Is ISIS the new Hitler?

Bipolar Joe · 22-10-2014 4:03pm #1

When making comparisons on the Internet, you used to use Hitler. Hitler this, Hitler that, Hitler so on. Now I'm seeing ISIS being used in the same context fairly often. So, have we done it, AH? Have we finally found something worse than Hitler?

fedor.2. · 22-10-2014 4:04pm

It's true, they're almost identical

bodice ripper · 22-10-2014 4:05pm

there are a couple of million dead people who say otherwise...

biko · 22-10-2014 4:05pm

Not until leftwingers start using it to try to paint another person in a bad light

Gandalph · 22-10-2014 4:06pm

No because Hitler was actually popular before he turned on the world.

Hitler didn't keep changing his name every few months though so I think he'll maintain his position as the fallback lazy reference.

Brand consistency people. It's all about brand consistency in today's market.

Hitler was obviously ISIS with more teutonic logistics skills.

Hitler was so much cooler than Isis......

Mr. CooL ICE · 22-10-2014 4:11pm

Nein. ISIS don't have an ounce of fashion sense.

I'd blame Stalin for a fair few of those deaths.

Laois6556 · 22-10-2014 4:12pm

In Ireland we mostly use the British as our version. Too right aswell as they're the fellas who inspired Hitler!

fedor.2. · 22-10-2014 4:12pm

The ISIS uniform isn't up to scratch either, I mean half um are wearing runners, in the desert, really?.....

BoJack Horseman · 22-10-2014 4:13pm

Is smoking not the new Hitler?

SEPT 23 1989 · 22-10-2014 4:18pm

I won't make a judgement until i see how well ISIS builds a motorway

Tailored epaulets and polished jackboots versus student beards and dusty turbans.

No contest.

Did you ever consider teaching history at University level?

Second hand smoking took at least 5 of them I heard.

No. Maybe I should though, teach everyone about Hitlers influences.

Boom_Bap · 22-10-2014 4:25pm

No hip mustache's, no Hugo Boss suits. ISIS aren't quite there yet.

And plus the whole Adolf being one person and ISIS being a group of peoples.

gordongekko · 22-10-2014 4:28pm

I suppose we will have to wait until they get their first gas bill before we can decide either way.

Well you need to use a turn of phrase which indicates something larger, man. A couple generally means 'two'.

I'm sure given a few years we'll be blaming ISIS too.

Satriale · 22-10-2014 4:41pm

So from now on, what do we call it when somebody calls ISIS on a thread (a la Godwin)?

"Fcuk you, you are worse than ISIS"

" Ooh, Isised in 2 pages, that must be a record"

donvito99 · 22-10-2014 4:46pm

Who is this ISIS?

Shiraz 4.99 · 22-10-2014 4:49pm

I'm waiting for the Islamic State to take over the Space Station then we'll have the ISISISS

Doing handbrake turns in a tank is hardly the Nuremberg Rally

There's safety in numbers

Tell that to six million Jews.

He's the old-new Hitler.

ISIS are fresher and spicier....(just like Hitler)

Duckworth_Luas · 22-10-2014 5:18pm

Hitler is going to go ballistic when he hears he's being replaced by ISIS.

Keitel, Jodl and Krebs will be kicked out as he yells "sie ist ohne Ehre!" or "ISIS are douchbags!"

DarkyHughes · 22-10-2014 5:27pm

More interesting question were the UDA & UVF fighting a Jihad. After all they killed & decapitated members of a different religion just like ISIS.

biko · 22-10-2014 6:22pm

Tbh, no-one can remember the name of whoever is the leader for ISIS.

Tail Docker · 22-10-2014 6:30pm

ISIS are the new Al Quaeda. Al Quaeda was the new bogey-man. Therefore, ISIS are the new bogeyman. Hitler being the really old bogey-man, with a tache. It's all about the bogey.

Hugo Boss need to make them some stylish outfits

If they did,you definitely wouldn't want to be talking to Chris Eubank about current events.

Defender OF Faith · 23-10-2014 7:32am

You are forgetting about some of the Mexican drug cartels that conduct hundreds of beheadings, decapitations & have killed over 57 journalists since 2006

Is ISIS the new Hitler?
