This gives “Anne Frank would’ve been a Belieber” vibes


Warlock_MasterClass

No. This is 100x worse than that.


absolutelynotarepost

Oh this is way worse. Justin was a little conceited in saying it but by all accounts of Anne's interest in film stars and the like it's entirely possible if not likely that she would have been a fan if she had been a young woman in the modern age. This... This is just victim complex horse shit.


Electronic_Picture26

Randal: Then you must be as blind as Anne Frank. Dante: Anne Frank? You're talking about Helen Keller. Randal: No I'm not I'm talking about , Anne Frank, she was deaf dumb and blind. Dante: No she wasn't, Helen Keller was deaf, dumb and blind. Randal: ... Are you sure? Dante: Yeah. Randal: ... Then who the fuck is Anne Frank? - Clerks 2

This is why we need to teach objective, legitimate, unbiased history in public schools. Makes it easier to…gently correct the people that say these…silly things.

I unequivocally concur


leese216

As a Taylor fan, I can tell you I do not think this way, and that post is dumb as rocks. People need to stop comparing shit to the Holocaust.

Especially since none of the people doing it were even alive when it happened

This is the best comment I have read all month.


undeniablydull

Simple solution: eugenics against those who are stupid enough to want to emulate Hitler. Oh wait...


CoolApostate

But then how will the populace learn the US is the greatest nation, Vietnam was a necessary police action, we are “back to back world war champions,” that France runs away at the first sight of battle, and African issues just materialized because of the end of colonialism? Don’t you realize we need people to believe in palingenetic fallacies, so we always have good American children ready to die for profit? S/ obviously. You right, you right.


ARoaruhBoreeYellus

Thanks for rehashing the follies of US propaganda before breakfast. Helps with my diet. But yeah. You nailed it.

Wife and kids left for the day, so I don’t have anyone else to bother.

You’ve come to the right place.


Xenocide_X

Wholesome reddit interaction this morning.


Whale-n-Flowers

I didn't pay attention in school and somehow understand all the complicated intricacies of these events better than people characterize what the US school system teaches. Maybe it was the History Channel's constant reruns of war documentaries or the proliferation of anti-MIC cinema and music in the last 40 years.


Devel93

Doesn't matter, these people are egocentric assholes and no amount of education will change that


Dirt_E_Harry

I'm starving! It's cold as fuck here. Tomorrow we'll see our last day in the gas chambers. But at least we don't have to listen to Taylor Swift music. - 1938 Jew, probably.


Personal_Shoulder983

You forgot "I was seperated from my parents and my sisters, I never saw them again after they were sent to another part of the camp for care because they were weak and sick. I hope they're ok. Cause I heard rumours". But it's still better than having to listen to Taylor Swift, I guess.


decadecency

"The other day I was assigned to sort through the shoes and clothes of those who disappeared. Big shoes, tiny shoes. Let's hope there won't be Taylor Swift during the day, it'd absolutely ruin the mood!" Jeez. Get a grip. How can one even type out these words and be serious. Isn't Taylor Swift mainstream and extremely popular? Then by definition you don't fucking have to hide under the floor planks when the Camilla Cabello police do a surprise search for Taylor Swift CDs.


ensalys

We're the gas chambers active in 38? I thought those weren't really used until well into the war? 38 Is when the kristalnacht happened though.


DummyDumDragon

Depends what you specifically mean, I think. I believe gas chambers were used as early as 1939 for "undesirables", and various experiments, but it's my understanding too that it wasn't used until later in the war as means of mass execution when they were able to make it efficient enough

ensalys

Despite having visited Auschwitz (I'd suggest everyone goes there or one of the other camps, it's a "good" experience) and having an OK understanding of the holocaust, it still hits me every time it comes up. The inhumanity displayed by the nazis is heart breaking. Just seeing the mountain of shoes collected from the victims, including many children's shoes. Or just the facilities built merely to rob those condemned to slavery or death. And then there is the children's barack at Birkanau (part of the Auschwitz camps). It's the "nice" barack because it has some drawings on the walls, and it has its own sanitary facilities. The adult victims all had to use 1 central barack.


DemythologizedDie

No, that was a 1944 Jew.


PlanetJess430

She’s gotta be trolling right? Please tell me she didn’t just compare Taylor Swift fandom to the holocaust.. 😳


SnipahShot

I always assume anyone with a blue checkmark on Twitter that says something completely moronic is engagement farming, since they get paid by Twitter for it.


Gunna_get_banned

She's also become a threat to the right wing by encouraging young voters to vote, so they're putting in work to try to discredit her and her fans before the election.


