Wie siehst du das? Glaubst du ich habe Recht? Ich bewerte jetzt das Entschuldigen nicht, sondern mir fällt auf das meistens diejenigen die Hitler mögen gar nichtmal selber Deutsche sind (mit Ausnahmen, es gibt auch Deutsche) aber hauptsächlich sind es Moslems, wie der Iran, oder Palästinenser, oder Türken (in den 2.Weltkriegen waren die Deutschen verbündet mit dem Osmannischen Reich) oder auch Russen/Serben/Osteuropäer, die eine Allianz gegen den Westen schmieden wollen. Ich glaube die meisten Deutschen fühlen sich aber dem Westen zugehörig.

I'm not 100% sure what question you now exatly refer to. There is this popular and performed guilt religion in Germany and it does also seriously damage the soul of many Germans. But by far not all Germans are effected and many are also simply annoyed by that mainstream "culture" and make fun of it.
I've no idea whether a number of folks referring to Hitler as "cool" may be non-Germans as I don't maintain any contacts with non-Germans in Germany.

Regarding the majority questions whether Germans feel themselves belonging to "the West", I'm unsure myself. Many do and they have been exposed to that narratives continously since 75 years. On the other hand anti-Americanism is widespread in all political directions but maybe the CDU. Also, now the British are out of the EU and it's a bigger statemenmt that they left compared to if they would never having been a member. Alternative media and opinions opposing the mainstream have grown incredibly strong while the refugee crisis in 2015 and the Covid time. The political establishment and the mainstream have never (since 1945 and 1989 respectively) been as weak and disrespected as today.

how did you chose your career field and did you ever planned to do/study something else?

[Zanko]

Dutch that settled in Germany (mostly rural and in the East) and Wends (Sorbs).

Both perceive themselves essentially as Germans and so do I. As for the Dutch in total I feel a deep root affinity but also their rejection which in turn lowers much my affinity to them. Some things about them also alienates me as their borderless individualism and their essential lack of "tribal" consciousness. To the Flemish the affinity is actually higher. I think that the Flemish due to their contact / conflict with Walloons are more aware "tribally" and do also feel an elevated connection to Germans which mutually elevates the affinity.

Actually your question made me realise that I think I have some sort of affintity to Norwegians and Swedes. I can directly speak with them fluently and I know exactly how they think and how they are. And again, here is some form of mutuality of importance. They feel directly understood by me and I now don't mean in language. Especially if I meet a Swede outside of Sweden I can say two sentences and they know immediately that I'm completely into their (not opinion but) perspective. The same does not apply to Danes btw. Both the language and the mentality is not fully accessible to me, which may seem somewhat strange as they are in between Scandinavia and Germany.

Sorry for not just simply answer the question with one ethnicity, but maybe these elaborations are enlightening as well.

Thank you for your elaborate answer!!

how did you chose your career field and did you ever planned to do/study something else?

I wanted to have a profession that - on a certain level - offered variety, hence is somewhat "generalist". My tendencies are to deepen myself into something and become an "expert" but I very much dislike to become a "specialist idiot" and being dominated by others, that do have more might. By observations I noted such fates of some intelligent people and was worried about ending up the same way.

After having had thoughts there only came two main things in my mind, a generalist physician and judge / lawyer.

Best grades I had in natural sciences. My parents, both physicians, wanted me to study medicine. But I feel pretty uncomfortable in the context of injuries and blood and also I find the topic of illnesses somewhat repulsive. Conscious that non-natural sciences and social skills were not exactly my gift, I chosed law. I also thought it would be nice to improve aspects of mine that I'm not that good in. I ended up as a lawyer and I think that I do a good job. Also, things that had not exactly been my natural gifts became developed as intended. Particularly to be able to steer one's own life (essentially all people theoretically can) gives me satisfaction. Of course, I also have to take all failures in my life as a result of my acting.

How would you react if Mortimer would knock on your door?

How would you react if Mortimer would knock on your door?

I'd be astounded and would talk to him. I maybe even would spend some time with him but I would dirigate the things that way that there would not be some deeper socialising.

In person, Mortimer is someone that you well can have an exchange with. In contrast to a "Swedish way" where every conflict is avoided I in a "German way" told Mortimer my opinion and I'm convinced that he fully got it. I had to overcome myself to do that but I also felt it a duty towards myself to be able to articulate my opinion in any situation. Beyond this I've no interest in telling anyone hurting things and I have zero sadistic tendencies. My general attitude is benevolent, "but" I will unswervingly promote and try hard to get carried out what I consider is correct. No social circumstance can "bribe" me.

I guess, such "conflicts" are what you would like to have enlighted.

Stupid question, but answer it once and for all.
In Russia, part of the population thinks that in Germany it is not considered something indecent to fart loudly at the table after dinner. This kind of serves as an endorsement of the culinary skills of the hostess.
The Germans attribute this "tradition" to the Finns, and the Finns, in turn, to the Chinese.
Where is the truth?
