Und dann wundern sie sich, weshalb der ganze Rest, der nichts mit diesem hasserfüllten verfassungsfeindlichen braunen Mob zu tun hat, politikverdrossen ist. Glauben die ernsthaft, die Bevölkerung ist so dumm, nicht zu sehen, was da vor sich geht?

True. And real leaders don't want to lead.

What subtext? It was clear what these assholes were about. And even if it wasn't, they were warned a gazillion times by literally everybody else.

I don't think you are wrong. But I think an assassination would be the icing on the idiot cake.

I understand what you mean. But think of Hitler. Obviously his agenda did not die with him. But imagine all the numbnuts if he was assasinated on the peak of his power.

I once had a GF who not only didn't like Evil Dead, but she couldn't understand why I loved it, no matter how many arguments I delivered. She didn't have to agree with me, of course, but her refusal to even acknowledge my point of view was a real no-go. And the movie was just one example. What can I say? Overall, the relationship didn't last long.

Wouldn't the other half be... not dark?

I was very active on Twitter for a long while and realized that I was starting to think in Tweets - as a grown man. That's not good. Additionally I have the suspicion that Memes have replaced what once humour was, which is why I don't find most of the funny stuff in movies funny anymore. Slowly everything feels like an empty shell. And yes, I am old. But that's why I'm aware that it can be different. People are now satisfied with decals.

I don't think making him a martyr would be a good idea. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't shed a tear if he passed with the worst agony I can imagine. But making him a martyr would make his agenda immortal.

Wenn das wirklich das Argument ist, hängt hoffentlich auch nirgends ein Kruzifix.

It's about control.

Yeah, but you will swallow everything you brushed off - even worse with morning mouth. That's why I brush a second time and don't rinse the second go.

Bin gespannt, wann auch die durchgeknalltesten Sonnenanbeter sagen, dass es zu viel ist.

Patriotism is the little sibling of nationalism, and the boundaries are fluid. I will never understand why people are proud of other people's accomplishments and make them their own. Or is it because people were shat on somewhere else in the world than everyone else? Makes absolutely no sense.

Probably was. My coffee must have been broken.

I hope this is sarcasm. Herzog is a fascinating guy, even if you don't watch his movies or read his works. Just watch any interview with him and you might be surprised how interesting his views on things are.

Becker. That Super annoying new diner owner, after Reggie left.

In der Tat!

The wisdom that a stupid population is easier to govern/to take advantage of has rarely been truer and more obvious than now.
