  • Just FYI: There are laws in DE concerning Holocaust denial, relativism etc. The subject is tricky to say the least. I understand the feddit.org mods don’t want to find themselves in court because some edgelords went on a rampage. They are already cursed enough moderating ich_iel ;)

    Personally, I feel the whole discussion regarding Israel/Gaza is extremely difficult in Germany, even at my Stammtisch. The underlying reason is obviously found in our history, though the consequences of that history are misunderstood. Never again means never again, I don’t care who commits the atrocities.










  • We have one of the worst rates of home ownership in DE, compared to the rest of EU: Page is in german but the graph is pretty much self-explanatory.
    But that can’t be the sole reason, because the home ownership rates are actually better in the east than in the west. Hmm, during the Cold War, the former GDR actually had incredible child care. Even smaller companies were often required to have some sort of Kindergarten and other support for parents. Maybe this is still remembered by today’s potential parents, and - like someone said ITT - parents have it hard enough already.

    Fun fact: This was explained to me (in High School…) because “the enemy” wanted to indoctrinate children at a very young age because communism… I didn’t even had to ask, that came immediately when the then GDR was discussed as part of the official curriculum.
