While this funny, please read the article, because you need to know what these people have been caught planning.
ZPS set up a website with pictures of the 1,500 rioters they’d identified, but visitors to the site could only see 20 pictures at a time. So frantic fascists went to the site’s search bar to see if they’d been named.
“The first thing they’re doing is using the search function on the website to input their own name, or somebody they know, but who nobody else knows, in order to see if this website really works,” Ruch said, “to see if it’s really possible that we identified 1,500 people.”
The site received a traffic boost after a far-right website linked to it, Ruch said. ZPS built a map of names that appeared in the same users’ searches. From those searches, alone, they learned the names and associates of approximately 25 rioters they hadn’t previously identified.
“What we got was quite a network of who knows who, and who else was in Chemnitz,” Ruch said.
U.S. anti-fascists have pulled similar stunts. This summer, undercover activists cozied up to the organizers of a far-right march, and offered to make a website and coordinate T-shirt orders for the event. The website, which did not charge for T-shirts, asked participants for their names and addresses, supposedly to calculate shipping costs. Instead of sending free T-shirts, the activists behind the website published the names and addresses they received.
ZPS’s performances have previously landed it on far-right extremists’ hit lists. In April, German police arrested a soldier who was suspected of planning far-right terror attacks, which he allegedly wanted to blame on refugees. The man also reportedly kept a list of leftist figures he wanted to murder, among them ZPS affiliates.
A September investigation into the alleged would-be-terrorist revealed a larger ring of suspected extremism among Germany’s military elite. Germany’s FOCUS magazine reported that the criminal investigation had uncovered a network of far-right soldiers and officers planning for apocalyptic violence on “Day X,” when they would take over the country.
“It’s terrifying, but I don’t want to live in a country where I can’t do radical political art,” Ruch said. “We need to know who this is, who finances it, who the driving forces are.”
good on ZPS for sure but uhhhhhh holy fucking shit that bolded paragraph made my stomach flip upside down
The reason why different floors of buildings are called “stories” is because each floor has a different story within its walls.
On the fifth floor is Mrs. Marigold, who lives with a cat who hates her and desperately wants to get away but doesn’t know how. The cat isn’t smart enough to figure out how to open the door and Mrs. Marigold never lets her cat out without a leash on.
On the ninth floor lives Beth and Rupert, a newlywed couple who are both jealous of each others’ job. Beth is a stock broker for a big stock exchange while Rupert is an urban gardener. Beth recently got more into gardening, while Rupert is fascinated by the nuances of the stock market. They’d both love to do each others’ job but are devastated by the fact that the companies they work for would never allow them to switch.
On the tenth floor is Old Man McDoonald, who hates his name because everyone thinks it’s McDonald, when it isn’t. It’s McDoonald. He wishes all of his neighbors, especially that no-good-troublemaker Jimmy Louis from across the hall, would stop singing that awful nursery rhyme about the animals. It’s McDoonald. He’s made himself perfectly clear.
On the fifteenth floor is Charles, a sad young man who pays the bills by streaming himself playing video games. Forced to play past the point of enjoyment, CharlieGamer93 scrapes by a meager living playing hours upon hours of the latest games, desperately hoping that he’ll gain a handful of subscribers each day. Some days he forgets to eat, but that’s actually superior to the alternative because it means less bathroom breaks and more videos for his demanding audience.
On the sixteenth floor, everyone is really happy and boring. Nothing to report there.
Stan is either a rogue or a monk, Mabel is probably a Bard-barian (yes, she made that up by herself, and YES, she has an electric guitar that can transform into a two-handed axe and conjour puppies whenever she rolls a nat20)
