Yeah, but man it is getting expensive holding all these "Punch Hitler in the Face" barbecues.
Thanks, France.
I took my dog to a 4th of July party last night. And he was cool with all the fireworks going off at the neighbors' houses. They were shooting off some bright, and loud fireworks. He only flinched when a friend set off a small string of firecrackers about 20 feet away from him.
If there's one thing we can be grateful to the Nazis for, it's a social group that everyone is allowed to hate on and mock without fear of offending someone or incurring repercussion. Because even if you do offend some kind of neo-Nazi, it's just like, "Hm. I see I see. Yes, I do understand how punching Hitler in the face may not be something you find funny. Oh, hang on, I'm just having a thought here, and stay with me if you can: FUCK YOU, YOU'RE A NAZI."
He needs to be smoking a cigar.
Much better than my dogs. We kept them inside, they were still terrified out of their minds. One ran and hid in my closet.

I actually read an article on what was the go-to insult/horrible people before there were nazis... apparently, it was the pharaohs who were the ultimate expression of evil on Earth until 1938.

May it be an equally long run for the Nazis.
I can really picture Lord Byron at a poetry reading calling some other guy a 'grammar pharao' after one or two absinths too much!
*Edit for a few more quick thoughts*
Witch hunters and crusaders were servants of god not evil. Evil Emperors weren't mentioned in the bible as much as pharaos. And if people had taken the southern slave owners as standard for real evil than the civil war might have started much earlier perhaps.

Anarchists were the boogeyman for about a hundred years before the Nazis.
The one good thing that came out of Hitler's actions is that today Eugenics is widely regarded as bad. It's making a comeback in the form of prenatal testing coupled with abortion, but as a personal choice per pregnancy rather than a government mandated decision per person deemed to have bad genetic material, which is not nearly as bad as the prior century's thoughts that led to involuntary sterilization of citizens, even here in the US.

Welp, you just addressed everything.
Eh, but not as the "ultimate embodiment of evil." More like how we use "terrorists" today.
You know, it's funny you should say that...
My great-great-grand uncle was nearly killed by an anarchist. Of course, it was found out later that he was actually a rival trunk maker who wanted to take his main competition out, but he was trumped up in the papers as an anarchist. Oh, and I vaguely remember someone using the term "terrorist" in the description of the incident.

So basically, your great-great-grand-uncle was the Jimmy Hoffa of his time?
Samsonite suggests you leave town tonight, or else.
