@NorthIreland Quite on spot. We are so afraid and ashamed of our own history and everything that even comes close to being nationalistic that even the last night of the proms for example makes us uncomfortable, because there are people with national flags loudly singing patriotic songs with pride and joy. An event where some dude dressed up in an imperial german uniform sings songs about germanys greatness and strength is completely unimaginable for us. National pride is only allowed in football. Some SATW strips hit the nail right on the head:
On the other hand, nationalist conservative parties are gaining in strength all over Europe at the moment, and germany is no exception there. Our AFD is not yet as strong as say the french FN or polish PIS, but they exist and are gaining followers.
