    How could they leave out that the full title of the group is “Burgeriniative Lebensraum Vorpommern”. I can’t believe there’s a country where a citizen’s special interest group is called a “burger initiative” and it’s not America.

      The long and complex history of the completly expexted and average American "Hamburger -> Hamburger LOL " Comment

      starts with the Roman fortifications along the Border called Burgus - from which the Word “Burg” (Castle) developed … Castles beeing Places of Protection , Administration and Residents of the Lords - So the People living their had special Protection and Special functions for the State , they where the “protected” ones , inside the Fortifications. --> The Bürger. One of these fortifications was Called the Hammaburg , from there a Prosperous Bourgoise and Free Imperial city developed - Hamburg.

      From there in the 1880 many of the “Bürgers” would decide to take one of these “lebensraums” that the Anglos always throw on the white supremecy market.

      Little did they know that they would travel to a Land so primitv , it had not figured out “Meat on Bread” before So once arrived their Innovative Technology of puttig Meat on Bread would travel extremly fast through the land of their Arrival . the Anglos where so impressed by that , they made it their National Identity and named it after the Innovators that arrived from distant shores to share the Technique…

    The word really holds no negative connotation within German speaking spaces, east or west.

    It only gets Nazi adjacent when it is used within other languages. Otherwise it’s just the German word for habitat.

    “lebensraum” isnt that nazi conontated (Habitat) , to get an idea what you currently do ITT

    imagine a german threat where everbody is going " Ha ha ha , die Nennen sich “Community of US DESTINY” …

  • oof, you’d think the the German group would have used a name without the historical baggage.

    some kind of name to acknowledge the germans have a Master Plan for the East and the Poles are untermen-- ahem, I mean undermining it.
