It’s a short story about a Nazi soldier with a time machine stumbling on the Ukrainian advance and thinking, great, he finally gets to kill some more Slavs and win this time.
It’s just not a good look, and there wasn’t a hint of mockery unless you go five tiers deep in community meta irony poisoning that still just leaves you with a comment favorably comparing Ukrainians to Nazis.
oh, I read it as the stupid nazi being stupid and thinking Germany won. the punchline being that as soon as he goes into the train he’ll realize how wrong he is and have a breakdown.
You read it correctly but I’m hoping he rides the train with his newfound comrades. He doesn’t understand the language but he knows who they are fighting. He marvels at screens and drones as he makes it to the front line. Then dies valiantly fighting fascism.
Yes, that was around my intention. The whole picture/video looks like a comedy sketch, it just inspired me to make up some shit about what a nazi soldier would think looking at it. But as one my my fav teachers taught me, humor is indeed subjective, so I probably should have made the joke clearer at the end (e.g. the nazi soldier getting hit my a car, or arrested by the police for his uniform)
To be fair now I see how it can be (mis)understood that way, especially if e.g. a tankie is looking for a chance to call us nazis. Though I have a feeling that they would call us that regardless. Also posted my “official” explanation, as requested by a mod: https://lemmy.world/comment/11839482
This is why Hexbear calls y’all Nazis, you realize.
Well, that and the paychecks from the Kremlin.
isn’t it making fun of Nazis?

Not doing the Nazi allegations any favors…
