They just back them in the middle east.
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.
Western Germany never really purged Nazis. The CDU was always the Nazi continuation party, starting in 1945.
Germany’s AfD is the second biggest party.
And the biggest party is the CDU which also hates brown people, women and queers.
It is the Nazi continuation party.
Yes, and a parade float will totally change things.
They’ll just keep waiting for their trains that are somehow always late despite German reputation for efficiency.
The line “Grease the guillotine with the tyrants fat” from Heckerlied seems REALLY fitting here.
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
1.04 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.
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.
Better than our 1 out of 3 here in the US.
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.
That’s fair, I don’t accept its a 50% split, no way. Nit only were there a lot that didn’t turn out. There were a lot who were disenfranchised and couldn’t vote at all.
If we had a two party system in Germany we’d be just as fucked as the US rn but people here aren’t ready to hear it.
Hmm, you could also say that fewer parties means less “protest voting”.
Leading to more non voters which was the main thing that put Trump in office
Death to America then
Painfully true. The people who didn’t vote in protest of Biden/Harris to allow a guy in that would do exactly what they were made at Biden for but far worse is so frustrating. I get it, they weren’t perfect, but damn. Demanding your leaders be better or else we’ll unleash the nazi authoritarian on ourselves is wild.
Yeah I mean he won the popular vote with less total votes than what he got in 2016 where he didn’t manage to win it. It’s wild. But ultimately maybe something like this was inevitable. The US government is extremely easy to dismantle compared to most others since the president holds so much power. And no president would change the system to become less powerful.
The remaining parties are arresting Jews for antisemitism so its worse than that.
?
They are arresting Jews for being against Jews?
Do you mean arresting German Jewish religious folks for being against Israeli Jewish religious folks?
I think the Jewish part cancels eachother out, so it’s just German folks being against Israeli folks.
Protesting Israel in Germany is legally antisemitic even if you are Jewish. Many German Jews have been protesting Israels genocide and were arrested for antisemitism.
Because laws can’t discriminate. The laws designed to protect them are harming them. Ironic.
Everyone else in Europe can be as anti Israel as we like. Why? We didn’t holocaust 6 million Jews.
The issue is equating antizionism antisemetism.
Yes, that’s the issue.
This is a traditional carnival wagon. this does not mean we have a spine.
Who knew World War III might very well be Germany trying to save the world from Nazis.
It won’t be. Our recent elections was like 50+% racist parties
The redemption arc.
Sort of like picolo in dragon ball. I mean it’s the offspring making amends for their father’s transgressions.
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.
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.
Just roll out the fallout
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
Except Israel, of course
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.
The best part of eating the rich is the belly crackling
Username checks out
Would be better with an effigy of elon stood in front of him - with his pants down.
Don’t forget Putin bringing up the rear!
A proper pig spitroast
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?
Action. Stop trying to play nice and talk it through and start burning things down.
Then again it’s easy for me to say this as I am not American. I don’t live in America, and no longer want to visit America.
I’m just a guy who fucking hates that fat orange turd and wishes him dead. Even better would’ve been prison.If I was locked up in a room with a gun and one bullet and there was Hitler and tRUMP inside with me then Hitler would survive. Or I’d shoot Hitler and beat Mango Mussolini with the gun.
It’s nice to see you’re not alone in your thoughts, that the world is crazy not you.
But yeah that’s about it :(
Good sentiment, but I wish it amounted to something.
They’re halfway around the world from the US, outside of IBCM, what else are they supposed to do? It’s up to the Americans to do something.
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!
That’s fair! Though I would argue that equating Israel with the Jews is part of the problem
It’s a parade float, which could be considered a form of play, so…
Does it? Speak on that more
The memory of the smell of broiling pork rinds came to me immediately!
