Intellectual and cultural wasteland since WW2

>intellectual and cultural wasteland since WW2.

That's literally only America. Here we are rich in tradition, art and culture. Places like France and Italy are only a 1hr drive away too.

Being reminded about ww2 isnt a bad thing, its a very interesting topic especially as a german. Every place and every family has their own little ww2 story. There was an AA gun at my old school, a friends grandfather got in trouble for stating " you can't have a week market without jews". He was forced to stand on the market eith a sign saying "I trade with jews" as punishment. Lots of interesting stories like that.The guilt thing is more of a meme. Of course we feel sorry, but more as an abstract concept, like you say you feel sorry for someones loss. Most people dont loose sleep over it, and many feel a little bit of pride over our performance.

Sounds like a Trump tweet

Film and video games took off in America since WW2. And hip hop was invented.

>Film
like books for retards
>Video Games
Japs made it big, and it's just mild entertainment for kids
>hip hop
Ok Tyrone

Gothic is one of my favorite videogame franchises and it was made by a German company.

>Germany has been an intellectual AND cultural wasteland since WWII, despite stealing our manufacturing jobs. I will make the Germans pay! More military bases to be opened!

The dream

Germans are the most bullied group on Jow Forums.

It hurts so much.

>Get absolutely destroyed in two world wars
>STILL the powerhouse of Europe
I mean, that's pretty impressive in itself

>absolutely destroyed in two world wars

Why do they hate us so?

same with Japan. got nuked twice, firebombed to shit, navy obliterated, cultural traditions shattered, and their emperor exposed but now they are a major economic powerhouse.

But you guys helped them with the Marshall Plan. You needed them to counter Soviet and Chinese influence.

The aid given to Japan was peanuts.

Kind of. The Marshall plan was mostly about making money though, which is why US business lobbied so hard for it. Rebuild Europe and Japan at the taxpayer’s expense so they can buy shit our private sector produces. Public expense, private profit.

US corporations also grew pissed at the Marshal plan in the ‘70s, since German and Japanese companies were starting to push American ones out of the market with superior products.

Examples pls?

This

All we gave Japan is a crappy reformed government, and some rapes. We literally rebuilt all of Germany and risked war to send free goods to West Berlin, we basically forked the tab for them for 40 years.

>We literally rebuilt all of Germany

LMAO

Britain rebuilt Volkswagen so it wasn't all America

>Britain rebuilt Volkswagen

LMAO

Read a book you ignorant kraut

Nice pilpul, Shlomo.

Should have given you to the Soviets so you're population would fall to 30 million, I swear you rape babies are ungrateful

>you're population

AMERICAN EDUCATION LOL

Damn, didn't catch that. My bad

Actually DDR was also a big car manufacturer

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HQM_Sachsenring_GmbH

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobilwerk_Eisenach

Germans are nice people. I've always got on well with the ones I've met.

But why do they hate us so?

Not only that, they are also the only reason you have an actual manufacturing industry. You were the only country that received protection from imports, otherwise, you'd be worse off than Poland.

Pay debts!

it's bc you call phones "handies" and there's only so much we can tolerate

Lmfao forgot about this

fuck off to pol you moron

>it's bc you call phones "handies"

This is correct and I'm so ashamed over it. We also call hitchhiking "trampen".

Greece fell into civil strife because we didn't hold their hand and pushed them in their stroller like we did with you.

If we did half of what we did for you ingrates, they'd have a much stronger economy

Oh also, you were relieved of billions of dollars in reparations and literal loans that Germany forced other countries to give them. Is arrogance and ungratefulness a European thing we all do or did germs just infect everybody else with their poisonous character.

You did nothing for us. You stole German science, technology and patents.

I wish we had been liberated by the US

Your senile old hag is staring at our senile old hag, what of it?

>Sheeeeetttt we wuz n Sheeeetttt
Yikes, sure we did.

>Britain rebuilt Volkswagen
>The company owes its post-war existence largely to one man, wartime British Army officer Major Ivan Hirst
which one is it?

Honestly, it's best we didn't. Our admin during and after WWII were literal "WE WuZ Germans n Sheeeeeet," they would have tried to give Poland less territory than you guys got.
It's a mark of shame on our history, atleast all the people who such Kraut dick is regulated to Jow Forums

>senile old hag
Rude

America liberated no one. All they do is bring degeneracy and Aids to other countries. If they had "liberated" you, you'd be a 40% mutt nation now.

Either this is the Volga nig, or it's a Turk. Either way, fuck Krauts and Nu-Germans

>they would have tried to give Poland less territory than you guys got.

Well, I'd rather we'd got less territory, but had a capitalist system after 1945 and no Russian soldiers destroying our cities and raping our women.

>Lots of interesting stories like that
curious, any more interesting stores?

i still like german humor. Oh.

Bavaryans are the funniest people in the world.

Friendly reminder that German car manufacturers are moving their factories to the United States since American workers have far fewer labor protections, receive far less pay, and have a much lower quality of living.

So yes, Trump is bringing back manufacturing.

are you an east or west German? Easy for you to say if you weren't stuck behind the iron curtain
t. 39 year old Pole

Thank you, Trump, for allowing German companies to brutally exploit and rape American wagecucks.

I'm Bavaryan.

Is this the power of western European empathy?

Then you're a spoiled little shit, you never had to struggle under communism. You should be thankful

>and have a much lower quality of living.

lmao

I'm not saying it was easy for Poland, I'm saying that not being touched by America has its blessings. Look at Poland now:
>strong social cohesion
>national pride
>economy developing nicely
>no african/middle eastern migration
>strong military

You have been blessed.

this is the most depressing post I've ever read, didn't realize it was that bad

You didn't struggle under communism. Yugoslavia and East Germany were communist too, and they had a somewhat decent life.

You struggled under overwhelming Russian influence, Russians were (and still are) incredibly authoritarian, totalitarian and sadistic psychopaths.

Poland is only strong because it receives tons of investments from Germany and elsewhere in western europe but you can't blame America for your problems today. Ultimately it was your politicians that decided it was okay to let immigrants in not their's.
That was part of it but life everywhere under communism was worse than capitalism

Poland is better than Germany.
>you can't blame America for your problems today
This is a lie.

>Poland is better than Germany.
Fuck off then

I wouldn't mind having these borders + no war destruction and American liberation in 1945.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You probably a achieve a mansion and a BMW more easily in Poland than here.

Not even most richfags can buy themselves seomthing that can be called a Mansion here.

>What the hell Germany
More like what the hell Nazi Germany

One British man acting on behalf of Britain

Better not be a good goy.

>You probably a achieve a mansion and a BMW more easily in Poland than here.

if you make a German salary in Poland

Nah. It's rather the British custom to claim everything on this planet as made by them to cope with their weak stature and deformed faces.

Well to get the BMW is easy but to buy yourself any real estate is near to impossible if it is not somehwere in the empty nothing.

Sorry my reading comprehension is a bit bad i guess.
I thought he was punished for talking shit about jews

Ungrateful swine

Any spooky ones like Saint Säens?

I used to think that Germany was perfect etc but after watching several videos from German cities (unfortunately google street view is not available there) I'm not so sure

We are a federation. Most tax money stayes in the federal countries here.
Besides Saxonia the eastern German countries don't have that much tax money.

Ultimately it was your politicians that decided it was okay to let immigrants in not their's.
It's because of American ideological influence they do that dumbass

yes the marshall plan helped, but it wasnt a all deciding factor. other countries got much more help from the marshall plan.
