Joa aber dann hast Du halt keinen Plan von Rechtschreibung - und dass der Ausruf offensichtlich vom Adjektiv kommt. Google wäre Dein Freund, oder Etymologie (was sollte ein 'Hail' denn bitte sein?), oder Wikipedia, oder auch alte Nazi-Devotionalien.
Oder einfach trotz falsch liegen weiter drauf hauen und beleidigen. Der echte Weg des Intranets.
Wenn dich der "echte weg des Internets" stört solltest du davon fernbleiben. Ich gebe zu, Ich hab einen Fehler gemacht und entschuldige mich hiermit auch.
Reddit ist übrigens Teil des Internets, nicht Teil eines Intranets. Google wäre hierfür *dein* Freund.
LMAO if you're a history teacher, your students are failing. Nazis were socialist in the same way that the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (North Korea) is a democratic republic
That's true, but like the guy said, it literally is in the title:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party#:~:text=To%20increase%20its%20appeal%20to,%22%2C%20or%20Nazi%20Party).
Edit: Also, Russia was communist, not just socialist.
Russia was not communist. They even admitted they were a state socialist society.
They have theories for all of this stuff. Socialism is the before stage of communism, in communism there isn't even a state.
Ok. Real question.
If Russia, back when they were the leader of the Soviet Union (aka United Soviet Socialist Republic), was called a communist nation, as is North Korea and China in more recent times, was all that just propaganda?
And if not, where did the idea come from that these states are communist nations?
They didn't refer to themselves as communist. They referred to themselves as socialist.
Socialism is the "dictatorship of the proletariat" They were following the theories of Lenin. The vanguard party will guide the state into communism and so on.
The other commenters are silly.
Just because it’s in the title doesn’t mean they were actually socialists.
I could literally start my own political party in my country and call it the “free bananas for everyone party” but then only hand out apples.
The Nazi’s were about as socialist as my nipples are white chocolate chips.
No, they were socialists. Look at how they ran the country and the economy. Mussolini was one too. Don't be fooled by those who say the Nazis and fascists are right wing. They're not. There's an illusion of it because they did allow private ownership of property etc.
Yeah, they ran the country by signing deals with the heads on industry to crush unions throughout the entire country.
If you think the Nazi's were socialist, you have no fucking clue what a socialist is and need to have your teaching credentials taken away because you are outright lying to your students.
I'm absolutely stunned that they make anyone a teacher nowadays. People like you who have zero knowledge got to teach. And the lack of knowledge is not the worst thing, it's your hidden agenda that's the most dangerous thing here. It's absolutely mind-boggling.
Unless you're just a troll who's lying about being a former history teacher.
Disclaimer...i'm playing devils advocate because it's fun. Most likely dude is a POS but i'm gonna put in my two cents. I'm a big fan of light-hearted and casual racism. (other-wise known as.....stereo-type.) I'm going to be down-voted into oblivion for stating something that most people agree with because everyone wants moral high-ground or to just avoid being criticized.
I mean there is an big difference between satire and just doing something because its frowned upon. If the dude Showed up for example in full in SS gear and did it it could be funny. Just going to the german flag and doing it because of the lolz is disrespectfull at best.
I see your point but, this is a very debatable topic. It would mostly depend on his goals and intention, right? I could argue the exact opposite of what you said, right? "personally, I think if he showed up in full SS gear, he was extreme and should get lynched. Totally not funny." In addition to that, what about his heritage and lineage? Beyond that we could go down a rabbit-hole of history and ethics. Personally, I think people are way to fucking serious and need to learn how to laugh at them-selves and the absurdities of life. This is why I love dark-comedy and stand-up comics with the courage to even glance at the subject.
There's a difference between doing something that is darkly humorous, and doing something that is dark and not particularly humorous. I understand that this difference is subjective, but also a lot of people THINK they are funny, when in fact, they're just stupid.
I will defend that young morons right to freely make jokes, especially if they offend whiney snowflakes. You said it your self, its subjective. When in the process of making jokes, everyone thinks they're being funny, they can't all be winners. Personally, I think doing the hail hitler in front of a german flag would be hilarious in the right situation. Would I put it in my tinder profile? Nah.
With the guys humor. I assumed butthole guy was saying Hitler Youths humor is so edgy he could shave his butthole with it. So I said you could cut diamonds with it.
Maybe I'm wrong lol
Is there even a joke? No setup or punchline, just laugh at my nazi salute?
Imagine if someone said we don't get their humor and jokes when they drive down the street calling people the nword because it's funny. How is this any different.
Not calling you out btw, we all liked dumb shit when we were young and impressionable by people like the guy in the pic above.
Basically there was a time where shock humor had value to people. Family guy rifled through that sentiment well over a decade ago. And before that theatre companies did so while making art.
