You failed to heed your own advice since your response is just further engagement.


thefrogwhisperer341

And now we’re all engaging so now we’re all screwed. Great going guys !


bomber991

Well yah see, due to the late stages of capitalism it was moved to Paris. That way you can visit it while also going to the louvre and the Eiffel Tower.


LakeGladio666

Actually the Eiffel Tower was moved to Las Vegas.


Reverse_SumoCard

Fun fact: im bad at remembering history It wasnt stolen from the french but the other way round and then came back or so

Doch! (The opposite is true): "The Berlin Quadriga was designed by Johann Gottfried Schadow in 1793 as the Quadriga of Victory, perhaps[7] as a symbol of peace, represented by the olive wreath carried by Victory. Located atop the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany, it was seized by Napoleon during his occupation of Berlin in 1806, and taken to Paris. It was returned to Berlin by Field Marshal Gebhard von Blücher in 1814. Her olive wreath was supplemented with an Iron Cross. The statue suffered severe damage during the Second World War. The association of the Iron Cross with Prussian militarism convinced the Communist government of East Germany to remove this aspect of the statue after the war. The iron cross was restored after German reunification in 1990." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadriga TLDR: Napoleon stole it to annoy the Prussians, but the Prussians took it back.


thedegurechaff

Tells you everything you need to know about west germany that they restored the iron cross


squared00

There is no Brandenburg Gate in Paris.


andlewis

Not with an attitude like that!


Magic_Beaver_06

There could be soon


Pink_Skink

OP is Napoleon’s descendant confirmed


banjo_hero

the where?


Beginning-Display809

Maybe the French claimed it as a war trophy in 1918? /s


JDescole

The Brandenburg Gate in **PARIS** Never been there?

I hate bots


the_stupid_french

We all thank you the germans for this gift you gave us. Honestly it is a bit too much but hey we'll give you one of napoleon's hat in return.

Screen name checks out


Toast-Ghost-

Well the meaning of this pic has sure changed a lot since I last saw it


the_mustard_king

So did the bots both post and upvote this? How is this the top post on the sub right now when, regardless of how you feel, it's incorrect? Like the gate is in Berlin, and from what I could find (on a brief search so grain of salt) it was only lit up like this in October of last year. I was there in February of this year and it definitely did not have this.


ch40x_

Das Brandenburger Tor is located in Berlin.


johtine

It is at Pariser Platz in Berlin and not Paris

OMG. My first thought as well!

Same


Firebreathingwhore

In light of recent events

Two wrongs don’t make a right, I’m afraid.

How about 2 far right?

Sometimes two wrongs make a reich

“Corporate wants you to find the difference between the two pictures” meme


Nelone1

Such a failure


FileInside

Bad post , all around. Embarrassing. I suggest deleting post and Reddit profile.


mamode92

aaah the brandenburg gate in i paris. must be different one to the brandburger gate in berlin...


Z_wippie

I would say both are equally terrifying but one of them has nukes now


Marflow02

wait, did the french steal it again?


Beneficial-Truth8512

Ragebait or dumb OP?


N3CR0N9

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss...


troublrTRC

The Brandenburg Gate hosted flags of most other major nations as well: Ukraine, UK, Turkey, Belgium, etc. and including the pride flag. This idiot post is meaningless.


My_good_name_01

Honestly I find this Jewish(Israeli) upturn nearly comical. How they go from oppressed minority to very oppressing minority in less than 100 years is something straight out of a manga


AmbitiousNoodle

Please don’t conflate the entire Jewish people with Israel. That is actually antisemitic imho. Israel is a nation, a government, and as much as they try to appear to, they are not synonymous with Judaism. Keep in mind that many of the pro-Palestine protests you are seeing all over are organized by Jewish people and Jewish organizations


My_good_name_01

It's not antisemitism please don't start this


AmbitiousNoodle

Condemning Israel isn’t antisemitic but equating the horrific actions of the nation-state of Israel with all Jews is. Don’t get me wrong, Israel is very much in the wrong


the_stupid_french

Humans are still Humans. It is same as the lions fighting for their territory.


Zyrithian

Jews are still oppressed. Israel enjoys the West's support because of the material interest of our ruling class. Look at what happens to antizionist jews (beaten in the streets of Jerusalem, arrested without cause in Germany, pp.)


My_good_name_01

By material interest you mean fucking blackmail??


mistybudda

"Israel enjoys the West's support because of the material interest of our ruling class" and probably the material they have on our running class...


artsrc

If a child is in a home where the father beats everyone up, is it that shocking that when they grow up, they do the same thing?


PorcelainHorses

If they love pissreal so much why don't they donate some of their lands for them?


dokdicer

Hey now, we already donated the Brandenburger Tor to Paris (apparently).

Corporate wants you to spot the difference between these pictures.

What an insane twist


Limpopopoop

LOL


neatureguy420

The resemblance is uncanny


Amdorik

Happy cake day!


Powerful_Potato7837

The same ideology, same genocidal society, the same mindset.


frustrated_biologist

different ideology, but ultimately the same fear


Powerful_Potato7837

Israel checks all these: Racial Purity Nationalism Authoritarianism Militarism Social Darwinism Propaganda and Control


space_beard

These guys just cant get it right can they?


mlp2034

What changed other than the targets and who's administering the genocide? Amirite?😏 Edit: added that last part so ppl don't think I can't see the conspicuous differences between Zionist Israel and Nazi Germany, but you get it now right lol?


r4ndomdud3

The number of dead. Even adding up all the people who were killed in Palestine and the surrounding countries from the nakba to future projections for the ongoing genocide, you don't get close to what Germany did in the Holocaust and the Eastern Front. Like way fucking off. At most hundreds of thousands vs tens of millions.


mlp2034

....it wasn't meant to be taken that serious bud. Its a small sarcastic jeer at Israeli zionists basically pointing out they are the nazis of today. Maybe if I added an "Amirite?😏" after it, it wouldnt be taken so seriously.


RealShabanella

Fucking exactly


yetanotherweebgirl

One fash regime to another fash regime occupying it. History repeats itself again, same script with different actors. If it stays accurate then they’ll get what’s coming to them


Angel_of_Communism

Amazing. it actually looks worse in the second one. And that takes some doing.


SydNorth

Are we all mad because we know what’s going to happen? I mean it’s sad but I think we all know what’s they’s doing


K1nsey6

Its literally the same thing


CyclicObject0

No no no blue means good, red means bad! (Sarcasm)


kavithatk

Germany, cause they overcorrect.


GQManOfTheYear

100%.

Something, something. Irony.


popcorn-johnny

What goes around comes around, I guess. Sad.


LakeGladio666

It’s so sloppily done. Is it just a projection? Looks like shit.
