Why is German culture one revolving around guilt and shame?

[Jana]

Inclusive and accepting of what or whom then?

Of anything. German culture is built on being obidient and in service of community while repressing anyone who thinks differently.
Just like nazis were extremely intolerant towards anyone who disagreed with them, German green is fanatically devoted to prosecuate their political opponents.

Mentality is same, ideas different.

I always thought that was more Scandinavia than Germany.

Funny you mention that - Nazism itself incorporated a lot of green ideas.

[Your Old Comrade]

or maybe he knows Germans better than you. They are same perfectionist, intolerant, obsessive folks they have always been (and by that I don't mean negative, I appreciate German people typical traits), just now in service of opposite ideology, one that was pushed from outside.

Let's see how long will charade last.

I do. I used to live next to the border. Do I know the Germans ? Yes. Obviously. They just changed the ideology du jour. The rest is the same. They are, frankly, for a large part as fucking servile, blindly obedient and rigid as the Russians are. I love the Germans, but that's their major national character flaw.

It did but it's irrelevant. Point is that any program, either nazi, green or liberal will be carried out dilligently, with fanatism and those that disagree will be brutally repressed, in one way or another.
It's nature of ethnic German people and how they are and that can't change.

They thought they are Nordic Gods on Earth, allowed to kill Slavs in their own homeland.

27 million East Euro Slavs killed in WW2.

It should have been never allowed unification of Germany.

These days they are promoting mass immigration of non-Europeans into Europe.
From right extreme to left extreme.

They will ruin Europe again.

Scandinavia is very communitarian and anti-individualist, but not fanatic and violent towards those that don't agree like Germany.
Actual Scandinavians are also much more laid back than Germans are.

Feel free to disagree, but I've said before that, in many ways, Germany was actually a more 'natural' home for Communism than Russia, since it is a much more collectivist and law-abiding (or rather State-abiding) culture than Russia in reality is.

Lawspeaker IIRC you mentioned that you were from Noord-Brabant and more recently lived in Utrecht. Did you live in other provinces at some point?

I used to live in Limburg after leaving Brabant, as well before moving up during my very late teens, first Guelders (went to school in Nijmegen). Shopping was done either in Belgium or Germany (Heinsberg - and later Goch) when I was in Limburg and Guelders as it was cheaper. In my class alone were three Germans, I had Germans as neighbours (marriages were common as fuck there). Same with Belgians.
