I think today's German liberals and leftists are both worse at stopping fascism than the people who failed the first time
"We know a thing or two about preventing Nazisim"
-Germans in response to Trump/current US conservatives in general
"This ultranationalist, anti immigrant party which was formed in 2013 is now one of the 3 or 4 most powerful political parties in our government and is still growing"
-Also Germans
We know a thing or two about preventing Nazisim
Yeah... You really did an awesome job preventing that Hitler guy from ever getting any power
The Germans were taught how to be racist by America. A couple decades later, they were taught how to be anti-racist, by America
Sorry Germans, America only knows how to do one of those things
first as a uhh um uhhhh
At least the first time around they had some communists who wanted to stop fascists. Now it's just liberals who passively observe the rise of fascism
nah, they're quietly cheering it on cos at least someone will deal with the "immigrant question"...
Germans every ti —
“Just received my new AfD membership card”
But I didn’t even finish what I —
“Ja, is no problem, I already joined”
Also,

A lot of Germans just have a really weird hard-on for America in general. It's always the most awful theme-restaurant bollocks as well; terrible line dancing music, Buffalo Springfield jackets with frills, Harley Davidsons, confederate flags painted on Porsches, real cinge shit.
Don’t forget how much they dig the Hoff like some national fetish.
And they have a ton of people who love to cosplay as 19th century native Americans.
To be fair, there’s nothing the Germans love more than genocide, they can’t help it, it’s in the Teutonic brainpan

Everyone who speaks a bit of english uses "y'all" these days, especially if their native language has "plural you"
It took me a while to realize this wasn't some shopper loyalty card from Aldi's.
Aldi's nuts
Gottem
Also it's just Aldi, not Aldi's hahahaha
For some reason, pluralization of singular brands is a thing depending on your dialect of English. I won’t state the regions because I don’t wanna accidentally narrow down where someone lives. Although I guess referencing Aldi already does that a bit.
It's actually not plural, but rather possessive.
It's an example (I think) of a snowclone.
You’re definitely right about the possessive thing. I’m not sure about the snow clone. I always thought of it like they were treating the name of the store like the last name of the family who owns it. So it’s like a shortening of, “we’re going down to the Aldi’s store.” As if you’d walk in and Mr. Aldi would be behind the counter.
Here in Australia its pretty common.
Aldi's
Nando's
Domino's
McDonald's
Hungry Jack's
Woolies?
Coles?
...
Others, I'm sure. Where do Australians go? Bottle-o always sounded very sing song in a Tolkien sort of way. There's a kebab place we call "Ararat's", but I don't remember the official name. I sometimes remove the possessive/plural to sound funny (bunning)
You've used a conjunction. Aldi is nuts > Aldi's nuts
Contraction
Oh my god...
Insisting on having an actual physical membership card in 2024 and also making it look like an Aldi loyalty card is an extremely German thing to do.
Afdi's
Average polisci twitter profile
The aldi 2 state solution is funny though. here's a better one though:
that first tweet does seem fair though. that "reallifelore" channel is hot garbage and though i dont know anything about namibia i fully believe that video is 97% waffling about bullshit
I don’t know a lot about Namibia either.
Confidently believing the first answer that comes to mind, when a question is posed, is the height of polisci intellect.
Why, if Namibia is so inhospitable, did the Germans try to colonize it? Why are other deserts relatively populous? Israel for example supports a huge population. Hell even Las Vegas has like 1/4 of Namibia’s population by itself.
Germans didn't just try to colonize it, but genocided hundreds of thousands of people there and the best agricultural land is still owned by settlers until this day and demanded as restitutions by the descendents of the genocide survivors, which may or may not be a reason why German think tanks are running anti-postcolonialism psyops.
France colonized the Sahara. theres minerals and sometimes oil in the desert
any recommendations on channels that do a similar kind of content but aren't hot garbage? used to watch it because the topics and presentation were interesting to me but I eventually I came to the same conclusion about the channel being full of shit
Withered rose = mask off social fascist?
German 19 Still With Her-ing 
Sorry if this is dumb but I don’t get what this means, someone explain for my tiny brain please?
AfD is Germany's major far-right party, and they've been gaining and gaining.
Ah, thank you for the explanation
AfD are fascists that want to exterminate brown people from Germany. Usual Euro way of thought
I kinda hate the Germans.
Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
