In an attempt to get some control over the acute energy crisis now sweeping across Germany, the government implemented not long ago some measures to reduce gas and electricity consumption.
Energy consumption restrictions
For example, shops and businesses are not allowed to leave doors and windows open. After 10 pm, illuminated advertising must be turned off. At night, monuments and other sights can no longer be illuminated. Public buildings like city halls etc. will not heat their hallways anymore and the temperature in the offices is not allowed to exceed 19 degrees Celsius.
Energy greenshirts
And if you own a private pool, you are not allowed to heat it with gas or electricity anymore. To make sure this energy transgression never happens. the Quartiersmanagement Grunewald (Grunewald Neighborhood Management), “an Antifa squad”, has recently devoted itself to heating inspections, reports German bankruptcy monitoring site Pleiteticker.de here. “They are voluntarily turning themselves into the long arm of the state and want to check whether the federal government’s energy-saving regulations are actually being adhered to.”
Collectivizing swimming pools, saunas
Under the motto “Heat to the public good” the group wants to patrol the villa district in the upscale district of Grunewald and check whether the pools of the residents are being illegally heated.
On Twitter, the radical Antifa group writes: “If we find a hot pool in the villa district, it will be immediately collectivized in the sense of public pool parties.” But not only pools, also “sighted saunas will be directly socialized.” They add that they will also be accompanied by punk rock bands.

Silly little middle-class children who still live with their mum and dad.
They will not try this in Texas.
“They will not try this in Texas.“

The way things are going it will be sooner than you think.
That is a fact…presently south of houston tx…beto signs and covid propaganda galore…it will happen in TX though maybe with some resistance
Possibly just once…
First chuckle of my day (-:
…
They will start in the “safe” zones first, like Austin.
Or in Florida
That’s true – but of course, most of us don’t consider Austin part of Texas.
Shades of things to come
It turns out that more people in Austin have weapons that you would think.
Your honor, this raving mob was attacking and I feared for my family’s lives so I grabbed my AR15 and had to empty a 30-round magazine just to stop them.
Exactly the first thing I thought after reading the story.
This seems to be more their target
Hilarious
Funny how this “Antifa” more and more resembles the very thing they claim to oppose and strive against.
EXACTLY! this is the way of the Left: blame the other side for what they are doing, so to confuse the opposition. Or so they think.
Antifa was actually born in Germany during the Weimar republic. They were communists then, and they are still communists now. Look at this picture of their headquarters and notice how they use the same flag that ANTIFA still uses today.
Thats the KPD or communists
The facists were the rightwing party which attacked the liberal newspapers and the election processes
The National Socialist German Workers Party were socialists. Fascism is corporate-statism where as Mussolini said everything is for the state, nothing is outside the state, nothing is against the state. It is a form of collectivism just as socialism is a form of collectivism.
People on the Right aren’t collectivists, aren’t socialists and aren’t fascists; we are for classical liberalism, limited government and a constitutional republic.
No they werent , the compound word nationalsocialist had nothing to do with socialism ( which comes from the latin word socii or allies.
There were 2 major socialist parties in Germany at the the time KPD and SPD. the NSDAP wasnt socialist in the english meaning
Theres a conservative party today in Germany which still uses social in its name in the original meaning of allies.
Christian Social Union in Bavaria or CSU https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Social_Union_in_Bavaria
The nazis may be closer to your line of thinking
What utter stupidity and naivety – socialists, Nazis, communists are all the same: Godless bullies with no morals, who think they know better than you, and think they are doing you a favor even as they have your head under their boot.
Politics is not left or right. It’s a disk – with sensible, rational people, ie: conservatives who are cautious even as they work to improve things, with communists and fascists on the edge – the only difference between them is the fascists usually dress and smell better than the communists. Jokes aside, the EU and the rest of the west are really run by fascists – yes they act and talk like socialists, but since they don’t nationalize everything and try to run things directly, they’re smarter and let the experts run the businesses and just tax and regulate them ad nauseum.
None of them have any respect for basic human rights.
Heard an interesting comment recently, there is no longer left or right, it is now countries fighting to retain either their own sovereignty or be ‘Open Societies’ ruled by unelected bureaucrats.
This Duker sim is as stupid and naive as griff.
Who cares what their policies were.
They were bad guys, therefore they could not possibly be socialist.
No, you’re wrong. The NAZI’s were socialists.
They weren’t “social” they were socialist. But nice try. They were National Socialists.
The German government set up the first state organised recycling scheme in the late 1930s. Just who was running Germany then? Collectivised recycling. What could be more socialist.
Fascists were never right wing, though you socialists often try to claim otherwise.
Britain’s most notorious fascist (Oswald Moseley) said that he was left wing: “I am not, and never have been, a man of the right. My position was on the left and is now in the centre of politics.”. He was also in favour of a pan-European government.
