1 in 5 people voted for the current nazi party in Germany a couple of weeks ago so... meh

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 70 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

What I wouldn't give for if only 1 in 5 voted for the nazi party in America.

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.

Waaaay better.

[–] suction@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

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.

Who knew World War III might very well be Germany trying to save the world from Nazis.

Sort of like picolo in dragon ball. I mean it's the offspring making amends for their father's transgressions.

[–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 months ago

It won't be. Our recent elections was like 50+% racist parties

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

They would be worried about their own Nazis more if that were the case. I’ll take the help but lord they are not ok right now.

French train for some reason.

[–] suction@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

I know right, why couldn't they find a German train munching on hay??

I'm actually learning German so the memes are now a test of my German knowledge

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 41 points 2 months ago

This is a traditional carnival wagon. this does not mean we have a spine.

[–] biegoditch@lemmy.cafe 31 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Germany's AfD is the second biggest party.

[–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And the biggest party is the CDU which also hates brown people, women and queers.

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.

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

That applies to all G7.

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.

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

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'.

The line "Grease the guillotine with the tyrants fat" from Heckerlied seems REALLY fitting here.

[–] Ilixtze@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

The memory of the smell of broiling pork rinds came to me immediately!

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's a parade float, which could be considered a form of play, so...

[–] suction@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Does it? Speak on that more

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 months ago

Cmon, man....Noes?

[–] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

They just back them in the middle east.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Funny how Isreal and Germany switched roles.

[–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] iamai@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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!

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.
