ye

lmao

Was the same in East Germany; DDR (Deutsches Democratik Republik)

Dance Dance Revolution

Anyone here know, "The Ampleman"?

Pretty sure he drives a Traubi

If you don't mind subtitles, this is a good film to watch. I think it is rather relevant

It's about the fall of the Berlin Wall from the eyes of a guy who's mother was 'the Perfect Communist woman' who falls into a comma before the wall falls

That move is so outlandish to us ~~white niggers~~ Pollacks. No one thought like that over the eastern side of the Oder...

So her son does everything he can in a capitalist world to make her BELEIVE that her world hasn't collapsed for fear she won't be able to take the shock....

kinda funny

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0XCSghpcmI I know you're exited but can you not loudly heckle after every other sentence they say like a jackass

@Tonight at 11 - DOOM, of course the Pollacks didn't think like Ordnung obssessed Germans lol

maybe that's it

Poles are more .. purpose oriented.

like, the DDR had a particularly bad rep for being full of snitches in the Eastern bloc

Geramans are 'goal oriented' and march like drones sometimes

yeah, I know many that are quire fond of certain elements of the DDR

It was a violation what the government in Berlin allowed to happen in the former East with regards to the transition to capitalism

Rich assholes came in from the West, bought everything up and most of the girls/women from the East left for better lives in the West

German males with a traditional loyalty to family and tradition who stayed behind had little prospects

Our national mythology emphasizes freedom within the confines of everyone's private property. The public sphere has a (more or less) clear social order to it, but in private you do what you wanna do. Just as long as u conform in public. At least conform well nuff.

Led to alot of extremism

Makes sense

They feel cheated

Yeah, germans have a similar belief but they have trouble with the 'private' part in regards to not conforming to a norm

Like the dominating hierarchy does not allow them to realistically succeed so a nu one is a better thing to pursue then to try to integrate the old one...

It's that rather Prussian tendancy to think 'who am I to question the rules' that gets them in trouble

but also makes them quite competent

(I should start fewer of my sentences by "like"... I sound like a valley girl, lmao.)

lol

Not questioning the order is good for efficiency

makes sense

also leads you to be blind

to alternatives

you couldn't have an autobahn in america

and ur own faults

Germans strike me as a nation of zealots tbh.

probably not in poland either; following convention and strict rules make sit work

well, more like a nation lacking sound judgement
