Why is German culture so hopelessly Romantic?

Why is German culture so hopelessly Romantic?
And is their unbending commitment to the EU another example of their all consuming idealism?

High beer consumption, chemical substances in the used hops act a oestrogen like hormons, the whole society gets girlish.

Modern German culture or before Nazism German culture?

Because after Nazis came to power, romanticism and idealism of Germanic soul ceased to exist.

No.

>chemical substances in the used hops act a oestrogen like hormons, the whole society gets girlish
German society has been hopelessly romantic since time immemorial. Just go look at their art, most of the music and literature has strongly idealistic and sentimental. The love poetry in particular is really good.

Could you recommend me some poems please?

But didn't the philosophy of the Nazis (insofar as they had one) feed deeply from that idealism? Weren't they obsessed with a sort of hyper-mythologised, Wagnerian view of their past?

Indeed they have.

Nazis greatly twisted the essence of Germanic idealism, it became fundamentally a totalitarian cult void of freedom and self comprehension.

After WW2, we abandoned any attempt to return to such states of being, for various reasons.

I prefer pragmatic Germans than romantic/idealistic Germans. For some reason every time they want to do good they destroy Europe.

Pragmatic Germans are one who rule Germany and EU today, so you should be happy.

Migrant crisis shows that they stopped being pragmatic.

You German? I am.

Our elites are still pragmatic, they are getting exactly what they want with immigrants.

They're stupid, weak-minded, and effeminate.

Note how the Migrant Crisis became a crisis only after reaching Germany, when the ones being flooded were the Greeks nobody talked about migrants, we had to wait till the Renzi threatened to give papers to all the migrants who were reaching Italy to get some European messages about what should the Union do. But when they reached Germany? Oh! Then It became an European problem which needed an European solution!

I'm sure they don't want more terrorist attacks, a civil war or a future right-wing dictatorship.

Civil war? And who would be fighting, user?

My fellow German youth have zero cultural foundation to ever feel as part of wider German people. Take a look at various polls asking would you fight to defend your country? We Germans are always at the bottom, because nobody really gives a flying fuck about Germany, its culture and its people.

All of this can easily change.

The German civil war will be fought by soldiers of Allah against the homosexuals.

TAKBIR

Hardly, if there is no foundation to change. Older people tend to be right wing, far more invested in German culture. Young could not care less about culture, many people I know see Merkel as right wing fascist for refusing to accept even more immigrants.

That's what happens when Anglo and Jews rape you

This guy is said to be really pragmatic and conservative. What long-lasting legacy did he leave behind, in terms of statesmanship? I ask this, because some people think that, because he's too pragmatic, he lacked the big vision to influence the future. Kind of like saying that visionary statesmen might fail in their lifetime but their legacy can still be felt even today.

I actually see that he's not as pragmatic as people make him out to be. Unless I'm mistaken, he was really serious about making a stable central Europe and balance of power overall, and such vision might influence post-war Germany (rather than, say, the 1848 revolutionaries).

More terrorist attacks and the dissolution of EU can change everything.

You think? I doubt it.

Firstly, we Germans as people are dying, just look at our fertility rates. Secondly, we have created a culture of apathy like no other on planet. That is why nobody bothers to ask why we fund people who have 7-8 kids per family, while ethnic Germans have 1.

Exaggeration.

They don't have that many kids.

cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2127.html

We have 1.5 birth rate. That is below 2.1.

Here, here

Even many Arab countries have it below 2.1. Currently only some African countries have a much higher fertility rate.

Your point is that he's exaggerating, but take no issue with his main argument?

Have you ever heard of a term called hidden population growth? That is Middle East and South Asia for you.

They have far more youth percentage than we, that youth will create larger population. That is why, these countries even if they are reducing their fertility rates, they will according to UN continue to grow ever larger.

Young people in Germany will have even less kids, if you live here you know that.

I fail to see what I exaggerated. Our fertility rates are low, we are among top 3 in world in old population percentage. And yeah, immigrants from outside of Europe do tend do have far more kids.

