No, we don't think Nazis are funny. We think they're part of History, both past and present. And we don't really believe that the monkey has learned, or even can learn, from History. The Germans make a distinction between secular and sacred history. Geschichte is what English calls History: it's a realistic accounting of the goings on in the natural world which includes the geopolitical world too. Its biases are those of the medium which transmits it and the authors who write it. As Dr. Hunter S. Thompson so eloquently put it: "History is hired bullshit written by the winners." Heilgeschichte is Theologically Conditioned History. It is literally: Salvation History. It is the story of the world from the point of view of the bible, or the Koran, or any religious tome which claims to describe Sacred Reality and the position of the natural world and geopolitical world within that Sacred Reality. Darwin's Evolution is Geschichte. Creationism is Heilgeschichte. Nazis were both and we are laughing at those who either never learned this or who have forgotten this. We practice Sartory - an Hegelian synthesis of Satire and Sarcasm. Sartory is not Blasphemy. Blasphemy stems from belief. So we're not laughing at your history or your god - we are laughing at the fact that you believe they are "true."
