Living in Germany truly has felt surreal this past week. I guess I just never had to know how propaganda felt. Of course, there always were apparent biases or dominant media narratives. But I always thought "at least it's not as bad as fox news". I'm not so sure anymore. Maybe I'm remembering this wrong, but I didn't experience the "falling in line" to be that complete. And that includes all the prominent dissenting voices, totally in line now.
This chapo used to socialize as antideutsch in the rotten late Bush years of 2006-2008, and I must say it does feel surreal to me as well.
Wouldn't have dreamed that 15+ years later the solidarity with Israel commitment would be official German doctrine and pretty much everybody I know just ignored all those kids that get blown up by us Westerners every day, as long as the metaphorical burger sauce keeps flowing. White people and Germans sure got even more disgusting in a very short time, and who would have thought that possible after the whole Greece drama and the "refugee crisis"!
Maybe I was a bit too young idk, but I only recently learnt about antideutsche. I had heard of them before, but only had a vague idea what they are and I didn't know they still exist, the whole idea seemed very quaint.
Feel free to talk a bit about them, I'd be interested
