@blueluma @MattiP well if I had to guess, it was the time magazine edition from July 10th, 1933 https://content.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19330710,00.html

Edit: I was wrong, the article is quite scathing.

@MattiP in france, we have this twice :

  • First about Jean-Marie Le Pen (creator of the National Front, france's far-right party, created with former Waffen SS officer Pierre Bousquet), which was presented in a photo shoot with his dogs.
  • A second time with his daughter and heiress Marine Le Pen, in a photo shoot with her cats.

Show threadAlex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UKFeb 2
@ArtHarg @orange_lux @MattiP I find it more worrying to see a fash/authoritarian with a verifiable pet cat (and those two were legit, I checked it out) as it does mean they've managed to tone down their anger enough for the cats to tolerate them (right wingers generally prefer dogs due to these animals often unconditional obedience)

@MattiP It's difficult to find the original version. I believe it would be in German but Strudel == strudel so there's lots of copy and paste going on for years.
Show thread★Pope Miller the DefondorFeb 2

@MattiP In Germany sometimes we say in a sarcastic tone "Aber Hitler hat die Autobahn gebaut." (But Hitler built the Highways.)
It's the only answer to the (rhetoric) question "Was Hitler completely evil, or did he anything good?"

And the answer anyhow is wrong in two ways. He claimed, that these highways were his own idea, which simply isn't true. And of course he didn't build them himself but thousands of war prisoners and forced laborers.

Show threadDemocracy Dies in DumbassFeb 3

@MattiP My dad was of the same type. Nazi hatred was overwhelming, and as a WW2 vet, he had reason to hate them...

Someone pointed out to him that he drove a Ford and that Ford was a notorious Nazi...He replied "Henry Ford is a good Nazi"

Later I asked him how Ford could be a "good nazi". He replied "The only good Nazi is a Dead Nazi, so Ford is a good Nazi." (I didn't note his use of *IS* instead of *WAS* because when he was alive of course, he was an evil nazi. ;-)

@MattiP was trying to find the original of this story. I thought it was older than sept. 2025. Sept 13 is the first mention I find of this post, but it has no date on the post itself. This is also when this somewhat different article was posted:

https://uomod.com/strudel-recipes-for-fascists-how-the-media-sanitizes-right-wing-domestic-terrorism/

I don't think this was first, but it is close to any mention of the phrase.

If anyone has pre-sept13 mentions of it, I'm interested.
