  • My bro used to call me shitpants (in German) and I callt my cousin lovingly "little shitpants" Also been called clevershit a lot by my siblings (which was fair ig.) But when things got tough they had my back.

  • What, if I may ask, is this "Ligma" my good Sir? I never heard of such a thing. Would you be so kind as to elaborate the meaning of this Ligma lexeme to me? The sheer uncertainty is simply unbearable.

  • In school, we never just watched a Hitler speech and were asked "here, have a look, whatdaya think?" It is always, from the beginning, embedded in critical, solemn reminders to see it as the darkest chapter in history. We (at least in my school education) were taught how easily masses are manipulated by emotions, groupthink crowd dynamics and psychology. How strong and blinding tribalism can be.

    So to answer your question, what do I, as a German whose grandfather fought in France for the bad guys feel when I see a Hitler speech?

    Anger for people who lose their capacity for rational thinking and let themselves be blinded by emotions. Anger about rethoric. And a deep unsettling sense of dread, shame and sadness.
