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

Yeah... You really did an awesome job preventing that Hitler guy from ever getting any power

[-] SerLava@hexbear.net 12 points 7 months ago

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

[-] italktothewind@hexbear.net 43 points 7 months ago

first as a uhh um uhhhh

[-] Moss@hexbear.net 28 points 7 months ago

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

[-] huf@hexbear.net 9 points 7 months ago

nah, they're quietly cheering it on cos at least someone will deal with the "immigrant question"...

[-] quarrk@hexbear.net 70 points 7 months ago

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,

y’all

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.

[-] EatPotatoes@hexbear.net 37 points 7 months ago

Don’t forget how much they dig the Hoff like some national fetish.

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago

And they have a ton of people who love to cosplay as 19th century native Americans.

[-] VILenin@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago

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"

[-] D61@hexbear.net 64 points 7 months ago

It took me a while to realize this wasn't some shopper loyalty card from Aldi's.

Also it's just Aldi, not Aldi's hahahaha

[-] Raebxeh@hexbear.net 19 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] ValpoYAFF@hexbear.net 11 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

It's actually not plural, but rather possessive.

It's an example (I think) of a snowclone.

[-] Raebxeh@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago

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)

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

You've used a conjunction. Aldi is nuts > Aldi's nuts

Oh my god...

[-] Goadstool@hexbear.net 31 points 7 months ago

holy shit no one has ever made this joke before lets-fucking-go

[-] ValpoYAFF@hexbear.net 26 points 7 months ago

I'm an innovator

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 29 points 7 months ago

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.

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

[-] quarrk@hexbear.net 35 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] MechanizedPossum@hexbear.net 43 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] Dolores@hexbear.net 18 points 7 months ago

France colonized the Sahara. theres minerals and sometimes oil in the desert

Probably for fancy rocks n shit, or just because they can. Wouldn't be the first time Europeans rocked up and settled in a place that the natives knew better than to bother with. Also, did the Germans really try to colonize all the parts that nobody lives in, or did they do the things Europeans usually do and actually go to where people are already living (in other words, the places that are good to live in) and kill the people who were there so they could live there instead?

[-] TimeTravel_0@hexbear.net 12 points 7 months ago

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

German 19 Still With Her-ing mutti-shining

Sorry if this is dumb but I don’t get what this means, someone explain for my tiny brain please?

[-] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 40 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

AfD is Germany's major far-right party, and they've been gaining and gaining.

Ah, thank you for the explanation

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 19 points 7 months ago

AfD are fascists that want to exterminate brown people from Germany. Usual Euro way of thought
