I just think we gotta make a disctinction between doxxing someones real life by digging through their internet trail and connecting a screen name to a real identity to gently caress with their life and calling out my imaginary racist uncle when he posts racist poo poo on facebook under his real name. Words have meaning and consequences and protecting nazis from their own dumb selves when they post horrible garbage online under their actual identity, which they do a lot these days, sometimes even with their business accounts, they need to be made to feel that that poo poo don't fly.

one of the problems of mob justice is that a substantial part of the mob is just batshit insane. it's like a rabid dog you trained to bite nazis. it's mostly biting nazis now, but sooner or later it's gonna eat some baby's face :iiapa:

That's why the mob will be guided by the enlightened vanguard of the party so their pitchforks will never impale the wrong ones! :commissar:

Trip report Sumpfstadt, Day One: our "beloved" capital (more like buttital) is coming apart at the seams. There was hardly a street I come across that wasn't blocked by ongoing construction work. It may not be long until the place is finally reclaimed by the swamp.

The Holocaust-Mahnmal too is falling apart. Some :airquote: very smart people :airquote: (I'll be charitable and assume that they) tried to fix it by filling in the gaps with their used up chewing gum. There is a metaphor somewhere in here about the resurgence of fascism and our leaders inept reply to it, but I can't be arsed to come up with something poignant.

I'm also pretty sure I saw Hugo Egon Balder. Apparently, TV people actually exist outside the magic box. Who knew? I didn't get a close enough look though to ascertain if they are made from flesh and blood or if it is all wires and clockwork underneath. Further investigation is necessary.

I’m like 99% sure Lea Rosh literally said she’d leave sharpie swastikas up on the memorial if it came to that because that way the memorial would show how antisemitism is still alive and well these days

I think the debate came up when it was found out the anti graffiti coat was produced by a company that used to be IG Farben

The weirdest part about blacking the name out in that image is to me that it does gently caress all. It takes all of 3 seconds of a search on twitter for the words in the post to find it, so it might keep your average yonk from making a marginally bigger effort, but won't even noticably impede this mythical "motivated to destroy a racist shitposters life" psycho.

Made it back. Feet are pretty much just bloody stumps now. Have to assume that the city was swallowed by the earth the moment my train left the station, so RIP Smirr.

Overall, I don't think I get the hype. Seems to be pretty much the same as other German cities, just bigger, but perhaps I've not been to the right places. :shrug:

Berlin is (probably) good to live in because it is relatively cheap and offers diverse cuisine.

When visiting I find it to be ugly outside the touristy stuff, crowded and too often smelling of pissss.

Berlins biggest issue is that it's loving gigantic and empty. It takes forever to go anywhere interesting. It would improve so much as a city if you packed everything it contains into a quarter of the space.

The Berlin specific thing about the picture is that only Berlin would think it's Berlin specific.

gently caress, u got me good. I'm still quite a ways from that platonic ideal though, need more cash and actual Wohneigentum - I'm petit-bourgeois at best :(

Let's all share Silvesterpläne and rate each other's bougie-levels on that basis!

Me, I'm going to celebrate Silvester at home with a couple of friends, a home-cooked meal, little to no alcohol, probably play some FIFA with a buddy beforehand, not gonna go out for a walk or anything because I hate Feuerwerk and am strongly in favor of a Verbot. The biggest point of contention is whether we should make a home-made dessert or buy one at the bakery.

At my new apartment with a couple of friends, offering way too much food and smoking all the weed, which I just realized makes the amount of food a non-issue.

e: we haven't even talked about fireworks but I'm not gonna buy any and probably no one's gonna bring any. And my apartment offers a semi-decent view over town (bougie points +1 I guess), I bet we get to see enough.

Luckily I'm going to Berghain, which also had the traditional Sylvester lab.oratory party downstairs, to counter the Spießburgertum itt my god

edit: and I'm also not drinking a lot of alcohol, just some Rotkäppchen as is custom, so at least we have that in common. Will be taking lots of other drugs tho.

I'm not sure I get this post op. Can you show me some other clubs in other cities with similar 4 day parties?

Also, this is just the two best known clubs from opposite ends of the house - techno spectrum. The beauty is the sheer amounts of clubs that don't stop raving for a week, and so do the people.

get it right, it's house hyphen techno spectrum, not housebindestrichtechno spectrum.

i like how ridiculously open-faced the one poster/flyer is about ripping off Kater Holzig/Bar25 - are they related or just trying to rip off tourists?

Sylvester plans: Trying out that thing where you put rolls of camembert on top of each other, wrap the resulting towers in pizza dough and put them in the oven, then cutting it open for dipping. Also possibly some Sekt and/or Grog and looking after the cats.

The flyer is for Kater Blau op, which is the continuation of Kater Holzig/ Bar25.
