I find in general this is the attitude in Germany - if you complain about some needlessly complex bureaucratic procedure here, or even just in general about something that is negative about Germany - people will usually say something along the lines of "But of course it is like this, because X, Y, Z".

I find the attitude in another countries tend to be a bit more reflective and open to criticism - here, everything is the way it is, because.. it is?

Is there a word for this argument? You see it a lot on stack overflow etc too, like "Why do I have to do X" "Because Y requires you to provide this information"

Living in germany for a year now, and holy cow how Germans backwards rationalise so many things this way.

Like wtf, how can the powerhouse of Europe be so thick?
