looks like asking people to read the greeks is already considered trolling.

for latin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_Bithynia ?

„Die Partei ist kein Internat für höhere Töchter, sondern eine Kampforganisation.“

Q. What do woke parents and maga parents have in common when their kid Silas wants to be called "she/her"?

A. "Oh my god ... we no longer have a son!"

Q. Why won't the new East Room ballroom be a success?

A. Because Trump is good at holding balls, but he always chokes when he goes to them.

Trump and Putin are meeting at Mar-a-Lago for the Strategic Hypersonic-Arms Restraint Treaty. Kayleigh McEnany wants to get on Trump's good side to start her interview, so she compliments his outfit: "Hey Donald, nice top". He starts to reply, "Thanks! I was gi..." but is interrupted by Putin, who gruffly says "У меня есть имя, знаете ли!"

That last one could work (someone mid has to find it funny)

other examples of the tone you're going for (at anyone's expense) would be helpful. Normally I get almost all my good lines from Rabinovich, but even a wider late soviet net doesn't turn up much beyond "...and it's in Melania's handwriting"

(I agree that oestrous propaganda is unlikely to play on HN, but I must admit upon hearing the rumour that there is good money to be had in drawing commissions for Rule 34 content that the only deep-pocket collectors I could think of were Three Letter Agencies)

Fwiw salty pro-AfD comments together with one American(?) (mid?) asking if they had a branch in the ole country indicated trolling had happened (whether intended or not)

Re: other vid-- that one seems to sit on the thin line between satire and documentary

Aha! I'd missed "zweiheit", and although I know a good EEPH joke I'd never have recognized the tune...

Only tune I know from there is Nina Hagen's "Farbfilm" (recently I learned that while others needed to build balloons to escape from the east, apparently she just wrote a strongly worded letter ... and EEPH's people were so eager to get rid of her that it worked)

Is it still possible to troll with the ehemaligen union? (1 May has been googlebombed to be "law day" in the ole country, and one fine cold war year two wags ran the hammer and sickle up an official flagpole... folks were not amused)

once as a party tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP7LpUVUgqA

once serious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBnCo2SKafU

PS ich musste sehr lange suchen, um das Salz zu finden. Partystimmung pur!

Hope you didn't miss the NK flag either!

Hmm the essence of (US) rightwing suffering seems to stem from being made to sit in a room (=to think beforehand)??

For me, that explains the (high-)SV-feudalist detente (both of which selectively empower personalities who prefer to think afterwards/with whatever they have on hand?)

Let me know if you have any objections/nuances to add

Ha! I think the late soviet D'Artagnan may have been a bit thirstier:

  With the beauty and the goblet, with the lucky blade
  While while while we swing the feathers on our hats

The answer to "What do we want to drink?" is obviously "Greek Wine"! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU2uKnFIhRY

Ja, ja, hab's gesehen, aber no besser ist: Partei für Arbeit, Rechtsstaat, Tierschutz, Elitenförderung und basisdemokratische Initiative

Fun Fact: NL actually has an "Animals Party"

„Wenn Politiker nur noch Satire machen, müssen wir Satiriker wohl Politik machen.“ (I'd argue for a US version, but it'd be difficult to beat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-VglGOKR3E ; also https://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/1768176974-20260112.png has a point)

Aha, not just a flag; they have DPRK-Pop in their playlist. "Korea Does What It Is Determined To Do" ... Kim needs to diss Trump for biting his flow.

(one of my big fears is the trying everything else before thinking will lead to walking right into an Ems dispatch; as long as MAGA really had been isolationist that was much less of a worry)

Nuanced anecdote?

A MAGA hat wearer laughs three times:

1) when the joke is first repeated 2) when it has been explained 3) when they finally get it

An R member of congress laughs twice:

1) when the joke is first repeated 2) when it has been explained, and everyone else is laughing

An ICE officer only laughs once:

1) when he detains the one who first repeats it

A Besserwesser doesn't laugh at all:

- they say they've heard this one before, and anyway their guy did it better — at least he had a plan

While we're on the subject of KZ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2W47fpL7pI

Overheard in MC: «Бери Шанель, пошли домой!»

[gsf_emergency_6]

KZ as in the lager?

[aebtebeten]

KZ as in the home of A-Studio, apples*, and Baikonur! (and a strategic mineral or two?)

How would we make cider without apples, häh?
