This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The poster says; "We protect our children"

The extended arm i guess shapes a roof over the children?

There are so many fucked up layers to this, like using the term "Schutz," as in "Schutzstaffel."

doesn’t Schutz mean protect? And in the case off the SS doesn’t it mean “guard”?

AfD are neonazis but im not sure the word choice is that odd.

Yes, Shutzstaffel means "protection squadron." Maybe deliberate, maybe not, but combined with the Nazi salutes and blond-haired, blue eyed kids it's not great phrasing IF you aren't trying to invoke Nazi imagery.
