    I’m pretty sure this is satire. It was posted earlier without the name obscured, and it’s a comedian.

      You definitely had the ability to invest in the US/UK stock markets from Berlin during the 1920s. The Black Tuesday 1929 Wall Street crash kicked off a shockwave of economic contraction that toppled multiple European governments, Germany included.

      I have to assume that a hypothetical alt-history Hitler who was heavily invested in the DOW Jones in 1929 would have felt just about the same way.

    This dude really looked at fucking Adolf Hitler and said “man, he’d make a great CEO”

    If I were a good writer, I would write a science fiction story that was about a guy who goes back in time and convinces the art school that this Hitler kid isn’t very good yet, but he has a lot of promise, so accept him.

      So I hang around social media with a lot of Nazis (I have a fake white Facebook alt to befriend them and get them banned), and many of them collect prints of Hitler’s art. It’s pretty awful.

      Eh, you’re only delaying the holocaust for about a year that way. Hitler was a talentless hack and he’d never make it in the art world in any timeline.

    I call LinkedIn occupational hubris

    I come from a big accounting firm, so most of what I see are former colleagues who’ve made partner posting about occupational efficiencies and how much financial gain they accomplish.

    Some of them are complete blithering idiots who’ve failed upwards and now think they’re geniuses

    Others are just complete psychopaths who would gladly shiv their own mothers in the neck for a fraction of a step up the ladder. Hell, they would boast about doing so.

    The latter facilitates and nurtures a toxic culture of stabbing your coworkers in the back at every possible opportunity for your own gain wherein saying anything good about a coworker, especially a subordinate, is a sign of weakness and considered sinful.

    But on LinkedIn, they’re all the heroes of their own narratives.

    Funny, if someone asked me that question I would just give them a weird look and slowly walk away; never to speak to them again.

    I guess that’s just me.

    Are we all asphyxiating on the higher CO2 levels in the air? Is this really what humans are like?
