how much do you know about the internal politics and society in germany.

how much do you know about german culture and society.

germany is not like america. america is anglo-saxon driven not teutonic.

"lugen presse" was a thing in germany way before twitter and way before its foundation in america.




"president" of germany can't arrest anyone.

you mean chancellor i guess.
I actually disagree with you here. The largest white immigrant group in America is of German ancestry (10% of US population). In many respects they are still culturally similar. Some towns in Pennsylvania you’d swear you were in Bavaria.

German architecture is rampant throughout the Midwest too, South America also has a big pop of descendants.

ever lived independently in germany? not on base but where you had to independently interface with govt institutions, services, utilities, banks. the law?

can you understand german? ever looked at a german contract? ever looked at a german language car magazine?

there are parts of cologne that look like parts of london but the are not at all similar culturally.

there are parts of austria which look just like bavaria over the border. but austria and germany have different cultures.

TL;DR in short how much do you know about germany really?

i have lived in germany and the USA and I have done all of the above in both.

if anything of german culture has leaked into broader america culture it is the health consciousness (in the west), the appearance consciousness, and the drive to build systems out of everything based on data aka rules bias vs. principles (except possibly in law) and some engineering technical stuff.

in terms of lived daily experience the mentalities are opposite - rule avoidance vs. being hide-bound to being controlled. unit vs. collective.

They need to ban Twitter. Apparently, AFD is growing in support because of the same issues to plague us: white people being afraid of Immigrants for no reason, and widespread propaganda and misinformation... which primarily comes from X.

These kats are better than me. If I were president, I'd imprison all AFF members and start marking their supprters:mjlol:.

All jokes aside, X needs to be banned, but they need to find a solution to the misinformation, and as to how to convert AFD supporters.
Its not “NO REASON” bro… Muslims dont really mix with Europe that well and people dont wanna have that convo :francis:

Theres terror attacks like every few months over there :francis:

Done significant business travel and stayed at most a week at a time in Düsseldorf, Munich, koln, stuttgart, tubingen etc…clearly the two populations are different due to environment and other ethnic groups, however, my point is there are probably more similarities than differences culturally particularly political.

This looks inevitable. Green Party fell off something awful and AfD picked up the scraps.
:francis:

AFD looks to be taking votes from CDU, SPD and the FDP.

The green party lost votes I guess because they are blamed for germany's energy policy of recent years, of turning nuclear power off and relying on renewables and russia.

Unlike in say france.



Because of these issues germans are being forced to renew their heating systems, at the cost of thousands, plus are paying much more for energy costs.

The rules on that have changed so many times but this link will give you an idea

so you have no idea.

can you speak german? ever exposed to german language media? german language political programs? german language chitter-chatter?

in original language or even translated?

how much have you consumed?

if you had to cluster the 5 cities that you named above in terms of cultural and structural similarity, how would you do it? what would be the result?

That energy act is intense - 65% renewable energy overnight!
I’m sure the decoupling from Russian gas provoked this. If I’m a building manufacturer I’d be pissed too. If I’m in an apartment I’m buying one of them junior sized solar panels for my plant box.
