German satirists trolled german version of Tea Party
Pegida. It started as movement that thought that too many immigrants are coming to Germany. Until more and more people joined. People that were disaffected by many, many other things that irk them. Pensions, electricity-costs, animal-rights... They launched huge demonstrations, until they were revealed to be nothing more than immigrant-haters. All talk, but when they get asked for actual, practical political demands, they draw a blank.
Pegida has shrunk a lot since its best days, but it's not gone yet and provides a cover to spout Neonazi-slogans while pretending to be nothing more than concerned ordinary citizens.
And its members are still united in a core-belief: Don't trust the mainstream-media.
The satire-magazine "Titanic" launched a political party about a decade ago, "Die Partei". They are known for paroles that not quite make sense and for exposing flaws in the political process.
Pegida recently invited the famous dutch right-winger Geert Wilders. Among the crowd were members of "Die Partei" and they had a sign with a dutch slogan. The Pegida-members weren't able to translate it. Geert Wilders surely was.
Translated:
"Pegida loves your dick"
In December 2014, "Die Partei" pulled a similar stunt. They joined a demo with a sign with a right-wing slogan, but with a hidden message.
The abbreviation says "Homofürsten", which translates in english to something like "lords of the homos".
