Miller Lite as Joseph Goebbels

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

I get the Hegseth/Goebbels thing from OP, but what did Miller (beer) do to deserve the Hegseth association?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

hegseth? why bring up hegseth?

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

here's how i remember the faces of my fascist overlords:

  • trump's body looks like it hates him after decades of abuse
  • jd vance looks like someone told him growing a beard would make him more manly, but never told him the eyeliner was undercutting the effect
  • susie wiles looks like she's descended from aunt jamimah's enslavers
  • stephen miller looks like his hair left him because it's wrong to be a secular jewish nazi
  • hegseth looks like he spent $10000s to build a makeup studio in the pentagon
  • karoline levitt looks like all the lying has contorted her face into a twisted visage. we are watching in real time as a new kelly anne conway brood queen is matured
  • rfk jr looks like he has to keep jd away from him
  • peter thiel looks like if pickmeism had a rich, conservative, white gay avatar
  • ben shapiro looks like someone in desperate need of a fist to the face because he wears a kippah while simping for nazis

Stephen Miller is responsible for the current fascist push by the trump admin. He basically orchestrated the whole thing and gave it wings.

Without him, they're all still fascists, but disorganized.

He's been directing the DOJ and is responsible for the majority of the ice bullshit happening, among many other atrocities.

He's the new Joseph Gobbels

Wait what? Why am I reading this for the first time? I thought the border czar was nothing but an immature and unsuccessful business man

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

This isn't the border czar, this is the guy writing the propaganda/speeches (and thereby influencing the border policy) for the ~~fuhrer~~ president

[–] DaTingGoBrrr@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

I didn't know much about him before but I watched a great YouTube video from Some More News recently on who Stephen Miller is

The left one is Stephen Miller, the current director of speechwriting of the White House. You probably know the one on the right.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 46 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I in fact do not know the one on the right.

Joseph Goebbels Reich Minister of (Nazi-)Propaganda

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Because, as the song goes, he had no balls at all?

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm glad someone explained the reference before I got too many downvotes.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

That's why I jumped in. I could see it wasn't going to end well for your comment!

Hitler, has only got one ball.

Göring, has two but very small.

Himmler, is very simm'lr.

And Goebbels has no balls at all!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Now I have the whistling stuck in my head!

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Strangely, it's just as you said, I recognized Goebbels but not Miller, but if you would have asked me before which I would recognize more easily, I'd have said Miller.

It's probably just that Miller is almost always lit directly from the front.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

Miller is more recognized with his Ronco spray on hair.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 37 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I Google Lensed this picture and the "AI Answer" at the top of the page cracked me up, so here it is:

"The image displays a social media post that highlights a visual comparison between images of Benito Mussolini and Joseph Goebbels. The user suggests that a Vanity Fair photographer intentionally took a photo of a person (presumably a contemporary political figure, based on related social media posts) in a way that visually mimics the composition of historical photos of the two fascist leaders. Benito Mussolini was the founder of Italian Fascism and leader of the National Fascist Party. Joseph Goebbels was a German Nazi politician and Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany. The post implies a critical political commentary by drawing a parallel between the subjects of the photos."

[–] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

However, it's not Benito Mussolini on the left.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 44 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I know, it's Stephen Miller, that's why I laughed. Google AI apparently thought, "bald Nazi, must be Mussolini."

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's an understandable mistake.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

also one i think weird stephen has embraced and leaned into

[–] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Also, it's more likely that an unmodified photography of Goebbels and Mussolini exists.

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 9 points 2 weeks ago

I'll be honest, just the thumbnail - looks like Mussolini.

[–] galoisghost@aussie.zone 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wonder how old Goebbels was?

Miller looks a solid 10-15 years older than he is.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

He died at 47, so he never got to be as old as he looks. He looks pretty similar in age in the above and in the top picture on his Wikipedia entry, and that was taken when he was 35. Hate ages you.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

My guess would be Miller suggested it himself and his fans love it.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I thought that was Mussolini on the left for a bit. Had to check the comments
