Are you wondering if you can migrate to Germany without a job? Yes, it is correct. You can. Germany is the ideal environment for a foreign worker, with a winning combination of fast growth and low unemployment. Rather than doing an interview digitally via the internet, it is normally preferable to appear in person for a face-to-face interview.

WaPo: How car bans and heat pump rules drive voters to the far right

Shannon Osaka at WaPo:

More than a decade ago, the Netherlands embarked on a straightforward plan to cut carbon emissions. Its legislature raised taxes on natural gas, using the money earned to help Dutch households install solar panels. By most measures, the program worked: By 2022, 20 percent of homes in the Netherlands had solar panels, up from about 2 percent in 2013. Natural gas prices, meanwhile, rose by almost 50 percent. But something else happened, according to a new study. The Dutch families who were most vulnerable to the increase in gas prices — renters who paid their own utility bills — drifted to the right. Families facing increased home energy costs became 5 to 6 percent more likely to vote for one of the Netherlands’ far-right parties. A similar backlash is happening all over Europe, as far-right parties position themselves in opposition to green policies. In Germany, a law that would have required homeowners to install heat pumps galvanized the far-right Alternative for Germany party, or AfD, giving it a boost. Farmers have rolled tractors into Paris to protest E.U. agricultural rules, and drivers in Italy and Britain have protested attempts to ban gas-guzzling cars from city centers.

That resurgence of the right could slow down the green transition in Europe, which has been less polarized on global warming, and serves as a warning to the United States, where policies around electric vehicles and gas stoves have already sparked a backlash. The shift also shows how, as climate policies increasingly touch citizens’ lives, even countries whose voters are staunchly supportive of clean energy may hit roadblocks. “This has really expanded the coalition of the far right,” said Erik Voeten, a professor of geopolitics at Georgetown University and the author of the new study on the Netherlands.

Other studies have found similar results. In one study in Milan, researchers at Bocconi University studied the voting patterns of drivers whose cars were banned from the city center for being too polluting. These drivers, who on average lost the equivalent of $4,000 because of the ban, were significantly more likely to vote for the right-wing Lega party in subsequent elections. In Sweden, researchers found that low-income families facing high electricity prices were also more likely to turn toward the far right. Far-right parties in Europe have started to position themselves against climate action, expanding their platforms from anti-immigration and anti-globalization. A decade ago, the Dutch right-wing Party for Freedom emphasized that it wasn’t against renewable energy — just increasing energy prices. But by 2021, the party’s manifesto had moved to more extreme language. “Energy is a basic need, but climate madness has turned it into a very expensive luxury item,” the manifesto said. “The far right has increasingly started to campaign on opposition to environmental policies and climate change,” Voeten said.

The pushback also reflects, in part, how much Europe has decarbonized. More than 60 percent of the continent’s electricity already comes from renewable sources or nuclear power; so meeting the European Union’s climate goals means tacklingother sectors — transportation, buildings, agriculture.

[...] Some of these voting patterns have also played out in the United States. According to a study by the Princeton political scientist Alexander Gazmararian, historically-Democratic coal communities that lost jobs in the shift to natural gas increased their support for Republican candidates by 5 percent. The shift was larger in areas located farther from new gas power plants — that is, areas where voters couldn’t see that it was natural gas, not environmental regulations, that undercut coal.

Gazmararian says that while climate denial and fossil fuel misinformation have definitely played a role, many voters are motivated simply by their own financial pressures. “They’re in an economic circumstance where they don’t have many options,” he said. The solution, experts say, is todesign policies that avoid putting too much financial burden on individual consumers. In Germany, where the law to install heat pumps would have cost homeowners $7,500 to $8,500 more than installing gas boilers, policymakers quickly retreated. But by that point, far-right party membership had already surged.

The Washington Post explains what may be at least partially causing the rise of far-right extremist parties in Europe, Conservatives in Canada, and the Republicans in some parts of the US: rising energy costs that low-income people are bearing the brunt of.

In the US, right-wing hysteria about gas stove bans and electric vehicles are also playing a role.

It strikes me that there are 2 different (modern) Israels, and in the US and Europe, we're only really taught about one of them.

You might know this one: in 1947, the UN adopted a partition plan to create Israel. This was intended as reparations for the holocaust--but mysteriously, would not be comprised of land from the perpetrators, the Axis powers. Wikipedia has a good primer:

Here's the important thing to know: that Israel doesn't exist. The plan was never implemented. It would have required that Palestinians give up the majority of their land to create a new country, despite having an overwhelming majority of the population in the territory. Mass theft and expulsion was not reasonable. Palestinians boycotted the talks. Ultimately this country never came into existence; a massive terrorist attack left it moot.

