Is there a historic reason for why Germanic's keep trying to crash Europe with no survivors?

Are they eternally butt hurt about something?

No, but it its Jews who are butthurt that they never had a nation with great culture and heritage other than what was recently created on Palestinian land.

While Germans have often done much harm to Europe, I think it is important to remember the role that the eternal Swede played in dividing Europe in religious wars and how it is unyielding in its support of Germany's modern attempt at destroying Europe.
>>
>>1272996
Also the Goths originated from southern Sweden.
>>
>>1272930
That's the result of their well concealed superiority complex,the same complex that constantly forces them to go even further beyond their natural capabilities of "intimidating" the same European countries that have once ruled over the majority of the known world.

Their history has shaped them to be a regional powerhouse with moderate foreign influence,but that wasn't enough to them and thus,they've decided to dabble in things that are ultimately greater than all of their previous purposes combined.

They've placed all of Europe on the path of no return and they'll gladly rule over her corpse as long as they can keep stamping their country's name over her desiccated forehead with relative impunity.

What they lack in finesse,cultural brilliance,military supremacy,they make up in severe underhandedness,primitive forms of pragmatism and in the ability to slog through thick layers of shit just to get what they want.
>>
>>1273795
there's no European culture, historically speaking, that holds a match to germanic in regards to consistent finesse, cultural brilliance, and military supremacy. Germanic culture has pumped out most influential religious figures, musicians, philosophers. inventors, military strategists, etc etc etc

>>1272930
so to answer the retarded question. German people have had to tolerate shit neighbor cultures for 2 millennia. The French, Brits, Spaniards, Portuguese, Danish, and Nords had their centuries here and there. None were anywhere near as consistent in being cultural centers than central germanic Europe. Get your ass outta you head.
>>
>>1273840
??

Are you saying that the barely existing, highly fragmented, Holy Roman Empire was the center of Europe?
Are you saying that while England, France, Spain and the Netherlands were warring all over the world's oceans the territory of what now is Germany was the center of Europe?

Germany as a nation state is younger the most Latin American third world countries, and they were quite irrelevant before the XVIII century.

France the demographic giant and cultural center of Europe, until they fucked themselves with Napoleon.

I've not once mentioned the state of Germany or the HRE. I'm talking about how the cultural powerhouse at any given time in the last 2k years was more often germanic than any other. As far as religion goes, they were the centers of Catholicism and Protestantism. As far as music goes, they had the Bach's, Mozart's, and Beethoven's. They had the architects, the painters, the philosophers, the scientists, etc etc etc.
Culture wise. the Brits held much of it after 1600. The French during the 1800s especially but here and there back in the day as well. Spaniards, Portuguese, and Danish had their 15min of fame empire wise, but never dominated culture.

So there are three really to pick from, british, french, and germanic. Culture wise starting at the fall of western rome, it's a no brainer. G>F>B.

My ethnic background is none of these, and has had significant quarrels with all of them. I am not partial to one or the other, I am just fascinated with history and culture. The French come close, but only in the last millennia. There are a handful of cultures that match the consistency and longevity of germanic.

Sorry for my english, not my first language.

I'm positive germans overestimate their influence. But this has probably led to non germans grossly underestimating it.

To be honest, the political culture of Prussia, and the last two Reichs could best be summed up by the Black Sabbath song War Pigs.

There is an expression in Naples that goes something like "they cry out to you while fucking you over".
It is the perfect description of a german.
They literally think they have nothing to do with the economical stagnation of Europe and with using the euro as a kike scam to fill their pockets, and go on about how they "dindu nuffing" and "everyone else is corrupted and greeks are lazy subhumans, we wuz good boys".
They lobbied for european regulations that would fuck over all countries that are the closest to migrant fluxes, because they forced the immigrant to stay in the country where they first arrived. So what did they do next? They literally said to the world "come migrants, there is place for everyone here". So hordes of migrants started pouring into Germany, and suddenly "oy vey these regulations don't work anymore, they must be changed, they actually took our invitation and are coming here!! Now it is not about where migrants are captured first, we split them evenly because we say so".
Then the worst comes. The german justifies this by saying "it is just our government, the people are against". And when you tell them that the Greek shouldn't pay debts because it wasn't the people who created it, they go "hurr durr you elect shit politicians you pay the price hurr durr".
At this point I think germans are pathetic, irredeemable people

You guys can dickwave each other as long as you want. But Germany isn't the problem of Europe right now.

25% of French are Muslims. Sweden, well....

And yet none of the above is a country that lost WW2 and has been militarily occupied since then. Whether you like it or not, for the last 60 years Germany has been ruled by politicians that please Washington. And that's the hint of where the real problem of Europe is...

After WW1 i wouldn't even disagree, the revanchism of the french played a vital role though.

