EU Germany: A "Latent Sense Of Insecurity"

Germany: A "Latent Sense Of Insecurity"

Fifty-seven percent of Germans say that "increasingly being told what to say and how to behave" is getting on their nerves...

A recent annual poll, conducted in September, confirms Malchow's estimate: Every year since 1992, R+V, Germany's largest insurance firm, has been asking Germans what they fear most. "This year, for the first time," according to a report in Deutsche Welle, "a majority said they were most afraid that the country would be unable to deal with the aftermath of the migrant influx of 2015". Fifty-six percent of those polled said they were scared that the country would not be able to deal with the number of migrants. This September marked exactly four years since Chancellor Angela Merkel opened Germany's borders and allowed in almost a million migrants. However, Ulrich Wagner, professor of social psychology at the University of Marburg told Deutsche Welle:

"It's really got more to do with the fact that politicians and media discuss this issue a great deal — which triggers fear... For example, in the latest study, fear of terrorism has clearly gone down. We simply don't discuss this issue as much as we used to, and that means that people feel safer."

What the professor appears to imply is that you can solve a crucial societal issue, not by debating its ramifications and publicly seeking to find solutions to it, but by not talking about it, thereby lulling the public into a false sense of security by pretending that the problem does not exist.

What I don't understand about countries in the EU is why they even bother to remain unified anymore. What different would it make, practically, if Germany as a whole were divided into 6 parts along the lines of how it was divided after the war? It just doesn't seem like any German wants to stay German so why not just allow it to be a bunch of smaller countries.

The nature of the modern world makes regionalism really hard unless there's some strong binding agents. Seperation might work for a region like Bavaria, in terms of social cohesion and feasability as an independent nation, but what about places like Berlin? Even if you add its historical 'hinterland' of Brandenburg, the people and economy there is utterly disconnected from the city and have been for decades. It'd be like plonking LA down in Michigan and expecting it to work as a sovereign nation and capital.

Another factor is that, even if these faggots don't admit to being proud of their country in some poll for dumbass reasons, no one in their right mind thinks reducing its size by 9/10ths is going to be a net positive. Which is why only the most delusional of progressives entertain the notion of turning their urban enclaves into city states. Hell, it's something that enjoys far more support outside of town than in, because everyone else knows what a hilarious trainwreck it would turn into.

Null confirmed to be the Jew Morgenthau

Jokes about our dear leader's dirty jew blood aside, the whole migrant debacle demonstrates that the "establishment assumes it can get away with foisting shady and unpopular shit on populations by spiking the political and media narrative with accusations of bigotry and hatred against any who dissent or complain, and then refusing to change course even when this results in populist and anti establishment parties gaining in strength because they assume that the people will inevitably just quiet down and fall in line sooner or later" schtick is even more prevalent in euroreich than it is in borgarland.

Problem is, any attempt at moderation or subtlety from the government side is effectively political suicide given how any rival politician or autistic activist screeching "U AM A RACIST NAZI!" loudly enough is effectively a death sentence to your political future, especially in germany, and so people who could and did see how bad shit was getting and how much of a backlash they were brewing stayed quiet for fear of their careers and reputations, allowing shit to keep boiling up and for the dogmatic fucktards to continue feeding the fires and assuming the proles would *never* turn against them for fear of the dreaded N word being thrown at them.

Its kinda ironic this would happen again in germany, given how the whole "make the population fucking despise you, stamp down on dissent, then be absolutely blindsided when ignoring this for decades winds up ripping your regime apart overnight" thing that went down in east germany thirty years ago.

Germany and certain other Northern European countries made a lot of money from the Single Market and Single currency.

Once countries like Greece, Spain, Italy and Greece got locked into the Euro, they lost the ability to devalue their currencies, their industry became hopelessly uncompetitive, so essentially they became German captive markets. With the EU external tariffs locking out a lot of foreign competitors.

Back in the 60's and 70's Italy was a hive of industry, Automotive, Textiles, Food, Movies (spaghetti western!) all because the Italian bureaucracy were able to play with the value of the Lira when they needed to. They're completely fucked now, reliant on EU financial support, which only comes after they pick a Government the EU approves of.

The year the EU took over Italy

The economy, immigration and the make-up of the cabinet are all conditional on Brussels’ approval.

Absolutely based. Truly our Greatest Ally.

Absolutely, and this can only bite them harder in the ass than it ever could in America. The burgers can just elect a madman like Trump, and still have safeguards like the Supreme Court and Senate in place to protect against the worst excesses. Meanwhile in the Land of Stars And No Stripes, the nature of EU has put another level of distance in accountability between the politician and the voter, because they always have that cushy job in Brussels to motivate them fucking over their constituents in the short run. And the EU itself is a purpose-built giant with clay feet, it's shocking how badly they fucked everything up within a decade of trying to turn it into a political union. Even in Eurozone countries that are highly-dependent on the EU's agreements and have a lot to lose, a large minority seriously want a referendum on continued membership, with something between 30-50% of the population seriously considering to vote 'leave'. It's something that would've been unthinkable 15 years ago, so anything can happen depending on how Brexit proceeds and how incompetent the EU leadership continues to be.

