This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.

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?

Yes, that probably makes the situation a bit awkward.

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