What do you see in the above photo? What you should see is an ad by Germany’s Green Party attacking xenophobic right wingers. What does it say? “You can’t always recognize Nazis at first glance.”

The poster has, not surprisingly, unleashed some sort of public debate, though over what I’m not sure. Haaretz has the story. What I find most amusing is the identity of one of the aggrieved parties: CatsThatLookLikeHitler.com.

Happy New Year to everyone (belatedly). And in today’s news, get this, the German Green Party have elected to use Kitlers in their latest electoral literature. (Click the picture for bigification!) It’s a shame they had to use a Photoshopped Kitler – there are lots of resident furry Furhers on here who would have loved, I’m sure, to be a model for the Greens!

The Dark Side of DEI

It’s racist to hand someone a job based on skin color alone. They will be doomed to fail because representing one’s identity is not the same thing as mastering a profession.
