  1. Suger daddy πŸ€‘ vs daddy πŸ”₯

    Unification was a big mistake let’s make hot stuff Free. Capitalism is bad.

  2. Spying was the only middle class job in East Germany. The middle class was wiped out when the wall came down.

  3. Today I was reminded again by a car from Nordhausen plastered in halfnaked bondage anime Girls.

  4. For me, it was about four months.

    The first time I was in Saxony after 9.11.89, I talked to people who were ecstatic that they a) were free to travel at last, b) could say what they wanted without having to fear Stasi, and c) finally would learn the truth about what the Jews did to deserve their genocide.

    Those weren’t full-blown neo nazis but quite average students and their parents who told me that they had been lied to all their lives, so the thing with the Jews had to be a lie, too.

    We were there to establish a school partnership, so I talked to a lot of different people. They weren’t inherently evil, they were just not brought up in a democracy, they actually were lied to all their lives, and they didn’t trust anything that smelled like their old government, which had abused antifascism as a propaganda weapon against the West. And unified Germany did very little to address this problem. Pretty much everybody in charge focused on economics and how it looked for the international community.
