Well I feel like most Germans don’t joke about Nazis at all in anyway

Jokes about nazis are fine, maybe getting a little annoying because I heard them all, but if you do a nazi salute I’ll punch you.
Metz@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I can guarantee you that is very wrong. In fact we do it all the time. All the time, really. We even make whole comedy series and films about Hitler. And it is a very popular topic for jokes and e.g. stand-up.
Humor is a good way to process the past.
However what the greentext descibes is just low-effort and simply lazy and unfunny. Put a little effort into your Nazi jokes ffs.

What are the odds she’s German and not American with a German grand-aunt, though?

And yet i can tell you, as a German, that i heared more good Hitler jokes than jokes about USA (there are a lot of both)

Yes, that probably makes the situation a bit awkwards.

We don’t really. We also aren’t trying to bring fascism back. At least not as hard as some other places.

Met a guy at a German language meet-up who let me know that I was first person who didn’t ask him any questions about / discuss WW2 or nazis.
He actually grew up in East Germany in the 80’s— also not great, but no one he talked to even knew that Germany had once split. They only wanted to talk about WW2. It made him very uncomfortable.
We got to discuss a lot about American culture and people’s weird obsessions and developed a close relationship. It was fun!

If I had a dollar for every American mentioning Germans/WW2 when I told them I’m Dutch, I would be retired now.

You’d rather they ask you about Anne Frank or the wooden shoes?

That’s weird. Germans are used to that. In my experience it’s especially brits that ask about it.
Every German I know has the answer memorized: yeah, it was terrible but we are a different population now and we are making sure it won’t happen again. Do you want a beer?

We’re in the US. I just don’t think he was used to the amount of extended ignorance, sometimes purposeful.

You mean the ability from C&C: Red Alert? What does that have to do with Germany? It’s a Russian superweapon, and Einstein removed Hitler from that timeline.
