Adolf Hitler Wins Election in Namibia (Yes, This is Real)

[Trollzyn the Infinite]

Being named after Hitler is really bad luck.

Only if you live in a white majority country, apparently.

Let his innocent baby "blues" stare into your soul...

Namibia was German colony for many years.

Yes, but people are still making jokes about his name. That has to be hard.

Most Africans aren’t actually taught about the Holocaust and just know that he was strong enough to make their oppressors ask them for help in fighting him.

I feel like the ones who did go out and punch Nazis should have learned about their crimes and carried that info back home.

Remember, many Nazi crimes came out after the war had already ended. And they also weren’t exactly telling this to Africans. Once they were done, they sent them home. Or rather, dumped them in pretty random places and said “bye!”

Yeah but people make fun of people named Gaylord, too.

I know who this is!

[Sundiata]

That's such an unfortunate name for a man who is part of the same political party to end apartheid.

I was already aware that some African countries did this a little bit. Apparently Trevor Noah knew someone named Hitler when he was younger in South Africa. Can't wait for the Hitler did nothing wrong shit show to start.

Yes! I reas this in his book.
“Go Hitler! Go Hitler! Go Hitler!” they chant in front of Jews.

Yeah but as far as I know there are no brutal, genocidal dictators from human history named "Gaylord".

Maybe it will bring innocence back to the name "Adolf"

Ignorant yokels and unironic Neo-Nazis. In this case, it's probably the former.

Reminds me of a story I heard some years ago about a neo-Nazi couple who named their son Adolf Hitler. I think their daughter was named Aryan Power or something to that effect. There was a major controversy surrounding it after they asked a baker to make a cake with swastikas on it for their son.

Hold that thought.

History has taught us that - no matter how terrible you were - if you famous enough eventually there will be lots of people named after you.

While similar the circumstances are different here. This man doesn't openly embrace the nazi ideology or racism in general.

Congratulations to Mr. Adolf Hitler for winning, I guess

*Sticks out right arm "Go Hitler!"
"How dare you!"
"You can't stop us, Nelson Mandela told us we could do this!"

Now I'm worried for all the kids that will be named after Trump

Yeah I know. Trollzyn was saying that clueless people and neo-Nazis name their kids Adolf Hitler and it reminded me of the Nazi dad story.
