    Congrats, Amerikkka! You finally managed to achieve socialism! The National kind of Socialism!

    EDIT: Apparently, the joke is not evident enough so I have to explain it so I’m not called a right-winger:

    There is a double reference in the comment:

    I wrote “Amerikkka” with 3 K for the KKK. (First part of the joke) to call them KKK members.

    Then I used National Socialism (notice the capitalized words) instead of just socialism or national socialism (without capitalized words) to reference the name nazis gave themselves, to calll them nazis.

    I hope this clears it up. As people are talking about “nuance” that I seem to be lacking.

              I can call a party “the cumfarts and beer union” and have nothing to do with either, proofs in the pudding, so to speak.

                Nazis called themselves national socialists.

                The magas are now openly nazist.

                If you call the magas national socialists (and not simply socialists) you are calling them nazis.

                The joke is way less funny when you have to explain it.

              So you don’t actually know what socialism is. If you did, you’d be the last one saying the Nazis were using the name correctly.

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism

              Smh. And I quote:

              Socialism is an economic and political philosophy encompassing diverse economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production, as opposed to private ownership. It describes the economic, political, and social theories and movements associated with the implementation of such systems. Social ownership can take various forms, including public, community, collective, cooperative, or employee. As one of the main ideologies on the political spectrum, socialism is the standard left-wing ideology in most countries. Types of socialism vary based on the role of markets and planning in resource allocation, and the structure of management in organizations.

              To misuse names as labels contradictory to substance is a hallmark of propaganda. I don’t fall for it. Just because Nazis want people to think they’re just crunchy on the outside while remaining warm and caring on the inside and pick a name they think will do that for outsiders doesn’t actually mean shit.

              Nuance is important. Learn to look past the name.

                How the fuck do you not see that you are the problem here? This was a very obvious joke about how Nazis named themselves National Socialists. How have you turned this into an argument? What the actual fuck is wrong with people on this website.

                Nuance is important. Learn to look past the name.

                Says the one who was unable to get a joke comment in which I’m calling them “national socialist” and not just socialists to call them nazis (since the nazis called themselves national socialists and not simply socialists).

                You talk about nuance and can’t see that I’m specifically calling them national socialists and not just socialsts.

                Ffs, have you escaped from .ml? You look ridiculous in your defense of socialism when all I did was a joke about nazism.

                Edit: You shouldn’t talk about nuance when you didn’t get the “nuance” on the first place. Notice the capitalized letters in the first comment and not just the name. Nuance is important, so by calling it National Socialism (mind the caps) and not national socialism (mind the caps again) I’m using not the general definition of the socialism but the name nazis gave to their movement (which was, as every name, capitalized). You didn’t get the joke. And that’s fine. But it’s not on me.

                  You sounded like a rightwinger who unironically confuses nazis with actual socialists, and it didn’t help that you started off defending what you said for two more comments rather than admitting you were joking and accepting that of course they’re different.

                    My original comment:

                    Congrats, Amerikkka! You finally managed to achieve socialism! The National kind of Socialism!

                    Notice the three K in america referencing the KKK? And how I specifically capitalized National and Socialism so it’s not just “socialism” but the name the nazis decided to give to their movement by capitalizing both words?

                    Really? A right winger when I’m both calling Amerikkka nazis and reminding them of the KKK? Mate, you didn’t get the joke and are blaming me for it.
