Cornelius Oettle hat da ein Gedicht in der #taz geschrieben und der junge Storch fühlte sich angesprochen:
Scheißt eiskalt auf diesen Mann,
so scheißt, bis er sich häutet!

Scheißt! Vielleicht versteht er dann,
was „Vogelschiss“ bedeutet.

Shit ice-cold on this man,
shit until he sheds his skin!
Shit! Maybe then he'll understand
what “Vogelschiss” means.

Vogelschiss -> Birds Poop:
In 2018, the founding member of the German far-right party AfD, the right-wing populist Alexander Gauland said "Hitler and the Nazis are just a speck of bird poop in more than 1,000 years of successful German history"

i don't understand what it means exactly...
Gauland wanted to express with his sentence
Hitler und der Nationalsozialismus seien in 1000 Jahren deutscher Geschichte nur ein „Vogelschiss“
(Hitler et le national-socialisme ne sont qu'un « épiphénomène » en mille ans d'histoire allemande)
that Germany had achieved so much glory in its 1000 years of history that one could forget the 12 years of Nazi terror, forget the millions of dead and the destruction...
and in response to this trivialization Cornelius Oettle wrote the poem which I quoted and illustrated with stork gif...
