Advertisement for the right wing AfD party in Germany

So they are going to fix the housing crisis by not building any houses but Sieg Housing.

Not the first poster they've made involving Nazi salutes either. I felt dirty just from having to search "AfD poster" in Google Images.

I thought the nazi salute was illegal in Germany

damn, that's not subtle

Can't you see it's a house? /s
- I did nazi that!

It's pretty gross that nazis are willing to sell out their own children to grab power. In character, though.

AfD logo looks like an erected penis

Its also like a Nazi salute

What do you call a dog whistle when it's screeching this loud?

A Was 3000, the loudest speaker in the world capable of producing a sound level of up to 165 dB, which is enough to literally melt the wax out of your ears!
this, when the poster was first revealed it even made it in the news, but there is no bad publicity i guess
a nazi salute

"Aryans" keep calling themselves the master race yet continuously show off the dudes with the most disgusting hairlines.

I'm bald.

Rush Limbaugh taught us all that evil always disguises it's intent by saying it's protecting "the children".

I don't see what the big deal is. This is just a Roman roof shape.

Also the swoosh logo is a sieg heil

Looks like a WikiHow graphic on how to do it, that's crazy

Besides the not so subtle gesture, Nazi propaganda often emphasized an idealized family like this.

Midsommar is an excellent film about exactly how this type of back-to-basics all natural anti-modern vibe can be a vehicle for fascism. I recommend going in without learning more if you haven't seen it, but there is a lot of symbolism, foreshadowing and deeper meaning in easy to miss moments.
- I think there’s also something to be said about fascism as a comfort. There are many people I’ve seen argue that it’s somewhat of a happy ending for Florence Pugh’s character. These also seem to be the types of TERF radical feminists who are more likely to be in lockstep with the current administration based on its treatment of transgender people.
  
  When you have been hurt in that way, burning it all down can make sense. The movie does make you feel comfortable with the deaths of the characters I think - they all very much come across as more “deserving” of what happens to them than is typical in most horror films. I think that’s another amazing aspect of that movie - you don’t feel bad about them dying and maybe that should concern you?
  
  Hereditary is another movie that has so many layers to it. The problem there is that it’s basically impossible to watch more than once to form a proper analysis of it lol
Not a phone or iPad in sight
Down to the shorts and shirts for the boyz..

How did they manage to make the family look soooo white? Even before I processed what the topic of this post my mind recognized how white that family looks. That and the nazi salute they were doing. So weird.

The Nazi salute is worse than weird : it's horrifying. People creating such propaganda are obviously racists ... which is also very bad.

But skin color, would it be extremely white-pink or extremely black, is never weird. You would see a lot of such impossible-to-tan-skin in some Nordic countries 😋 !
It is like they photoshoped out all the healthy red color out of this children faces.

They're trying to normalize the "Sieg h*il" in the public. Very basic Propaganda strategy but highly effective.

And punishable by prison in Germany
- Yeah, watch that go away after the coming election.
  
  Check out https://fragdenstaat.de to see that germany is not as democratic as it seems.
  
  It is "vote hard left or die" in germany now. Otherwise we have more blood on our hands.
- I'm sure if they take power, their first order of business would be to legalize all Nazi symbolism and drop the "we're just run of the mill conservatives" facade entirely.
It's a nod to the Nazis that's ensures them that behind all the denials and propaganda they are still going to do what Nazis do. just like project 2025 and the elon salute.
- A dog whistle?
Sieg what?
- Exactly

Just to be clear about the timeline... This was going around the internet months ago and it is guaranteed Musk saw it before he decided to do his little socially awkward gesture.

"We protect your children"

Some nazi giving a kid an iron cross medal, illustrating use of child soldiers in the Third Reich.
Sometimes they even decorate them!

Fourteen wording pieces of shit.

Maybe the parents are just socially awkward and autistic

please don't. this is the second time i have seen this today. yes, i know it is /s, but it's still reinforcing an association with the potential to hurt people.

lately i have been thinking about the notion that one way to fight fascism is not to use their language. every day i read comments on lemmy that are intended to mock fascists by repeating their narratives, and i fear they are only feeding it.

didn't we learn anything from the fact that internet shit-posting played a part in putting fucking 47 into power in the us?

but yeah. please stop conflating autism with nazism, regardless of what idiot felon-fans say to try to downplay it.
- What other wonders can we blame on shit-posting?
Maybe those are the people my grandfather was killing in WW2
- He was a great man!!

Very aryan family

President Musk recently did a thing too...

I feel like the Facism is in the room with me, doc

Mildly interesring? More like mildly horifying

Mildly?

Gotta admit, that's a clever dog-whistle.

I mean, it's horrifying, but I appreciate the level of guile behind it.

I dunno, "Hey, you two make sieg heils while I take a picture" isn't very guileful, it's pretty much right out there. There's no mistaking the hand gesture.
- You don't appreciate how many people will not "get it" but will still process it.
- but noooo they're making a roof 😭

There are so many fucked up layers to this, like using the term "Schutz," as in "Schutzstaffel."

doesn’t Schutz mean protect? And in the case off the SS doesn’t it mean “guard”?

AfD are neonazis but im not sure the word choice is that odd.
- Yes, Shutzstaffel means "protection squadron." Maybe deliberate, maybe not, but combined with the Nazi salutes and blond-haired, blue eyed kids it's not great phrasing IF you aren't trying to invoke Nazi imagery.
Mein Leben!

The poster actually says "we protect your kids".

Thanks. I only used Google translate as a service to readers 👍

This isn’t a seig heil, it’s a seig home.

Minor correction: We protect your children

Technically is the multiple-you form. So, if you're southern: "y'all's kids"

Is there any news on this ad? It is from September last year. Has there been any statement?

Jesus even the checkmark in their logo is giving the ole Hitler Hiya

Wouldn’t “our children” be “unsere kinder”?

“Eure kinder” would be your (plural) children?

Or in other words, “we are protecting your children”?

"we protect your children"
- Yeah that sounds more correct.
  
  How then would you say “we are protecting” rather than “we protect”?

This might actually be illegal. If you kbnow where this is, go to the police, they might at least be able to order AfD to remove it.

This is from august of last year in Frankfurt (Oder). Police removed them.
- Oh, so it's also in a town across the river from Poland, nice touch
- Surely shouldnt they prosecute the creators?

'Making the family blonder'

Yikes

Move them together until their arms cross and it’s a new ad for X.

Why wouldn’t you do a nazi salute? /s

WUT

Ok i get it, the roof means a house in Capital World Germania. Edit: World Capital Germania.

Не могу я понять зачем использовать такие провокационные символы, все всё понимают, и как бы то ни было это символ маргиналов

I can't understand why such provocative symbols are used, everyone understands everything, and anyway it is a symbol of the marginalized

Sorry, you can't. Baldness is heditary.

Is that AI? Something about how it's hanging and the light on the poster tells me it's AI.

You don't need to fake shit just to say AfD is bad. If anything, lying about the AfD hurts you and helps create a victim narrative for them.

No, it's real. I saw them when they were new.

Here's some news regarding that and legal action (German)

https://www.rbb24.de/politik/wahl/Landtagswahl/2024/anzeige-afd-plakat-wilko-moeller-frankfurt-brandenburg-hitlergruss.html
It's 6 months old.

Reported on by some major news outlets.

AfD has form for doing exactly this kind of ambiguous gesture.
You denied Musk's obvious Nazi salute.

You don't care about the truth or you'd look it up for yourself and find out this is real. Instead, you'll continue to poison the well.