There's a second Israel that has its origins in the 1840's. British Evangelical Christians came up with the idea that Jewish people should be shipped off to Palestine to bring about the second coming. Yes, it's as antisemitic as it sounds. You can read a primer on Wikipedia here:

In 1914, the British promised to liberate Palestine and return it to Palestinian rule in return for military support against the Ottomans. They didn't uphold their end of the deal (no surprise), and opted to manufacture a conflict: in 1917, they promised to create a Jewish homeland, and encouraged Zionist immigration specifically, to strengthen their "peacekeeping" claim to the territory. (Differentiation: Zionists are those who specifically support a Jewish ethnostate on Palestinian territory; one does not have to be Jewish to be a Zionist, and not all Jews are Zionist.)

In 1936, the Palestinians fought back against the British, who still hadn't kept their promise to free Palestine. Unlike the American revolution, Palestinians lost. If you're starting to think this sounds a lot like how Britain treated India, you're not far off.

In 1938, Britain decided to take steps to honor its promise to free Palestine. This spurred escalations from multiple Zionist terrorist organizations: comprised of foreigners who believed they had a greater right to the land than the locals, Haganah, Irgun, and Lehi coordinated against the British and Palestinians.

Haganah formed earlier, in the 1920s, and originally worked with the British to prevent Palestinian liberation. They were eventually armed by Poland.

Irgun was an internationally recognized (including by the US) terrorist organization. They're known for a particularly heinous bombing:

They worked with Haganah to plan it, and you may recognize a specific tactic they used: a phone call to "warn" their victims in advance.

They formed because they believed armed force should be used to prevent Palestinian freedom, and allow Zionists to secure a future country. Their whole cause for existence was to suppress Arabs and make them compliant.

They explicitly believed that terrorism was a necessary tactic to steal Palestinian land for their own benefit.

Lehi is an offshoot of Irgun that described itself as a terrorist organization. It's important to understand that this organization also explicitly wanted to ally itself with Axis powers, specifically Nazi Germany and Italy. Their goal was to create a totalitarian Jewish ethnostate that would operate by the same values that Nazis held.

This all came to a head in 1948. Britain basically said, "fuck it, we created this mess, but we're not going to fix it." They pulled out of Palestine, without making good on their promise to free it.

The Zionist terrorist organizations banded together for one large terrorist attack after the British left: they massacred Palestinians in multiple hundreds of villages and forced them out of the territory--including the use of bio-terrorism to ensure they wouldn't return:

In the aftermath, these terrorist organizations decided to cosplay as a country, now going by the name Israel. Under this new name, these organizations worked together to destroy evidence of their 1948 terrorist attacks.

It's worth mentioning as well, that Israel continues to honor its component terrorist organizations; it still has a military service ribbon named for Lehi--the organization that literally wanted to pal around with Hitler.

Despite the merger and name change, these terrorist organizations have never ceased their violent attacks against the Palestinian people. They regularly escalate the ongoing ethnic cleansing any time they can create an excuse. They were slaughtering Palestinians on a regular basis, even before Israel's October 7 escalation.

Palestine remains oppressed by a terrorist entity that US and European governments are funding and arming.

The only reason you haven't heard about this Israel is because the US government has a vested interest in propaganda that portrays them as a legitimate country: they serve as a military presence for us in the mid-east.

You already know why our government lied about WMDs as a pretext for war against Iraq and Afghanistan; it shouldn't be a surprise that our government has the same motivation for maintaining ties with a terrorist organization operating in the same region, seemingly tied to our interests.

Americans and Europeans: you should be questioning this propaganda and advocating for the Palestinian victims of genocide: your tax dollars are funding terrorism. When you decide "it's too complicated, I don't know enough to have an opinion" or "both sides engage in violence so I'll just equivocate", then you're helping to normalize these atrocities. You're making it easier to spread propaganda in favor of arming and funding Israeli terrorism.

You should speak up in favor of a one state solution, led by Palestinians. The history of these Zionist terrorist organizations makes it clear that this is the only way for there to be justice. The leaders of the Zionist entity should be brought to trial, and Israel permanently disbanded.

The WokeTards are hysterical, literally hysterical. You can't even get them to discuss issues. I know. I've tried. They just can't do it. Facts are worthless to them. They hate Trump. Their feelings. Their emotions. They HATE and that's all they need to know.

Trump is "Racist," for example, for wanting to enforce U.S. immigration laws. That's "Racist." And never mind the fact that U.S. immigration laws are WAY more liberal than Mexico's.

Google it. Pretend you want to go move to Mexico, live there, maybe become a citizen. Go look at the requirements, the process. U.S. immigration laws are WAY more liberal!

In Canada, not only won't they accept illegal aliens but the legal ones only have so long to become independent, and then they get shipped back home. I think it's three years, and then they get the boot, but while you're pretending to want to move to Canada, and researching this stuff, you can find out.

Europe? The United States is WAY more liberal than the E.U. states, when it comes to immigration. And we're way, WAY more liberal than the U.K., which enacted a plan to ship their illegals including asylum seekers to Africa! Germany is looking at enacting such a plan themselves.

