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.
