Never underestimate the ability of fascist and conservatives to misread media and to try to appropriate shit critiquing them into somehow something that glorifies them.
Mel Brooks got it right when he mocked nazis in ways that made them look so ridicules that they couldn't appropriate his stuff for their purposes.
That's probably because he fought in WW2, so he knows a thing or two about them.
Pretty sure they meant “ironically”.
Ironically would mean they play it as a joke
Heh heh heh not for pendants like you and me. What was that ~~Jacqueline Onassis~~ ~~Sarah Mclaughlin~~ Michael Jordan 90s song about irony? Total buhubujis.

My entry is Putin having Gruppa Krovi played for soldiers in Ukraine. Gruppa Krovi is a song protesting the war in Chechnya, which was another idiotic war started on lies from Putin, with the sole aim of strengthening Putin politically.
question for Aussies : do they use "The band played waltzing matilda" similarly?
I lived in Australia from 10 years old to 12. I somehow picked up that Waltzing Matilda was a sad song about how shitty world war 1 war. And also that the Brits where shit about it, somehow burning through the lives of their allies. Oh yeah, and now the crippled vet's homeless.
I remember someone explained it to me. And other kids. Because Matilda isn't slang for backpack we still used.
