Why is Germany so much more economically powerful than its neighbors despite being broken and beaten down several times?

>tfw as rich as 3 t*uton states
later bitch

Tradition of industry and education, large population and extremly favourable geographic position.

Lithuania is so big...
Did you know we have pagans?

W we.. w. we're st st still besties right?

Pagans, who are those?

romuva

Because it has like over 10x the population of those other other countries

>so much more economically powerful

Bavaria: 13 million people
switzerland: 8 million people
same gdp

uhh wtf is this?

>Baden-Württemberg
Holy shit what an awful name for a state

Po Perkūnais, kaip čia aš taip.
What paganism is dominant in Germany?

Protestants

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannulated_cow

Stomach holes to check on their digestion.
Its a swiss thing though.

Isn't it obvious? They are the preordained master race! What people could lose 2 world wars, pretty much invade an entire continent; east and west - get destroyed and rebuild within 50 years to be an economic power house again. I can't think of a more powerful people. Why do you think the jews and brainwashed every other White nation to hate them? Why is the jew always calling for German destruction? Because their are the superior people. They pretty much built the US along with the Irish.
Superior machinery, cars, precision instruments, etc.....

they're pagans?

And the most populous country.
Small detail.

That's so fucking weird man

If thats meant to be a serious question, as far as I know there is maybe a few thousand """Asatru""" in Germany. But these are LARPers and not real pagans.
I guess Buddhists and Hindus might count as pagans depending on how you define it.

The economy is also much bigger per capita.
Its a factor but not really the biggest one.

Since Perkūnas means, thunder. Does that mean that he corresponds to Thor instead of Odin?

i hear they are dedicated/hard workers

so collective soulless autism indeed

Yes, Odin/Wotan only became the "main" deity much later. Thor/Donnar/Perun etc.
His weapon is also usually a hammer.

If they call Wotan „Odin“, they're larpers for sure

Donar was never the main diety
The one-handed Diens was
But Wodan was more fitting because he was the more wise

Rich neighbors + big population + center of Europe + nice flat terrain + Rhine river and blue banana = very good economy

yes, it was serious question and that's the answer I was looking for, danke.

ISTJ mentality. All ISTJ (Germanics, East Asians), ESTJ (Anglos) and ENTJ (Ashkenazi Jews) nations are very rich regardless of history, religion and geography. They are also very obnoxious and toxic people with no empathy, but that's the downside of this type of mindset.

Either the ancient Finns stole the name of the Balts did. Etymology fascinates me.

yes, in Romuvan faith, Sun was forged by him, so he is one of the main Dieties, Perkūnas is one of the most popular ones and is used one of the expressions such as "darn" - po Perkūnais.

Heavily industrialized since 19th century, culture of obedience and productivity (also known as slave mentality), 85 million inhabitants.

Dievas is the Diety of the sky.

It gets even more interesting, since in Lithunian "perkele" menas to transfer/replace object.

As far as I know they didn't steal anything from each other.
The name is of Indo-European origin, both words have the same root.
But when the Christians came they changed the names of the old gods to be synonymous with devil/demon

>Dievas
And Teiwaz is one of the most important gods in early germanic faiths, and the counterpart to the norse Tyr.
Both come from the same root of "Dyeus" from which also the greek Zeus comes.

The topic of the common origin and cross-pollination of, in particular, the germanic, baltic and slavic religions is extremly interesting.
The baltic sea and the amber road allowed a level of exchange between these groups that is still almost entirely mostly unknown.

What type are you?

And that's a good thing.

He (Tius) is the god of Skies and War here too

Devil the God of underworld or death depending on the sources, Pikolas is the name in Lithuanian, this suggests that even Japanese had some quite old connection with European people.
I really enjoy filology, fascinating subject.
P.S. considering we are the last pagans in Europe we managed to save a lot of old tongue meanings.

I guess that's where; laba diena comes from; a way to praise the sky deity in the morning. Good sky....maybe I don't know.
Interesting. I took A1 Lithuanian at Tallinn university, your language is difficult, but indeed beautiful in its form.

Much can be learned from Lithuania
They are too forgotten often times

yes, i have some books on those subjects all are very good, on that note Tėvas in Lithuanian means father.

Finnish did take words from old Germanic in its proto form, so I guess the Finnic people in old Estonia picked up some Lithuanian/Latvian along the way. It wouldn't surprise me.

in Lithuania Dievas is the God of sky and Perkūnas is of war.

>we managed to save a lot of old tongue meanings.
That's a good thing! Too bad it doesn't have even more old words.

Tius symbolizes war with bravery but Wotan symbolizes war with strategy

yeah, could be.

It's language as any other, just very old, I for example really enjoy English it helped me to find a different perspective on my own language.

modern slavery, 40% of Germans have zero assets

I sometimes enjoy when Lithuania is forgotten in some cases, considering politics.

the richness of Germany has nothing to do with slavery, although today we are basically enslaved by America
back in the days Germany used to be the freest country on earth

yeah, I am working on bringing back some forgotten words into casual language.

Hanseatic League or free cities or tribal confederacies? Frisians voted their own nobles btw, even in Medieval times.

Yes, but Bavarians are lazy.

I didn't mean literal enslavement, just referring to the incredibly high wealth inequality in Germany

>40% of Germans have zero assets
How is this possible?

Its often believed to be the most archaic indo-european language at least in europe and serves a huge role in understanding the eytmological relations of these languages.

>the richness of Germany has nothing to do with slavery
Lets not kid ourselves, the richness of all modern nations has a lot to do with slavery in supplier countries.

I think a lot of that comes down to the tradition of the Tag or Thing. Which, amusingly enough for this tangent, was watched over bei Teiwaz.

It would be cool if y'all could bring back "dual".

My City has as heraldic Image the the Linde, place to hold council and judgement. Even in Post pagan times.

Unsure how much you actually have in industry though. Money is money, but a large percent is probably finance or tourism. Also work, but less tangible products .

what is "dual"?

Its not, its also not true.
It is true that germans have on average a lot less assets than comparable countries though.

>Nestle
>Roche
>Novartis
>ABB
You tried, you failed.

wealth inequality here isnt really worse than everywhere else. and certainly not as bad as in america.

I said "unsure", sadly only know two. Nestle is huge, totally forgot. Memes about them buying all The Water rights.
