I have an online friend who wastes his time dunking on boomers and "left wing germans" (aka mainstream germans) on twitter. It's really depressing to scroll through his posts. Especially because he even uses the polite for of "you" like an old person would. Fucking weird

@igeljaeger The United States is ridiculously ideologically narrow. What's called conservatism in the US is technically still liberalism. @a7

@terryenglish @igeljaeger @a7 Well I mean, our very constitution was built around being liberal. Our favorite word is liberty.
@igeljaeger @a7 @terryenglish Does it mean drinking only a little EU jizz a day instead of the whole bucket?
@kro @a7 @terryenglish are conservatives conservative about values that are 3, 30, 50, 100 years old, or older? Depens on your answer to that
@igeljaeger @a7 @terryenglish Yes for America because our values from the start have been around personal liberty. Ironically the left which claims to be liberal really hates personal liberty.

@kro Yup because right wingers never want to violate something as sacrosanct as personal liberty. Just ask Hitler. @a7 @igeljaeger

@igeljaeger @leyonhjelm @a7 @kro @terryenglish
Isn't there an internet rule that every discussion eventually devolves into talking about Hitler in some way?
@leyonhjelm @a7 @igeljaeger @kro @terryenglish
I honestly kinda hate all of Hitler's nephews/nieces. Their self imposed "we're not gonna have children because what if muh genocidal gene" is THE MOST retarded thing imaginable.
@alyx @leyonhjelm @a7 @kro @terryenglish imagine feeling German guilt. But people actually point their fingers at you and make you feel it. That's prob the reason
@igeljaeger @alyx @a7 @kro @terryenglish Germany isn't guilty of the Reich's crimes, no matter how much gaslighting goes on.
@leyonhjelm @igeljaeger @a7 @kro @terryenglish
German guilt is basically why weird stuff like "let all the immigrants come in Germany to replace us" happens.
@alyx @leyonhjelm @a7 @kro @terryenglish and who caused the migrant waves? American and Russian interventions in the Arab world
@alyx @leyonhjelm @a7 @kro @terryenglish economic growth has been stagnating lately because of low birth rates in my generation. The politicians do it because of money and power.
@igeljaeger @a7 @kro @leyonhjelm @terryenglish
Yeah, I know. And we're gonna have the same problems very soon. Our birth rates are shitty too, and on top of that, there are millions of Romanians that already left the country. And we're already starting to see companies take in workers from even shittier countries.
@igeljaeger @a7 @kro @leyonhjelm @terryenglish
I think we might end up with a lot of Chinese. They've been slowly coming in for over 20 years.

Just yesterday I saw news that some Chinese workers came into the country, and were put into quarantine for observation.
@alyx @igeljaeger @a7 @kro @terryenglish the common thread in this conversation is these are all things that continue because the country lets it. Eventually people won't take it anymore and get destroyed, they revolt, you get war, or you get brexit

There's never gonna be a ROexit, because our politicians kiss EU ass more than any. They might revolt at some point, but even that isn't guaranteed anymore. The truth is, the old generation is too used to accepting the bad things for way too long.

Wait... didn't they do the whole Marshall Plan thing to help rebuild stuff? Am I missing something?
@alyx @a7 @kro @leyonhjelm @terryenglish economics don't equal social. And the Americans benefit from world economy like nobody else does
@igeljaeger @a7 @kro @leyonhjelm @terryenglish
I'm still a bit confused by what you meant with "Americans kept taking our money". You mean that USA profited from trade with Germany?
@igeljaeger @a7 @kro @leyonhjelm @terryenglish
Yeah, I think the world was a bit of a asshole towards Germany for way too long than it was called for. And it clearly affected people that I don't think were at fault.
