Bo JacobsThe "weird” strategy was laid out by a genius long ago
Zorro Notorious MEB 🪷🪷🪷@bojacobs And by Moishe Horowitz even longer ago. You probably know Horowitz by his stage name, Moe Howard, who was the first actor to play Hitler on film in a satire.
@AlgoCompSynth And Vaudeville as a whole. Plus, on film, this was the core of the Little Tramp schtick.
PeteWhat was the Little Tramp schtick? Don't you mean the Great Dictator?
And Chaplin was not Jewish... in Attenborough's film, Chaplin says "I don't have that honour"
@pete @AlgoCompSynth The Little Tramp was Chaplain's silent character back in the teens and twenties. He was always in relationship with much more powerful people than he was who were usually depicted as fools and childish.
Yes, I know about Charlie Chaplin. I didn't understand what you meant by "Plus". Did you mean the part about about Jewish people making the evil look like fools by playing them? I didn't get the connection to Chaplin's Little Tramp who was neither evil, nor Jewish.
@pete @AlgoCompSynth The plus Little Tramp part is not specifically about Jewish humor, but about how Chaplain designed the character, in part, to be a foil for rich and powerful people who acted idiotically.
