Commentary.

Some people will tell you not to read the comments, but me, I am all about, Oh GOD READ THE COMMENTS BECAUSE LULZ and also not funny anymore.

Nothing is very much fun, anymore.

(Okay, I also kind of love these titles, from the article above:)

New York Times: In ‘Hitler,’ an Ascent From ‘Dunderhead’ to Demagogue — "How did Adolf Hitler — described by one eminent magazine editor in 1930 as a 'half-insane rascal,' a 'pathetic dunderhead,' a 'nowhere fool,' a 'big mouth' — rise to power in the land of Goethe and Beethoven? What persuaded millions of ordinary Germans to embrace him and his doctrine of hatred? How did this 'most unlikely pretender to high state office' achieve absolute power in a once democratic country and set it on a course of monstrous horror?"

The Wall Street Journal: So Many Hitlers — "Hitler, of course, never went away in the first place. Since the immediate postwar period there has been a steady stream of biographical studies of the highest quality. Their successive struggles to make sense of a figure who was as personally inscrutable as he was politically destructive bear witness to the continuing fascination exerted by one of history’s most notorious men."

Don't Call it a Comeback

Greetings and Wilkommen, mien kinder, but no really. It's been a long time. Too long. I've been holding off and holding out and biting my tongue for long enough, but now it's finally hit. The time we've been waiting for, when Godwin's Law gives way to Poe's Law, and people are comparing some of these political fucks to Nazis because THEY ACTUALLY SOUND LIKE NAZIS.

You can pin it down, too. This moment in history is become this:

And so this is us, the Cabaret Kainenchen, here we are for the first time, again. Ain't nothing new under the sun.

And yes, we're going to be making fun of Donald Trump a LOT. And anyone else who manages to look a little bit less like a clown while pushing the same, bad, xenophobic ideas.

Though really, he still seems more like Biff Tannen than Hitler to me. Only time will tell.

Or Michael J. Fox will come in a flying DeLorean and save us all. Whichever.

Godwinwatch: Nazi Bikers LOL.

They're not who you think.

Bicycles are one of the obsessions of Mayor Bloomberg and his transportation secretary Janette Sadik-Khan. Khan is the granddaughter of Imam Alimjan Idris, a Nazi collaborator and principle teacher at an SS school for Imams under Hitler’s Mufti, Haj Amin al-Husseini. The bio of his son, Wall Street executive Orhan Sadik-Khan, frequently mentions the bombing of the family home in Dresden and surviving trying times after World War II. It neglects to mention that the times were only trying because their side was losing.

…

In partial revenge, Khan has made many New York streets nearly as impassable as those of her grandfather’s wartime Dresden.

No, this isn’t a parody.

IT'S TIME FOR EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE!

Reducto Ad Hitlerium with a dash of Godwin FTW.

...To be fair, you goosestepped right into that one.