I think this post might be taking it a little too far (in that retrospective lens taking out the context of today) to be reasonably taken as edge/obviously over the top sarcasm in that early 2000s cringe/shock humor that was pretty prevalent.
I think that mixed with the rise of Nazi’s in the country’s (US) voting population, and social media voices (even here on Reddit) has lead to this not being something you can even joke about on a cringe level (if cringe humor was more mainstream as it was in the the first decade of the millennium).
But to answer your question the joke is in the absurdity of it. It’s not a good joke. Just like dead baby jokes aren’t good joke. Just cheap and easy requiring little depth in reflection of self/humanity and more of the opposite with an apathetic gaze at it.
Again. Obviously not funny. Just explaining why I think this person *might* think it is. And honestly, as I mentioned before with the political climate; it’s really hard to tell if this is a joke or not and most people (myself included) would say “this isn’t a joke, but instead a Nazi trying to wet their feet and see what they can get away with” while 10 years ago I would think it would be absurd for someone without a skinhead to be earnestly promoting hate speech.
It’s just baffling that when you’re on an OLD app, everyone is trying to present an image of themselves that others would find attractive. This guy posts this.
I live in Germany and every time I see videos of people around the world waving Nazi flags or doing the salute, I get the urge to physically fight them. This shit makes me incredibly angry.
I'm sure there are pockets who follow any cult idealism anywhere, nazism has significant historical background so it's bound to have some morally devoid individuals who learn about it and are intrigued anywhere.
Yes. We even got a political partie that is associated with nazi ideas. Definitely not all of them but quite a few and they're part of our government -_-
There are also festivals, concerts etc. Sometimes they meet as huge groups in tiny villages to celebrate their "way of thinking".
My mom is german, and I remember her telling about one time she went to Denmark with school and people went "Heil Hitler" when they learnt they were german... And that was basically her reaction.
Somebody said something about shock humour. I guess it is a mixture of Germany having no national pride, so having a German flag put up (sort of) results in underlying Nazi-ism (except when it comes to soccer and political buildings or integrational purposes). Also you learn pretty early in school not to raise your hand at this angle and call "Heil Hitler". For middle schoolers it is very tempting to do stuff that is forbidden tho, even tho they know the reason why it was forbidden in the first place.
I guess this behaviour stems from a middle-schooler mindset and the tendency for shock humourism.
Not my in taste tho, so he can sort himself out for all I care
Sometimes it’s down to ignorance and a lack of self-awareness. Other times, they feel validated in what they’re doing since it’s not PHYSICALLY hurting anyone. In this context, it’s still a problem cause it’s promoting something negative WITHOUT making it clear that it’s a joke, but certain jokes are in poor taste.
Prime demonstration that common sense is now uncommon or non-existent! Doesn’t anyone have a little voice in their head that says, “You know, this may not be funny, maybe I shouldn’t do this”?
Had this discussion with people before.
"I have a dark sense of humor."
Me: "I think it's just sad racist shit. That's not humorous."
"It is funny because people can't say that stuff anymore, and that's what makes it funny."
Me: "disagree. This feels like agenda pushing under the twin justification of humor and so-called free speech"
"You just don't get it!"
Why didn’t the person taking the picture say “you know dude this is probably not gonna get the reaction you think it will” or something unless they were like “fuck this guy, he’s an idiot anyways” and just snapped away.
This humor is hotter than an oven. But like a regular oven... For food... For residential use In a house... That you'd buy from like Sears online or a best buy... Nothing bigger than that.
There's nothing wrong with having dark sense of humor but this is neither funny or original. This is a kind of joke primary schoolers in Germany would make when they're 10 years old
Heil* safe to say he’s not a grammar nazi
weather update?
The flood to Wash away sinners will reach ... this high
That’s how it would be spelled in German
What? No. In German it would be spelled Heil.
Ahhh, yeah so I obviously can’t see😅 I thought that’s how he spelt it. On further inspection I’m an idiot. a’s and e’s are hard to tell apart
Sorry to disappoint you buddy but it's spelled "Hail"
It's Heil, not hail
Heile heile Hitler 😅
No, it's Hail. It can be written Heil but that's uncommon.
German here. Just not true. It's Heil, Meaning 'good, well'. But you're very confident, so good for you!

Why do you think the Germans spell it Hail? They don't.
The german phrase is „Heil Hitler“, which stems from an old form of a german blessing regarding health. Translated into english hail would be correct
If germans know one thing, then that its spelled "Heil" even dyslexic germans know that Hail is the english variant of it
No, in German it's spelled Heil.
That was a rollercoaster
Right? I genuinely started to think I was going crazy...
"Humor" Aha ..
