Naturally no mention anywhere of the thousands of anti-Israel protesters in nearly every major city in Europe and campus in North America openly raising their arms in Nazi salutes and chanting "Heil Hitler!"
What if you have a rising DICK ? The secrete police must look into this with a flash light ,in case it is a secrete salute under cover .and it does have a mustache
A former head of the Crown Prosecution Service, as a humble barrister, as the humble son of a humble industrialist, Prime Minister Rht Hon Sir-Sir-Sir Keir Rodney Charmer-Starmer KC PLC says he is the kind of modest, yet capable, person the UK needs. Oh dear. Is it too late to leave?
Actually, raising both your arms is a form of so called "coded racism", which is far more dangerous than ordinary racism, as it pretends to be not racism. See, the left arm is in this case only raised to confuse you, but in reality, it really is a double Hitler salute: twice the racism!
Depends solely your political positions. If you don’t parrot the establishment it is obviously a Nazi salute, and if you don’t then it obviously isn’t. Easy!
Did you see that picture of Donald Trump, just after getting his ear blown off? Surely it was no coincidence that he raised his RIGHT fist as he encouraged his followers. You know, the Nazi fist.
There appears to be very little that is not, in fact, extreme right wing agitation. My own cat, for example, uses her right paw in much the same way as the extremists.
I accidentally gave a Nazi salute to a neighbour as he drive by last year. I started to joke salute him and then my brain farted and my arm swung out and sideways to hover straight for a millisecond. I said to my husband "I think I just gave a Nazi salute to Kelvin". Next time I saw him I mentioned it in case I'd offended him but he thought it was hilarious, to the extent that everytime he drove by, if he saw me he'd zeig heil with a big beam. True story.
Exactly what is democratic about germany? I keep hearing this word, but I don't understand what it means anymore. Is it some sacred undefinable which nevertheless must always be protected?
Anyone who has lived in a dictatorship- and there are many high functioning ones out there - is familiar with this except that "democracy" is replaced with "national harmony / state security / public safety / civil society" etc ad infinitum. It's patently obvious to the point of being tragic.
Here in the USA, we've discovered that if we simply mentally replace the term "our democracy" whenever we hear it with "our regime," everything makes total sense.
The position of the parents arms in the ideal blonde family stock photo is supposed to suggest the roof of a house, parents protecting their family inside their home. Surely that is unforgivable these days, infinitely worse than the Nazi salute that it is obviously not.
Yes. I think their real offense was being a nice, clean family with a real mother and father. With not a tattoo or odd colored mop of hair in sight! And all blonde! The horror. And three children!! I'm literally shaking!
I deeply sympathize with you Eugyppius. As insane as the American nation has become, it must be very saddening to see your home morph into a fascist dystopia of absurd modernist tyrannies, being equal parts ridiculous and life-destroying. It's tragic, and it makes me sad. I pray for the German people. This can't be the way.
Or here in Canada .Long before any Hitler and after him ,''Tyrant leaders '' have done the same or worse than Hitler . Our ''dear friend Stalin comes to mind .
The insanity of this is by trying to turn every gesture and word into Nazism, they’re going to actually minimize the atrocities that occurred during the Nazi rule. In the long run, they are creating support for a return to open gestures and language associated with Nazism by making their enforcement so patently ridiculous and over broad. Are they really so stupid as to not see that that is the only result? Pretty sure Germany doesn’t have enough jail spaces if a bunch of citizens decided to protest this absurdity by purposefully doing 95% of a Nazi salute. Overwhelm the legal system with absurdity and it shows what a joke the enforcement of this is. This wouldn’t even be such a topic if the left wasn’t so busy wetting themselves about possibly losing power.
And yet in a democracy, when government stops doing right by the people, they SHOULD lose their power and be replaced by politicians more willing to represent the will of the people. Seems to me Germany is not currently a democracy in action but only in name.
Can we get some German prosecutors to focus urgently on the Paris Olympics?
Every gymnastics routine seems to end with an unmistakable double-Nazi salute. That little Simone Biles always did strike me as a fascist. Hitler was pretty short too, wasn't he?
While NATO pours billions into arming self professed Nazis.. must be ambiguous hand gestures are dangerous not swastika tattooed thugs wielding weapons!
Well. Why haven't all those undersized little fascists called "gymnasts" been dragged off to the dungeons for giving them grim-faced salutes of theirs? Honestly. I'm always expecting them to shout out "morituri!" or something. I mean in Old Germanic or something.
I'd offer you refuge from the madness but nobody's given me that lakeside estate yet so we'll just both have to keep hoping.
There's the wonderful phrase in Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Gondoliers": 'when everybody is somebody, then no one's anybody'. For Germany, it should now be: "when everybody is a Nazi, then no one is a Nazi" ... Cheers!
> A mere six months after police investigated AfD offices in Berlin-Pankow for their apparently fascist inflatable snowman, who may not have been merely waving but actually heiling Hitler …
One must wonder, if such an inflatable snowman is a fascist symbol, why the company that manufacturered it hasn't been criminally charged yet.
> Müller has defended herself pitiably, explaining that the movement was part of a typical “Zicke Zacke” dance routine she has also performed on other occasions.

