I just wanted to let you know that I'm still working on the
#Germanic
tribes map.
After 5 hours of landscape modeling (i.e. the addition of rivers and mountains) I start to hear voices in my head ... Jokes aside, about half of the content is done. ^^

(1/25) For centuries, Germany was shaped by various small states and elites. However, I would argue that these still live on today in the political mentality of the regions of the FRG.
This, and the question of how much Prussia is in East Germany, is what this thread is about.

Since I see these discussions again and again and I am tired of them, I have decided to work on a

(1/2) Probably no book in recent years has done more damage to the evaluation of inner- and East-German history than this one.
The book was written by a liberal Anglo, James Hawes, who basically blames East Germans for all the world's ills.

(21/25) Some will not like it, but for average people, the losses of the Eastern territories were only really hard, when they were themselve affected by them. As a result, the ethnic cleansing of Eastern Europe was again a decidedly East German experience of (ethnic) loss.

(1/17) Today a thread on a very different subject:

(24/25) Catholic West Germans were the basis for the CDU's regular staff and voters. The Protestant areas, on the other hand, had lost their parties, which is why they often fell to the SPD, but today, especially in the south, are again becoming the first Right West German areas.

This self-perception alone, which lacks any reflection on what they have unleashed on the world together with whom, and the reactions show that Anglos have to fall much deeper before they come anywhere near a real catharsis.
English influence on the world is honestly pretty insane. All of these countries are liberal democracies; their state’s function on the ideas of John Locke, a random bloke from Somerset

(8/25) So, as becomes very obvious, this book is more an insight into what has been going wrong in the psyche of liberal Anglos, concerning Germany, for the last two hundred years, than a useful analysis of German history. Nevertheless, the book was a bestseller in the UK.

57
(23/25) The Typus Adenauer was essentially a West German Catholic and local patriot. In his mentality, the ethnic experience was never as deeply rooted as it was in the East. Experiences with foreign powers were less devastating, and national rootings were much weaker.

(1/4) A map showing possible connections of (mostly Germanic) ancient peoples, mainly mentioned by Tacitus, in Central Europe with material cultures.

(22/23) A country that has been culturally destroyed, politically subservient to foreign masters, where crime is going through the roof, the economy is dying and where Germans will soon be a minority.
History is hard and so must be the verdict on Adenauer ...
6

53
(6/25) "East German" is considered to be Prussia, Otto von Bismarck, German Protestantism and the German Reich and thus the ethnically founded German nation state. In short: the German Sonderweg conjured up by the Anglos is regarded by him as specifically caused by East Germans.
2

52
(10/25) In the Middle Ages, due to the German East settlement, the early ethnic and cultural component played a much greater role than in the West.
While the German(-ic) language was basically pushed back since the 9th century by Romanization, it spread in the east.

50
(2/25) I would even go so far as to say that they have shaped the FRG over the last 70 years more than most would think, and that understanding these local structures, especially between East and West Germany, is an essential key to securing long-term political power.

Such kinds desecrations were particularly typical in the Orthodox Christian world. Even the Vandals were respectful in comparison.
This is one of the main reasons why Byzantium is hardly a legitimate successor to the Roman Empire of the Imperial Roman Peroid.
This image goes hard.
At one time this was a statue of a Roman goddess displayed in Corinth.
The Corinthians chose the Boniface option…cutting off her face, carving a cross into it.

(20/25) The rift was to deepen further with the First and Second World Wars. East Germany undoubtedly suffered the most from its outcome. The way the British, Americans and French treated the Germans was downright tame compared to what happened in the East.
1

