Hitler ruined German history and culture

every german is a nazi

The Dresden bombings were not enough

...

> Rich 2000 year history
> Composed entirely of ruining Europe again and again

G*rmans need to be exterminated

>falling for post-WW2 albion/yankee/(((hollywood))) mass indoctrination trough the education system and mass media
VERY good goy.

Germany is Europe, Europe is nothing without it

Try again

>Germany exists only since 1871
>but Germans existed before that, therefore GERMANY has a rich history

>Macedonia, Ukraine and other non-countries didn't exist until recently
>therefore the people living there have no history even though they existed before they had a country

Can someone explain this meme to me? I know OP didn't say the latter but this seems to be a prevalent thinking among people I talk to.

Germcucks have ruined European civilization repeatedly

> Destroyed Roman Empire
> Luther being a blasphemous cunt
> Starting two world wars
> Genocide a race of people
> Trying to create a United States of Europe

Try again sweetie

>Europe is nothing without it
People on this site actually believe this

>>Germany exists only since 1871
Are you fucking kidding me?
None of the listed are the fault of Germany
Yes

well, if the country is strong in a political sense - then it's history is significant

if it's not - it's not


that goes the idea

>Are you fucking kidding me?
It's a fact. Not only is HRE not "Germany", it wasn't even a fucking country, just a loose union like the EU. They didn't even have a common currency for fuck's sake.

Germany existed independently of HRE, it's a fact

>Germany existed independently of HRE
I sure don't see any Germany on this map.

And yet you posted a thread about it instead of a then read about all this history.

Reddit spacing

Nobody is talking about significant vs insignificant you redditor, learn to read.

>nations are about drawn borders on a map
stopped reading right there

Countries are. There wasn't a country called Germany before 1871.

Are you unable to make the distinction between "Germans" and "Germany"? The former is a group of people, the latter is a state.

Kingdom of Germany did exist before the HRE, Charlemagne was Frankish (i.e German), what the fuck are you talking about
Germany does not exist without Germans, Germans do not exist without Germany

That's how nations work, illiterate piece of shit
(btw Germany is a nation, not a state, wtf, people really think this way? no wonder Europe and the West is falling apart)

>Germany does not exist without Germans
This is correct

>Germans do not exist without Germany
This is horseshit.

If tomorrow someone deported all the Germans to Madagascar and abolished Germany, would they magically stop being German? Try to think before you post, retard.

You cannot kill a nation without killing its people, Germany will live as long as Germans live

Shut the fuck up, and read about Bismarck.

I literally studied him in high school

>he uses the words nation and ethnicity interchangeably
Are you American or do you have some other brain malfunction? Even in German there's a distinction between Nation and Volk, they aren't synonyms.

>they aren't synonyms
BUT ONE CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT THE OTHER THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN EXPLAINING TO YOU

ARE YOU READING MY POSTS?

German Volk can exist even if there's no German Nation, dumbass.

Pre 20th century history is ancient history and might as well not exist
1 year last century=75 years of earlier history in relevance

WRONG, THE NATION OF GERMANY EXISTS AS LONG AS THE GERMAN VOLK EXISTS

Nation=Volk+Staat du Hurensohn.

>Nation=Volk+Staat
Wrong. Read a dictionary

nation:
>a large body of people, associated with a particular territory, that is sufficiently conscious of its unity to seek or to possess a government peculiarly its own

I'm not even the guy you're replying to, but no it doesn't:

Volk + Staat would be a nation-state:

A a french, I'm tired of german militarism, everyone know bismarck pr Hitler and their Autism's
>Muh prussian miltarism
Fuck you, nobody care about military power, if you define greatness by the number of corpse you stack you're not a man you're a fucking retarded manchildren, bet you fucker don't care about their scientific achievement or their philosophie, fuck prussian/wehrmachtboo you destroyed everything taht was good in germany, now you know germany for
>Muh suprem military
And not
>Muh industrial and scientific achievement, muh railroad
Fuck you civilization is build on science and culture, war is at best a setback for mankind

Tl;dr: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>war is a setback for mankind
This coming from a frog is hilarious.

The HRE was called the "German Empire" or "Germany" by contemporaries.

Alsacien here, fuck you, we're not part of you hereitcal "Volk" go back suck your kaiser and your satanist monk, Austrian and bavarian are christian so that fine, we aren't german.

Another example.

The area known as the Regnum Teutonicum or Kingdom of Germany

Bad is war m'kay, fucking prussians and their military culture!

*conquers europe*

It's was defense war and you know it, also the fact that france wage war doesn't make it right. (And we're not define by it)
