Oh definitely - both countries are fucked up in very similar ways. It was more the direct comparison between the two PMs. Canada is super racist and sexist - I’ve been pretty surprised by the shit people have said since I moved back a few years ago.

Same. I truly think it is like this pretty much everywhere. Which is depressing.

I’m from Canada and New Zealand so it’s been a weird couple of weeks for me between celebrating Trudeau and the unending horrible headlines from NZ. But, like, we won the Rugby World Cup so who cares about institutional misogyny?

Yes, Mark’s working on something for the morning.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING. THIS IS FUCKED UP.

I have a lot of friends in Houston still, since I used to live there, and all of us are disappointed. I think a big reason for why the vote went so wrong was low voter turnout among millenials and progressives (and a big turnout from conservatives thanks to bigoted scare tactics), which itself is a problem since you’d…

No joke. I’m a family law attorney, and the number of domestic violence victims I’ve represented where the husband is in the military is astounding. And they are ALWAYS the ones who show up in uniform.

Care to elaborate? What were you trying to do, then? Because phrases like “How you choose to reconcile your country’s legacy of systematic murder of six million souls is totally up to you. Looks like part of your process is a zany 90-minute comedy where Hitler wakes up from his bunker in modern day Berlin and tries to…

THIS is why I love Jezebel. When the author misses the mark, so, so many smart, educated commenters show up and politely explain why this movie is popular, why it’s beyond ‘ok’ that they made this movie and how the subtitles didn’t help, nor did the translation. That’s all.

Never forget England’s many, many atrocities. And the complete lack of apologies, no expressions of regret and general rewriting of history that they have effected worldwide.

Seriously though, this whole article is so badly misinformed that I don’t even know where to start, from the wrongly translated quote to the wrongly summarised intentions of this satirical movie right down to using a video clip with completely false subtitles, this whole thing is truly maddening. Now I know how Asian…

This. We have a fucking national football team call the redskins. I don’t think we are in any position to wag our fingers at Germany for having a comedy about hitler.

Exactly. Not only that - but arguably Germany is pretty much the only country I can think of, who has taken full responsibility for the atrocities they’ve committed. There’s no attempt to excuse it, there’s no revisionism, nothing - it’s illegal to deny the holocaust, and from an early age they’re taught about it in…

The close-caption of that clip does not even come close to the actual dialog. It doesn’t make sense at all. I dont know who did this, but you even fail to mention that the second part of the clip is a montage from a completely different movie (‘Der Untergang’), an Oscar nominated film from 2004. If by this article,…

These posts wherein American writers are befuddled by the humor of other countries are kind of embarrassing. Atonement for the Holocaust is practically culturally enshrined in Germany at this point, as far as I know (please chime in to correct me, German friends). This is absurdist and not making light of the…

We live in a world where the Israeli PM hates Muslims SO MUCH that he’s willing to blame them for steering Hitler toward Holocaust.

Thank you for sharing the Shaun King tweets. There’s some MAJOR he said/she said stuff happening, and everyone seems to claim that the girl was uninjured, including the sheriff during the press conference this piece is about, but King says he spoke to her family and she definitely was injured. The sheriff all but…

There are Donna Lemons out there. We all know this.

I’m so glad so many white people are here to make sure that no one calls Amy out on the constant racism in her acts.

America executes the mentally ill and handicapped, as well as those who are slated to die simply because they never got adequate representation. You don’t execute people for being gay? Well your advanced western democracy is arguably slightly less brutal than Saudi Arabia. Great. Congratulations.
