Okay, bro.
If that’s what you really think, I’m not sure there’s any bridging some of the context your missing.
It’s still up on YouTube, just search Pewdiepie Fiverr, you’ll find a number of re-pubs of the video. The original is down. But as is YouTube, it’ll get put back up if someone has it.
What he paid them to do, which is something he knows is offensive. Felix knows it’s offensive, he knows what it means to say that, he’s not an idiot.
I don’t think “Death to all Jews” is offensive, it is offensive. Death to all anyone is offensive, but additional reckless and dangerous when the target is a group that already face discrimination.
You’re really trying to connect two things there that aren’t that difficult to connect.
Dunno that Letterman bit, but Pewdiepie’s video can still be watched.
No, I think it’s offensive that they have been manipulated into doing something by someone who definitely knows what he’s doing.
One of the first things that it does, is that it doesn’t punch down. And in the era that it was made (and who made it - Brooks is Jewish and fought in the war), it was a leading edge on satire. It turned Hitler into a joke every step of the way, from the actors, the performance and the fact that it was a brutal…
Look at the state of the world today. With developed nations embracing nationalism, and nurturing xenophobia. Persecution exists today, and if these leaders grow in power, it’ll get worse for anyone who is not the right race or religion.
Depends on the context, depends if it’s funny. Is that what you figured?
It’s been outlined above, he basically sees how far he can go, and what these Fiverr guys won’t do. And they basically do what he requested them to do.
I’m not on your side, buddy.
You know why it isn’t funny? Because there the senior advisor to the leader of the free world is an anti-semite. This isn’t “going all out”, it’s the norm.
Pussying around? Yeah, cause Jewish people are a real hard target, right?
There’s no shock value in it. That stance has been trotted out for so fucking long. Where’s the shock value in some privilege white fuck, punching down and mimicking anti-semitic slogans of old?
So you can’t explain why it’s funny, and your overall stance is against some perceived censorship.
You keep saying it’s a joke, how? How’s it funny.
Yes, of course. This is exactly like The Producers.
