Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in [email protected]. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @[email protected], @[email protected], or @[email protected].

The feelings resulting from hearing and agreeing to the phrase "fuck Nazis":
- Normal people: *righteous anger, vengeful rage*
- CDU politicians: *sexual arousal, raging boner*
Where is that literal one is taking "Fuck Nazis" to?
Is that literal one is taking "fuck Nazis" to where?
A prime example of the so-called "conservative" CDU. Don't ever delude yourselves that they are a democratic party with democratic values.
Christian Democratic Union, no less.
Interesting take on Christianity.
Interesting take on Democracy.
I guess we just need the party to split in order for the irony to be complete.
They are somewhat split, their Bavarian branch is calling themselves "CSU" - "Christian Social Union", yet one more irony.
Also in the recent years, the more open Nazi supporters split off and formed two separate parties, first the AfD, and later, the "Werteunion" - "Values Union". You can guess what their "values" are.
As much as I dislike the CDU and especially their current leadership, there is still a large number of people in there who believe in democratic processes.
Which is why they do support that kind of leadership and tolerate(d) vile individuals like the Guy of the original post and the founders of the AfD and the Werteunion in their mids.
I don't think there's an all-encompassing answer to that. Organizations, parties included, are simply not without their inner contradictions and don't behave as a single organism. We've butted heads on pretty much that issue before. :)
I'll also note that in many cases, the CDU understanding of democracy is maximally representative which I think breeds antidemocratic sentiment. I.e. they want people to vote every four years but that is all they expect voters to decide, and they don't want to be transparent toward voters.
He's in jail already? Or will he be minister of justice next? Just asking!
So... the noose is fine, but the "S" is the problem?
No, everything about his little handiwork was bad, but there are law's against nazi symbolism in Germany. The guy chose to use the short word "Scheiss" for "shitty" and specifically wrote it with the replacement double S instead of the normal ร at the end, just so he could cram in a nazi symbol. So yeah, he went above and beyond to get in trouble.
The other stuff is bad as well, but he could maybe argue his way out of it as laws about it are kinda vague.
We had ample (pun!) precedent of nooses over the past year. Granted, often slung around traffic lights rather than figurines. I don't think those cases actually went anywhere (prove me wrong).
Don't forget the vague implication that he's fucking the doll instead of using it as an effigy for his threat of violence.
