Gregory's Server@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.

 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.  @rejzor @AlgoCompSynth @bojacobs It came out a year after WW2 started. |
@AlgoCompSynth And Vaudeville as a whole. Plus, on film, this was the core of the Little Tramp schtick.
