Oh, I suppose I'll pass on those things--the last thing I need is still another high calorie treat I'm supposed to be avoiding!
Mark Twain poked fun at politicians a lot, so I'm a big fan. His most banned book is "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", which has a lot of talk about slavery and throws the "N" word around a lot. Of course, anyone who actually reads it discovers it's an ANTI-slavery story, but everyone's too busy getting attention by being offended to realize that.
Well, its only a matter of giving it the right label, I guess. Instead of calling it "eating sweets", call it "discovering german culture". And there is much to discover... :)
I often have the impression that many so called "activists" have no clue about what they are complaining about. Its just a way of avoiding being a nobody.

Sometimes when you're young you just want to rebel, and don't much care what you're rebelling against. Organizers take full advantage of that, unfortunately.

Yes, young people hate to think that they are insignificant. That makes them vulnerable to clever people who want to use them.
Over the years I learned that it's a good thing to be insignificant, at least officially. It's a bit like being invisible. Nobody cares what you do, because it's not interesting. It's like being a stone among piles of poo, you appear to be boring - but the flies leave you alone.

That's excellent reasoning, and a great idea!
