Ok...so you've just seen some propaganda videos and decided that California is akin to a third-world country. Lo.

Lo. What even is a propaganda video? This is literally just footage of the actual city and what is happening there. You could watch it on mute and it would have the same effect. Now go try to find a place in Germany that looks anywhere as bad to film

I can film tons of such footage in Berlin if I want to portray it as the biggest hellhole on earth. There's actually a DW documentary about rampant homelessness in Berlin. https://www.dw.com/en/berlin-homeless-capital-of-germany/video-42008824 Edited December 28, 2022 by Brishka

Yeah, who would have thought living under an actual dictatorship for 40 years and then transitioning into a democratic market economy while being reunified with another territory out of the blue merely 30 years ago is a complicated process that takes many decades until the differences can get meaningfully reduced...that's totally the same thing that American "poor ignorant red states" went through .

A.R.L Posted December 28, 2022 Posted December 28, 2022 I think it's safe to say that america has more homeless people for many reasons including a rising population, but it's a sad reality for the affected victims in the entire world

Kamil24 Posted December 29, 2022 Posted December 29, 2022 As a Canadian, Germany seems much bigger tbh.

I've also driven into New York (isn't that even a blue state?), and it looks much worse and poor than anything I've ever seen in Europe.

Their power militarily and economically fell hard after the war (understandably so) and so did their influence. And let’s be real, some of the policies under Merkel didn’t help. Beautiful country and culture but California is iconic.

The Federal Republic is the most stable, peaceful, prosperous and admired Germany that has ever existed since at least 1871, you're like 100% wrong on every single level . Germany's wealth, influence, size, etc. massively increased through everything that happened during the last 30 years (foundation of the EU, introduction of the Euro, German reunification, relative stability compared to other countries like the UK or Italy, etc.).

Mr.Link Posted December 30, 2022 Posted December 30, 2022 The one that’s not single handedly sponsoring the homeless population of the US for the sake of being “progressive” and “liberal”.
TomTom Posted December 30, 2022 Posted December 30, 2022 Just now, Dessy said: California never lost 2 world wars so them! Germany did not unilaterally cause and is not solely responsible for WW1.
Blade Runner Posted December 30, 2022 Posted December 30, 2022 As usual with the US, California was stolen from Mexico, so...

Lo. California is, and like the US a third world country. Germans enjoy actual high standards of living, smaller inequality, and police officers that will likely not kill you for being black, don’t have to worry about being shot and killed at school, the mall or anywhere else, and one injury won’t put you in a lifetime of debt. You don’t even have to worry about selling your house to afford insulin.

You don't need to state it because that's what your comment implies. The statement "Germany lost two world wars" implies that WW1 and WW2 are comparable in the sense that both were actively caused and intended by Germany since you can not win or lose a war without having (or not having) the goal to do so in the first place. However, unlike WW2, the causes of WW1 are incredibly complex, multi-faceted and still being debated to this day - including the question to what degree a world war was even intended by any of the belligerents. So, in light of the above, it's incorrect to say "Germany lost two world wars" - unless you want to incorrectly frame WW1 as a "German war" just like WW2. It's true that Germany was ultimately held responsible for WW1, but those are two separate things.
