I think that literally everyone who you ranted at are aware what nazi stood for, and that it is youth who lack awareness for not knowing that "nazi=socialist" was a right wing talking point, with exactly the reasoning you so angrily and repeatedly gave.
If you knew what poe's law was, why did you get so cross and defensive when I said you sounded like a right winger. If you knew that nazis aren't socialist, why did you get so cross and defensive mansplaining that socialist is in the title? If you were making a lighthearted joke, why are you so cross and defensive when people didn't see the humour? At every stage you're cross and defensive.
You claim to be joking, and claiming had people are dumb and poorly read for explaining that nazis aren't socialist, but the more you rant about not having read a history book, the more you seem to have missed the point that nazis really aren't socialist, when you repeatedly and angrily say "It's IN the nAme, StUpiD"
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.
Tell me exactly where I mentioned socialism without the word "national" before it. I'll wait.
Again, it's not my fault if people are dumb and can't understand that National Socialism (capitalized again) is not the same as socialism.
Oh, and by the way, "it's in the name"? Well, duh? It IS in the name? That's why I kept saying NATIONAL SOCIALISM and not just socialism? Mate, really, it's kind of stupid to explain it, but have you ever heard of jokes? Puns, and the likes? How they play with language? How the nuance in them (that I seem to lack) is where they become funny?
Just admit that you didn't get the joke. It's fine, I wasn't expecting you to. But seriously? I should accept to be told to read a dictionary? Just... wow.
