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.

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.

Sort of like picolo in dragon ball. I mean it's the offspring making amends for their father's transgressions.

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

1 in 5 people voted for the current nazi party in Germany a couple of weeks ago so... meh

[–] [email protected] 3 points 49 minutes ago

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.

The remaining parties are arresting Jews for antisemitism so its worse than that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 51 minutes ago

Waaaay better.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Better than our 1 out of 3 here in the US.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 37 minutes ago (1 children)

Leading to more non voters which was the main thing that put Trump in office

[–] [email protected] 1 points 34 minutes ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

What I wouldn't give for if only 1 in 5 voted for the nazi party in America.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

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'.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

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 :(

[–] [email protected] 39 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Yea, I can vibe with the Germans...just wish I could read their memes LMFAO

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

You FEEL the memes, not read them.

French train for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 46 minutes ago

I know right, why couldn't they find a German train munching on hay??

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

Username checks out

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

Would be better with an effigy of elon stood in front of him - with his pants down.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 hours ago

Don't forget Putin bringing up the rear!

A proper pig spitroast

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago

And I got downvoted to oblivion for saying Germans know how to deal with Nazis, lol
