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.

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.

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.

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

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year 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.

[–] suction@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year 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 42 points 1 year ago

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

Germany's AfD is the second biggest party.

[–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 year 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.

That applies to all G7.

It’s not the spit roast I was hoping for but I guess it’ll have to do.

I guarantee it's much more satisfying; even for you.

Except Israel, of course

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

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

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

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

[–] suction@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Does it? Speak on that more

[–] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

They just back them in the middle east.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago
