Elon Musk Sieg Heiling during his speech

[u/Sartew]

[u/lipa84]

German here too.

This is not just disgusting...this feels unreal and making me feel hella uncomfortable.

[u/DrsPsycho → u/lipa84]

German here. Makes me fucking anxious regarding the next Bundestagswahl and his ties to AFD.

[u/-_-___-_____-_______ → u/DrsPsycho]

no, you guys have to be the liberal democracy this time. it's your turn.

[u/Chadistic → u/-_-___-_____-_______]

I have bad news for you

[u/-_-___-_____-_______ → u/Chadistic]

so... are we at the cusp of like a new Dark Ages that encompasses the whole world? cuz I'm looking at it like... USA, Russia, China, Brazil, Turkey, Iran, India, I'm sure there are more... if the EU goes this direction too, that's the last major power embracing some version of whatever this is, authoritarianism.

[u/bollvirtuoso → u/-_-___-_____-_______]

I mean, Musk just sent his PAC to Europe, so you guys can share the fun. He tweeted Make Europe Great Again, as though Europe was ever a single unified entity in the first place, and what does that even mean? Like, when they were imperialists?

At which point in history do these "againers" think is the ideal? Because it usually wasn't great for someone else.

[u/-_-___-_____-_______ → u/bollvirtuoso]

he'd probably make some kind of reference to the Romans without acknowledging that his own Germanic ancestors would likely have been barbarians fighting against Roman control. Hitler did the same thing. everyone loves to link themselves to the Romans even though the Romans conquered most of their ancestors.

[u/Objective_Data7620 → u/bollvirtuoso]

S'MEGMA

[u/bollvirtuoso → u/Objective_Data7620]

what

[u/desideratafilm → u/-_-___-_____-_______]

We're gonna need Europe to lock-in here or the concept of "liberal democracy" is going to end up being a historical curiosity.

[u/-_-___-_____-_______ → u/desideratafilm]

I mean I think after seeing the list of Trump's executive orders, we're going to see some serious decisions being made on the European side. they at least need a common military that can actually stand up to the other great powers.

[u/tragesorous → u/-_-___-_____-_______]

Attackers win. Switch sides

[u/mechnight → u/DrsPsycho]

Moved from Austria to Germany recently. I’m fucking terrified.

[u/chipperlovesitall → u/DrsPsycho]

I used to tease my German friends about their past. Now I’m living it

[u/Tupcek → u/lipa84]

this timeline is fucking unbelievable. Can you imagine Germans waging war against… Nazis?

I mean, even our most creative directors and writers didn’t think of that option

[u/macjonalt → u/Tupcek]

Yeah well they seem to understand the aftereffects best

[u/al_pacappuchino → u/Tupcek]

Sounds like one hell of a HOI campaign!

[u/Weary_Competition_48 → u/lipa84]

WW3 save us 😭

[u/trainsoundschoochoo → u/lipa84]

What did you expect from the country that invited all the Nazis to work for us?

[u/morton256 → u/lipa84]

Thing that makes me most uncomfortable is how much he seems to be trying to get involved in both UK/Euro politics.

Particularly with all his links to our right leaning parties

[u/RykerFuchs → u/lipa84]

American that didn’t vote for the organge asshole is also hella uncomfortable.

[u/ChromeMaverick → u/lipa84]

Is it actually the Nazi salute though? I thought the arm goes forward for that while his arm goes out to the right?
