      Be grateful that you can’t read German twitter

      The amount of Israel worship among self-described communists would activate the school shooter gene in US leftists

      Edit: I’ve said before that the reason why the entire world can dunk on the US and the UK is because everyone understands what you’re saying at all times. Nobody outside of Sweden can dunk on unhinged ramblings of random Swedes in TV interviews, because their interviews are in Swedish.

        And this is why I love to constantly throw shit at Europeans. Even if I don’t understand you, I have enough intimate intuition to know you’re an entire continent of filthy swine rolling in the mud just like us.

        Edit: also screw the sweds. All my Danish and Norwegian ancestors on a part of my family tree hate the sweds.

          As a Dane, please note that while I am bound by blood to hate the Swede, any differences have long since been washed out and we suck as much as, if not more, than them. Just the other day I had a fellow Dane on reddit-logo tell me that they would happily starve for a while if it meant we could keep giving funds to Ukraine…

              Yeah, it was one of those blessed moments that make me go “wait, this is reddit, why on earth am I engaging with these losers?” and my mental health is better for it

        As someone who grew up entirely in the US, had hardly zero contact with my German family members, and who fluently speaks, reads and writes German, I have to say your description of German people (on social media) agrees with a similar thing that I think every time I go read what is happening on “German” social media, namely, that some Germans have a very peculiar way of being smug and wrong, such that it is literally indescribable.

        That’s why when people I know in the US tell me that they’d like to live in Germany because of how much more “radical” German politics are, it so directly contrasts with my own experience that my brain disassociates for the next 20 minutes to protect my Ego from having heard something so absurd.
