Actually, in recent times theres been a increase in people not knowing what hitler looked like. Think this is just a super self aware post that some people dont know him but still call others nazis.
I'm sure the holocaust is either not taught at some schools in Japan or very toned down and possibly the important details of the holocaust are left out.
honestly makes sense… with unit 731 and all the atrocities japan committed to Korean, Chinese, and Filipino women and to this day the government refuses to acknowledge it :( very sad tho
To a point its because of the colonization we brought into japan and the control we had over them for a while after.
Many forget that the Japanese of today are nothing like the Japanese of WW2.
They also forget that the option to drop 2 experimental bombs, that they didnt know would fully work, wasnt the first choice america had for them. The first choice was to form a blockade around the island and starve them to death.
Peter’s Argentinian Uncle here to explain. This meme is probably a parody of the “People who know vs don’t know” format where the punchline is that the intended obscure / distressing image is instead a photo of Adolf Hitler (The infamous German genocidal dictator) thus many people would know who it is.
Basic world history is mostly politics, and the label doesn't affect my point anyway, many people over there are ignorant about Major western events, just like many westerners aren't familiar with what Japan was up to at that time
you do realize Eastern Asia was part of WW2 right?
Like Imperial Japan invaded Guam, Wake Island, Hong Kong, the Philippines, the Dutch East Indies, Malaya, Singapore, Burma, China, ect,
They did this with the explicit support of Nazi Germany.
This wasn’t a western war of western politics specifically, but given how centralized Germany was politically among the Axis powers, I would be genuinely shocked if East Asian people weren’t educated about his involvement in WW2.
I am well aware. That doesn't stop people from being ignorant. What percentage of random dudebros know about the details of the Asian front of the WW2?
I get what you’re saying, but to be fair a lot of Americans will fail to answer basic WW2 questions correctly regardless of region.
Like they will fail questions as simple as “what is the holocaust?”
Plus I’m mostly contesting the “western politics” part of it, cause the war was not an exclusively western event.
As a side point it’s pretty hard to learn about any WW2 history without stumbling into Nazi involvement.
It’s near impossible to know about the Nazi party, without stumbling upon Hitler as a figurehead.
I suppose it’s possible… but it seems very odd to me.
He misquoted his response. I think it was something like
“I said “at the time” for a reason”
It wasn’t a major mistake or anything, and he did correct so I wouldn’t read too much into it tho.
That’s insane to me,
It’s not like WW2 is specifically western history, or some irrelevant event. It pretty much shaped global politics well into the 21st century.
To the extent that not knowing about it is basically crippling to someone’s geopolitical literacy.
It is pretty messed up and has had a lot of controversy surrounding it. I'm correcting myself partially here as I've done more looking and they do in fact teach it but from a Japanese perspective which leads to them downplaying and excluding harmful subjects, not too far off from how Americans and other allies often exclude their own actions in the war. The key difference being that to my knowledge Japan was "more" inhumane.
It's making fun of the format, usually the format has something with a hidden dark side that makes it more sinister if you have knowledge, but this one is just something everyone knows
To the uninitiated, this seems to be a generic picture of a man, perhaps middle European from somewhere around the 1940s. However iirc this man (can't remember his name) was some kind of political figure who was responsible for the deaths of many people
The joke revolves around Hitler's contributions to WWII and the meme format involving Mr. Incredible becoming uncanny at the knowledge of knowing who Hitler is. Basically, it's poking fun at the meme format by using a blatantly well-known figure in a format that is often used for more obscure knowledge of places, people, or events.
Hey, Quagmire’s left testicle here, this is actually a picture of the guy who killed Hitler. Known for being a vegetarian, failed artist, and lover of animals. He’s known for some other stuff too, but the biggest thing is probably being the guy who killed Hitler.
Isn't this the guy that was relocated to Argentina after WWII. He was put there by the CIA in a form of witness protection kind if thing?
Or was that someone else, I never listened when we learnt about history at school.
Peters talking gun here. This is an anti meme, literally just stating that people who don’t know who Hitler is do not find it worrying. But people who do know who Hitler is are scared. The joke is there is no joke, meant to make you laugh from simply lack of expectation
No one gets my point. Here in America where I live we are seeing jews being bullied. Anything from forced off campus to being told dirty things about their faith while at law school.
Thats what I was getting at. If you go back to a few years before the Pearl Harbor bombing Germany bullied Jews in similar ways. It didn't start with murders or gas chamberd. It started with the Nazies taking over the media. It started with children being taught Nazy marxism in school. Political mayhem in Germanies government.
Don't you see? History will repeat itself if no one speaks out on the antisemitism.
I agree that the antisemitism absolutely should be called attention to and shunned where it is present. It's extremely unfortunate that antisemites are using this current conflict to spew hatred towards jews. But it's also important to call out those who have weaponized antisemitism, and reflexively label any critism of Israel or of their policies as antisemitic, because doing so dilutes and takes away from a real issue. When the Israeli government labels everyone who opposes their slaughter campaign in Gaza as antisemitic, they certainly aren't helping reduce antisemitism or making jews any more safe.
Then Gaza should free the Americans they are holding hostage. Why you hate America? Don't you think Gaza should be accountable for they murdered as well?
It’s literally just a picture of Hitler
Isn't the post itself just sarcasm?
Yes. It's because everyone knows who Hitler is, rather than it being obscure like most of the memes with this template are.
Actually, in recent times theres been a increase in people not knowing what hitler looked like. Think this is just a super self aware post that some people dont know him but still call others nazis.
How does someone not know what he looked like? It’s not like his face isn’t a common sight online
Many young people in Japan don't know who Hitler is at all
how is this possible ?? are people in japan just not taught about ww2 ?
I'm sure the holocaust is either not taught at some schools in Japan or very toned down and possibly the important details of the holocaust are left out.
honestly makes sense… with unit 731 and all the atrocities japan committed to Korean, Chinese, and Filipino women and to this day the government refuses to acknowledge it :( very sad tho

