They just back them in the middle east.

The line "Grease the guillotine with the tyrants fat" from Heckerlied seems REALLY fitting here.

Funny how Isreal and Germany switched roles.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

no

Israel didn't exist yet during WW2, it was just a British colony. Now it's an independent state, and still perpetuates colonialism against arabs. No role switched at any point.

Germany is the second biggest supporter of Israel right after the US. They didn't switch with Israel, they are firmly on the same side.

Roles as in genocide

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think the person you replied to meant in terms of persecution. Germany went after the Jews now they're against that ideology. We see the current Jewish area that is Israel persecuting others. Role reversal, you would think they would treat others better after everything but that's not the case!

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

That's fair! Though I would argue that equating Israel with the Jews is part of the problem

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.

Western Germany never really purged Nazis. The CDU was always the Nazi continuation party, starting in 1945.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

That applies to all G7.

Except Israel, of course

Germany's AfD is the second biggest party.

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

Yes, and a parade float will totally change things.

They'll just keep waiting for their trains that are somehow always late despite German reputation for efficiency.

And the biggest party is the CDU which also hates brown people, women and queers.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 days ago

It is the Nazi continuation party.

I don't understand the image. MAGA is cooking Trump? What?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The image is what it is: Trump being spitroasted like a fat greasy pig.

It could be a play on “eat the rich” or a form of tortuous death wished upon him or even an overtly offensive depiction of him. Or even something else.

It’s art, one way or another, and art is for the consumer to wonder about and, hopefully, at.

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

But the fire has "MAGA" written on it. That must be part of the message, does it not?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, probably. Maybe they are the flames of hell, or symbolic of the MAGA movement scorching USian norms, or the fire of hate burning out of control etc.

It can mean what you want it to mean.

Or you can just look at it and go: “Ha ha. Funny.”

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's a parade float, which could be considered a form of play, so...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Does it? Speak on that more
