Is anyone here from a country NOT called USA where they pile up a bunch of people in the background of a politician who then gets applause for everything?
I have literally never seen this in Europe. In Germany, we'd probably consider this "weird" in case our politicians did that. Feels a bit like clicking the thumbs-up button of my own social media post...
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

Ich finde gerade auf Anhieb nicht mehr die Quelle bei der ich zum ersten Mal davon gehört oder gelesen habe, aber es handelte sich um ein Auftritt von Erich Honecker meine ich. Er lief oder fuhr alleine entlang einer Strecke an Leuten vorbei die ihm und/oder seiner Begleitung zujubelten. Erwähnt wurden dabei "gesellschaftliche Kräfte", aus den Reihen der lokalen Bevölkerung die dazu entweder von der Stasi oder Volkspolizei dorthin kommandiert wurden oder aber in zivil zusammen mit anderen loyalen Leuten diese lokale Bevölkerung für die Medien mimten. Um Akzeptanz bzw. Begeisterung zu suggerieren, wohlmöglich auch unterschwellig eine gewisse Kultur der Angst zu schüren oder einen Konformitätsdruck zu erzeugen. Trump, MAGA-Strategen und die Republikaner machen das aus meiner Sicht quasi genauso und auch hier gibt es so stark von der Ideologie eingenommene die sogar noch Geld dafür bezahlen dort hinzureisen und sich mit allerlei Produkten einzudecken.
