I noticed that a lot of people who turn right-wing are extremely cynical. All politicians are the same, they are all lying which means that their favored right wing party is of course also lying about the horrible stuff, they just vote for them to shake thinga up a bit. Everything is fake, nothing is real: climate change isn’t real, housing crisis isn’t real (because they have an appartment). Any societal problem is either made up or has always been this way, so lets just support the people that tell us it’s all made up. Right-wing politicians spewing hatred against minorities, left wingers, environmentalists are the only authentic ones 'telling it as it is".

It’s such a lazy cop-out.

An American friend that lives here in Germany sent our city’s flag to her parents. They put it up in their front yard to mess with their racist neighbors. When they got mad they just innocently said “Well, that’s just a souvenir from our daughter.”

While I agree that there should be a way harsher response, wasting the regimes resources and thereby throwing a spanner in the works is a legit way of protest.

Tbf they also pull out all rental cars. Those usually are registered to the same area with tax benefits so they pull out all cars with that area code. At least that’s what friends with company cars tell me, they always get pulled out at the german border. Which is just great, business travel to neighboring countries is just the kind of thing we want to crack down on 🤡.

Maybe some sea animal with a house? I’d imagine you don’t need slime under water. But I’m no biologist.