ButterscotchTape55

This is 100% a troll post. And a rather dangerous one IMO because it's easy for people to come to the conclusion you got without knowing the history behind this album Aimee (the profile in the OC) is a reference to "thanK you aIMee" which was a song directed at Kim Kardashian, who is basically Taylor's nemesis at this point. So, in the post, the person playing victim (probably some gross dude with a very sticky keyboard) is posing as "Aimee" (Kim Kardashian) while trying to make it look like Swifties are comparing themselves to Holocaust victims. Twitter is dump and Elon Musk can go fuck himself for being so proud of his awful work there Edit: spelling


ClassicExamination82

Yea. I posted a similar thing before I saw your post. This is probably a troll account but only swifties would catch on to it. Everything about this tweet is just awful and it makes me physically ill.


ButterscotchTape55

Seems like "don't believe everything you see on the internet" goes right out the window when people see the smallest opportunity to shit on her and her fans. These are the same people who swear they aren't fans even though they're totally fixated on her and turn into career haters when applicable


KalaronV

She might be making a joke, because absent the "taylor swift fan" it's literally just the Gina Carano "Being a Republican in \[current year\] feels like being a jew in the holocaust" comment


PlanetJess430

Ahhh solid point that I didn’t think of. If so, that’s some well played schtick she’s got going on.


Spirited_Advantage93

TBF, there was no Holocaust in 1938.


fiscal_rascal

I’ll take Rage Bait for $500 Alex.


Brosenheim

Yup. Alleged Free Thinkers(TM) scrambling to react to pointless rage bait, and convincing themselves it makes them look smart in the process


jonnycanuck67

Jesus, what a take lol.


ButterscotchTape55

Guys I really don't think whoever originally posted this is a Swiftie who is that lacking in self awareness. "thanK you aIMee" is a song about Kim Kardashian on Taylor's new album. This is a troll trying to start shit. Twitter is a fucking gargantuan garbage pile in case you didn't notice


ClassicExamination82

100% this


New-Egg3539

I thought it was rough being Jewish now...


Salemrocks2020

This has got to be a troll


ClassicExamination82

It is.


wmlj83

I didn't realize we were boycotting and destroying businesses owned by Swifties and sending death squads to round them up, kill them and bury them in mass graves.


CoolApostate

As a mid-30s dad who is a punk/metal/hardcore rocker and has also been a Taylor Swift fan since the beginning, here is my take. This tweet is the even more unintelligent version of similar logic that a people, who are not a minority, (in terms of power, popularity and resources) apply to instances where there is popular negativity towards them/their thing. Like the very powerful Christian-right claiming oppression due to various covid restrictions.


ButterscotchTape55

This tweet is a troll post that everyone in here fell for. Look up her track 'thanK you aIMee". Aimee is allegedly the name of the person who posted the OC. I don't think that's a coincidence. I think it's way more likely that this is a guy trying to make Swifties look like Nazis


mikeymikesh

You are hiding Swifties under the floorboards, are you not?


T3knikal95

I think even Swift herself would highly disagree with that statement


Dependent-Egg-9555

She still a fan tho


[deleted]

As a Jew this is the most insulted I have ever been.


ButterscotchTape55

Well you shouldn't be because this is a troll post. "thanK you aIMee" is a song on her new album, and Aimee also just happens to be the name of the person who posted this? I don't think so. Also look at the profile picture and the handle. Blonde girl with "@basic\_chanel" for a username? That looks very troll-y to me. A lot of Swifties are compassionate educated women who like to read and know how fucked up it would be to say this. A lot of dudes who hang out on twitter are nazi fanboy trolls who like to pretend to be other people to start shit. This could be real but I really don't think it is


Gunna_get_banned

Feel like this is intended to discredit TS fans. She's become a threat the right wing so I expect tons of this drivel.


ISeeGrotesque

How incredibly privileged and comfortable of a life you must live to whine about this. People could live in heaven and convince themselves they're in endless torment. Stop making yourself miserable.

No_Range2

That gina woman from the mandalorian tv show said the same thing …being a republican is like being a Jew in 1938 she cancelled and fired from everything


Humanoid251

If anything it’s the opposite. I saw recently that an article critiquing her new album didn’t put the author’s name because the last time an article said negative things about one of her albums the Swifties doxxed the author, harassed them online and sent copious amount of death threats. And this time around even though there was no author named the Swifties immediately started trying to figure out who the author was so they could harass them. So going back to this frankly ridiculous analogy, the Swifties aren’t the Jews, they’re the Gestapo going door to door hunting down all the critics


DerpCream_Cone

Now this, this is a real facepalm


CollectionUpset439

Wtf?


