I'm sure he meant that Willy Brandt's memoirs were a better read.

Right?
Got damn
British right wingers scoring cheap points against Germans but then getting all butthurt if you bring up, you know, things.
You sucking the shit out of the asshole of fascism is not a virtue. Neither is having a tantrum when I call it out..
- I laughed 🤷‍♂️
  
  You! Less reaction memes, more hacking the planet!.
- Did you just claim that a sixteen word satirical headline stretched your patience? Lol

  Hostility towards any sign of intelligence is always the first step in the downfall of any society.

  “Standing up to oppression is cowardly”
  
  Clearly, your brain has been washed and rinsed a few hundred times. I pity you.

  People have different tastes. What I find funny, you may not like it and vise versa.
  
  Some people consider some things too serious to joke about. Some people don't. I am one of those people that say that there is nothing in this world, that cannot be joked about.
  
  It is absolutely possible to take something serious and at the same time laugh about it.
  
  Tell yourself what you have to to excuse your enablement of fascism.
  
  I feel sorry for you. But more sorry for the people who will be hurt because of your actions and decisions.
  
  Don’t bother replying because I’ve blocked you