Making that point in WW1 is simply unfair though. Not like the other countries of europe weren't war mongering imperialists hellbent on domination. ww1 was as much about german militarism as it was about france and GB trying to remain topdogs and denying germany a place at the colonialism table.

Indeed.

The fact is that American influence was beneficial or at worst the lesser evil after WW2. For the last 20 years however it has turned into a push for diversity as if it was the key of American prosperity (instead of a huge land of unused natural resources) and the way forward to emulate combined with a model that kills social mobility. In short, the US right now are as cancerous as the Soviet Union was.

No. Re-read my post. The European elite thinks that the US is prosperous because of diversity, when it's not.

When you play one of those nation building games, what's the easy mode? A huge land mass, full of natural resources to exploit and no enemies (or technologically so inferior that they pose no threat). That's the reason of American prosperity. Not ''diversity''. Rockfellers didn't make billions out of diversity, but out of commodities.

>>

it does not work like that. For one, America does try to influence Japan into letting in more migrants.
America's influence is based on culture and media. Asian people have a harder time absorbing it because of their relative cultural distance.

Southern europeans and Eastern europeans are less cucked because fewer of them grew-up watching Beverly Hills or listening to Madonna and Eminem

I would agree with you about some unexcusable mistakes. Namely attacking belgium and using nerve Gas as a weapon breaching the Haager Landkriegsordnung BUT i would argue that the Entente has to carry a good part of the blame.

German political establishment made several mistakes prior to WW1 but especially france was keen on war because of 1871.

If diversity meant "take in people who are a net positive to the economy" then it would absolutely be correct.

Honestly, I'd say that Germany was the more militaristic power even before WW1.

This is what happens to your institutional memory when your national founder is Bismarck and the direct ancestor of your current state is Prussia.

The simple fact that Germany had to force France into a war is a clear indication of that.

>>
>>1274286
See, I don't think that's US hegemony.

I think that's elites responding rationally to incentives.

Europe currently has very strong unions, and expensive labor.

In order for richfags to become richer, they'd like to break the power of the unions, and create dramatically lower labor prices. Immigrants are not tied into the current political structures that work to keep labor prices up. This would create a situation in which wages can go down and corporate profits can go up.

Socialists, on the other hand, want voters that can simply be bought with other people's money.

I have this suspicion that the most common failure mode for democracies is for corruption to turn them into oligarchies. Since very few people are truly loyal to an oligarchy, the state can then go in any direction.

You overlook the simple fact that french always had territorial ambitions in germany and did its best to meddle in the internal power structure of the german state.

This.

The pre-WW2 germans were a great bunch, but afterwards they became a base and ruthlessly profit mongerers with a massive inferiority complex, they will fuck up Europe three times over while still maintaining innocence.

>>
>>1274311
I think something like WW1 was inevitable if you have weak democratic institutions and hereditary rule.

Wilhelm was simply too weak to oppose the institutional forces headed towards war, and too stupid to notice the danger his country was in.

The democratic peace theory is not perfect, but parliamentary democracies very rarely enter into wars that have the potential to be dangerous to them.

Even the US tends to fight isolated pariah states rather than anyone with actual power.

>Europe currently has very strong unions, and expensive labor.

Labor is expensive because of human rights.
In China or Africa where they are ignored it's cheap. You can't have both.

Mass migration is also devastating social stability in Europe.
This is widely ignored in the economic argument because it's a lot harder to quantify.
But if you want to bring it to a rational perspective, cheaper labor for profits isn't worthy the destabilization of society, because the latter is going to shrink profits regardless.
Which is exactly why Europe right now struggles to achieve growth despite the mass migration to increase it. We have increasing depression, suicide rates, crime rates, fear for the future. All of that impacts economic growth but it's hard to measure.

Well not like the other countries weren't bound by the same mechanisms and Institutional forces. Russia had to do its weird Pan slavistic imperialism thing. France was bent on getting a revanche for 1871 and did the best it could to gain allies against germany. GB did its continental meddling for the sake of "power balance" that benefitted them. Sure the second reich was far from perfect but the other europeans weren't much wiser.

Having a parliamentary democracy is still a very important mechanism for military stability.

Parliamentary democracies almost never start wars against evenly matched opponents.

The only example I can think of is Israel during the 6 Day War, and that was because war was obviously coming.

I think it's dumb to blame "Germans" or "Russians" or "French" for a conflict when about a dozen people in each country made the choice between war and peace, and everyone else followed them. I mean, I still do it, but that's because I'm bored and looking to stir up shit.

The lessons here being never to be the first one to declare war, parliamentary democracy is not an optional feature for an industrialized country, and that nationalism can lead to irrational foreign policy decisions.

>The vast majority of them are of Jewish descent.

>Germany actually processed and knowledge its historical mistakes

It's a matter of perspective,it's better to accept the responsibility for the the alleged deaths of almost 5.8 million Jews than to juridically answer for the deaths of 43 million Slavs and the complete destruction of their material property in Eastern,Central and Southeastern Europe.

