Was this an actual event that happened? We see a guy beating a Nazi up. Is that it? Is there something else I'm missing?

    No I'm genuinely confused. You guys posted this in a meme sub. I feel like I'm missing additional context

    I'll level with you. This is from one of the Indiana Jones movies. The main character, Indiana Jones (left) is a college professor/archeologist. The Nazi (right), as in life, are the bad guys and is getting punched by the good guy. The joke is that the Nazi is being referred to as a trump supporter, which isn't entirely inaccurate, however it is a stereotype nonetheless. Not all trump supporters are Nazis and not all Nazis support trump, however if it were a ven diagram, it would look like one circle since the outliers are very few and far between. Hope this helps

    Thanks for an actual answer. I've never seen Indiana Jones and so I was a bit confused. I kind of implied that calling the Nazi a Trump supporter insinuated that they both go hand in hand. Though, I thought there would be a funnier meaning out of this meme. Thanks for taking your time to explain this to me.

    I'm going to assume you are not a troll lol.

    Its a frame from Indiana Jones. A movie about an American archeology professor exploring places for ancient artifacts.

    In the first movie, he is searching for the Holy Grail but is also fighting a bunch of actual Nazis.

    The joke here is that Indiana Jones is an actual professor in these movies. In real life, college professors tend to lean politically left.

    Meanwhile, hes beating the shit out of a Nazi. Modern day Nazis adore Donald Trump and so obviously lean far right.

    So Indiana Jones beating up a Nazi is like a leftie professor beating up and an Alt Right Trump supporter.

    Its not funny since I have to explain it now. But on the 0.01% chance you are not a troll, at least now you know

    Thanks for explaining. I kind of got that some professor was beating a Nazi but couldn't find a punchline or something to it. So it was just as straightforward as I initially thought. I didn't know about Indiana Jones and the whole backstory behind this scene though.

    My dude, you are missing out. Raiders of the Lost Ark and Last Crusade are fantastic. This scene is from Last Crusade.
