The song by itself could be seen as someone reminiscing about teenage love, I.e. both parties are teens.

The video is quite disturbing though. They could have shown a teenage couple while the singer is the narrator. Instead they went full pedo.

In the video they seem to refer to the 2nd Reich of 1871.

Which is cool because of they it so much they should adopt a couple of their policies. Like universal healthcare (1883).

I know they mean 1933 when they say 1871 but let’s still make this about healthcare and social security that were introduced in the ‘unified Reich’.

In their ignorance the Trump campaign delivered a nice own goal: if they love the 2nd Reich of 1871 so much they should adopt a couple of their policies.

Universal healthcare for example - introduced in 1883 by a conservative chancellor by the name of Bismarck.

Sorry, you’re completely utterly wrong here. First, the Reichs:

  1. Reich: Holy Roman Empire (of the German Nation).
  2. Reich: (Unified) German Empire (1871-1918). → that’s the one they were referring to by wording, but not by implication.
  3. Reich: Nazi Germany (1933-1945). → context and implication should make it clear they mean this one.

The Weimar Republic took place between the second and the third Reich. It would’ve been a golden age of great prosperity if it weren’t for the Versailles contract and the Great Depression. It’s still had great economic achievements, which often get falsely attributed to Nazi Germany. You can be 100% sure that the Trump campaign doesn’t refer to this one. And please don’t conflate it with the 2nd Reich.

Even though the wording seems to indicate the 1871 German Reich the wording unified Reich and the use of the term Reich in English make this a Nazi Bullhorn.

Edit to add: In their ignorance the Trump campaign delivered a nice own goal: if they love the 2nd Reich of 1871 so much they should adopt a couple of their policies. Universal healthcare for example - introduced in 1883 by a conservative chancellor by the name of Bismarck.

Apparently they had fines before, are facing increased gun violence and thus increased the punishment.

see fay, michael and singapore.

I almost forgot that asshole. No one outside the US thought the intervention was warranted. Case in point: the Swiss vandal in 2010

Or just serve alcohol to people of legal drinking age (in your country) along with the Kinder eggs.

I don’t get it. Care to explain?

I guess the tree branch needs to start somewhere, but why leave out amphibians?

You better double check. I just found out that only my comments with few upvotes are still that way, the others have been restored.

A script replacing them with random words might do the trick.

[email protected] (Nomen est omen?) removed any doubt you might have had about his character with this last comment.

He’s also the type of person who hears a radio alert about a wrong way driver on the Autobahn and thinks “One? There are thousands (and all of them are racists)!”

It’s still important to call out the hypocrisy, even if it is their normal modus operandi. Ad nauseatum.

Liars and conmen need to be exposed again and again until the most misinformed and thickest victim finally gets it.

Trump has proven that this will take until the end of time but it is still worth it. If you save one victim per bunch of Trumpists it’s worth it.
