The poster says; “We protect our children”
The extended arm i guess shapes a roof over the children?
What do you call a dog whistle when it’s screeching this loud?
a nazi salute
Rush Limbaugh taught us all that evil always disguises it’s intent by saying it’s protecting “the children”.
I don’t see what the big deal is. This is just a Roman roof shape.
Also the swoosh logo is a sieg heil
Looks like a WikiHow graphic on how to do it, that’s crazy
How did they manage to make the family look soooo white? Even before I processed what the topic of this post my mind recognized how white that family looks. That and the nazi salute they were doing. So weird.
The Nazi salute is worse than weird : it’s horrifying. People creating such propaganda are obviously racists … which is also very bad.
But skin color, would it be extremely white-pink or extremely black, is never weird. You would see a lot of such impossible-to-tan-skin in some Nordic countries 😋 !
It is like they photoshoped out all the healthy red color out of this children faces.
Besides the not so subtle gesture, Nazi propaganda often emphasized an idealized family like this.
Midsommar is an excellent film about exactly how this type of back-to-basics all natural anti-modern vibe can be a vehicle for fascism. I recommend going in without learning more if you haven’t seen it, but there is a lot of symbolism, foreshadowing and deeper meaning in easy to miss moments.
I think there’s also something to be said about fascism as a comfort. There are many people I’ve seen argue that it’s somewhat of a happy ending for Florence Pugh’s character. These also seem to be the types of TERF radical feminists who are more likely to be in lockstep with the current administration based on its treatment of transgender people.
When you have been hurt in that way, burning it all down can make sense. The movie does make you feel comfortable with the deaths of the characters I think - they all very much come across as more “deserving” of what happens to them than is typical in most horror films. I think that’s another amazing aspect of that movie - you don’t feel bad about them dying and maybe that should concern you?
Hereditary is another movie that has so many layers to it. The problem there is that it’s basically impossible to watch more than once to form a proper analysis of it lol
Not a phone or iPad in sight
Down to the shorts and shirts for the boyz…
Just to be clear about the timeline… This was going around the internet months ago and it is guaranteed Musk saw it before he decided to do his little socially awkward gesture.
Very aryan family
The poster actually says “we protect your kids”.
Thanks. I only used Google translate as a service to readers 👍
Maybe the parents are just socially awkward and autistic
please don’t. this is the second time i have seen this today. yes, i know it is /s, but it’s still reinforcing an association with the potential to hurt people.
lately i have been thinking about the notion that one way to fight fascism is not to use their language. every day i read comments on lemmy that are intended to mock fascists by repeating their narratives, and i fear they are only feeding it.
didn’t we learn anything from the fact that internet shit-posting played a part in putting fucking 47 into power in the us?
but yeah. please stop conflating autism with nazism, regardless of what idiot felon-fans say to try to downplay it.
Maybe those are the people my grandfather was killing in WW2
He was a great man!!
There are so many fucked up layers to this, like using the term “Schutz,” as in “Schutzstaffel.”
doesn’t Schutz mean protect? And in the case off the SS doesn’t it mean “guard”?
AfD are neonazis but im not sure the word choice is that odd.
Yes, Shutzstaffel means “protection squadron.” Maybe deliberate, maybe not, but combined with the Nazi salutes and blond-haired, blue eyed kids it’s not great phrasing IF you aren’t trying to invoke Nazi imagery.
Mein Leben!
They’re trying to normalize the “Sieg h*il” in the public. Very basic Propaganda strategy but highly effective.
And punishable by prison in Germany
Yeah, watch that go away after the coming election.
Check out https://fragdenstaat.de to see that germany is not as democratic as it seems.
It is “vote hard left or die” in germany now. Otherwise we have more blood on our hands.
Unfortunately, Die Linke is pro Russian, as is BSW. CDU might be the least worst option… God that makes me feel disgusting.
Die linke has an outdated stance of dogmatic pacifism, yes. I wouldn’t necessarily call that pro russian, that sentiment mostly moved over to the bsw.
