Carnival float from yesterday’s parade in Cologne
Edit: Düsseldorf, apparently. But Kölsch is still better than Alt
Oh Germany, you really get us. Can we let Germans vote in the next US election? After all, we’re already letting Russia take a hand.
Actually, we have about as many Nazi fuckwits by percentage as the US. The difference is that we don’t let them leverage 30% into an electoral majority.
I’m guessing it’s a play on the Dolchstoßlegende? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stab-in-the-back_myth
To backstab someone as a metaphor for betrayal is as common in German as it is in English. So while the origin of the Dolchstoßlegende and this float are linguistically the same, I don’t think this is a play on the Dolchstoßlegende.
Edit: I’m confident that they explicitly used a spear instead of a dagger to avoid a direct comparison.
Bold of German to assume that this guy could use a pair of scissors
Instead of tearing this down after yesterdays’ carnival, maybe they should send it on a tour through the US.
Actually that’s from the parade in Düsseldorf
Me, a fucking dumbass apparently:
- Okay so he cut out the Austrian flag. Why?
- White-red-white is an old Belarusian one. Still not getting this
- Who has a flag that’s all blue with white stars?
- Oh holy shit it’s a swastika
