The Most Annoying Person You Have Encountered During Lockdown

Maybe I should just shut up and do not comment about this disgusting parody, we do have enough troubles with this lockdown for the morons (me?) to disturb fun threads like this.

But honestly, I have never met parody with the real movie of Hitlers speech by Hitler not by an actor and I like Monty Python sort of humour very much.

Do you know any more movies like Blazing Saddles or Life of Brian, maybe there are some I have not watched yet.

My eyes are glazing over.  Clearly, you are offended.  So far, I still see no reason to remove a parody simply because you are offended.

Clearly, you have zero clue that there is entire sub-category of humor, parodies of Hitler's lunatic rants.

Lemme help you out here:

The best way to undermine dictators is to mock them.

Here is one of my favorite quotes from the early days of the internet, when I used to post on a.r.s. (yep, I'm an old fart).  Much of Usenet was a precursor to today's irreverent chan forums such as 4chan's /pol/ (politically incorrect).

Agreed that ridicule can be a source of self-amusement.  I'd hate to
think that other jokers and degraders are doing so with a grim
determination.  I also see how ridicule can cause alienation and
harden resolve.  It doesn't always, but it can.  What I do not agree
with is your assessment of ridicule's effectiveness in furthering
reform or fostering social change.  Ridicule can't be beat when it
comes to kicking the bejeezus out of an oppressive, idiotic or just
plain thoughtless belief/system, regardless if that belief is
political, social or spiritual.
 Besides, it can be fun...unless the
ridicule is directed towards the spiritual in which case it is taboo
and very bad manners so please don't do it.

A walk down the path of history is crunchy with the crispy corpses of
those who pooh-poohed or ignored the clown car of ridicule when it
pulled-up to the curb.  Who would have thought such a tiny car could
contain so many infectious and revolutionary guffaws?  Satires,
parodies, blue humor, pants to the ground ass-wavings, tea-dumping,
Modest Proposal submiting, 7 dirty word spewing, flag burning, frankly
impolite, just plain rude and improper expressions of ridicule have
either ignited reform, fanned the flames or kicked the corpse to make
sure it was dead.

>And when it is done in public, I don't think most people look

But sometimes it is supposed to be offensive. Sure, sometimes it's
just dumb and sometimes it backfires, HELLO! Mikesmith3, Woody and the
rest of the ars handlers from the Jokers/Degraders/Copyright
terrorists and degraded wog beings of ARS.  Ridicule can be just mean
and ugly but it is also capable of greater things.

Almost all humour of this nature is parodying or mocking the sinister NOT promoting it. I fail to understand how you dont see that!

It depends on the mindset.  Persons with either a statist, an authoritarian, or a collectivist mindset find satire, especially of statist parodies, deeply offensive.  After all, the writer of such parodies is attacking the absurdities of the collectivist institution, and that is not just anathema, it is the ultimate insult to the State.

The more pungent aspect is thus:  can the actors of the State, typically the Legislature (or the Politburo, or the delegates to the Reichstag) grasp that the parody highlights and underlines the internal dynamics where what is being promoted as the general welfare instead acts to entrench and enrich the entrenched power groups?   Or the failings of the collective?  If it can, then there is hope for the society and the State.  If not, then I would argue that the individuals are already suppressed, and the State is the keeper of all non-delegated powers.  And that, my friends, is a bad omen.

@Marcin2 Have you seen Clayton Bigsby, the World’s Only Black White Supremacist. - How do we perceive this, I would love to hear your argument.

His material is very clever as he is clearly being racist to white peckerwood cracker rednecks and inbreds and Chanks, but guess who's laughing both the coloured and honkies.

If you want to be a victim, you will become one.

This pushback against parody and comedy is simply the need to be a victim.

"Have you seen my ratings?" meme with trump standing over body bags... super funny.

You guys even created a "disorder" to protect your feelings from those who disagree with you.

“...super funny”, what are you, 14 years old?

I am betting that in conversation with another human being, you are incapable of constructing a sentence without including the word ‘like’....

Tom as an off shoot let's dive into an "imaginary delicious" rabbit hole - Before Frank Zappa died he asked his son Dweezil to never play the song live, eventually he did check out the first time he played it in London, imagine playing this technically while in tears. Amazing.....

Apologies, I was wrong.  China has zero new cases.  Statistical proof:

Are you sure about that? You think we're the ones with overly emotional responses to people we disagree with? Strange, because Twitter seems to only ban accounts on one side of the spectrum. To state one example.
