Why is the Austrian federal bird carrying around a hammer and sickle? Is it a communist bird?

blowfish posted:cough ww1 cough Actually the point where it became apparent that it would be the "kleindeutsche Lösung" (Germany without Austria) was the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. waitwhatno posted:Why is the Austrian federal bird carrying around a hammer and sickle? Is it a communist bird? It has the same meaning as meaning as in the Communist coat of arms (industry and peasants) but it's not communist.

Jesus people, in my analogy, it's not about there having been a foundational war involving Germany and Austria in real history, it's that there is currently no bad blood between Germany and Austria over any such wars, whereas there's still plenty of bad blood in the south of the US over theirs.

Remember when that grenade was found at a refuge shelter? Looks like they found the perpetrators and they are not neo-nazis but from another private security firm and have a migration background. http://www.spiegel.de/panorama/justiz/villingen-schwenningen-vier-verdaechtige-nach-handgranatenanschlag-festgenommen-a-1076544.html I'm just glad that people on the left always wait until all the facts are known and don't judge prematurely.

http://m.spiegel.de/panorama/justiz/a-1076670.htmlquote:Drei Freizeitfaschos ohne feste Anbindung an die Neonaziszene? Drei Wutbürger mit Hass auf Flüchtlinge? Als "Wutbürger" bezeichnet sie zumindest Roman von Alvensleben, Pflichtverteidiger von Dennis L. Auf dem Flur vor Saal 127 sucht der Anwalt nach einer Erklärung, warum es so weit kommen konnte. Er meint die Hilflosigkeit, die Menschen überkommen kann, wenn Fremde in ihr Dorf ziehen, und "man nicht weiß, wie man damit umgehen will". Lmao, just some harmless Wutbürger listening to Nordfront, getting blackout drunk, shouting about scheiss Neger and researching Molotov cocktails on the internet. Nothing to see here. Just concerned citizens, who felt helpless about some darkies moving into their village. They are not racist or right wing extremists and if some darky Germans from Africa had moved into that house they would have set their children's bedroom on fire just the same. Race realists. Is there a name among lawyers for a defense like that? Kamikaze Verteidigung?

Did you know that complementing someone on their language skills is actually a really cruel form of xenophobia? Well, if you didn't you should read this article http://www.zeit.de/kultur/2015-12/german-language-problems-berlin-refugees-10nach8/komplettansicht My highlight was this sentence quote:I can’t even imagine, given my set of privileges, what it must be like to arrive here as a refugee with no knowledge of German or English and try to navigate the bureaucracy. making sure that no one can accuse this white person of not checking her privileges!

I don't know what's so hard to understand about the concept of underhanded comments and remarks. Speaking a language with an accent and other imperfections is not something people do by choice, and reminding people of it instead of replying to what they bring up is rude. "Cruel" is hyperbole in order to make her perfectly valid point look crazy.

Do. 04.02. Antifa-Café: Sonderwirtschaftszone JVA http://kafemarat.blogsport.de/2016/02/01/do-04-02-antifa-cafe-sonderwirtschaftszone-jva/ quote:Die seit dem Mai 2014 existierende Gefangenen-Gewerkschaft/Bundesweite Organisation (GG/BO) hat die soziale Frage hinter Gittern aufgeworfen: kein Mindestlohn, keine Rentenversicherung, keine Entgeltfortzahlung im Krankheitsfall, kein Kündigungsschutz für inhaftierte Beschäftigte – und ein minimales Taschengeld für aktuell beschäftigungslose Gefangene. Diese vor-wilhelminischen Beschäftigungsverhältnisse, die in bundesdeutschen Haftanstalten überwiegend unter dem Diktat des Arbeitszwangs stattfinden, bilden ein speziellen Segment des Niedriglohnsektors. Diese entgarantierte Billilöhnerei hinter Gittern, Inhaftierte verdienen durchschnittlich € 1,50 pro Arbeitsstunde, ist zu skandalisieren, denn es ist aus Gewerkschaftssicht völlig unerheblich, ob prekäre Arbeitssituationen vor oder hinter den Knastmauern bestehen – sie gehören abgeschafft. Die haben gutes und vor allem billiges Bier. Musik ist auch immer gut.

A description of going to store and asking "do you have XYZ?" in an article isn't necessarily a notarized transcript. In any event, even if she had said it exactly like that, it wouldn't have been impolite enough to justify the guy faking not understanding her question. waitwhatno posted:- learn to take a compliment Learn to make a compliment that doesn't remind people of their shortcomings. waitwhatno posted:- don't be friends with condescending assholes that talk dismissively about you in the third person, like you are not even there Yeah... vet your friends using a year-long process that guarantees that none of them will ever disappoint you. waitwhatno posted:i would say she has a pretty lovely attitude. but she is also kinda hot, so who am i to judge? In your case I don't even know if you're hot... The whole "attitude" I'm seeing is of speaking up about one's experiences.

Ich wollte das eigentlich schon gestern beigetragen haben, aber anscheinend haben sich die Ereignisse im letzten Lügenpresse-Fall schon wieder rasant weiterentwickelt. Artikel m.w.N. 2016 ist ein gutes Jahr für Journalistenhasser. Erst der ÖR-Typ, der offen zugab, dass man in den Anstalten bewusst regierungsnah berichtet und jetzt das hier.