The difference between Fascism and Communism is that the corporates are involved in Fascism while under Communism everything is nationalised. That does tend to mean that Fascism works a little better as industry still operates well. What we are seeing in the USA is much closer to Fascism since the corporates have all gone left-wing but their policies are making life difficult for industry, and especially agriculture so that there will be Communist food shortages.
Ironic that the old slogan on that building claims that they are against war, hunger and fascism, when the modern antifas are the most rabid warmongers, supporting the continued occupation of Syria and the military escalation in Ukraine, and they also are the most rabid supporters of the green agenda which will greatly exacerbate world hunger through artificial energy crises and forced deindustrialization. They are also against individual freedom and for the red-black leftist fascism.
first I heard of them I was puzzled that Fascists were saying they were anti
and they got the govt nod to loot pillage and ruin by senilejoe
It’s such a well known fact that only fascists heat their swimming pools, which s why ANTIFA the anti fascist (apparently) group are hunting them down.
If you want to know what anarchy looks like, ANTiFA is the living example of it.
Fascist vigalante’s – the next step will be to issue armbands, then uniforms I’d guess. Dark times have come round again.
All they need for uniforms is a brown shirt and armband.
That should bring back memories.
Of course they’ll have to retcon all previous accounts of brown shirt wearing “good” citizens.
Oh it will be GREEN shirts which will make all the difference in the world.
They are already clad in black shirts and their armbands are replaced by face coverings.
Where the brown shirts were proud of their activism and wanted everyone to know who they are; today’s antifa are fearful of the public’s response.
We already have the Black Bloc here in the UK. Completely black, and masked. When they attacked our group Keep Talking, they seemed to be in league with the London Metropolitan Police, who were prohibiting people from either entering or leaving.
Many still believe the police provide a service to the public. But since they changed them from being police ‘forces’ to police ‘services’ they do no such thing, and I heard that from a police officer. And since the transition from a ‘force’ they now dress like 3rd world paramilitaries as opposed to the police uniforms.
More absurd is antifascists becoming rabidly fascist in the name of antifascism.
“In Italy, fascists divide themselves into two categories: fascists and anti-fascists.” – Ennio Flaiano commenting in postwar Italy.
I hope they get arm bands. It makes decision-making easier.
And aiming…
I loved the Malcom X symbol on baseball caps.
I imagine saunas disguised as ovens. What could go wrong?
How long before the loonies decide that you should not be permitted to cook?
Or eat?
Might be different for them, of course . . . .
Auto
Germany relives the 1930s.
The Biden administration seems to be setting up to make America also relive the 1930s, Trudeau is ruining Canada, Ardern might as well have a moustache, and Australia–well, I’ve never been able to figure out Australia but I think that’s by design. Is reliving the 1940s going to be appearing on the horizon next? Blowing up international pipelines seems a good way to start.
I am Australian and I can’t figure us out any longer either. We are putting up with the most absurd cr*p but I do detect some signs of resistance developing. Just not sure it will be enough.
the debacle created BY media over the christian chap/coach is prime examples of the insanity here too
his private life and beliefs being pilloried BY a$$holeandrOOZE today. virtue signalling freak!
And soon the rest of us will be reliving the 1940’s. Only this time with nuclear weapons.
Are they wearing brown shirts while they do this?
Red is the new brown.
yeah ohbummers special kiddies in redshirts..remember that
Green Heil, Green Heil, Green Heil…_
I was in Melbourne in 2019 when the first Green New Deal rally was held in support of AOC’s lunacy policies. It involved all the city’s schools taking their children to demonstrate outside the Victoria parliament complex. The children were egged on by their teachers and maybe a parent or two, difficult to say. The chant that was going out over the loud hailers and shouted by the kids with arms in the air was “Reach Higher”!, “Reach Higher”!, “Reach Higher”! The distortion of sound echoing across the open park area was chilling, it perfectly matched the famous Nazi chant.
It brought a whole new experience of group dynamics into play, in Australia of all places frightening to see the full on indoctrination of children by the Green fascists.
green HELL
Antifa(cist) = Procom(munist)
Ah, very 1968…..
Where are the (unheated) water cannons when you need them?
Can we mix in ice chunks?
Should have been used at the Capitol in jan 2021
You really do hate it when conservatives peacefully assemble.
Hehehe . Quite a death toll from the riot.
the peaceful assembly was the one in front of the White house, but were incited to riot by Big Donny who reneged on going to the Hill himself
many have pleaded quilty to charges of violence and further trials are under way
The Oathkeepers leader said their biggest mistake was not bringing their guns.
‘The founder of the Oath Keepers extremist group and four associates planned for an “armed rebellion” to stop the transfer of presidential power on January 6, 2021….’
Incredibly and absurdly wrong.
Read a lot of comic books?
The only person who died was an unarmed woman.
