojacobs Lebeau, Burkhalter and Schultz actors were all Jewish. I love that show. robert clary, who played corporal LeBeau, was an amazingly kind person. i've heard the same about john banner (sergeant schutlz) and werner klemperer (colonel kilnk), who was also a classical violinist in real life.  @homelessjun @cvvhrn @bojacobs yes thank you! i’ve been casually wondering how hogan’s heroes ever got made.    @bojacobs a common trait of most populists and autocrats seems to be that they have a hard time laughing about themselves, even in the most harmless circumstances  Its a tell-tale sign of Psychopaths and Narcissists that they can’t laugh at themselves. Fascism is Psychopathy and Narcissistic Personality Disorder writ large, as a national identity. from On Hitler's Mein Kampf by Albrecht Koschorke Mel Brooks & Somuncu should collaborate. Soon. I sent the suggestion to Rob Reiner whom I have no connection to so @bojacobs How would he explain the latest of many wars against civilians & children in Palestinian Gaza?  @PabloMartini @bojacobs If you have anything to contribute to this, please do. Or is your schtick just to imply a Jew automatically sides with the IDF?  @Mabande @PabloMartini @bojacobs You’re awesome if you ever see me doing this shit please come at me with this energy ❤️ @bojacobs  That may explain why 'Allo. Allo' is popular not just in france, but I think it is or was also popuar in Germany too, it made fun of everyone esp the German and Italians.   @bojacobs I'd say Charlie Chaplin, also a jewish actor, director and artist, did this way earlier. Just review 'The Great Dictator' 😁 @peluchecero @bojacobs uh nice to know. He didn't contradict the false report about him being jewish, because oft solidarity 🙂 In the film, Chaplin (1992), when a German official asserts that Chaplin's is Jewish, he says he does not have that honour.  @bojacobs I got the impression that making fools of them made them look less threatening, now that people, who lived through that time, are nearly gone.  @SenseException I strongly agree and this is why a lot of young people in Italy joke about Anna Frank and Hitler, they are seen as comedy characters after decades of nazi jokes in Family Guy or comedy movies. Also this "weird" meme about Trump/the right I dont like it, weird used to be something to be proud of, meaning you are different than the mass. What is the opposite of weird? Normie? Conformist? This is not going to end well  @bull @SenseException @bojacobs The point is that those of us who are good weird know that we are weird, we're not mainstream, we're fine with that. The MAGA folk though, they've deluded themselves that they are normal, that they are the mainstream and everyone who is a real person is like them. That's why calling them weird gets so much under their skin. Because they're not normal. They are weird. @ariaflame @bull @SenseException @bojacobs exactly, they’ve deluded themselves into thinking they are speaking for all Americans. Telling them they are weird reminds them that they live in their strange little pocket of delusion and everyone outside of their cult thinks they’re weird. It’s a step in the direction of shunning them from society and I am all for it. They are dangerous on multiple levels. @bojacobs "The best way to drive out the devil, if he will not yield to texts of "The devill . . the prowde spirite . . cannot endure to be Both quoted at the start of CS Lewis's Screwtape Letters (which was itself dedicated to JRR Tolkien). The tactic continues to be effective after literal centuries.  Humour is good means. Remember also e.g. Radio Yerevan? https://www.armenianinstitute.org.uk/viewstext/radio-yerevan So, about Trump, religious superstitionists, neo-nazis and the like: let them be laughed at. 😆    @bojacobs well yes, and men have been telling us for a couple decades now that their fear of being embarrassed on a first date is on par with women being afraid we will be murdered or assaulted. These dudes see being laughed at as just as offensive as being raped. They also tell us that shunning works wonders.  It looks like there's a site that has taken this to heart. https://daily-twerk.com/entertainment/orange-man-offended-by-blue-man/ https://daily-twerk.com/politics/republicans-secretly-considering-replacing-trump-and-vance/ https://daily-twerk.com/classified-adverts/trump-brand-ear-bandage/ https://daily-twerk.com/politics/liz-truss-autobiography-deal/  @bojacobs IMO, One of the most important musical performances of the 20th century: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I1583adUqSg  @bojacobs now I want to act like a Disney villain and shout "FOOLS! ALL OF YOU" on every single one of their posts. 😂  |
@bojacobs And by Moishe Horowitz even longer ago. You probably know Horowitz by his stage name, Moe Howard, who was the first actor to play Hitler on film in a satire.
