    I also like the sextant the GDR added to represent knowledge workers.

    This is a repost of bad conservative Onion ripoff, The Babylon Bee, though. So I expect only the most shallow, baby-brained, “jokes” your average chud could muster

    Context matters. Could have been funny, if it were a self-deprecating joke. But now I think “ah, they don’t know what they’re talking about”.

      That’s a compass (math kind not navigation kind) not a sextant. A sextant would be more likely to represent the mercantile class than knowledge workers. But yeah I love their symbol because it really shines as a symbol for German communism by including a tool associated with engineers.