This is misinformation. Die linke is pro ukraine and wants to broker a deal with them at the table to get them peace instead of more death.
BSW and CDU want to stop refugees from entering and send them back home.
The CDU has brought a legislative proposal in a FIRST with the new german nazi party and directly went back on their promise never to do this.
Deals cannot be brokered with Putin under any circumstance. It cannot be done. There will never be a peace deal with Putin. You can just throw that idea right into the fucking dumpster.
Die Linke want capitulation. That is not something I can support.
That is just wrong, van Aken even explicitly said, that any peace without Ukraine at the table and that gives Russia territory is unacceptable. You may call their methods naïve and ineffectual, but they do not want capitulation, and myths like “NATO is responsible for the war” have also gone away with BSW leaving the party.
Dang things are heated over there too it seems I happy for my small boring country for once…
Thats already different from what you said first, making my point.
But on a more constructive note: please cite sources. I will happily agree with you if you can.
This is misinformation. Die linke is pro ukraine and wants to broker a deal with them at the table to get them peace instead of more death.
No, you are spreading misinformation. They indeed want peace … the same way Trump does. By appeaseing and making conessions to Russia.
If you want to be taken seriously, feel free to substantiate your claim. Otherwise my word is as good as yours.
Yeah, I’m not worried as anyone with the slightest clue of German politics knows that your claim is the unsubstantiate one.
Die Linke only gives lipservice to Ukraine’s right of self-defense while it has consistently denoucned weapon exports to Ukraine, like here when they demanded we don’t send any tanks. And that’s just one example of their questionable positions.

So stop spreading misinformation, k?
Upon reflection, Green is probably the best choice. I’m impressed by Baerbock.
Baerbock who speaks of “feminist foreign policy” and then says women and children can become legitimate military targets under international law? (which is complete bullshit)
Baerbock who demanded the Kurdish groups in Syria should lay down their weapons while Turkiye is invading them?
Baerbock who lied about seeing videos of sexual assaults on Israelis in October 2023 to downplay the vast and credible reports about systematic sexual assaults by Israeli soldiers. Videos that neither the UN investigators nor the Israelis themselves said existed? And when pushed about it, instead of acknowledging that she cannot give any specifics by journalists her press speaker instead attacked the journalists who asked as trying to spread misinformation about sexual assaults and how dare they and how shameful they would be.
Baerbock is like a German Hillary Clinton. She only cares about her image and her career and she has no principals whatsoever.
The greens are also taking part in the human rights denying idea of stopping refugees (whose numbers have declined in the past years, contrary to common belief).
Fuck off with this misinformation. Die Linke is not Pro Russia or Pro Putin.
Well the greens are left leaning. Does not fell great, but not as disgusting as voting for Merz.
What does left leaning mean in your opinion? Why does it not fell great?
Greens who also want to deport more people are left leaning?? Since when?
I don’t have a dog in this fight, but when a party has some right-wing views but is largely leftist, that’s when you call them left leaning. So yes, they can want to deport more people and could still qualify for that label.
Yeah. It’s really a matter of picking one’s poison, and some are better than others. AFD is the obvious wrong answer here, and electing to not vote or vote for some party that won’t even make parliament is essentially a vote for AFD. There is no perfect political party.
I’m sure if they take power, their first order of business would be to legalize all Nazi symbolism and drop the “we’re just run of the mill conservatives” facade entirely.
It’s a nod to the Nazis that’s ensures them that behind all the denials and propaganda they are still going to do what Nazis do. just like project 2025 and the elon salute.
A dog whistle?
Sieg what?
Exactly
“We protect your children”
Sometimes they even decorate them!Fourteen wording pieces of shit.
President Musk recently did a thing too…
I feel like the Facism is in the room with me, doc
Minor correction: We protect your children
Technically is the multiple-you form. So, if you’re southern: “y’all’s kids”
