1 in 5 people voted for the current nazi party in Germany a couple of weeks ago so... meh
What I wouldn't give for if only 1 in 5 voted for the nazi party in America.
Better than 1 in 2
We had 84ish% participation US had 64%ish(?) Additionally we had 29% for conservatives, which would be the people in the US voting rep eventhough they would not admit to directly supporting Trump. The gap is smaller than it seems, though plurality in the political system (multiple parties, not winner takes it all) relaxes the situation quite a bit.
1.04 in 2
Waaaay better.
Yes, but those people know better than to tell their co-workers or friends (and even families) that they did, because they'd be treated like the fucking imbeciles they are. Compare that to the US where the MAGAs are the loudest, most outspoken fuckos of all who can't stop advertising their idotic evilness with hats, megaphones, and internet opinions. That's a world apart from what is happening in Germany - so far.
The remaining parties are arresting Jews for antisemitism so its worse than that.
?
Yea, I can vibe with the Germans...just wish I could read their memes LMFAO
You FEEL the memes, not read them.
French train for some reason.
I know right, why couldn't they find a German train munching on hay??
Delicious.
Atta girl
I'm actually learning German so the memes are now a test of my German knowledge
This is a traditional carnival wagon. this does not mean we have a spine.
The German government is one of the most suppressive in the western world in regards to protests against a literal genocide happening right now in Gaza. A genocide legally labeled as such by institutions erected as a result of Germany's genocide. Branding wise, Germany is extremely progressive, but in principle and practice, it is extremely sad to see how little Germany has come along.
That applies to all G7.
Germany's AfD is the second biggest party.
And the biggest party is the CDU which also hates brown people, women and queers.
Kinda loses its sting given how many years Germans have been making floats of Trump like this, though. Good sentiment, but I wish it amounted to something.
Not to say it's a waste of time or they shouldn't do this, but I'm just tired, boss.
Here's the thing, tRUMP and his cronies want you to be tired of it. They want you to say 'meh, this does nothing'. They want you to accept it and move on wearily. Once enough people are worn down by it all then it will become normal and accepted.
That is how the convicted criminal and rapist 'wins'.
You're not wrong but I'd also look at it from the perspective of "We've been making statements like this for years now and the situation has only gotten worse, so what else should we be doing?" Status quo isn't really just the result of people giving up, it's about things remaining the same (or worse) even after trying, so what else should be tried?
Except Israel, of course
The line "Grease the guillotine with the tyrants fat" from Heckerlied seems REALLY fitting here.
Funny how Isreal and Germany switched roles.
no
Israel didn't exist yet during WW2, it was just a British colony. Now it's an independent state, and still perpetuates colonialism against arabs. No role switched at any point.
Germany is the second biggest supporter of Israel right after the US. They didn't switch with Israel, they are firmly on the same side.
I think the person you replied to meant in terms of persecution. Germany went after the Jews now they're against that ideology. We see the current Jewish area that is Israel persecuting others. Role reversal, you would think they would treat others better after everything but that's not the case!
The memory of the smell of broiling pork rinds came to me immediately!
And I got downvoted to oblivion for saying Germans know how to deal with Nazis, lol
They just back them in the middle east.
There's no way this is real
There is more than one way this is real.
There's some parade in Germany that uses these kinds of floats but I dunno what it's called
In case you'd like to see more:
Tagesschau – Düsseldorfer Rosenmontag 2025: Jacques Tillys Mottowagen
It is real. You may also want to image search “Lewes bonfire float” to see something similar that happens across the water in England every year.
I'm honestly confused why this wouldn't be real, this is just standard carnival stuff
They do need a very large pine tree trunk. Stick it up the pre-lubed asshole. Then just push until it rips a hole between the legs. Lol. Terrible. I need to go do something. As I understand this week he laid waste to the department of edumakation. Anything else? Nuked the moon? Sunk the Mexican fishing fleet? Killed all orcas? Ran over his own puppy's leg, chopped it off, then ran over the other three? I'd believe anything now.
Germany is a nazi
Confuzed-ius, is that you?
You is a dumb
