Arbeit macht Menschen frei

( a modern variation of the Arbeit macht frei sign that once stood above the gates to Auschwitz): a phrase meaning, in modern--as opposed to Nazi German--not "work makes free" in Nazi German, but rather "work makes people free", in neo-modern German
although i -- as a Jew of German and Polish descent, and above all a History major, but never as a yidiot-- perfectly understand that the phrase Arbeit macht Menschen frei can, and will be deemed, offensive by most Jews, I have arrogated myself the right (for exactly the reasons previously mentioned ) to re-use this phrase in a somewhat different political/cultural/socio-cultural zeitgeist.

How I would personally use the phrase Arbeit macht menschen frei is somewhat unconventional: I would have to say that "work (even a minimum wage job in the United States in the post 2016 US presidential election worldview) makes people (i.e anti-Trump anarchists shit-disturbers) free (from Obamaganda and incompetently planned and carried out Obamanomics".

The most rational, (atm-at the moment-) pro-civic society action that these immoral and amoral, hedonistic, anti-civics, deplorable, pigvilizing anarchists can take, is to drive yourself away, get a real minimum wage job and get over the fact that their candidate lost; after a hard day's work, these losers, hopefully, wouldn't have the time, money or energy to violently protest and destroy property, thus not taking the rest of civilised society to hell in a hand basket along with them.

Mencho

Achieving this status among friends or enemies is worth the trouble you get in while achieving this. You drink, stumble, smoke, sleep and laugh your way into peoples hearts. You're missed by you're true friends and burn bridges constantly with those you wont miss. Youre more than likely a musician or very artsy. You also have been known to have retard strength and your nickname more than likely reflects this. Your loyalty knows no end and this coupled with your romantic side makes you unstoppable.