48
(22/25) Until the end of the Second World War, Prussian elite tradition basically dominated. In the GDR, the Prussian state tradition and Saxon-Thuringian mentality were superficially buried. In the West, the U.S. occupation built a new state tradition based on local mentalities.
1
2
48
(14/25) What is often overlooked in this context, however, is that at the same time as Prussia's rise, the emerging national cultural canon was being shaped in small Saxon and Thuringian states. Large parts of the classical and romantic periods were rooted in these.
1
5
48
(5/25) I read the book "The Shortest History of Germany" already a few months ago.
Essentially, the liberal Anglo author tries to split the history of Germany into a "good" West and an "evil" East. He draws a line from antiquity to the present.
1
1
47
(25/25) Many area gains can be explained by this approach. I appreciate a united Germany, but I think that one will not get around mentalities. Every party that wants to consolidate itself in the long term must secure its strongholds and these clearly go beyond economic Contexts.
2
0
47
(3/25) But let's start from the beginning.
The most obvious political divide is between East and West Germany. Many people tend to attribute this to the GDR alone. I would say that this thesis is wrong at its core. The gap between east and west is much deeper and older.
1
1
46
(19/25 ) For this reason, there is also the notion that Napoleon was the Obstetrician of the German national consciousness. It is very focused on the West, where he actually (somewhat) was. In the East, however, ethnic self-awareness has always been much more pronounced.
1
3
45
(11/25) In the point of decidedly national culture and politics, the East, primarily the Thuringian-Saxon area, was then to become tact prevalent in Germany from the Renaissance on. A often overlooked reality is the national character of Lutheranism, which had its roots there.
2
2
43
(13/25) In the end, then, it was hardly surprising that the young decidedly more ethnic Prussia should win out over multiethnic Austria, which had been administering the Hohenstaufen legacy to death for centuries, in the question of the founder of the German nation-state.
1
2
43
(12/25) Also a consequence of the Lutheran Reformation was the emergence of Prussia, which began to rise in the period after the Thirty Years' War. Due to its eastern location, it has always had a decidedly more ethnic character than the Habsburg Empire.
1
4
43
(18/25) The national movements that did exist, on the other hand, were often modeled on those from France or (Hecker uprising) glorified peasant revolts. However, there was no state that embraced the idea of a nation-state. This, however, was virtually inherent in Prussia's DNA.
1
0
42
(5/23) He never had any interest in Germany as a whole. In particular, he could not stand the Lutheran Prussian elites of the German Empires and with them he did not care about large parts of the country. Adenauer's utopia was always a petty-bourgeois, Rhineland-Catholic society.
2
1
44
(4/25) The German Right always tends to be very fond of referring to what is now the east of the FRG, the former GDR, as "Central Germany".
I would disagree with this term, insofar as I think that there never was a real Central Germany. At least not in the political sense.
1
1
42
(7/25) On the other hand, the following are considered "West German": Catholicism, genuine German culture and history, ties to the West (which the East does not possess), franco- and anglophilia, the FRG, Konrad Adenauer, humanism, and so on.
1
2
42
(15/25) In addition to this elite tradition, catalyzed in the long 19th century, political mentalities emerged which are to this day somewhat descriptive for Eastern Germany and are among the real root of the country's rift.
The rift thus goes back at least 500 years.
1
1
40
(2/23) It is about the historical personality of the first post-war chancellor, Konrad Adeneauer. I also would like to finally dispel a myth that still plagues German conservatives, by which I do not mean recationaries, but all those who do not want to destroy their own country.
2
1
40
(17/25) Also on the basis of the more pronounced Catholicism and the proximity to the Habsburg monarchy, the willingness to allow (national) free spirits was also significantly lower. The result was often exile in Saxony or Thuringia. One could speak of a kind of brain drain.
1

38
(19/23) By this I mean: strict immigration laws, little everyday crime, very conservative social orders and well-developed infrastructure ... the opposite of the country I live in now.
The fact that it could have been so different, remains one of the biggest black pills for me.
1
5
39
(4/4) Some of these observations are quite superficial, but they add up to a picture that has not yet been seen in this way. I may dedicate a German video to the topic on my new channel.
In any case, it is clear that Germany has a lot of catching up to do when the time comes.
4
0
43
(9/25) And at least some observations in the book I find correct. However, I would evaluate them under the opposite sign.
It essentially describes the history of an ethnically self-aware East and a West that still has its problems with this today.

