He had an accident while jogging, resulting in scratches and the eyepatch. The caption of the picture, which was posted on Twitter, literally said "Am curious/excited for the memes". His PR knows how to catch the attention of the internet lol

He says it's jogging, but that's just to hide his secret identity as masked super hero at night where he runs through the streets of Berlin and fights evildoers with his fists.

So he can't jog but we expect him to RUN our country? /s

[–] Chariotwheel@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Well, he survived the dangerous trial, even if scarred.

Wasn't it Söder or Merz who said the current government is the worst germany ever had? Still makes me laugh

Even appart from the Hitler thing, we had fucking Schröder, now Putins best friend and Russian gas lobbyist.

The must've learned this kind of polemics when Andreas Scheuer (CSU) visited Ron DeSantis earlier this year. Seems like they want to bring some of the American style of politics over here. Forgetting, that even the "liberal" Democrats are about as far right as the CDU/CSU would be here. But hey, at least their "Brandmauer" against the right wing parties still stands, right? Sadly it's made out of matches and sits on wheels.

For the interested foreign readers: our conservative parties are turning into right wing extremists and cooperate more and more with the Nazipart AfD and the slightly less Naziparty FW. The head of the bavarian conservatives and prime minister of the state of bavaria just defended his vice from the FW for his "youth sins" of glorifying the holocaust and demanding another genocide against the jews. The CDU has a guy who is peddling the same replacement theory as Anders Breivik and sporting lots of antisemitic conspiracy theories. He also used to be the head of the german interior intelligence, that is supposed to prevent Nazis from infiltrating the government.

Thanks to the strong support of the "conservatives", Germany is on a fast track to fascism again. And a lot of it is quite close to the 1920s original series.

Damn I didn't realize it was getting bad over there as well, I thought the CDU was still sane (even if it was corrupt). I guess it was a question of time

We had 16 years of Merkel who did nothing to improve this country and now the same party is crying because our current government cant fix in 2 years the ruined in 16

He won't wear that permanently, they just wanted a memeable picture for the press release.

[–] Chariotwheel@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, he isn't blinded, of course he's not using that permanently. Although it gives him a dangerous flair. Not that many eyepatches on international leaders.

Are We the baddies?

I hope he gets better soon, I really like him in Christopher Nolan’s films
