  • I can do that part with the eyes on purpose. It’s a bit like not actively using them anymore and they’re just in idle, not focused on anything so everything’s blurry.
    Have you tried to focus on something specific instead of shaking your head?

    It also happens when my attention span sinks and my thoughts become more dominant. Kind of like a warning sign that my social batteries are nearly drained.







  • “The Luddites were protesting the way that factory owners and early entrepreneurs were using technology to degrade their working conditions, erode their wages, and usher in a new kind of working—factory work—that would tear up their autonomy and leave them subservient to bosses,” says Brian Merchant, journalist and author of Blood in the Machine: The Origins of the Rebellion against Big Tech.

    I have the strong feeling you don’t know what the words you’re using mean. The way GenAI is used is irresponsible and harming and it’s necessary to fight back.
    It’s a tool, not a religion…










  • I have seen neither of these outside before. Though “Good night White pride” is often seen in the alternative / left (youth) clubs around town.

    Fun fact: The one in the center is pretty similar to the pictogram that is used for communal trash bins (e.g. in parks, public pools, …). The image is often accompanied by the text “halte deine Umwelt sauber” (keep your environment clean). For the sticker / patch they only exchanged the paper with a swastika and kept the rest as it was. Which makes this the most “German” for me.


  • Hey, German here: in works of arts and satire that are meant to critically examine Nazism instead of glorifying it, swastikas are not forbidden.

    E.g. these are totally legal:

    On the street you may have the occasional right wing police officer who tries to give you a headache for your patch with a swastika being thrown in the bin but they can’t do anything about it besides getting on your nerves.
