Just shows that there are lies, damn lies and statistics...
I've worked and lived in UK, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland and Denmark in the last few years (go where the work is, me!).
Of all those places I'd say, in terms of just how 'rich' people seem, Denmark was the most well-off, followed by Switzerland and Germany, UK then Ireland. Ireland is just about the most taxed place I've ever lived, the UK most debt-ridden, DE/CH more less work/life separate, but for me Denmark was the happiest/nicest/most worry free place. Boring though. Oddly enough here in Ireland despite tax/tax/tax and it being similar in feel to UK, it's not boring!
Fair to say also that in most European countries renting is normal, certainly in Germany, the UK and Ireland (still suffering with the fallout of the Celtic Tiger crash) has followed USA in creating a world of wealth and debt in owning a house. I was brought up in the 70's when a house was where you lived, not an asset who's value you gloat over and brag about.

Thanks Ste. Yesterday I was shopping in a Tbilisi mall. Lots of those micro shops there. I went to this shop to buy some clothes and they realized I only knew English went and got an interpreter. She was a 13 year old girl about to enter 8th grade. While everyone was out fetching clothes for me throughout the mall we sat out in the lobby and talked about the pluses and minuses of living in America. She told me her greatest dream was to live in America. I told her about the high prices and how people can be poor making $3000 a month in income. Super smart kid but I could tell she just didn't get it.
The goal of Globalists is to bring all wages down to the level of the BRICS, so if German wages have been falling and become more in line with other european nations it shouldn't be a big surprise.
The more obvious way that Germans have suffered is that they've had their national identity and cultural identity co-opted by others with an agenda to inflict guilt on Germans and to profit from it.

"Although the speech was well-received by young patriots, some remarks did not go over well with the ruling class. Höcke had been bold enough to suggest that
Instead of focusing primarily on those twelve dark years of the country’s history, German youth should be allowed to develop a positive identity by remembering and honoring the achievements of Germany’s numerous composers, poets and philosophers, of which the country had produced perhaps more than any other.
Germany was the only country in the world that had decided to plant a ‘monument of shame’ in the heart of its capital, and had made the most horrible event in its history the foundation of its national identity.
The Allied fire-bombing of Dresden was a war crime comparable to the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The guilt cult, however, allowed for a portrayal of Germans as perpetrators only, preventing them from mourning their own victims.
The press reacted “with disgust and horror” — as if Höcke had denied the Holocaust (which he didn’t). Although Höcke had remained rather factual in his description of the status quo without attacking anyone in particular, vocabulary from the familiar arsenal of curses was hurled at him: “Nazi”, “right-wing extremist”, “Goebbels”, “hard right”, “populist”, “nationalist”, “national Romantic”, and so on and so forth. In an article by Amanda Taub and Max Fischer in the New York Times, his brownish-grey hair suddenly turned blonde, more or less subtly conjuring up images of the blonde Germanic beast, familiar from countless anti-German Hollywood productions and books."

Unfortunately, due to Merkel's treason, you have to drop out the the ne'er-do-well Turks and the more recent Muslim and African arrivals.
How well are ethnic Germans doing? They are being tossed by the wayside due to the society-destroying behavior of the new arrivals.
My understanding is that if you are the equivalent of a "Boomer" in Germany and were born in West Germany, you are doing OK. East Germans, no matter the age, did not have the same abilities to create and store wealth. Younger Germans are also getting shafted.

For a number of decades products from Germany were superior to those from the United States, Japan or China. This disparity has largely eroded in the last ten or so years, the rest of the world has caught up. The economy of Germany which largely drives the Euro zone has and is suffering. But Germans are pragmatic and realistic and they are adjusting.
On the other side from my perspective I am very much opposed to any attempt to ignore German murder, mayhem or genocide for 12 years. And with the same breath I think the attempts to whitewash Stalin are repulsive. On the other side the march of Sherman left too much civilian devastation and death.

When you realize that:
1. exactly zero of the perpetrators of the Dresden bombing faced a Nuremberg war trial, despite building an exact replica of the houses in Dresden and figuring out how best to ignite a firestorm among the houses (not warehouses and factories)
and
2. Julius Streicher, who never served in the military, never engaged in anything other than newspaper and book publishing during the Nazi years, and was hanged (but we are constantly told of Nazi book burnings, hmmm?)
Then you realize that Nuremberg was not justice and law, but simply politics.
Perhaps I should mention the bombing of Rotterdam, by the Nazis.
You sure about that? I've read quite a few books on the Dresden bombings and WW2 bombing in general and bombing accuracy right to the end was woeful, can't remember the stats but it was something like 80% of bombs missed the city or town completely die to port sights, weather and 'creep'. Pathfinders helped though later in the war and you could well be correct in what you say. I've been to Dresden too, saw the Frauenkirche, Semper Opern and the Palace thing...
I think Hamburg was more comprehensively firebombed in 1943, in the books I read though the consensus is that it was more luck (for the RAF, back luck for the locals) that were the main factor here.
Going back to Dresden I think whilst the RAF send over more planes, it was the USAAF that did most of the damage in the daylight raid the morning after, most refresh my memory with a quick pre-bed time Google!
The atrocities from the Russian side were some of the worst. Forcing German troops to dance like Cossacks is beyond unforgivable.

