Enjoy, if you will (my translation below the image):

If your hair stands on end yet again in the face of the stupidity of this moment in time: when faced with all the unqualified, mindless bleating about the Ukrainian conflict, about Israel and Palestine, about geopolitics in general, you happen to ask yourself, startled, whether this might somehow be a spontaneous, collective outbreak of mental degeneration…

…then consider how many millions of lives have been saved in the last 3 years by the courageous commitment of THOSE SAME intellectually overqualified people. then you’ll be fine.

And here’s the translation of the billboard:

Because of Corona:

Lützelsee [hiking] trail use permitted only one-way.

‘nuff said, I s’ppose.
