This meme uses the classic two diverging paths choice template. The left path leads to a portrait of Charlie Chaplin, a beloved silent film comedian who famously wore a toothbrush moustache for his Tramp persona, set against a bright, cheerful cartoon background. The right path leads to a portrait of Adolf Hitler, the infamous Nazi leader who also wore the same toothbrush moustache style, set against a dark, stormy, menacing cartoon background. At the fork in the road, the viewer perspective is a person wearing a toothbrush moustache, choosing which public association they will have with their moustache style. The joke plays on the fact that the toothbrush moustache was once popularized by Chaplin, but is now almost universally associated with Hitler, making wearing the style a strong social taboo, effectively answering the title question by implying the style is still widely considered unacceptable to wear due to the negative association.
