Most of the german meme internet history is, surprise, garbage. This one is grand tho. Nikel Pallat was a member of far left german punk band Ton, Steine, Scherben which enjoys itself limited success even today. Very a part of the 70s german left when they still had balls, occupying houses and fighting cops (more) and such.

Nikel Pallat (N): The TV does a fucking shitty liberal programme. We get the opportunity to parlour socialistically, some of us get to talk evolution, some of us talk revolution.

N: And what happens, objectively? The oppression doesn’t change at all. TV is an instrument of opression for the masses. And that’s why, if anything is ever to change, you have to position yourself against the opressor. You have to assume a position!

N: And that’s why I’ll destroy this table right now!

[axe noises]

N: There! Now we can continue discussion.

N: The microphones…the microphones I need for people in juvenile jail.
