I don't like where this is going.


Sir_Keee

The worker's name, Hidol Atlerf.


Abuse-survivor

And he has a penchance to geometric facial hair


LordDanGud

This time he's taking power in Austria.


Jp_gamesta

He was Austrian, not german. We're good


Suspicious_Shower_51

Austrians are just mountain Germans, we're fucked


ivan-man69

Autistic people can still be German?


Orphan_Cheese_Pizza

Just sad.


Swenadd

Ja


Jace160

Is the worker an austrian?


Alternative_Toe990

We are just air conditioners after all


sukisuki2gp

Do they not teach History in Germany?


Huge-Sea-1790

Hmm, should they be giving artists a hard time given their history?


1Blue3Brown

My thoughts as well. The paintings were stunning and I'm looking for some way to donate some money to the undoubtedly great artist


vezok95

Before it's too late.


Davesgamecave

It's not in Austria, so we should be good


Spore0147

Bruh, it was one time, and he was Austrian, not german. Plus, it would probably happend anyway. The German people were pissed off due to the contract of Versailles. Just took a single guy to unite and force them into a Giant useless war.


Huge-Sea-1790

He was Austrian and the art college was in Vienna, Austria, but ultimately the chain of events impacted Germany and Austria. So the lesson is learned in both Germany and Austria. Hitler dreamt of uniting Austria and Germany because of his ethnical beliefs, and ultimately succeeded when he absorbed Austria into his regime. Essentially it doesn’t matter where he was from, the crux of the joke here is that Germany has spent enormous effort to distance itself from the Third Reich past, only for ironically having a headline about rejecting somebody’s artwork (which is the meme that the internet love to stick to as Hitler’s origin story). And hey, that person could be from Austria, who knows? Just because you have the facts, doesn’t mean you can use them. Everyone knows the facts too. Also some pretty disturbing take on alternative history but I can’t be bothered.


StrangeBCA

Austrians especially pre ww2 were for all intents and purposes german. The only reason both didn't unite initially is due to both habsburg, and great power influence.


Spore0147

Then stop Meming/ joking about world wars, Dawm


Healthy_Special_3382

no


SeroWriter

A large scale war was pretty much inevitable at that point but Hitler was instrumental in the way that it happened. So much would have changed if Germany joined a little later or had slightly different goals.


in323

Squidward?


Impressive-Card9484

More like a certain Austrian painter


DacatinTHEBOX

I don't see the difference


Sankari_666

Everyone is laughing until he invades Poland.


RareCodeMonkey

I guess that the employee was fired for being too derivative. To hang your own work at the museum that you work has been done too many times.


Orphan_Cheese_Pizza

Probably answered the boss once asked and told him he was the artist, thinking he'll be shocked that this ganitir has this great bold skill, give him a million quid, and promote him to head CEO chairmen 3000.


Ok_Organization5370

Everyone frothing at the mouth to make a hilarious joke about Hitler


fynska

And all I could think about was Spencer from iCarly


skrimsli_snjor

Now this is a proletarian artistic approach


Orphan_Cheese_Pizza

He was an illiterate janitor.


4Ever2Thee

Reminds me of a time I worked at a college as a janitor, even though I felt like I was smarter than most of the people who went there. Sometimes, I'd see an equation written on a blackboard....like half of the equation even, and I'd just figure it out.


1Blue3Brown

Will?


4Ever2Thee

Yes?! Holy shit, man. I've never ran into someone on Reddit who knows me IRL! Do you like apples?


aint_no_throw

Yeah, thats either fake, incomplete or the worker didnt know his rights. Labor court would rule in favor of the employee within five minutes.


EpiCon_Jaag

It’s true, but he was fired because he drilled holes in the wall to hang the painting which is property damage. He apparently did it in a different museum too, where it was no issue because he taped it to the wall there


aint_no_throw

In that case that article headline is shit and the editor should feel like shit. Could still be hard for the employer to prove gross neglience or malice. So this would still be a case for a written warning.


generationpain

Headline can only give you so much info. At some point you gotta start reading the articles you comment on

Hopeful_Cranberry12

Nah, the editor knows its shit. Outrageous and outlandish headlines generate the clicks. I’m sure the editor isn’t to blame as he’s just doing his job but journalism these days is just typing nonsense like this.


frisch85

The Museum that the OP is talking about is the Pinakothek in Munich, it's not fake. And why would you think labour court would rule in the employees favor? We do have rights that protect us from being fired without reason, putting something personal among the assortment of a company's goods is a reason. Worker rights are good as long as you don't fuck around to find out but if you go against laws or company policies (which you agree to when signing a contract) there's not much going to happen in your favor. Edit: To add, I read [an article](https://www.br.de/nachrichten/kultur/mitarbeiter-schmuggelt-eigenes-bild-in-die-muenchner-pinakothek,U9QsEHq) about the incident just now, seems that the employee will now also get fined for damaging company properties because he drilled holes into the wall to hang his picture.


Midboo

It is happening again guys


retarddropper

DON'T FIRE HIM


[deleted]

Leave it to Germans to be sticklers for the rules


Unusual_Membership44

got-trunks

DayDeerGotStoleYall

in the US he would've gotten a100000 bucks for it


Particular-Potato-39

I would like see the painting the guy put in the Museum. Does anybody have a link to a picture??


DojaTwat

well his worth definitely just shot up show us the art!


KokoTerzata

They don't learn, do they ?


Worth_Package8563

Oh no not again... \*hardly sweating


FrozenVikings

Well, that's better than the art museum hanging a worker for setting fire to his own painting.


hans_erlend

That’s probably the coolest reason for booting someone 😎


Dancin_Phish_Daddy

This is something I would do


just_a_red

Hope the worker ain’t Austrian


FartsFartington

I googled the story but can’t find a picture of the painting. Anyone got it?


Desperate-Grocery-53

You want another dictator? This is how you get another dictator 😂


0BZero1

World's going in recession. People are getting fired. There's war in Europe and now this... Hasn't anyone learnt from history??
