      Translation for those not speaking German:

      Hooray, the butter is gone!

      Goering in his speech in Hamburg: Ore has always strengthened a nation, butter and lard only made it fat at best.

      [Hurrah, die Butter ist alle! Goering in seiner Hamburger Rede: Erz hat stets ein Reich stark gemacht Butter und Schmalz haben hochstens ein Volk fett gemacht".]

      [Hurrah, the butter’s all gone! Goering in his Hamburg speech: “Ore has always made an empire strong; butter and lard have at best fattened a people.”]

      Edit: I just can’t get over how appropriate this is for this time and place. This is exactly how we’d criticize a Republican by portraying a MAGA family. There are so many people fueling their overtime grind with overnight oats to keep the war machine going. I don’t know what else to say aside from, “They should stop that.”

        You could literally use the ai factory with fat people images with this text, it’s spot on.
