Polandball

Wiggly mouse-drawn comics where balls represent different countries. They poke fun at national stereotypes and the "international drama" of their diplomatic relations. Polandball combines history, geography, Engrish, and an inferiority complex. God knows how the hell we’re supposed to do a wiki without using another website here….

Why use nazi rhetoric?

Comic creator added that for some reason and I didn't spot it

I'm guessing it was meant to be edgy and it fit from the meaning, but a lot of people suffered horribly under that.

But yeah, Germany really dropped the ball on going digital. I recently had an appointment at a government agency to discuss something, and the worker was complaining and apologizing that he could barely see me behind all of his new monitors and how he wished he had his paperwork back

My favorite story has to be either that when the position of a Internet Minister was first proposed it was created under the jurisdiction of the Ministry for Transport since you also call it "Data highway" so naturally it was related to cars and highways

Or the time the ministry slowed down the development of making Germany more digital and instead focus on investing into flying taxis

Yes, it's probably meant to be “edgy”. I think some people need more history lessons. I removed the poster, did the edit federate?

I'm from the Netherlands and there was a massive hack recently which made them disconnect their networks from the internet so I can relate.

🤣 It's grouped with kingdom relations here for some reason.
