Oh wow, I would have loved to see that! Plus the Karneval music scene could use some tuning away from the usual schlager stuff, foreign influence would be very welcome there

I guess it’s the same in England with the benefit that if you’re born here, you get a UK passport and all the rights that come with it. I’d argue that Germany played both sides of the “Europe means Europe” passport game to both include and exclude people from being naturalized citizens (i.e. yes you can live here, yes you can kinda vote here, no you’re not german)
Plus the racism obviously, but every country has a large racist overbelly. England is easier in the sense that english media is everywhere, already diverse, and you can communicate in whatever pidgin english you know. German is much much harder, and I do blame the language being the main barrier to easier integration.
My ex was like that; 3rd generation, no German pass.
Her grandad worked the factories, her mum was born and grew up in the workhouses next to the factories (apparently they’d hand him lunch through the wall), and her mum had no formal education other than sunday school.
Fiercely proud of their heritage and shunned/mocked by previous generations of Germans, they didn’t see the need to get German citizenship. Even my Ex.
When I saw the way things were going in Germany, I begged her to get her German passport before it was too late. I hope she did.
nur “gäste”, lmao
or Yufkas
I have to admit it surprises me too, but somehow I find myself still queuing up alongside the bar.
It’s nuts and yet makes perfect sense, but I can vouch that no one -no one- was doing it ten years ago.
With blame but my Germans is shelled. Lemmy in the inglish please?
“Jesus… when you say ‘get me off this fucking cross, so help me God’… is that a test? Or should we actually get you off the cross?”
( More ranting and screaming and moaning )
The disciples nod wisely at their leader’s self-sacrifice for… their sins maybe? And he will always be immortal in their hearts, because they’ve already eaten him or something.
The disciples go home, wiser and holier and warily eyeing each other in confirmation of the deeper meaning behind their saviour’s last words: “Guys, please, I’m not fucking around, get me down, please, I’m so fucking thirsty… Jesus fucking christ”
Embrace nihilism and become the real change in the world? Inspiring!
I’m a hwat?
