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.
Germany's AfD is the second biggest party.
Except Israel, of course
I don't understand the image. MAGA is cooking Trump? What?
This is a traditional carnival wagon. this does not mean we have a spine.
It's a parade float, which could be considered a form of play, so...
Does it? Speak on that more
Who knew World War III might very well be Germany trying to save the world from Nazis.
The redemption arc.
Sort of like picolo in dragon ball. I mean it's the offspring making amends for their father's transgressions.
1 in 5 people voted for the current nazi party in Germany a couple of weeks ago so... meh
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 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.
What I wouldn't give for if only 1 in 5 voted for the nazi party in America.
The memory of the smell of broiling pork rinds came to me immediately!
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
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?
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 :(
It’s not the spit roast I was hoping for but I guess it’ll have to do.
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
