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

[gsf_emergency_6]

U: https://youtu.be/IrbKSY8z6v0 Just in case

Sure, nuanced anecdote would be great.

That must be a deep joke, I have to meditate hard to find the surprise (maybe it's in "Besserwisser(s) vs the Real WorldTM"? or the joke is that it's an anecdote, really?)

I didn't laugh but I had a stupid grin the whole time

Meant to link the OG but D playing the "most famous DDR anthem" that you have never heard of seemed hilarious at the time https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIkdbiXTl-PA5dcmuv5EYNCZX...

(I now recall that the tune itself is actually Breton, oops)

Ps: I've a bad case of brain fog today... human in the smbc is propagandist??? If Linebarger was always sincere in his leaflets this guy is Jesus H Christ. Didnt really get the ironsky clip either. Much later then.. :(

[aebtebeten]

Breton? Maybe I have the wrong one, it sounds (nyet nerodnaya?) chastushka to me:

  А дела теперь пошли любо-мило,
  Сколько сразу к нам земли привалило,

o.O (more cynical than triumphant?)

"D'Artagnan"'s appreciation of mammaries is a good shoutout to their Goldmundian namesakes; Aramis, who was doing a thesis (Narcissistic?) to become a cleric (on Augustine VIII.7/17?), was known for his cavalier chivalry.

  mammaries...
  light the corners of my mind...

It's just my personal reconstruction of how a German song got to be so full of Russian commenters

https://youtu.be/5imObmpjAV8

My "theory" is that it was the DDR (Oktoberklub) cover that spread it to them.

Gen Z knows this song better than you might think! See newest comments ;)

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?

Central Asia politics as a latent force for world peace. Later..