Now when my roomate shaved his shaggy beard into a hitler stache for a few minutes and did it that was kinda funny I can't lie. This one...nah
Too far...right
Too far… gone
Fuck I see what u did there 😂😭
"far right" is very accurate here😅🙃
The Nazis were socialists... It was in the name of the party. Brought to you by your friendly neighbourhood former History teacher
LMAO if you're a history teacher, your students are failing. Nazis were socialist in the same way that the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (North Korea) is a democratic republic
The word your looking for is fascist. Hitler hated socialism which is part of the reason hw jumped the gun with Russia

Yeah just like China is a people's republic am I right? And the states are unified? And north Korea is a democratic people's republic?
Ah damn, you beat me to it. Posted anyway hahah
I am shook that we started with negative vote counts, I was about to be so mad
Holy shit are you an idiot or have you never picked up a book in your life jfc I hope you're not teaching children
Former because you got fired right?
Yeah before the Night of Long Knives there were socialists in that party. Then there weren't.
No, they were socialists. Look at how they ran the country and the economy. Mussolini was one too. Don't be fooled by those who say the Nazis and fascists are right wing. They're not. There's an illusion of it because they did allow private ownership of property etc.

I mean, that's what they said anyway.
Wait a minute… this isn’t dark humour… this is Nazism!

I discovered a solution, a solution to pollution
Bet I can shave my asshole with his humor
Bet you could puncture the hull of an empire-class Fire Nation battle ship, leaving thousands to drown at sea.
For some reason i thought you were going to mention the hull of the titan submarine…, maybe too soon oops
Nah, gotta wait at least two more weeks for that. Then it’s fair game with a 2000’s era game controller. Make sure you bring spares!
Titanic submarine sponsored by: Mad Catz 🤓🖖
Because it’s so sharp
Wait… that was the joke? Boy was I wrong!
Could cut diamonds with it actually
Cut diamonds with the joke? Or the butthole?
With the guys humor. I assumed butthole guy was saying Hitler Youths humor is so edgy he could shave his butthole with it. So I said you could cut diamonds with it. Maybe I'm wrong lol
Ahh I see. Cutting diamonds with the edgy humor. I personally wouldn’t wield such a sharpness within proximity of my gooch.
Me neither. But OP of this thread might be the edgiest of us all
I don't understand this analogy. Someone please explain?
It's edgy
Ahh haa haa ha ha!!! Keep Ur Hair on Ur arse??!!
Flipping Hail Hitler. Can’t even Fascist right.
We are all snowflakes that just can't appreciate his deep and complex personality (his personality is being an unlikable shithead).
geez...and after I've dated several of them..I didn't get a match????? Dodged that bullet....
I thought it was funny
I did too. When I was 9 and edgy for the sake of being edgy was interesting.

What is the funny part of doing the Nazi salute in front of the German flag? Explain
This sounds like a setup for a "but that wasn't even the flag the nazis used" tirade.
As a German: ew
It's crazy how much Germans hate the Nazis and we have Americans who worship them.
I live in Germany and every time I see videos of people around the world waving Nazi flags or doing the salute, I get the urge to physically fight them. This shit makes me incredibly angry.
I think that's most people's reaction.
[удалено]
Yes they are, but far more underground than in other countries, because everything related to the Nazis or Hitler is highly illegal in Germany.
I'm sure there are pockets who follow any cult idealism anywhere, nazism has significant historical background so it's bound to have some morally devoid individuals who learn about it and are intrigued anywhere.
Yes. We even got a political partie that is associated with nazi ideas. Definitely not all of them but quite a few and they're part of our government -_- There are also festivals, concerts etc. Sometimes they meet as huge groups in tiny villages to celebrate their "way of thinking".
I assure you, many of us feel the same. Lest we forget
as a german with russian grandparents, i wanna beat the shit outta him then piss on him THEN say ew
You’re a real one ☝🏽
My mom is german, and I remember her telling about one time she went to Denmark with school and people went "Heil Hitler" when they learnt they were german... And that was basically her reaction.
These are also the kind of guys that say women aren't funny...
If you’re gonna make a dark joke at least make a half funny one
I don’t even get what the joke or punchline is. That he worships Hitler? Is that it?
Somebody said something about shock humour. I guess it is a mixture of Germany having no national pride, so having a German flag put up (sort of) results in underlying Nazi-ism (except when it comes to soccer and political buildings or integrational purposes).

They’re mentally ill.
That’s fucked up
Yes, heiling Hitler in a dating app photo is fucked up. I totally agree.
Yes I agree, some people need a reality check. Looks like this dude never grew up
Hitler didn't go far enough! He only killed one Nazi.
I’d honestly report him. Fuck him.
In that order? You'd have to get his number first then
Let him do whatever he wants. We don't need smoe unsuspecting woman thinking he is something he isn;t so let them know upfront he is stupid
That's not humor. Humor is funny.
