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.
As a German, I think we should just, for one last great hooray, use all our engineering and science skills into building nukes that will reach their target before the other side can even get their's off the ground. Then we should nuke the whole US and Russia, which will make the world uninhabitable. I know I know nobody will win, but that means people like Trump, Putin, Musk, Erdogan also won't.
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.
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.
It was 1 out of 5 people who voted, so 1 out of 2 in the US. I’m sorry, but just that’s just the way things are. Voting turnout matters, but it’s not like the people that didn’t vote would’ve all voted democrat.
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!
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?
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.
The image is what it is: Trump being spitroasted like a fat greasy pig.
It could be a play on “eat the rich” or a form of tortuous death wished upon him or even an overtly offensive depiction of him. Or even something else.
It’s art, one way or another, and art is for the consumer to wonder about and, hopefully, at.
thats a interesting twist on the Dolchstoßlegende - but this time it's not a cowardly lie to kill jews, but a commentary on actually happening politics. And all that because the Ukraine didn't want to fabricate dirt against Hunter Biden for Orange Mussolini
