Government report estimates 28,000 of Alternative for Germany's 70,000 members have potential for right-wing extremism, as far-right party outstrips chancellor's in national polls
A friend had his American friend come to visit him last year and they had me over to chill.
At some point he told a joke that didn’t land and excused himself over nothing. So I said, completly straight faced, “Oh, I’m sorry, that was really funny, this is just how we laugh around here”.
It was probably funnier in the moment, but the next ten minutes was me trying to keep a straight face while he was trying to get me to laugh. We were both in on the joke and it was hysterical.
Like, this is by all means a dumb stereotype. But it’s pretty harmless. And if you laugh at it, it literally disproves itself.
