Why are they so insecure?

Throughout history, through Philosophy, the arts, Science and Religion, the Germans have driven culture forward, despite this, they have a massive insecurity complex.

Schopenhauer didn't like German Culture and was heavily critical of its people as are many German intellectuals.

It's as if great German works come into existence in spite of being German, not because they are German.

Why is this? And why do they always autistically bring about destruction?

their women took part in what is probably the biggest mass rape in the history of europe after WW2. they're the most cucked country in the world.

>rape
Sure thing, Helmuth von Cuckenberg

stay mad hans

because we Germans never really had a great Empire
we watched full of jealousy how France and later Britain became the worlds most powerful Empire, while we were a loose confederation of petty states.
Then finally, in the 19th century, we thought it was our turn to shine, but no, we lost our chance, and America and Russia became the next superpowers instead
We can only hope that we can achieve as Europeans what we couldnt achieve as Germans

>t. role playing as German

Do you find it so hard to believe that there might be actual Germans on Veeky Forums?

>they have a massive insecurity complex

Any evidence for that? Schopenhauer's (who hated a lot of things) are not suficcent and don't display any insecurity from his side as he probably didn't base his self esteem on his nationality.

I guess you don't even know German and therefore haven't read anything what Germans wrote and write about themselves.

Germans were really butthurt that they had no colonies, so they decided that eastern europe is their colony

Problem is: the British had an empire and yet they are also insecure.

The self-disqualifying, overly humble and relativistic new European must have his roots somewhere else.

to me, it seems more like the Brits are in delusion that they are still relevant and still an Empire.
That's why they decided to leave the EU, because they assumed that they will be fine on their own and that their former colonies just waited for the opportunity to do more trade with Brits

So when Germans are imperialistic it's insecurity and when the others are it's not? Generally, the people who proposed this had no insecurities but a strong belief in German superiority over the East

So... What nation is secure one?
Russia? Turkey? France? Poland? Italy?

i dunno about other nations, but i read that it really botherd the Germans that they were too late to the colonisation game

Why would it bother them? Colonies cease to exist in 50 years, anyway and it isn't like ones that remains were truly valuable.

>Colonies cease to exist in 50 years
they couldn't look into future

Poland seems to have the most consistent national-völkisch solidarity.

Their nationalism is obvious and follows like a red line throughout history. Why can we not have a piece of it?

poland was always the slav emo kid
while other slavs tried to united all slavic people under one flag, poland was whining about its hard life, and how it is the christ of nations

>file name

Are you so insecure about downloading the image so you did it 6 times.. just in case, OP?

i assume he just downloaded a random pic from the internet

But they surely could understand that war against half of Europe would be not worth meme colonies, that will never give enough profit to top all damage.

they didn't think that a full out war would happen, at least not against the whole of europe

Nietzsche also called Germans a bunch of fucktards and roleplayed as having Polish ancestry.

This.

Germans are the only great nation (if we can agree what great really means) that never had the chance to dictate the world in a way the british, the french and the spanian fags did even through they were not less capable of doing it.

The whole rape thing is blown out of proportion by modern Neo-Nazis. As if German troops behaved any better, not to mention that it was limited to a fraction of the country.

When did France "dictate the world"? Napoleon was arguably as successful as Hitler. He conquered Europe but failed to keep it for a significant period of time. And Spain was relatively powerful in the 16th century but it didn't really "dictate the world", not to mention that the Emperor took orders from Jakob Fugger. Britain was arguably in a position where they could significantly influence European politics, but they lost that prominence after WW1 which completely ruined them. None of the European countries were in the position the US were after WW2 - that was some real global importance (which they're losing now though).