(3/4) 2. Many once typically and exclusively German industries have been deliberately internationalized and outsourced.
In some cases, there are also very clear indications that the USA even indirectly sabotaged, i.e. "shot down", certain industries in their development phase.

(1/9) Since I have read the last few days some discussions:
I always like to remember that the
#Catholic
Church has damaged my country for the last 1200 years at a stretch. For me, as a
#German

#Luther
and Lutheran
#Protestantism

(16/25) In the west of the country, meanwhile, the ethnic component was secondary for long time. The experience of eastern settlement did not exist, cultural borders were much less rigid. Tthere were no states in which the ethnic component was decisive.
1
2
37
(6/19) One of the historically most popular hypothesis is thus the Vaskonic hypothesis. According to this hypothesis, there was once a large language family or Sprachbund in the west of the continent, the last remnants of which are found in Basque.
1
7
37
(17/23) At the same time, this would have meant that many aspects of the development of
#US
politics would never have taken root in
#Germany
. The right-wing dominated
#universities
would have remained, and the
#political
landscape today would be very different from what it is.
1
1
39
(4/23) Let's start from the beginning:
#Adenauer
has a great reputation today among many pro-German citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). He is considered a true
#patriot
and father of the country, often also the best
#chancellor
of the FRG. But that's already wrong.
1
0
38
(9/23) Today, by the way, the
#Rhineland
is the part of the Ferderal Republic of Germany with the smallest percentage of
#Germans
. A bit ironic, isn't it?
But wait, after WW1
#Adenauer
had big plans for his Rhineland!
1
0
38
1/4 The "Lord of
#Boilstedt
", probably lived in the 6th century. He may have belonged to the
#Germanic
greater
#tribe
of the
#Thuringians
, who at that time ruled in what is now the western Czech Republic, central-eastern
#Germany
and present-day western Poland.
1
3
36
(20/23) So to conclude:
#Adenauer
was not a
#German
#patriot
, he was only really interested in his
#Rhineland
, he was not a father of the country and he was probably one of the worst first
#conservative
#chancellors
of the
#FRG
imaginable.
2
1
37
(21/23) What Adenauer wanted to make out of the FRG was an enlarged Rhineland, where Catholic petty bourgeois can denounce each other because they cut the hedge 2cm too low and then cuddle up for carnival as if nothing had ever happened.
What he has created in the long run?
1
1
37
(10/23)
#Adenauer
had already shown at that time, that he had no interest in
#Germany
. But only after the country was devastated in the Second World War, his moment had come.
He was fundamentally anti-communist and
#Catholic
-
#conservative
, but at the same time anti-German.
2
0
36
(13/23) compared to the
#GDR
, which had to pay reparations to the
#USSR
, the
#FRG
profited from the Marshall Plan.
In the long run, however, he has thus denied Germany any
#geopolitics
of its own and culturally thrown wide open the doors to US universities and their decay.

1
35
(1/16) Today a thread about another piece of
#Germanic
history that is quite interesting to understand the political structures of that time. The story of Boiocalus and the
#Ampsivari
.
1

37
(2/4) 1. Essentially since the end of the Second World War, core technological know-how has only been managed and expanded in some areas. However, no essentially new economic fields were developed by German companies or at least not sustainably.

39
(15/16) But would there have been any other way? What would have happened if he had not subjected Germany to Western hegemony and also not to that of the Eastern bloc? Would it have been possible at all?
The answer, unfortunately, is yes.

(2/2) Thanks to certain YouTube videos, his ideas have experienced a recent surge in popularity.
As a corrective to this misrepresentation of east Germans, I recommend English-speaking followers to revisit my thread on inner-German political landscapes.
(1/25) For centuries, Germany was shaped by various small states and elites. However, I would argue that these still live on today in the political mentality of the regions of the FRG.
This, and the question of how much Prussia is in East Germany, is what this thread is about.

Everything that is known about the Vandals indicates very clearly that they were Germanic.
So are the fragments of their language that still exist. Not to mention the material culture.
