Hipster Hitler
Loves the Jews Juice!
The Internet is retarded. Not intellectually challenged or learning disabled or whatever. It is flat out RETARDED and I mean that in the most politically incorrect way possible. How else do you explain catsthatlooklikehitler.com? Yes. It’s a site dedicated to photos of cats. Cats that look like Hitler. And now we have Hipster Hitler, an anachronistic cartoon that re-imagines Hitler as a pouty hipster, complete with ironic t-shirts (Mix Master Race, Death Camp for Cutie, You Make me Feel like Danzig etc.), an ironic bicycle and a constantly annoyed attitude.
It’s kind of creepy perhaps but frankly, anything that ridicules Hitler I figure is pretty good for the Jews. And for mankind. And so I allow myself to laugh at the retardation.
Heh.

You fail to notice that this kind of comics, or the hundred of “dancing hitler” on youtube mean that Hiltler is no more a taboo for the 15-20 something generation, and a whole pedagogy had no effect on them. Hitler has become a source of fun, or of “lulz” as they say.
Are they immune to all the holocaust and hate sensibilization, in which the figure of the nazis and their barbary played a key role ?
Sh’muel: I of course mourn all the lives lost at the hands of this mad man. I have read every major work regarding the Holocaust and yet? I reject your critique. There is nothing sacred about Hitler or the Holocaust. I reject a conception of Jewish identity that emphasizes the centrality of the Holocaust, Hitler and anti-Semitism. I will not be defined by my enemies and I’ll take Hipster Hitler over a dozen shiny new Holocaust Museums any day.
Mine was not a critique, CK. Or it was only in underappreciating the meaning of the “hitler is fun” wave. It’s true that this comic has got a king of absurd humour, for real, but I don’t think he’s being ridiculed. He’s shown as a trendy smart but hysteric art student “with an attitude”.
Next, after being “lulzy”, Hitler will be “cool”. It’s the risk of this dedramatization that frightens me. I’m not sure you can tell a fan of this comic something like “you know he was a bad person”… he will tell you, in the same, smart, angry way of thi “hipster hitler” that old stories are for old people, and that only the fun is important.
Would it be cool if there were t-shirts or comics about 9-11 terrorists? No! Americans would freak out! Maybe they think it’s ok to make Hitler jokes because, like sh’muel says, he’s from another generation that hasn’t affected their lives personally. I wonder if in thirty years it will be acceptable to make 9-11 jokes. Most likely not. It’s not ok to make jokes about America’s slave history. So I guess anything goes as long as it’s not at the expense of Americans. American Jews don’t count.
