I thought the point of a joke was to be funny? What is funny about memeing a Nazi salute?

People are goddamn morons.

They're lying. The joke is on you.

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

Cognitive dissonance, baybee.

I don't think it's lack of intelligence, but people just following the path of least resistance. It's uncomfy to come to terms with the fact that a Nazi is in an extremely powerful unelected position, so obviously he can't possibly be a Nazi and everything is fine :D

Some people are just goddamn morons though.
