They like American History X, ffs. There's no winning. I think the only person who ever successfully pulled it off is Mel Brooks, and even he didn't manage it 100%.
Is that really true though? The Great Dictator has Chaplin ranting about the goodness of humanity for like ten minutes and pretty relentlessly mocks Nazis. AFAIK fascists don’t care for it despite the fact that it’s a banger.
