Saw a hilarious video on YouTube last night

[Kaleva]

A young boy was having a birthday party and was opening presents while his dad video recorded it. When the boy opened the present from his grandpa, it was a copy of Mein Kampf . The father berated the grandfather, saying his son wanted the game Mine Craft. The oldster defended himself by saying he thought the boy had said he wanted Mein Kampf .

It's the thought that counts.

[Think. Again.]

1. I don't see the humor in that.

[Kaleva]

2. I'm not surprised

[Ptah]

3. Not even a chuckle?

[Think. Again.]

4. Nah, I don't find efforts to normalize Nazism very amusing.

[Ptah]

5. It's not normalizing Nazism, it's poking fun at an old guy that's hard of hearing.

[Think. Again.]

6. It's "chuckling" at the thought of...

...mein kampf being so trivial that grandparents gift it to their young grandchildren as a silly mistake.

[Ptah]

7. Maybe Mine Craft is unknown to the grandparents.

[Aristus]

8. He wasn't hard of hearing; he was hard of thinking.

What kind of diseased doucherag gives anyone, especially a child, a book like Mein Kampf?

[Ptah]

9. A history buff?

[Think. Again.]

11. Nope, history buffs (that are not nazi sympathizers)...

....wouldn't start a history conversation with a child by gifting them genocide propaganda.

[Think. Again.]

10. Yep, the effect of the joke is supposed to be...

...to minimize the idea of nazi ideology to silliness.

No one questions where a older man who would be aware of the history got the book, or why he even considered giving it to a child instead of having a serious discussion with the child about why he requested it.

No one even questioned why the family would post such a video that exposes the kind elderly grandpa as a nazi sympathizer, a recruiter even.

It's all framed as just a cute laugh but it's intended to nudge nazi ideology and writings into the mainstream.

I strongly suspect the video was staged.

The idea is to normalize nazism.