It's far slower boil than anything happening in the US, but unlike in America it has a larger potential to lead to a series of trashfires rather than quietly fizzle out. It's ironic that for all the Eurocrats' cries of 'The EU has and will prevent a major European war (what is yugoslavia and ukraine lol)', it's quite likely that a collapse and squabbling of this union will be the single most destabilizing thing since WWII. And they have no one to blame for it but themselves.

 

[FEED ME JOSH]

First of all I don't really see a direct connection between your conclusion of "lol let's just split up Germany" and the article you've quoted about some asshole saying that the media shouldn't report on migrant crime so the dumb germans don't have to think about it (Which is a fucking joke. From what I have seen, the media and politicians have tried for a long time now to play down the migrant crisis as an 'old hat', 'not really that important an issue' and to accuse the AfD of just spreading hatred by talking about it, newspapers barely make any statements about the ethnicity of perpetrators etc.)
Maybe I just had a super unique experience in school but back then almost all of our history classes and huge parts of our german classes were about the two world wars, the nazis and the holocaust. We read three (fantasy) books about it, had to write essays about these books, went to a concentration camp and when we went on a trip to Berlin, we of course had to visit the holocaust museum. When there is such a large effort by the education system, politicians and the media to keep germans from becoming nationalistic and to keep them as atomized as possible, then maybe it doesn't just happen by accident. I know you are probably taking the piss a bit, Josh, but maybe the 'Let's just destroy Germany lmao' solution isn't really a solution to the problem but rather the cause of germans becoming a bunch of bugpeople with declining birth rates.

I don't know about being a master race, but German people seem to be racially predisposed to unquestionably follow retarded decisions made by their leaders until it's too late.

not to mention most of Brandenburg is currently owned by Poland.

Germans are the only people I know of where the stereotypes are completely true. They are slavish followers of authority, are ruthlessly efficient in labouring, and they don't have the vaguest understanding of what 'humor' means. I once saw a German 'comedian' whose whole act was playing lounge music on a piano in a bar, occasionally pausing to read excerpts from newspapers in a deadly serious and moralising way, to a completely silent audience. It's the most surreal thing I've ever seen on TV.

Here's the thing: Germany has something like 70k spots for long term prisoners. The prisons are all at capacity and the more shitholey states like Bremen and Berlin have stopped enforcing warrants for anything short of murder, even people involved in high profile armed robberies are allowed into early release programs.

This is also the reason perps of deadly beatings are being let off with probation: there simply is no place to lock them up. They'd have to crash build new prisons or build camps again to handle the shitshow they created in 2015.

Recently watched some news about retired old germans being homeless after working for 40 years for germany while having a 40% tax rate no less.
LOl pensions have been literally used to finance the refugees who never worked a day in their lives in germany.
Good luck old working germans, you choose this.

I had a German hag on a ski llift try to tell me a joke in broken English about what does diarrhea and parking in a city have in common (and failing to remember the punchline).
She also vaped like crazy inside the ski lift. Like, I know that Germans like to gas jews, but at least give me the quick death of Zyklon B.

 

[Sniggers]

People who think that the migrant wave from 2015 was too much to handle it are stupid.
Back in 1989 we germans took 11 million economy refugees ( the east germans) . It was no problem back then and its no problem today. And the majority of the german people are NOT afraid of the migrants. Statistics show that migrants are not more criminal than germans.

And i highly doubt that information and statistics from Null, as he is a big Hater of muslims and migrants in general. I think he got that information ,that the most germans fear migrants, from a right-wing newspaper.

And even if it would be true, it does not must mean that germans fear migrants, the article only says that germans fear that the government cant handle all the tasks that come with this amount of migrants

In Germany the pension age was raised to offset the welfare benefit payments to over one million phoney refugees allowed in by Angela Merkel.
ALL working germans have to work now longer for less... also i just now noticed "trolling wolf" ... guess you got me lol

 

[Webby's Boyfriend]

For me, in my personal headcanon of reality, Germany is still run by real WW2 Nazis in secret.

 

[Sniggers]

Hahaha , when migrant haters spread fake news @manuelberg

 

[Jewish Porn Hoe]

Germany is still run by real WW2 Nazis in secret.

Germany is still run by their descendants, elite continuity being a thing after all. But their descendants are all wannabee cosmopolitan citizens of the world and oikophobe eco nuts who want to run the place into the ground at high speed because having stupid luxury beliefs is a high status thing and possesing a entirely negative German identity.
