Today in German media fun


 

Mine fought him. But I guess this is just for Germans.

The biggest news site in Germany, spiegel.de. Quite a move with the rise of the AfD party (Nazis in thin disguise.) Yeah, it's happening here, too. Scary.

And now, back to baseball...sorry for the diversion, but I felt I had to share this one.

Authoritarianism & fascism are on the rise everywhere. In just about every country, there is a clown-in-chief masquerading as a chief executive. Offering simple solutions to complex problems; pointing an accusing finger at minority groups for "causing" all the problems. I don't know what is about people in general, but there seems to be a need to believe those clowns and blindly follow terrible leaders, oftentimes to their own detriment. It sure does reflect poorly on humanity. Intelligence & generosity of spirit are in short supply.

The most amusing example of a fascist leader is Mussolini. He learned how to speak publicly and make certain types of facial expressions from studying Italian movies. Who knew that all you needed to be Clown-In-Chief in Italy was to go out on a parapet, make ridiculous statements, and make smug facial expressions with hands on hips?

Well, the people of Italy did prove themselves intellectually superior (eventually) by beating Mussolini to death with sticks and then hanging his body upside down in the square and spitting on it. Sure wish the Germans had done that with German Clown-in-Chief Adolf Hitler, but they did not, to their everlasting dishonor and disgrace.
