    It’s on you to figure out what you’re talking about before you comment.

    At face value it looks like someone comparing the Nuremberg trials to punishing a political opposition.

        It was a great statement to make.

        Don’t have to know shit, no. People don’t have to give you the benefit of the doubt if you don’t want to be informed, either.

        Scene: A meme of a German Shepherd with the caption “Adolf Hitler was a socialist vegetarian and took serious action to solve what he saw as problems in society.”

        SatansMaggotyCumFart: this guy sounds great, we should all be more like Hitler! Go Hitler!

        *Mod pulls pro-Nazi comment *

        SMCF: Why’d you call me a Nazi?!

        Mod: you supported a Nazi.

        SMCF: I didn’t know Hitler was a Nazi. I don’t have to know who everyone is before I comment and that’s a ridiculous statement to make.

        End scene

        That’s true, you don’t have to know who everyone is before you comment. But if there’s literally one person named in the image you’re commenting on, and you’re commenting about that one singular person, you don’t reckon it might be worth just popping their name into a search engine at all? Rather than just going ‘hmm, I don’t know what I’m talking about here but I’m just gonna whack a comment in anyway’?
