I find this more so much more disturbing
It's still the German anthem, it's not especially Nazi.
Are you saying the modern German anthem is the same as the Nazi era German anthem?
More or less. The Deutschlandlied) is the hymn of Germany since before the Nazi era, wasn't changed by the Nazis and still is today. But today only the third stanza is officially the hymn. However, people often sing the first one, which is the most well known.
During the Nazi era, there were a second hymn, which is more directly linked to this ideology.
However, people often sing the first one
Correction: Nazis - and only nazis - often sing the first one.
Are you sure? I may be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time, but I have the impression that people sing easily “Deutschland über alles”.
(For context, I never lived in Germany, but always near the border, so I have sometimes a distorted vision of what occurs there)
The first stanza is not officially banned but it's only really sung by nazis or edgy teenagers.
Okay, thank you both for the correction !
Wow, it is refreshing to see someone recognize being mistaken, accept the correction, and be thankful to have learned something, so thank you as well.
Or maybe by old people accidentally because they learned it from their parents as the normal anthem when they were children.
but I have the impression that people sing easily “Deutschland über alles”.
What the fuck?
Dude, please connect to some Germans that aren't Nazis.
The "Horst-Wessel-Lied", also known by its opening words "Die Fahne hoch", was the anthem of the Nazi Party from 1930 to 1945. From 1933 to 1945, the Nazis made it the de-facto co-national anthem of Nazi Germany, along with the first stanza of the "Deutschlandlied". The "Horst-Wessel-Lied" has been banned in Germany and Austria since the end of World War II.

Yes. But this politician sang the Deutschlandlied, not the Horst-Wessel-Lied.
But this politician sang the Deutschlandlied
Not too sure where this info comes from?
I unfortunately saw the video on a shady French site when I searched for his name (here; you can click, but it's not very interesting and you'll have visited an alt-right website).
Ok I now see what you mean. Thanks for the link, unfortunately for some reason the video doesn't play for me so I can't hear it. Still in the article you linked they say he sung the nazi-era Deutschlandlied version, which includes the 2 first verses. The current version has only the third one.
Yeah I thought that the first stanza, while not official, was still often sung by normal people and not just by Nazis. Looks like I was wrong 😅
Martin Neumaier, The Free Democratic Party (FDP) candidate for the district of Ostalb
Licking toilets is a fetish with no other people involved or harmed. Gross is an understatement in this case but whatever.
Much bigger problem is fdp, those are a highly professionalised bunch of assholes who systematically destroy democracy and sense of community in Germany. They are a threat to the country like cdu and afd.
In one clip, Neumaier was seen singing the Nazi-era German national anthem along with "m*********** rectally with a s** toy."
He also made a mustache from feces while roleplaying as the former Chancellor Adolf Hitler in one more such footage.
That ought to do it
Thank you! It feels good to hear someone calling FDP assholes destroying the sense of community. FDP is working hard on keeping the working class poor, powerless and desperate. Trying to "save money" on the most disadvantaged people is disgusting. This alone is enough reason to disapprove of them.
I'd be more grossed out if I had to sit on a toilet seat that was licked by an FDP member than by someone licking the toilet seat.
Kinda feel like they're burying the lede on the whole Hitler shitstache situation. That seems worse than any toilet bowl and brush licking.
Yes but the amount of people disgusted by a person licking a public toilet is unfortunately higher than the amount of people who are disgusted by Nazis
Well, this is different. In America our politicians lick boots.
Plenty of bootlickers in German politics, trust me.
Hilarious. This made me laugh so much.
Reading the title, I wasn’t sure if it was a sex thing or if he was demonstrating the cleanliness of German public toilets.
Trust me, most German public toilets are disgusting. Railway station toilets aren't even free and a lot of them suck. The ones within a train? Even more disgusting. (If you're lucky enough to find one that's not closed for repair anyway.)
Could be an unusual way to keep cool. I've seen my dog lick furniture...
I want to know, because I'm only human, but I also don't want to click and have this in my FBI guy's file on me…
You gotta be more considerate to your FBI guy. You're probably boring as fuck, give them something interesting to read!
Whatever floats your toilet-bowl?
there's the thing in the tank actually called a float, even 🤪
