I actually got tired of this meme awhile back, but I have to admit that this one cracked me up. Not to mention being informative.
I always have to wonder if it irritates German speaking people that all of this dialogue is purposefully mistranslated in order to make a joke?
I don't think I really care, I just wonder.
Only proves that revengelicals are dumber and more gullible than shit, willing to believe anything without question, including a simple translation. Puts a light on english speakers who believe in American exceptionalism...no german allowed!
ReplyDeleteIt does irritate German people, especially those who suffered trying to help others and those who weren't even born.
ReplyDeleteFrom having lived one year in Germany, I think that most Germans would find the act of mistranslating totally humoristic. But the Roman Catholics among them (Bavarians, who are also known for their very conservative politics) would hate what Hitler's made to say. The Vatican has a vested interest in portraying Hitler as an atheist. Priests that disobeyed to the catholic hierarchy and who ended up killed by Nazis have been made saints of, in order to hide the embarassing fact that the then Pope had a great appreciation of Hitler.
ReplyDeleteOMG, Hitler knows Sarah Palin? Not surprised. Evil tends to mix with evil.
ReplyDeleteI always wondered why a supposed atheist would have such a hatred of Jews. I'm an atheist and think they're great! They don't try to convert people.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't presume to judge whether the Jews or any other group of people are great.
DeleteBut you're right, they don't try to convert people. Wise rabbis actually make it difficult to convert, because they believe that only Jews of the ancient Hebrew bloodlines are God's chosen people. Also, it's so demanding to be an observant Jew that most Jewish converts default in short order.
Their religious status has caused them great suffering. In turn, they won't hesitate to inflict suffering on those who stand in their way as God's chosen people.
This is binary thinking, but it's the kind of duality that prevails on this blog. There's a kernel of truth in it, but anything with greater depth is discouraged. That's why people like Gasman no longer comment here.
I know a few German people and yes, it bothers them to no end because they had no choice, no way to change things, and neither did their relatives. One came back from visiting, and she saw Hiter's Hideaway.... the man was stark raving mad and paranoid beyond belief. The photos were absolutely amazing. The heirs of the Jewish people sued, and won. He kept the spoils in a mountain, along with an underground bunker. Where he slept was like a stack of Russian dolls to get to with guard stations etc etc etc.
ReplyDeleteI loved sharing this with my, clueless Christian neighbor's.
