But in a way he's right - the "German" identity is more abstract and seems weaker than more local (e.g. Bundesland level) identities
as in my anectode with "can an Afghan be an X?"
true. i think we will have some great discussion on this book! so excited to see it happening
I hope we get about 10 people for the first discussion on PP. I also posted an event on GoodReads so people will know where we will be. but i didn't pos the discord link.
maybe add it to the event description?
yea, go for it. I'm getting a little tired from today's food. i overate turkey and biscuits. but it was sooo good with the gravey o it
haha, ok
what do they eat in Germany for Christmas dinner? We eat turkey and ham
pumpkin pie, sweet tea, stuffing (bread and vegetables baked for like 2 hours)
not sure about other families, but we always had something different each time
this time sausages, sometimes goose, sometimes raclette 😄
but sausages are popular imo
For us, it's usually Turkey and Ham. Saussages and Schnitzel and Brautwurst are every day foods
and sauerkraut 😃
ahh yes saurekraut with mustard and peppers
have you ever had i think it is spelled "nachtwurst"? we had that at a gathering at my cousin's house this afternoon. and it was pretty good
haha, nope
"night sausage"?
yea it's' really black, and has blood in it
served cold too
i know Blutwurst, "blood sausage" - but I'm not a fan tbh
lately I prefer good old Weißwürstl', Bavarian style
with Sauerkraut, Bread and Weißbier ideally
*bread
German capitalization...
That's one thing to love about Germany btw - delicious bread, everywhere
No other place I've been to compares in terms of bread choice and quality
yea, we have a shop around here that makes fresh breads European style and my favorite are the German/Polish/Czech breads. they are perfect, much better than say italian or french bread
Belated my time but happy Christmas Gab
"I always saw nationalism as a more politically formalized extension of basic tribalism. For Anderson it appears to be only a recent "invention"."
YES THIS IS LIBERAL TROPE
"NATION-STATES WERE FIRST TIME NATIONALISM WAS TRIED!!1!"
OBVIOUSLY A LIE
BY THOSE WHO NEVER READ PHILOSOPHY
NATIONALISM AS CONCEPT WAS ALWAYS PRESENT
IT WAS RE-FORMALIZED WITH RISE OF MODERN STATE, VERSUS MONARCHIC/FEUDAL NATIONS
THEY LOOK AT THAT AND SAY "THIS IS WHEN IT WAS INVENTED"
LIBERALS ARE MORONS AND ALWAYS LIE
GOOD MORNING
