The Sheer Insanity of Woke, By Richard Miller (Not in Germany)
At first I thought this one was false news, or April fool's Day, but April is some time ahead. No, it is true. You see, all political parties in Germany have their own colour. The anti-immigration Alternative für Deutschland, which is surging ahead in the polls, is blue. This has led to a general social freak-out among the elites. The supermarket corporation, the Edeka Group, was no exception, and has gone so far as to be anti-blue in its supermarket, to embrace diversity, which means, unending mass immigration. Here is their advertisement: "If you look closely, there's one colour you won't see: blue. And that's no coincidence. Because blue food is nature's way of warning us: "Watch out! I could be harmful!"
Evolution has taught us that blue is not a good choice.
And speaking of choices: blue is not only the natural enemy of a healthy diversity of fruit and vegetables. In Germany, 'the blues' are also the biggest threat to our diverse society.
So let's read the warning signs correctly ahead of the state elections in Saxony, Thüringen and Brandenburg in September – and ensure that we can live together in harmony. Because we love diversity."
The problem is that blueberries are blue. To deal with this, rather than stop selling them, they claimed that blueberries are not blue at all. They did not say what colour they are, but this is simply false, and shows the absurdity of the whole thing. But that is Leftist woke for you!
"In Germany, all political parties have a colour. The Christian Democratic Union and the Christian Social Union are black, the Social Democratic Party is red, the liberal Free Democratic Party are yellow and the evil fascist Alternative für Deutschland are blue. This coming Sunday, Thüringen and Saxony will hold state elections, and the blue AfD is leading the polls in both states with about 30% support. This has a lot of people very, very upset. Most of them are merely upset with the AfD, but some psychologically unstable people have allowed their anger to embrace the colour blue more generally, because there can be no limits when it comes to resisting the evil antidemocratic forces of fascism.
Among the new sworn enemies of the blue band of the visible electromagnetic spectrum are the marketing team at Germany's largest supermarket corporation, the Edeka Group. A few days ago, this supermarket chain, whose own logo strangely enough is primarily blue
…ran an ad in Die Zeit and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung explaining "Why Blue is Note on Offer at Edeka".
That wall of text in the middle reads as follows:
Yellow bananas, red tomatoes, green lettuce, purple grapes, orange carrots, pink dragon fruit… Edeka's fruit and vegetable department is full of colourful diversity. Or is it?
If you look closely, there's one colour you won't see: blue. And that's no coincidence. Because blue food is nature's way of warning us: "Watch out! I could be harmful!"

For those wondering whether Edeka has decided to cease selling fascist blue fruits like blueberries, there is a helpful note down in the corner:
There we learn that, while "'Blueberries' or 'Blue cabbage'" may have "'blue' in their names", their "colour pigments" are not blue. This is "at least what Science tells us – and as we know you should always listen to Science more". Nothing about this is remotely obnoxious; indeed, if current-year Germany needs anything, it is more blind platitudinous calls to Follow the Science – particularly when it comes to exonerating innocent fruits and vegetables from suspicion of blue fascism.
One could say many things about this brave anti-fascist stance against the colour blue.
Firstly, all the right people thought the ad was just wonderful. Katrin Göring-Eckardt, the odious Green politician we met in Wednesday's post, calls the campaign an "Important message". "Thank you, Edeka!" she exclaims, before proceeding to recommend that voters cast their ballot for the Greens instead, because they have a "natural colour in their name that offers protection against the blue-brown" fascists. The AfD, by contrast, is highly unnatural, its colour being associated only with evil anti-democratic things like the sky and the ocean and a wide variety of birds and so on."