Also,I've never heard them "acknowledging" the fact that they're almost directly responsible for the rise of Bolshevism in the Former Russian Empire,even though their involvement has been proven with the Sisson Documents.

-single handedly destabilized Iran because of oil, to the point they got pissed off and installed the Ayatollah.
-Neocon interventionism from the 90s all over the ME to favour Israeli expansionism, ranging from coups to assassinations
-dissolution of Yugoslavia and shrinkage of the power of the ethernal Russian ally Serbia

''Isolationist''
The fact that the US didn't start war doesn't equate to lack of intervention in foreign countries.

True. In my opinions though WW1 must be attributed to the diplomatic/political/military mechanisms of all countries who were archaic and lead all the involved countries quickly to the point of no return.

So what. First of all the majority wasn't and second of all: What does it matter? They were german citizens and Antisemitism at the time was everywhere, just look at the Dreyfuß affair.

Second: What are you talking about ? Germany acknowledged starting the war against the UDSSR and the DDR even had to make huge reparations. That there was no harder punishment for the germans has more to do with the cold war than using the Holocaust to deflect other guilt.

They were,and you would've known that if you've actually read their personal information and it certainly does matter,because you've stated that were Germanic,even though they weren't.

> Germany acknowledged starting the war against the UDSSR and the DDR even had to make huge reparations

They've never payed the full reparations and the Soviet Union wasn't the only country which they've torn asunder.There was also Yugoslavia,with it's completely destroyed infrastructure and housing fund and who can forget about Poland,a country that has lost almost 70% of all her material property in less than three years of time.

And who is going to pay for the tens of millions of lives which they've extinguished just because a failed painter ordered them to do so?Have they ever payed heed to what kind of a devastation have they left in their wake?Have they ever"acknowledged" that it'll take us several generations to repair most of the damage?

> Germans has more to do with the cold war than using the Holocaust to deflect other guilt
It has more to do with them using the Holocaust to deflect a significantly greater guilt and let's be honest,the Cold War has ended quite well in their favor.They weren't partitioned into several smaller states,the reparation of their country was financed by the entire Western civilization for almost half a century and now they've gotten the chance to economically humiliate most of the nations that have voluntarily fought against their everlasting madness.

Its not german fault what happened after WW2. They were in no position to decide what to do. Also you don't grasp how these things work? What has Japan payed China, what have the USA payed Vietnam? What have the russians payed for their puppet dictatorships and economic Ruin they brought? You can't pay that away,you can acknowledge other learn from it and take steps to preventing it ever happen again.

Also what are you talking about? The germans in the west recieved marshall aid. Pretty rich to blame the country that literally was a pawn during the cold war. Who would have been annihilated the first and was partitioned 40 years with effects that last toll today? Also: What SJW sense of justice you have : They germans shouldn't be so economically successfull because of WW2. Not how capitalism works...

What thinking? I'm stating facts, please stop being so desperate in your search to feel smug when you just make a fool out of yourself.

I'm not saying that it is right or wrong because it's unconstitutional. Changing the constitution is nigh-impossible in most European countries, which represents a problem.

In fact, passing those laws would require us abandoning the U.N declaration of human rights.

Singapore adheres to it and has no problem passing those laws.
European countries and by this I mean the European elites simply lack the political will to do it because they love Gulf money, even if that means filling the country with terrorists. Which is why Europe is in the state that it is and will only get worse.

That's the fucking thing that bothers me with pro immigration people. Because otherwise I'm for the free movement of people, it's just stupid to hold yourself ideologically accountable if it means you're just going to hurt yourself.

Identity politics mean that the implications of immigration can't be neutral, objective, or utilitarian in any way. They must be described as either arbitrarily good or bad. And the argument has become so fucking polarized that immigration as a whole concept must either be good or bad based on ideology, if you'd like to participate in any meaningful, public political debate.

To pitch a strawman that most of us ought to be familiar is, diversity is a quality that a nation can strive for. But to achieve quality, you must use qualify for a certain standard. And the standard of quality that nations are judged on here is how diverse they are. So in other words, to qualify for quality, you must be qualified. It's circular logic that relies on a premise that's already been decided for you. And as a pole of the argument, it leaves no room for any nuance of immigration. So fuck political rhetoric. Keep demagogues out of my government. I'd rather they be a bunch of stuffy, insufferable nerds who are at least willing to engage in details.

> It's all about family structure.
Liberal-inegalitarian weak "nuclear families" produces "liberalism" (essentially Northwest Europe), authoritarian-egalitarian (brothers are equal, father supreme) produces communism (Russia, Yugoslavia, Central Italy), authoritarian-inegalitarian (one son receives entire inheritance) produces fascism (Germany, Japan). Family structures determine the character of nations and have very lasting effects, including the discipline and export prowess of Germany.
