I’m not sure how many stock options there were in 19th century rural Austria.

You definitely had the ability to invest in the US/UK stock markets from Berlin during the 1920s. The Black Tuesday 1929 Wall Street crash kicked off a shockwave of economic contraction that toppled multiple European governments, Germany included.

I have to assume that a hypothetical alt-history Hitler who was heavily invested in the DOW Jones in 1929 would have felt just about the same way.

KISSmyOSFeddit ,

In 1929 Hitler was already well and truly…well, Hitler, and hated the “Jewish” stock market.

Not so much that he rejected IBM, Standard Oil, Eastman-Kodak, or Coca-Cola.

If I were a good writer, I would write a science fiction story that was about a guy who goes back in time and convinces the art school that this Hitler kid isn’t very good yet, but he has a lot of promise, so accept him.

BonesOfTheMoon OP ,

So I hang around social media with a lot of Nazis (I have a fake white Facebook alt to befriend them and get them banned), and many of them collect prints of Hitler’s art. It’s pretty awful.

Oh, I know. He had technical skill but no creativity.

MindTraveller ,

Eh, you’re only delaying the holocaust for about a year that way. Hitler was a talentless hack and he’d never make it in the art world in any timeline.

Maybe, but I still think it would be an entertaining story.

It’s sort of like this comic but longer.

Went back in time and killed history’s greatest monster, Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

You would need to teach him the way of the artist statement. His bullshit would be 100 years ahead of anyone else and he would effortlessly conquer the art world. Men would still be wearing those goofy little moustaches and people would rob banks wearing masks of his face.

I’m pretty sure this is satire. It was posted earlier without the name obscured, and it’s a comedian.

state_electrician ,

Correct. It was posted by Ken Cheng: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Cheng

When you can’t tell anymore, it’s very telling. Mirepoix is tasty and the onions are cut very finely in it.

This is Poe’s Law. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law

Poe’s law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.[

Cryophilia ,

I frequently find myself with a shit ton of mirepoix and I’m getting sick of soup, what else can I do with it?

We’ve left the analogy, I’m just looking at a giant bowl of mirepoix in my fridge

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks ,

Dang, was trying to look up a few suggestions and all the results were bullshit articles about what it is, its history, etc.

Off the top of my head, it should work well in fried rice, added to a potato filling for perogies, or a red sauce for pasta.

Cryophilia ,

Ooh I never thought about potato filling. I don’t have any dumplings/pierogies, but I do have potatoes…maybe a shepherd’s pie

I’m gonna use up some of it tonight with bolognese

Germany just invaded Poland. Here’s how it will effect B2B SaaS:

Economically nazi Germany was doing really well, which had no small part in how they managed to raise such an army

DragonTypeWyvern , (edited )

A lie as great as saying Mussolini made the trains run on time. Not that you’re the only one to fall for it.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Nazi_Germany

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mefo_bills

TL;DR total wages rose because people worked longer hours. The economy was forced into, effectively, a war economy upheld with deficit spending (like America was doing with the New Deal, but with tanks instead of roads).

The scam continued with the annexation of Austria, Czechoslovakia, and the stolen wealth and enslavement of the first Holocaust victims paying those debts.

TL;Dr;tl;Dr

They paid for their tanks with IOUs and then stole a bunch of gold with the tanks

Dagnet , (edited )

My comment never at any point claimed it was sustainable or that their economic growth was ethical and somehow beneficial to the population. In the context of this post, that has someone talking about how Hitler would be nicer if he was financially successful I said that because to him he was successful, and to the countries economy he really was. Economic performance has nothing to do with a population’s quality of life, as it can be seen in China, but even so, when compared to Weimar republic it was still arguably better for everyone,which is the lowest bar ever.
I’m not a nazi apologist, none of that makes what they did right or desireable, I’m just pointing it out that nothing would have changed if the likedin’‘s insane post actually came true. Heck, if he made more money he would just spend even more on the army just like your own link says, the economy’ s only purpuse to him was to build an army so they could steal more through conquest.

Linked in is social media for people who like to say, “i don’t use social media.”

LinkedIn is Facebook for people that want to return to the office full time.

Why do people ask him about Hitler so much

Rhynoplaz ,

I’m confident this guy is serious and insane, but if you read it as satire, it really hits home.

BonesOfTheMoon OP ,

The influencers post stuff like this often I guess.

Rookwood ,

It’s definitely satire. The status is the clue. Also a lot of what he says makes him sound like an idiot in a business context.

someguy3 ,

The “profit solves everything” guys.

I’m pretty sure it’s just Bret Easton Ellis.
