    yes, germans hate being german, subconsciously (or have internalized liberal cosmopolitanism as the core of New Germanness - don’t forget to be racist against Palestinians, who are the new Nazis)

      My mom’s hometown in Germany has 0 German flags (couldn’t find a single one, and I think that’s normal), meanwhile there were like 20 Ukrainian flags lmfao

      no they love it, it’s just being cosmopolitan well educated people is part of it so they really like to speak english. also most germans are turboboomers regardless of age who would never voluntarily enter english spaces because of it and therefore jump at any opportunity that presents itself to speak it