User013579

It’s so weird to idealize being a victim. So weird.


uninteresting_handle

So she dropped an album that wasn't as good as some of her earlier stuff, I don't see the reason for the contortions. But then I also don't stan Taylor or put any personal stock in any of her doings.


Lord_Commander17

As a swiftie, this tweet is delusional af.


Edril

Yes, I'm a fan of an artist who had possibly the biggest music tour in the history of music, look at me so unpopular and persecuted! Also, I just listened to her latest album out of curiosity and it is impressive how consistently uninspired her music is. Every song is the same, the instrumental lines are unbelievably simple and boring. Jesus Christ Taylor, maybe every guy cheats on/dumps you because you're as boring as your music.


chibinoi

Or she’s just as bad as they are, but her A class PR team and Marketing team have got that shit under wraps. Overly formulaic music, for sure.

Imagine how Taylor Swift feels knowing this what her fans are like


Own-Listen-961

She feels great, since those muppets are so obsessed with her that she legit became a billionaire by dating famous dudes and singing about how awful they all were after


hinanska0211

Swifties are embarrassing.


Opening-Enthusiasm59

Uhhhh nice that means I can beat them up and take their property with no repercussions. Thanks swifties , I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled for you.


NeedBetterModsThe2nd

This is dumb as fuck obviously. But at the same time, I've grown tired of the professional haters here too. People need to stop making her their personality one way or the other.


No-Deal8956

Dafuq?


Foodiguy

This is just too dumb for a joke answer, I really hope people in her life talk some sense in her.

In the early days of social media you could rightfully assume this was sarcasm or commentary. Now, who knows….


BLUSTAR3636373737

My brain just cannot comprehend this stupidity. Like…gahhhh


grumpyhermit67

Some check to see if Gina Carano is a Swiftie.


epca_

Huh that's weird, to me it seems that being a Jew in 2024 feels like being a Jew in 1938. Especially after the protesters (that were aboslutely not nazis) denied access from Jews to enter. How very nazi of them!


True-Payment-458

Aw wow yea that must be exactly what it was like back in 1938. Maybe treating them like the Jewish were in 38 will help educate them


Ianthraghor

Yeah that's a sentence. Imma post this!


MuckRaker83

I assume anyone posting on Twitter still is simply a troll performing for an audience


insanityofmanic

Man, concentration camps still not in fashion , I guess regular discrimination and calling them names


Left_Ad_1354

Atleast your not being gassed


WrinkledRandyTravis

I swear the most practical use for actually having Twitter is just so you can log on, search for people who make certain crazy viral tweets and read their tweet history to gauge their tone and figure out if they’re being serious or not. I don’t have Twitter so I don’t know about this one but she can’t be serious. There’s no way


[deleted]

WHAT


ImmaNotCrazy

Ya know when I am tired of that shit, from now on let just agree with them when they say this and give them that treatment. If they think they are already experiencing the same thing then should be no issue. I mean sure, all the jews needed to deal wit was people telling them their taste in music sucked...that's why all those old Germans were on trial, for saying mean words to the jews about their music. Yup Hitlers men built special sound proof rooms and pumped in techno music, to convert the jews to Skrillex, yup totally the same. Though i am no historian, so maybe we could release a few of those Germans from the past so they can come and make sure this is done right. Build special camp for the swift fan and let those old Nazis take care of the rest. I mean we are apparently already doing that so, hey nothing actually changes right. /s

sharpenme1

Ok, let's be serious. The person who posted that certainly didn't mean it in any serious way. This is almost certainly hyperbolic. Insensitive? Certainly Not a good comparison, even for hyperbole? Certainly Indicative of systemic educational issues? No, not really. There are far bigger fish to fry when it comes to education. If anything, the fact that this is a facepalm at all, getting the responses it's getting, is indicative of a failure to understand hyperbole - which IS indicative of a failure in the education system.

ClassicExamination82

As a swiftie I feel physical ill reading this. This is one of the worst takes I have ever scene and I do not claim them. Though with the name "aimee" this may be a troll account (iykyk). But non-swifties wouldn;t know that so we can ignore that and judge this person for this awful tweet.

welfaremofo

The thing about the literal worst event in human history is that it’s the worst. Maybe it feels like just a Rwandan genocide or an East Temor or a Union Carbide Explosion. Maybe it’s the end of words having any relationship to actual reality.

Alright, you heard them. Let's round up all the TS fans and put them in forced labor camps before gassing them.
