Aren't you just proving my point, though? Your post is objectively xenophobic.

> Continental Europeans have very bad experiences with British tourists

Funnily enough I've never been anywhere where our trashy British tourists go (why would I?). So actually I don't know what they're like, but I've heard very bad things. I've also heard even worse things about the Dutch, though.

> And I am quite sure I get support from around a 100 Million dead guys

Well whoever they are that you're talking about, they are dead, so I am not sure they're in a position to support you at all. Having said that, I wonder what the all the dead Europeans and Jews murdered by Germans would think of Germany.

> But the shithole you live in of course may vary

I live and work in Hamburg.

>Turks are a very big community (I guess more than 20 Million counting all generations) in Germany with a lot of not well adapted folk.

Yes, because of how the majority ethnic German population treated them and continues to treat them. It's a very racist country. That's what living and working in Germany and falling in love with a Turkish German taught me. Thank you for the cultural exchange.

People will always find reasons to complain:

(Not trying to make a point, I just found the controversy kind of funny.)

You are calling me xenophobic and second the point I made? Are you mentally ill?

And btw, never heard anything worse or even comparable about the Dutch.

And btw 2, never about Scots, either.

> Well whoever they are that you're talking about, they are dead,

I guess you know very well who they are. The people killed in India by the British colonialism, according to the study of an US american institute. And yes, other monkeys are murderish assholes, too. Especially when the uniformism of the nation state mindset kicks in.

And you should discuss your argument that the dead cannot give support with the Jews.

> That's what living and working in Germany and falling in love with a Turkish German taught me.

I doubt your objectivism.

Actually your post is really useful, thanks. It's a perfect display of how so many Germans respond to criticism of their country by immigrants who live there.

Reader: never let anyone tell you Germans aren't nationalistic. They are as nationalistic as anyone, they are simply more subtle about it and eschew overt symbolism.

>I doubt your objectivism.

Yes, to truly understand the racism of Germany, I have to witness someone who I do not give a shit about being victimised. If I care about that person, then it doesn't count and I am not allowed to form an opinion. Lol.

Why do you live in Germany?

Please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse.

Is that really necessary? Also I'll second it, your comments are objectively xenophobic.

> never about Scots, either

Considering there are 10x less of them not particularly suprising...

> And yes, other monkeys are murderish assholes, too

Germans specifically (the British never even came close historically...). Or you won't say it?

No. Different from most apes, I have a clear picture of the positive and negative (and neutral) sides of the ethnics I know. Undisturbed by mental illnesses like racism and especially political correctness. Facts cannot be xenophobic.

> Germans specifically

IIRC, in WW2 around 60 Million died. That is less than the around 100 Million "murdered" Indians. But in less time, so the death rate is higher. Choose your metrics.

I think it's great you're engaging in casual anglophobia and xenophobia, it just perfectly demonstrates how xenophobic Germany is, it's such a nice example.

I have a funny story, my grandfather actually was German and fought for the Nazi German Empire in WW2 and moved to the UK afterwards. He used to cry about how much worse the English were and how unfair it all is that the Nazi German Empire (your Nazi ancestors) is vilified compared to the English. Will you bring up the Boer War now? He used to do that too. Anyway it's all very on brand for a German to give off pretty familiar national socialist vibes. Takes me right back to my childhood trying to navigate interactions with that autistic old man :')

Funnily enough, they do say that German society is like one where everyone is autistic. It all adds up!

Since you've continued to break the site guidelines egregiously (e.g. "Are you mentally ill?") after we asked you to stop, I've banned this account.
