  • The saxon prince elector of the 30 years war was mostly famous for drinking himself into unsciousness in a badly-lit cavernous hall while a brass band was playing the stuff Germans mistake for music. He was nicknamed Beer John (Bierjörg). His father was John Sausage (Hanswurst). He was considered the rule, rather than the exception.

    It is safe to say that Germans have only gotten worse since than.





  • Not USian so ymmv

    I found that thankfully within groups, stuff has gotten a bit better. I genuinely felt alienated and miserable within each and every group, big tent or not, I was in before 2020 in the sense that cis women could be very cruel to trans women and if I hit verbally back, I was the aggressor and had cis dudes blow up at me. Now it had been at least not as bad. Just some people stumbling to use my pronouns.

    I think an important point is to try and see if there is the possibility of becoming a fellow traveller before comitting more. A) you dont want a party that gives out full membership right away B) the group might suck

    wrt B: Shit is scary but a revolutionary situation usually means things are already bad enough that there is not a lot to lose anymore for you. Doesnt really help, but it gives you some perspective. Paranoia shouldnt prevent you from joining eventually. Imo a good heuristic is that a badly run and a federally run group are functionally equivalent.
