  • If I read the format correctly, it depicts the Greek character standing on a stack of books with the “Arab” standing on a pile of money, insinuating that the European’s high education/wisdom/whatever is superior to the “Arab’s” wealth. The fact that Ancient Greek philosophy was only passed down to post-medieval Europe by Arab/Ottoman scholars and that the Islamic world has a rich intellectual tradition that is in no way inferior to that of the European peoples was probably not considered in the inception of the underlying format.

    Tl;dr: It’s racist.







  • My guy, have you heard phrases like “100 Mrd. € Sondervermögen für die Bundeswehr”, “Wiedereinführung der Wehrpflicht” , shit like this? Or have you heard anything people like Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann have said in the past two years? Also, hasn’t the Russian army been struggling to overpower Ukraine for the past two years now? The poorest country in Europe with basically no functioning infrastructure to begin with that also is decidedly not a member of NATO? Wouldn’t the Russian Army have to cross the Baltic states and Poland to even reach Germany, triggering a response from all of NATO? Could it be they all the rhetoric about the Russkys expanding westwards is full of shit and nothing more but a fig leaf to sell austerity and a military buildup to the German populace?