This describes it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Village_(Dugway_proving_ground)
They hired emigre Germans, familiar with this kind of housing, to design and build the replicas. They even replicated the interiors, complete with typical furnishings, trying to ensure that a firestorm effect would be achieved. Note that this was specifically a plan to bomb residential buildings, not factories. Deliberate targeting of civilians even during wartime is what occurred in this instance.
You could make a case that FDR was a war criminal IMHO: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_bombardment_and_international_law#International_law_up_to_1945
Not a lot to be proud of in this.
Did the Treaty of Versailles cause the rise of Hitler?

Did the Treaty of Versailles cause the rise of Hitler?
https://www.thoughtco.com/treaty-of-versailles-hitlers-rise-power-1221351
I would argue that yes, it did cause the rise of Hitler. Germany was broke and the people were starving after World War 1. Plus the Germans were hoping that Woodrow Wilson was going to be fair with them. Instead they got the Treaty of Versailles, whiched forced Germany to pay huge amounts of reparations, which left them even more broke and humiliated. Then when Hitler rose to power, he promised to make Germany a prosperous and proud nation again. Then he delivered on his promise, with food and an improved economy. This allowed Hitler to cement his power in Germany.

Essentially, yes. The treaty was too harsh on Germans, caused widespread economic and social problems, which led to political changes.
Don't tell Av, he thinks the Germans are evil and should be punished. Never mind the elites who wanted to deliberately punish Germany and never mind the treachery of the British and others throughout WWI but especially at the end of it which gave rise to what some call "endless wars" around the World. :-X

You're off topic as usual and that's not a complete sentence either.
The point of the speech I linked to and why I linked to it is that Germany has done penance for long enough and it's time for Germans to reclaim their culture and move on. Soon enough if Germans are wise they will vote Merkel out of office and begin to reclaim their country from Muslims and others who only wish to destroy it from within.
This place looks very promising; don't be afraid. :)

Just so you know Germans do not do penance, they have not lost there culture.

Well bowled Sir, well bowled!
The batsman looks disconsolately at his stumps in disarray, notes the bails scattered a good six feet behind his wicket, turns, and with heavy steps, walks slowly back to the club house where a hot cup of tea and a cucumber sandwich awaits him - small consolation for having been bowled out for a duck - again.

Seems to describe some posters more than adequately.
"By all which, instead of being discouraged, they are fifty times more violently bent upon prosecuting their schemes, driven equally on by hope and despair; that as for himself, being not of an enterprising spirit, he was content to go on in the old forms, to live in the houses his ancestors had built, and act as they did in every part of life without innovation. That, some few other persons of quality and gentry had done the same, but were looked on with an eye of contempt and ill-will, as enemies to art, ignorant, and ill commonwealth's-men, preferring their own ease and sloth before the general improvement of their country."
Gulliver's Travels, by J. Swift. (Some consider him Irish others English) For myself his writings still are accurate.

Two quick points:
1. Oded Yinon's plan written in the early 1980s (called the Yinon Plan) is what is really going on here - with much much greater scope than kicking around a few million Palestinians.
2. Balfour did not write the Balfour Declaration: it was written by Viscount Alfred Milner. Milner made his reputation despite his incompetency at politics, being the reason the Second Boer War (which killed tens of thousands) was fought. Milner made his fortune as chairman of Rio Tinto Zinc. Rio Tinto was owned by ... the Rothschilds.
So the Balfour Declaration addressed to Rothschild was written, basically, by one of his former employees.
See this is the problem when only the victors get to write history and only they get to enforce punitive actions; now over 80 years from the end of WWII.
The reason history keeps repeating itself is easy to see if one isn't deliberately blind and uncaring. :coffeeread:

This is another effort on your trolling shift to derail this thread and avoid allowing or having to answer comments that rationally criticise the actions of the Zionists, Government and the state of Israel!

Let's see the concert takes place in Berlin, the last time I was there it was part of Germany. The concert goers (I assume mostly German) are enjoying themselves listening to a Dutchman conduct an ensemble that uses an musical instrument popular in Scotland. They play a song written by an Englishman that became popular in America.
Wiz, as you can see AvHdb has no argument, zero. So he resorts to making a personal attack. You are a "challenged hate filled sour puss or a grumpy old man".
And those of us who spoke truth to power are "simpleton's....posting a version of "stupidity and hate".
In other words he had no counter argument to the simple truths posted, so he waited, posted something insignificant and off topic, and rained down the insults.

When you see somebody attacking a poster personally then you know he cannot discuss any subject rationally and have nothing much to offer in a public discussion. One of their other cover is to criticise typing or grammatical mistakes then they expose themselves for their inability to add objective comments to the discussion.
The word Hate, is not part of my vocabulary because I don't hate anybody, including AV and only people with inferiority complexes hate other people. Of course I don't tolerate anybody who tries to impose rules in my views or my democratic right to express them freely.
That's for the record from a grumpy old man.
Let us try to read the title of the thread "Not so good to be a German" I did not bring Zionism, Israel or Jewish, into the thread
MaxxLet us try to read the title of the thread "Not so good to be a German" I did not bring Zionism, Israel or Jewish, into the threadThis thread has wandered all over the place and I don't mind. What was the back of my mind when I posted it was, "It is not so good to be American." People here in the Republic of Georgia think that because the average American family makes 50K plus dollars a year they are rich. When discussing this with them I have to remind them of the high cost of living and the huge credit card and mortgage debt most Americans and families carry. You can come from country that has a reputation of being rich, but doesn't mean you are, especially if you live there.