And the fucking mess exacerbated because Merkel decided the crying Palestinian girl was bad for her poll ratings so she did an about face.

You made me even more mad realizing the self-serving arrogance and audacity of German and the other Nordics well beyond suddenly deciding Schengen is a bad idea when you have hordes of brown people running your way.

"Oh sorry we invited migrants here but now we need you to take your fair share for what Merkel did"

what film is this?

Fritz Lang's Siegfried

Why is this?
Are the cuck memes about Germany true

All memes have a hint of true user.

Is Merkel the new Bismarck?
Will a franco-german alliance form as the new political/economic/military face of the continent?

>Will a franco-german alliance form as the new political/economic/military face of the continent?
Are you implying that isn't what's taken place over the last fifty years?

why is your version so yellow? when I watched this it was just black and white

Anyone who says germans aren't romantic or don't care about their traditions anymore is retarded and probably never went to Germany.

It's true that young germans listen to hip hop only and disrespect their historical monuments but that is just a phase. They still wear Lederhosen, Dirndl and do their funny dances.

>but le EU is ruining Germany no more culture refugees are ruining everything :(

The EU funds lots of culture programmes. All germans say refugees and immigrants must integrate. Also, the birth rate in Germany has gone up, the memes aren't true.

>the birth rate in Germany has gone up
And that has nothing to do with the 1,000,000 + Africans/Arabs Germany imported?

Mate, watch it in its original colour - it's like seeing a vision through the Rhine at sunrise

Not that dude , but i am also German.
People here are getting sick of this SJW crap that we started importing from America. I think there will soon be a backlash in the German society, also regarding the refugees and i don't just mean that there will be more people voting for the AfD. I think mainstream will become more conservative here again.

I very much hope so, this reaction needs to start in Germany if it is to spread out through Europe.
Germany is the ground zero of this guilt complex and we will never revive without a resurgence of the German national spirit.

I dont give a shit. Europe is finished and should stay finished.

No, the birth rate went up since 2006 I think. It was before the refugees.
>People here are getting sick of this SJW crap that we started importing from America

Ayy lmao where you at mein negger

In Baden-Württemberg none of this happens. I'm not german btw, I came here to study. Nobody ever treat me as some "unique thirdworlder" as they did in the USA. You probably just went to a social studies class and thought ALL Germany is like that. Also, everyone talks about integration, they say all immigrants need to learn german culture and integrate. Pretty sure that isn't SJW.

>everyone talks about integration, they say all immigrants need to learn german culture and integrate. Pretty sure that isn't SJW.
Talk about it all you like, it isn't what's happening.

Then it's not germans' fault but their government, don't you think?

Same is happening in America and I'm sure all the western world.

The global elite has tasked the cultural Marxists with destroying western society and encouraging ISIS to follow suit - simply at a more rapid pace.

It's amazing how western society has been heavily brainwashed the world over. We Americans see it in the US but now with the help of YouTube - it is clear that they have brainwashed basically all of western world young people. They try to brainwash the older ones too it just doesn't work so well - though there were already some hippies who just leaned further left. Nearly all of the left that you see on TV today (anyone allowed any sort of media presence) is sympathetic to terrorism (foreign imports or domestic) and actively working against the people of the country.

They are sympathetic to all Marxists, and Socialists, and Communists to the point of lying to maintain that sort of vision as something good.

Zero of these people understand anything about socialism or communism or any of that in history or they would all recognize it as a bad thing.

In reality it is the radicalism of the left - who is NOT necessarily the minority of them - and the other radicals they sympathize with and hence bring on board - that we have to watch out for.

All the minority groups (gays, women, fat people, transgender, and eventually also Muslims) are pawns being used to further their global elitist agenda.

Useful idiots.

>we Germans as people are dying

most roman soldiers were german retard

Most regards were German Roman soldiers dingus

I assure you that the Nordics are just as angry at Germs as you Southerners are. Swedes might be an exception.