What trials? Most of them have been in pre-trail detention for longer than the longest possible sentence they could have gotten.
What is it with socialists and their complete inability to deal with reality?
Imagine coming to the commentary on a world blog to show everyone how mindless and stupid a comment you can make.
…….and uni-corns do exist!!!!!
Sure it wasn’t 1938?
I hope the Antifa jerks are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Beyond that, given the neighborhood, I would not be surprised if most of the residents have at least vocally been supportive of the Nut Zero proposals that got Germany into this mess. So I hope the residents are both embarrassed and shamed by the revelation that they are ignoring the laws that they want forced onto others.
‘I hope the Antifa jerks are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.’
This is Germany, so they’re probably receiving a government grant for this.
Antifa is the very model of fascism. Environmental Antifa is the very model of a cargo cult.
Fascism is government control with private ownership.
Communism is government control and ownership.
The only difference between fascism and communism is a meaningless piece of paper.
Crocs in the pool suddenly becomes surprisingly fashionable.
Coming to a Portland gated community near you.
Government’s answer to the problem they have caused.
They should be collectivised into the nearest prison
What about large propane containers? Are they going to be collectivized too? Asking for a friend.
Punk Rock bands never subscribed to this sort of activity.
On the plus side, people who can afford such things tend to have more political clout. Maybe they will begin to realise they have been duped into going along with very silly green ideas about energy supply.
And who is the artist for the frontispiece. I quite like it.
I’ve checked their online stuff and nowhere do these people claim to be ‘antifa’.
That doesn’t exist in Germany – it is a right wing US label
and I don’t think these people are entirely serious.
I’ve also checked their online pages and, although they do not call themselves antifa, their aims and methods appear to be similar, hence the use of “antifa squad” instead. They do appear to be affiliated to international groups which are, in turn, affiliated to antifa which, although no direct link, would seem to indicate common interest. As to their level of humour, do you really want to wait until these groups get serious? Germany in the 1930’s was when ‘community action’ groups like these got quite serious – you really want to see that again?
some people, if they thought it meant that their side was winning, would be OK with seeing that again.
Doesn’t exist in Germany?

Didn’t look very hard, did you Griff?
For the “griffs” of the world, whatever spills out of their mouths that sounds like it might be true is considered to be “true,” even when these folks contradict themselves with other “truths.”
For griff, truth is determined by whatever is in this weeks talking points memo from the Party.
or cult.
Same thing.
So the fact that they call themselves antifa, and put that name on all of their communications is just further evidence of how pervasive the right wing conspiracy is.
It really amazes me how far you socialists will go in order to disguise what you are doing.
Of course they call themselves “Antifa”! I live in Berlin and see their stickers, banners and graffiti every day, using all the Commpunist symbols of the past including that flag-logo shown elsewhere in this thread in a photo from the 1930s. To them, everyone disagreeing is a Fascist who in their eyes has no rights and may be bodily attacked. There are whole streets in Berlin-Kreuzberg, and have been for years, where police doesn’t dare to enter (in fact, is politically prohibited to enter in the name of “keeping the peace”, because naturally our red-green municipal government views anybody who “fights against Fascism” as sacrosanct).
Accompanied by punk bands..
Terrifying those well trained, muscular top-fit athletic … oh wait.
Punks are glue-sniffing walking skeletons.
What is the threat here? … industrial scale pity?, stomach ripping laughter?. Headdesking yourself unconscious when confronted with 110% undiluted premium grade stupidity?
On a different subject. Anyone know how to wash out Antifa blood? Asking für ein freund.
Soon they will be sharing hot showers with you. I’d look forward to that.
Especially when they drop the soap !!! (:-))
Nope. Most of the people in the protest picture appear to be angry young men. Can’t see any ‘enjoyment’ factor there at all.
These are exactly the sort of people who can be recruited to perform eco-terrorism with a little foreign assistance as a response to NATO destroying the Russian pipeline.
Let’s hope it doesn’t happen during the long cold energy shortage winter.
You really will believe anything Putin tells you to believe.
Why would Putin waste ammo blowing up the pipeline when he can and has just turned the tap off?
It puts more pressure on Europe.
It serves as great propaganda, just look at how the trolls have taken it as further proof of how NATO and the west is just being mean to poor Putin.
He wasn’t getting any revenue from the pipelines, so blowing a small hole in them cost him nothing.
Cost of repairing said small hole is tiny compared to the propaganda gains.
At least we can be sure that Antifa are not capable of such high-level terrorism. We all know who did it. Biden said as much in February.
Or Putin did it because he knew everyone would blame Binden and NATO.

Still part of the “plan”. Germany is entering the “citizen police” stage where everyone is suspect and pointing fingers at everyone else, leaving themselves out of the picture. My bet is when winter comes knocking they forget about saving electricity and worry more about producing heat. They will care more about surviving than being “green”.
