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

      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.

        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!

    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.

      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.

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

    The memory of the smell of broiling pork rinds came to me immediately!

      They would be worried about their own Nazis more if that were the case. I’ll take the help but lord they are not ok right now.

      As a German, I think we should just, for one last great hooray, use all our engineering and science skills into building nukes that will reach their target before the other side can even get their’s off the ground. Then we should nuke the whole US and Russia, which will make the world uninhabitable. I know I know nobody will win, but that means people like Trump, Putin, Musk, Erdogan also won’t.

    They do need a very large pine tree trunk. Stick it up the pre-lubed asshole. Then just push until it rips a hole between the legs. Lol. Terrible. I need to go do something. As I understand this week he laid waste to the department of edumakation. Anything else? Nuked the moon? Sunk the Mexican fishing fleet? Killed all orcas? Ran over his own puppy’s leg, chopped it off, then ran over the other three? I’d believe anything now.

    Kinda loses its sting given how many years Germans have been making floats of Trump like this, though. Good sentiment, but I wish it amounted to something.

    Not to say it’s a waste of time or they shouldn’t do this, but I’m just tired, boss.

      Here’s the thing, tRUMP and his cronies want you to be tired of it. They want you to say ‘meh, this does nothing’. They want you to accept it and move on wearily. Once enough people are worn down by it all then it will become normal and accepted.

      That is how the convicted criminal and rapist ‘wins’.

        You’re not wrong but I’d also look at it from the perspective of “We’ve been making statements like this for years now and the situation has only gotten worse, so what else should we be doing?” Status quo isn’t really just the result of people giving up, it’s about things remaining the same (or worse) even after trying, so what else should be tried?

      It’s nice to see you’re not alone in your thoughts, that the world is crazy not you.

      But yeah that’s about it :(
