Let me be a grammar Nazi. It's "gewusst". But spot on, yes.

For non-german speakers: "I didn't knew of this". In a reference to Nazi germany when Hitler and the NSDAP publicised a lot of their plans inb4. Just like HF with P2025.

Let me further be a grammar Nazi, technically there is no double s in German. It would be the eszett. It looks like a capital b with a little tail.

Not true at all. Of course we also have a double s (look under Current Usage) in some words. "gewusst" is one of those words.

All this talk of German and Nazis is starting to make me uncomfortable around here...

In gewusst there is no ß. The Eszett only gets written if the vowel before it is pronounced long.

Oh this.... So much of this.

This is like the UK voting for brexit only to start searching "what will brexit do for me" the day AFTER the vote...

It sucks sonbad that dictatorships don't work, because democracy with stupid people doesn't work either and most people are just. So. Stupid...

For that vote, we actually had a whole-ass government produced booklet through the door.

It supported Remain and explained all the shit that would happen if Leave went through.

The plebs saw some lies about the NHS slapped on the side of a bus, suspended all intelligence, and voted Leave. In my eyes the majority was not strong enough to consider changing foundation policy, but here we are.

All the turmoil promised came to fruition.