One must wonder, if such a chant is a fascist symbol, why... fuck it, this bit is getting old
FUCK YOU GERMANY AND FUCK YOU GERMANS WHO SERVE THE REGIME. YOU ARE THE REAL NAZIS AND WE'RE GOING TO THROW YOU IN ACTUAL GAS CHAMBERS ONCE YOUR HOLD ON POWER SLIPS FAR ENOUGH

So why isn't literally every German politician already in prison, if your own goddamn anthem is 'incitement to hatred'. WHY HAVEN'T THEY CHANGED IT THEN?
The state song of Maryland (until it was repealed in 2021) had lyrics that called for "spurning the Northern scum" and "breaking the tyrant's [Lincoln's] chains." Yet, Maryland was a Union (northern) state during the civil war, not a Confederate (seceding) state, and 80,000 of its citizens independently chose to enlist to fight for the north, compared with the 20,000 that fought for the south.
In this photo, for example, we see that Sellner is very clearly raising both of his arms.

DO YOU KNOW WHO ELSE HAD ARMS?!?!?!?
Any minute now, German governement will ask the US State dep. to arrest and hand over Mel Brooks for making "The Producers".
Just you wait. Young people today, some of them think it is a pro-nazi movie!
LOL . . . the leather bondage costuming might save him. Isn't there room in the LGBQTAA2+ acronym for that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zpYQJkBQp0
Oh that is funny. hahahahahaaa
Lolol
Now that's shocking.
Naturally no mention anywhere of the thousands of anti-Israel protesters in nearly every major city in Europe and campus in North America openly raising their arms in Nazi salutes and chanting "Heil Hitler!"
That's just free expression of their culture, you bigot!
Also, arresting those people is a little more dangerous than going after elementary school kids.
What if you have a rising DICK ? The secrete police must look into this with a flash light ,in case it is a secrete salute under cover .and it does have a mustache
funny but I could have done without that imagery in my mind
How about an image of millions of murdered with the covid project ?? Does that feel better ??
that's a rather odd response to a joke.
You must be fun at parties
For safety we may all need to shave down there!
They're all pretty universally afraid of the ant-Israel protesters. Total cowards.
I'm a little frightened of them. They are beating people.
A bunch of them interrupted one of our gigs, grabbed the mics. Naturally, we turned off the mics.
There were a bunch of them at the Olympics doing that.
and the olympics 😳
Great point. I think there might be quite a few people who need to explain where they were and what they were doing.
We have a real one in Downing Street, London! https://x.com/DaveAtherton20/status/1819283371614220392

No, luckily. The problem is finding someplace better...
I hear North Korea might be interesting.
I am all for banning arms. You can't raise what you don't have. Thus, democracy shall be saved.
and a mustache I presume?
oh the horrors.
I can't grow such a thing, but I am waving my arms. Is it an issue?
Actually, raising both your arms is a form of so called "coded racism", which is far more dangerous than ordinary racism, as it pretends to be not racism. See, the left arm is in this case only raised to confuse you, but in reality, it really is a double Hitler salute: twice the racism!
Did you notice both of his LEGS were fully extended as well?
QUADRUPLE HITLER
No, I hadn't thought of that. These crypto fascists are really more devious than I imagined!
lololol
Not the real killer from The Fugitive?
Not Mike from Twin Peaks?
:D
Not people who don't let the wookie win?
Is hailing a taxi with an outstretched arm soon to be illegal in Germany too?
I think I answered my own question. 'Hail' a taxi! Scheiße!
Depends solely your political positions. If you don’t parrot the establishment it is obviously a Nazi salute, and if you don’t then it obviously isn’t. Easy!

I had that same thought reading this. I'm beginning to think you Germans are more whacked out than us Americans. In retrospect ... not possible!
Jah.
That depends if you're doing it from a place of love and respect and tolerance 🥰 or hate 😡
Did you see that picture of Donald Trump, just after getting his ear blown off? Surely it was no coincidence that he raised his RIGHT fist as he encouraged his followers. You know, the Nazi fist.
Terrifying.
the Nazi fist lol
There appears to be very little that is not, in fact, extreme right wing agitation. My own cat, for example, uses her right paw in much the same way as the extremists.
I suspect your cat has an intact mind and can think critically. In other words, demonstrably ahead of most politicians.

Please stay where you are, ma'am. The police will be by to pick you up and get details about your neighbor and his whereabouts shortly.

The problems in Germany are not the 'NAZIES ' ,but it's own politicians .
As it is here in America!
Or here in Canada .Long before any Hitler and after him ,''Tyrant leaders '' have done the same or worse than Hitler . Our ''dear friend Stalin comes to mind .
Not a single country in the world with useful politicians.

I’m afraid Germany is all but lost. Your politicians are nuttier than Justin Trudeau.

Politics is stranger than fiction.

So the really important question is, do you think that South Park needs to change their city's flag?
