Public transportation pet peeve: there are bays / niches for Kinderwagen in our trams and buses and some clueless fucker will inevitably stand there so that I have to weaponize my stroller to get them to move out of the way. Actually, I quite enjoy doing that so I guess this isn’t a pet peeve after all.

While Köln doesn't have an U-Bahn, I'd still like to weigh in: what the absolute gently caress is up with people on the tram who, as soon as the train pulls out of the stop before the one they want to get off, bulldoze their way towards the door in order to press the door button? The doors open automatically (unless they don't, in which case you press the button while stationary, and pre-pressing wouldn't have done anything), and the tram always stops at every stop. People will do this even before loving Neumarkt, as if there might not be anyone there. I guess it's an alibi for going to the door early, but it's also completely useless. Also sometimes someone will reach over like three people in order to press the button without physically getting to the door, so what the gently caress

yeah I mean this is the same issue as people already moving to the doors on the u bahn before the stop is reached. I guess it's tourists who think they won't make it out if they just wait without annoying other people?

In Pendler- und Messezeiten ist das eine begründete Sorge. Da muss man frühzeitig den Gang freikämpfen, damit man genug Zeit die Türbereiche zu durchstoßen.

except for the obvious stations like neumarkt und so where the driver usually taps the open-all-doors-button, the pre press actually works, at least on whatever kind of trains the 1 7 and 9 use. also its fun to press the blinking light button while you wait

gently caress all the panicky tourists who race to the doors before they open tho

I once was riding the S-Bahn to a tinder date/booty call late in the evening and started playing Quizduell, so I missed the station and ended up in some Frankfurt suburbs. Since she was pretty hot and I was in better shape back then I jogged back the 5km in a litlle bit over 20min, taking short cuts through fenced off moonlit Schrebergartens, only opting for a detour when I came to a heavily defended Schrebergarten with a wall with broken glass and barbed wire on top.

When I arrived I reeked like a polecat and was close to vomiting, but fortunately she had a very nice flat with an even nicer tub.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

I have found a German Hoxhaist online newspaper (a non-defunct one, that is). This poo poo rips:

quote:

Hier helfen keine dialektischen Spreizschritte: Die Wiedererrichtung des Reiterstandbildes des ‚Alten Fritz‘ ist ein übler Schandfleck in der Geschichte der DDR und zeigt letztendlich die ideologische Verkommenheit der SED-Spitze an, die in Richtung feudaler Sozialismus ging. Über diesen haben Marx und Engels im Manifest geschrieben, dass er „Schmählieder“ auf die Bourgeoisie sang, um ihr „mehr oder minder unheilschwangere Prophezeiungen … ins Ohr raunen zu dürfen“. (MEW 4,483). Was tat die Propaganda der SED letztendlich anderes gegenüber der BRD? Es fehlte jeder militant-aggressive Ton gegenüber diesem reaktionären, von Faschisten mit aufgebauten Nachfolgestaat, den es zu vernichten galt, um die deutsche Einheit unter sozialistischen Zeichen durchzusetzen.

In diesem Zusammenhang ist auch der spätere, spezifische Kult der SED um Martin Luther von 1983 zu sehen. Honecker war wie besessen, Vorsitzender des Martin-Luther-Komitees zum 500. Geburtstag (10. November) zu werden. Müntzer fristete bei so viel Brimborium nur noch eine Mauerblümchendasein, unterschlagen musste man, dass Luther während des Bauernkrieges zum Massenmord am deutschen Volk aufgerufen hatte, denn die Bauern bildeten damals eben das Volk. Man solle die revolutionären Bauern um Müntzer würgen, hauen, stechen …. Kurz: Luther war der erste Sozialdemokrat in der deutschen Geschichte.

Oh my god there's one where they criticize the MLPD for hosting a Christmas party lmao https://www.arbeit-zukunft.de/2020/01/02/mlpd-nikolausfeiern-von-rebell-und-rotfuechsen/#more-6346

I think the KPD/ML still exists too, it used to be Germany’s largest Hoxhaist party. They were most noteworthy for their attempt to clandestinely establish party cells in the GDR which led to them getting mercilessly crushed by the Stasi (seriously, it’s kinda amazing how much manpower the Stasi threw at this tiny splinter group). Their party song is :krad: though

e: ah, turns out the group you linked to used to be the KPD/ML until they renamed
