Cute raccoon used for racism >_<
2 years ago
One would think using animals derogatory is something you just see the bad guy do in movies like GotG Vol.3 but no...
This is one of the things shown at a meeting of the youth organization of the AFD - the German far-right party:

They literally retweeted something with that image too >_>

The text says "Invasive species - deport [them]" and it shows a raccoon in what probably is meant to be a turban.
These flyers were supposedly shared there as well (albeit cannot confirm independently): https://www.dropbox.com/s/rxi24poff.....EF_0v.jpg?dl=0
The top-middle one says "it's okay to be white" and the bottom one "German hunting club". The bottom-right one surely needs no translation...
What the heck man?..
It is a tad worrysome over here. While countrywide this party hardly gets beyond 15-20% support, in some states they have become significant. It is a painful irony that they are most popular in former east Germany - the region that should know best what indoctrination towards "it's all the other peoples fault" leads to. Apparently too many of the sane people fled westwards once the wall fell though, leaving the people who swallowed all the propaganda to raise the next generation. Support for Putin is greatest there too.
Also just two days ago the other nasty end of the horseshoe*, Antifa interrupted a wagon at a Christopher Street Day (CSD) parade and attacked + injured the speaker.

Supposedly they intend to demonstrate with that against the fact that the CDU was part of the CSD festivities.
Yes, the CDU is Germanys conservative party but at least 1/4 of their members in the Bundestag (parliament) did vote to allow marriage independent of gender (a law that was passed because most other parties agreed with it).
However full on calling them problematic and justifying violent protests is just.. gaaah.. Can't we just get along without such crap? >_>
Not to mention that this may be just made up after the fact and it seems likely they attacked that person specifically because he criticize that Antifa was piggybacking on the CSD festivities in another city ( Freiburg) where they somehow got a LGBT group to showcase this logo:

If you ask me such activities don't help their cause the slightest bit. Just like the "street gluer" (people who block roads in unannounced protests) don't help the green movement either. If anything, this causes division and hate since both sites feel reinforced...

Urgh, sorry, I had to vent for once :/
Wish I were an active artist.. That raccoon in a turban looks so cute and deserves to be shown in a way more positive context X3 Hope none stabs me now for cultural appropriation though ._.'
EDIT: Since that was brought up somewhere else: On the "it's oaky to be white" flyer:
It's not wrong to believe that your skin color is okay, absolutely no matter what color it is. We are of course not responsible for actions of our peers, let alone our ancestors etc.
However the "it is ok to be white" slogan is unfortunately used as a direct counterpoint to "black lives matter" and is intended to diminish the meaning of that.
