Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Because it seems to me, in Germany, you're stuck with 2 shit sandwiches, Alternative for Germany or the Green Party.

I wanna hear more about it...

I still think all the time about your description of baltic states + poland as “the stupidity belt”, just so so succinct

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Not just stupidity belt, I like to call it the butthurt belt.

The stupidity belt

I personally prefer "The Nazi Belt"

A long line of fuckups between Charlemagne painting map and Soviets stopping in Berlin.

Then why is Poland a state of mind?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

One of the older polish internet memes is "Russia is not a state, it's a state of mind" based on weird Russian social media. But looking at Poland, it's at best pot calling kettle black (and adding history to that it's more of a black hole calling kettle black) so Poland is a state of mind ever more. Plus i created that account to shower some polish facts on unsuspecting chapo people so Poland needed to be in username.

What has Poland done to be a state of mind? I mean its anti-communist indoctrinated af, but what makes its aesthetics weird anyway?

Existing here is extremely unique, it's difficult to put into words, but things that would be consider abnormal or unacceptable in thr west are on the daily here... We also tend to have very obsolete ways of thinking.

Just send me a video or meme as an example...

Don't forget Caesar Augustus letting that dumbass Varus lead his legions, it had to do with that too.

I don't really think that Roman victory back then would do anything to prevent the rise of Germany as a nation, Rome was simply unable to permanently conquer Germania as the subsequent decades clearly shows. And even if they did managed it, it would probably actually speed things up - note how Germany for the most of their history were disunited.

Technically we're stuck with 7 shitwiches and the US controlling the country.

Unfun fact: The Greens where also in the government during the Kosovo war.

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

Also during the invasion of Afghanistan. Which lead one of my favorite comedians to joke "remember the early greens? "Leave NATO" they yelled. Now we know they meant "sending soldiers further than their predecessors ever got!"

Why am I not surprised at all?

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

Bc. they're the same ones, advocating to escalate war in Ukraine...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Oh, it's Die Grunen...

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

For some reason the name "Die Grüne" reminds me of Alternativet, a Danish political party