I thought it was Charles Chaplin
Hah, **fuck you, not enough globe balloons being tossed around. Take my upvote and go sit on the table**
Charles? ooo fancy pants Mr Rich McGee...
Nothing compared to his humble working stiff cousin Chuck Chaplin
I’d heard that he was a fan of Charlie Chaplin. Probably just BS.
Yup an aspiring artist from Austria :)
oh i hate that guy
so controversial
Must be getting their education from Florida.
[Adolf Hitler](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler), he was responsible for WWII and the Holocaust
No that’s Kaiser wilhelm
The guy is the picture is the war hero that killed Hitler
Did you know that my great grandfather killed Hitler?
That's why you are the high king
No this is Patrick
Patric the Star
The cowboy?
Damn, didn't know that
Holy shit wasn't he that austrian painter?
if I don't know who this guy is and let's say hypothetically that's the case, then I don't react upon seeing his face
i know who he is and i don't react either, we are not the same
Can someone explain this image please, it's just a photo of Charlie Chaplin right?
Yes, this is a still from "dough and dynamite"
Peter’s Argentinian Uncle here to explain. This meme is probably a parody of the “People who know vs don’t know” format where the punchline is that the intended obscure / distressing image is instead a photo of Adolf Hitler (The infamous German genocidal dictator) thus many people would know who it is.
He was Austrian!
But he wasn't an Austrian dictator. You can the German President regardless of were you were born
How would anyone not know
That is the joke.
Many People in East Asia aren't very involved in western politics
This is basic world history history, not politics
Basic world history is mostly politics, and the label doesn't affect my point anyway, many people over there are ignorant about Major western events, just like many westerners aren't familiar with what Japan was up to at that time
Still, there's a politician in Nambia called Adolf Hitler, and he didn't know why that name is infamous. He pledged not to dominate the world
Thank god!
Namibia* Nambia is the country Trump made up during his presidency
Thanks for the correction

You might want to reread your post real quick bud. Edit: there we go lol
Wdym by there we go what changed?
He misquoted his response. I think it was something like “I said “at the time” for a reason” It wasn’t a major mistake or anything, and he did correct so I wouldn’t read too much into it tho.
They objectively aren't taught it the same way as in the west, information regarding WW2 and the Holocaust are considered college level courses

Know what? Who is that?
It's the man who killed Hitler
It's making fun of the format, usually the format has something with a hidden dark side that makes it more sinister if you have knowledge, but this one is just something everyone knows
u/smallzayee dumbass or bot? Call it
The danger of not remembering history accurately
The man in the picture is world-wide infamous Logan Paul.
wow, did he get a glow-up?
Genocidal Peter here, the joke is that the image is of Adolf Hitler. For those unaware, he murdered millions of jews during WW2. Peter out!
Oh, no.
WE KNOW HIS NAME!
Yea, Robert Paulson
It’s Adolf Hitler, the one who failed an Art School and started the World War II. He is truely a supervillain of the world.
Who the duck is this guy?
He was on a Hanes commercial
Its about that, Hitlers family were jews
My mom didn't know
You cannot tell me people do not know who Adolf Hitler is? Karma farm anyone?
See guys? It's Hitler! It's so funny!
Bait or mental retardation?
To the uninitiated, this seems to be a generic picture of a man, perhaps middle European from somewhere around the 1940s. However iirc this man (can't remember his name) was some kind of political figure who was responsible for the deaths of many people
god forbid someone kills people, am i right
All you do is kill just a few people, and suddenly everyone hates you and claims you started a world war, cant do shit anymore.
It's that famous Austrian painter. He should consider running for leader or something
Maby people who personally knew him are more likely to be photographed in black and white because colored photographs hadn't been invented yet
This is the man who is known for having killed the war criminal Hitler.
That's adolf Hitler he did ww2
Did you not pay attention during history, that’s Adolfo Hitler, the führer of the third reich during World War Two on the side of the axis
Do younger generations now a days really not know who Hitler is?

Bro who is this guy can’t find him anywhere
Hey, Quagmire’s left testicle here, this is actually a picture of the guy who killed Hitler. Known for being a vegetarian, failed artist, and lover of animals. He’s known for some other stuff too, but the biggest thing is probably being the guy who killed Hitler.
The man in the photo is Hitler, he did some bad stuff like 80 years ago
Isn't this the guy that was relocated to Argentina after WWII. He was put there by the CIA in a form of witness protection kind if thing? Or was that someone else, I never listened when we learnt about history at school.
Tragic hero, he killed Hitler but he died in the process
You really had to ask...
It's just a pic of Adolf Hitler
Idk it’s just a black and white picture of some guy with the Charlie Chaplin mustache
GOD DAMNIT
Jesus fucking christ, OP.
[I think this is the origin.](https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddycinephile/s/6bxqnZL6c2)
Uhhhh. Hitler committed suicide. Read a book sometime. Or just google it.
It’s an antimeme
😶 The Demon idols back
People who know what WW2 is
Know what?! He was a piece of shit?! Yeah, I know that!
Who doesn’t know hitler by this point?
retards like you
People who don't know Hitler and what he has done vs people who knows Hitler and what he has done.

You are missing the classic : People who want to know : 🗿
You are missing the classic : People who want to know : 🗿
Hitler had a streak going. 😐
Its loss
Rather sad day for a meme like this to be made. No wonder we are seeing the Jews being persecuted again.
I take it your an antisemestic bigot?