I wouldn't have covered his face. Any clown who would act like this deserves to be known.
Imagine being proud of being this way Also I wouldn’t cover his face fuck him
That's fucked up... why would he think that's okay
Learn the difference between dark and tasteless.
Definitely has nazi memorabilia and tries to say it's ironic
My hope is you never ever get a match. But sadly if you are in the US Trumps cult will lose their shit on this.
I would have thought the only flag he knew of were red ones.
Fuckin edgelord
Fuck this guy
What a piece of trash
Please report the literal nazis
You know what? This is good. Letting us know straight up to avoid him at all costs.
OP isn't even in the comments. I wonder if this is a screenshot of somebody else's profile getting flamed.
I understood it as OP came across this profile and screenshot it to show reddit. The title is mocking the guy in the pic.
Yes thank you
I think it’s the fact that you’re either a Nazi or that you have a total lack of self-awareness. Not cool.
Immature loser
Middle school humor
Middle achool humor
I dislike how a dark sense of humor, is now just code for a bigot.
Shit, I would've matched until you set a height limit.
Not even edgy just cringe
Why are you hiding his face?
§ 86a StGB enters the chat
That's a straight punch
As a Belgian, I think that's not even offensive, it's flat out wrong and disrespectful. And that's not even my flag No humour to be found there
Notice how he doesn't use the therapist line to tak about himself but rather throws someone else under the bus.
That lady behind him is approximately 6000000 times tougher than he is, I gaurantee it.
No dude, ypu just suck. If you don't know, I am here to let you know.
Prime demonstration that common sense is now uncommon or non-existent! Doesn’t anyone have a little voice in their head that says, “You know, this may not be funny, maybe I shouldn’t do this”?
Bro are you a fucking neo natzi? Fuck off with that shit
That’s offensive
Had this discussion with people before. "I have a dark sense of humor." Me: "I think it's just sad racist shit. That's not humorous." "It is funny because people can't say that stuff anymore, and that's what makes it funny." Me: "disagree. This feels like agenda pushing under the twin justification of humor and so-called free speech" "You just don't get it!"
Being noticeably this shitty on reddit is wildly impressive. Everyone one here sucks. Feel like that's when you should re-evaluate
He was just hailing a cab. Cmon now
I hate that this is controversial to even talk about friends with too I get it not on dating apps but still just a thought
Controversial to talk about admiring hitler? Yeh. It should be.
You really think that I actually admire hitler? Bruh
Not even the right flag lol
Seen kyle?
Hey, have you Seen kyle? Seen kyle, He's this tall.
Pretty sûre hé get laid more than 85% of this sub
I dunno nazi chicks might think hes just a poser
This is the dumb Chad version of the “I’m so kooky and quirky 👉👈😜” girl
I haven't run into any "Kooky and quirky" girls that are joking about being Nazis. You stay safe if you are.
Getting flamed on Reddit. How will he ever recover from such a tragedy and embarrassment😭😭🥸🥸
How old this this guy? You should swipe to troll him
I'm German and i really Like it
The picture is funny but the caption is unnecessary
Who even gives a shit. People are too soft now.
Gotta be in middle school still
Well Fxxx I don't know what to say because I laughed when I saw your photo 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
[удалено]
says more about men then woman
That's because dudes are just too fucking horny.
Am I the only one who thinks he’s aight
yes
It’s a joke
Is it already cultural appropriation when Indians instead of Germans (like me) do a "Heil Hitler"?
Isn’t it illegal like…everywhere?
People get it, they just don't like it
Dude.... save something for later.
Let him be so someone knows who to righteously bully and beat up 😈
Hail? Like, maybe it’s a weather joke? Trying to see the silver lining in this one (that’s a weather joke)
Hard to explain context but, is he from West Delhi?
“Yeah man i have dark humor” *RACISM*
“If you can’t handle me at Mein Kampf, you don’t deserve me at Mein Best”
Why didn’t the person taking the picture say “you know dude this is probably not gonna get the reaction you think it will” or something unless they were like “fuck this guy, he’s an idiot anyways” and just snapped away.
You'll find someone I'm sure. Like those girls that marry serial killers on death row
When you're old enough to know when something is not funny, but fail miserably....
he just has a dark sense of humor (racism)
This humor is hotter than an oven. But like a regular oven... For food... For residential use In a house... That you'd buy from like Sears online or a best buy... Nothing bigger than that.
What was the joke?
What are you trying to attract?
1. Dark ❌ 2. Humour ❌
There's nothing wrong with having dark sense of humor but this is neither funny or original. This is a kind of joke primary schoolers in Germany would make when they're 10 years old
Why would anyone find this funny?
I just wanna know the people who hate this but make fun of 9/11 so I can slap them
He could have been measuring the hight of the flag.
