HUMORLESS GERMAN reacts to SOUTH PARK ROASTING GERMANY

[@Chrisb.reacts]

I got again a comment too often, I thought it was obvious especially after the last video, but apparently it isn’t: The Hitler was censored not bc of the Hitler but of Hitler and the Heil in Front of it, which you can’t say in 🇩🇪 bc this means you appreciate the Nazi Ideology, you can say the name Hitler in 🇩🇪 as much as you want, although people might stare at you if you run through the town, while screaming „Hitler“. And also of course in Educational or Artistic Context (eg Comedy) it’s allowed, but I did it for YT, an 🇺🇸 Company, to not get blocked.

America is a mockery of nations & built up by monopoly men to ultimately fight & dominate Europe & the world through money/ finance, I wouldn’t put any merit in its morals whatsoever… as an American fond of European history, do not let anyone steal your identity or use your history to control you or make you feel guilty, the media does this even to American caucasians makes them feel extreme guilt for slavery.. Hollywood and western media have spent 100 years making a caricature of their perceived enemies which the common denominator is European ethnic groups. South Park while very funny at times is still centered around Kyle’s world view, as is mostly all shows, the Jewish character is the “moral compass” which of course was never a thought prior to ww2 in much of the world not just Germany.

As a retired soldier, I was fortunate to have been stationed in Deutschland twice. I also medivaced to Germany for treatment from Afghanistan. I really liked Germany (at least the way it was during the Cold War), and enjoyed getting to know the people and explore all of the neat places and things. One aspect of our comedy is off accents and even languages. In one comedy, the puppeteers had Kim Jeong Il speaking Chinese, or a babble that sounded like it. We actually have many people in the US that are native speakers of Deutsch. Allowing the American characters to be ignorant and well off-base is an integral part of the humor. Germans are our cousins and when we founded our country the vote over our national language was very close. English beat out Deutsch by a narrow margin. Auf Wiedersehen! 🎉

There was a British comedy show, “Hallo, Hallo!” I think, set in occupied France during World War Two. One running gag was that they just put on stereotypical accents to indicate what language was being spoken. So the downed English airmen spoke posh English and couldn’t understand the French characters speaking like Pepe Le Pew and if a character was relaying information between the French and the English they would swap accents depending on who they were speaking to and characters could have mutually incomprehensible discussions among different groups that were all in perfectly comprehensible English for a British audience.

The key to enjoying South Park is being prepared to be the but of the joke at any time. But I think in this case, the point is not about Germans or even H1tler. It's about how easily any group can be manipulated and mobilized to do horrible things without even realizing it. This development of Cartman's character is not all that unexpected since he has always busted on Kyle for being Jewish throughout the series. But in this case, Mel Gibson came out with some very antisemitic remarks shortly after the release of the film Passion of the Christ, so its easy to see how this could become a catalist for Cartman to become more blatant about his racism. Personally, I see this more as a bust on Christians than on Germans. They're just using H1tler and WW2 as a language framework to allow this story to unfold. And S.P. did another story that was similar to this, The boys were trying to raise awareness for something positive and they decided to give away free hats. So along with their other posters they wrote the phrase "Free Hat!" It just happens that there was a very bad man named "Hat" who was on death row for killing a cop (I think). Anyway, the boys gained a huge following to their cause because a lot of people thought Hat was innocent and thought the boys were protesting his sentence. Its kinda similar to how this group joins cartman but in reverse.

Of course, coincidentally, there was a political protest of people who believed Hat was wrongly imprisoned, and having seen posters for "Free Hat", mistakenly believed the boys' rally was about getting him released from prison.

German often sounds funny to Americans because there's _just_ enough similarity between German and English for it to sound like a baby learning to speak. Combined with the angry German stereotype, it can have a strong comedic effect. That said, in the US, actual views on Germany are more complicated. It _used_ to be that Germans were considered something like civilized barbarians - the most hot-blooded of all Europeans, always angry and eager to fight. This view, though often referenced in comedy, has become very uncommon. For a long time, it hasn't been how most Americans _actually_ view Germany. Nowadays, Germany is considered something like a former abuser who came to his senses. Like, a man who did terrible things in his past, but has since changed and been forgiven - yet, still refuses to forgive himself. So many Germans seem ashamed of being German. The past is the past; what happened is what happened. It's vital to learn from your past, to always remember what you've done, so that you don't do it again. That said, it's also important to regain self-esteem. It warms my heart when I see Germans being patriotic. Germany needs to never forget WW2, but it's okay to move on. 🇺🇲🤝🇩🇪

I was in college at the time, and the teacher said if you use a translator like google translate you will fail (this was for Spanish a much "easrier" language). Some people did, and they did fail.
