( 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.
