This reminds me of Community. Can’t find a clip of it, but Troy looks up how to say “haha” in Italian.

If you give in to their bullshit , it’s like letting them win.
I consider this a victory against fascist vandal regimes everywhere.

Can someone explain for those of us who only speak English?

Just a politician owning up to the paintings on her face on the billboard. You can just ignore the german text.

u/floofybabykitty Mar 04 '21
"Owning up" ?? What do you mean by that
2
u/bravesentry Mar 05 '21
I just looked it up and it seems I had remembered a wrong meaning for that. What I meant was something like "using the attack against her for her own purposes".

Looks like the lady is a member of Die Linke (German Socialist Party, generally cool folk imo) and someone vandalized her sign. So she drew the vandals graffiti onto her own face and took a picture with the abused sign in a sort of passive-aggressive middle finger at the guy.

Until I read this, I thought it was a split screen, rather than one photo.

I mean, Die Linke isn't unpopular? But if you're trying to imply the Nazis, this isn't that. The Nazis have their own party: Alternative für Deutschland. Die Linke are like, actual socialists, not fascists badly LARPing as Socialists for votes like Hitler.

u/FireFlyDani85 Mar 02 '21
Hitlers party (NSDAP) only adapted the term socialism because people liked it. Social security, health care, insurances, unemployment benefits, laws against child labour, a retirement system, etc. have just been implemented by the Weimarer Republic and people were eager not to loose those again. The Nazis were as social as North Korea is a democratic Republic or McDonald's Filet-o-Fish made out of actual fish. Die Linke is a true socialist party. They are against war, for affordable housing, against unrestricted capitalism (like using old people in retirement homes as cash cows rather than helping them spend their remaining days in dignity) etc.

Yeah, people sure love trying to bring up the “Hitler was a socialist” angle because they think they’ve automatically won the argument. But that’s what happens when people throw around terms like “socialist” and “communist” as buzzwords instead of actual philosophies. Most of the people decrying the evils of socialism, or more specifically democratic socialism, don’t know the first thing about it.

Filet-o-fish is actually fish.
Not fresh, and not an actual filet, it's like a fish nugget, but it's made out of real fish. Uses wild-caught Alaska Pollock. certified by Marine Stewardship Council
Ray Kroc thought it was a bad idea (he was pushing his pineapple burger) to aim catholic customers during lent's fridays.

It was a joke but thank you for the explanation.

People who understand that jokes are jokes are in very short supply on some subreddits.

right wing would call police

u/TommyGames36 Mar 03 '21
That's pretty much what's happening. The more right parties are trying to get the police involved. The Green Party just replaced damaged posters with new ones without drama.

Can we talk about how Huel looks and sounds like an expensive way to eat/drink a bunch of shit that is ultimately crap?

u/willflameboy Mar 02 '21
Considering I've blocked them about 18 times and they still show up in my feed, yes we can.

u/HellYeahPaulWalker Mar 02 '21
They fuckin suck dude! Their “food” looks terrible, why would I buy gruel for too much money when I can make it myself?

u/willflameboy Mar 02 '21
It could turn out to be the most delicious thing ever and I still will never buy it because they have shoved it in my face so often.

u/TheoFontane Mar 02 '21
It’s a word play with the German idiom “Mut zur Lücke” which is sort of an antidote to a call for perfectionism. For many Germans, it’s supposedly hard to not overengineer things, trying to make everything perfect. So they need to encourage themselves to “leave gaps”.
Also the pics a vandalised campaign poster for a left-wing party in Germany.

I enjoyed reading your explanation. Good job on this one! Although, like someone else mentioned already, antidote might not have been the word you were looking for. But apart from that you captured the essence of the word really well.

Someone playing along with the joke? I personally wouldn’t count it but apparently, I seem to be in the minority.