Trump is MORE LIBERAL than Europe, Canada or Mexico, on immigration. Trump is MORE open than any of them are. Yet Trump is "Racist" for wanting to enforce our laws.

I sincerely doubt a single one can tell you why they feel the way they do, what made them think those things. And I have asked. Like the time they all went bananas because Trump revoked a security clearance from some old retired white guy. HOW could they get upset about that? At this point they don't even remember doing it, going ape over a retired man losing his security clearance. But they did it. And that's just one small example we all had to endure...

Remember when the LeftTards got all spastic because they're all pro war, love war and Trump said he wanted to withdraw our assets from Syria? WHY did that upset them? And, again, I sincerely doubt that they can even remember getting upset, much less why. But they did. They got spit-flying, hair-pulling, veins-popping-out of-their-foreheads UPSET because Trump didn't want us involved in a war in Syria.

They can't tell you why. Assuming any of them are even capable of remembering, they can't tell you why.

Brazil Leads Race To Host 2027 Women’s World Cup

In a three-horse race for the next Women’s World Cup, Brazil had always been something of an outsider. FIFA, soccer’s world governing body, had good reasons to prefer the joint North American bid of Mexico and the United States or the European bid of the triumvirate of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany (BNG): those two bids represented core markets that could deliver guaranteed revenue and a pathway to equal prize money after the tournament in faraway Australia and New Zealand.

But earlier this month the US and Mexico dropped out and last Tuesday FIFA’s own bid evaluation report pointed to Brazil as the bidding candidate with the best credentials. The BNG bid was marked down with a score of 3.7. Brazil got 4.0.

The European bid was knocked down because of a high-risk score on its legal framework. The report noted on Belgium, the junior partner of BNG: “Specific areas in which the level of commitment required by FIFA has not been met include taxes, immigration procedures, labour law, and safety and security… FIFA is exposed to potential unanticipated financial liabilities and operational delivery risks.”

FIFA also identified tax risks in the Netherlands and highlighted some problems in Germany. Zurich is accustomed to benefiting from major tax breaks as part of host contracts in countries that stage the World Cup. To stand a chance in a World Cup bidding process, prospective host nations cannot deviate from a demand that FIFA deems crucial to its operations and the well-being of its officials.

A part of Germany (Sachsen-Anhalt) now requires you to vow that you agree that Israel has the right to be a state to be allowed neutralization.

The official argument for that is that they want to keep antisemitic people out of the country. An article (its only in german) describes that the naturalization is impossible if immigrants follow ideals that defy the basic democratic order. It states that such ideals include "antisemitic crimes and denying Israel's right to exist"

Denying the holocaust, a mass genocide, is considered an antisemitic crime and is strictly punished in Germany.

Yet in the same sentence they compare said crimes to denying Israel's statehood, a country which has been trying to ethnically cleanse Palestinians, thereby committing genocide.

Basically they are saying: you're excluded from naturalisation if you deny the genocide that happened in Germany, or point out that a state that is currently commiting genocide shouldn't exist.

The fucking audacity to protect Israel because you feel bad when you think about criticising people who your ancestors ethically cleansed...I cannot believe this. Germany is assisting, promoting and encouraging Israel in commiting genocide. This isn't exclusively because of guilt or fear of being on the wrong side of history. Its the result of the rising arabphobia in this shitstain of a country that has been happening for YEARS.

Germany is incredibly racist and the german government is abusing the pain Israel has caused Palestinians and arabs in general to justify denying arabs, who fled to europe, shelter and safety in a country that is already incredibly hostile towards them.

I am ashamed to be born in this fucking country. My grandparents didn't come to this country to work their fucking asses off just so I could be threatened by the state to shut my mouth on this topic. I'm not allowed to protest a GENOCIDE. The german government is breaking their own constitution to deny other people basic human rights, to deny protection to those who need it most and to further the racist political ideologies in Germany even further.

Here is an article in English by the Washington Post

Germany’s Bundestag will discuss, on Friday, two draft laws that propose imposing harsher penalties for alleged anti-Semitic expression and making citizenship conditional on recognising Israel’s right to exist and steering clear of criticising the Occupation State. According to a document published on the German Bundestag’s website, the federal parliament will “discuss for the first time two draft laws submitted by the CDU/CSU parliamentary group” on changing the criminal code on “combatting anti-Semitism, terror, hatred and incitement” and ending “the residence and preventing the naturalisation of anti-Semitic foreigners”. The first bill is reportedly a reaction to the operation carried out by Palestinian Resistance group, Hamas, in Israeli-held territory on 7 October, which the Bundestag says “exacerbates the threat level for Jewish citizens in Germany as well. It is intolerable and unacceptable that Hamas terrorism and anti-Semitism are cheered and propagated, that Israel’s right to exist is publicly denied at demonstrations and that the destruction of the State of Israel is called for.” The governmental body also reiterated Germany’s belief that “the protection of Jewish life is a state responsibility and non-negotiable. Jews should be able to feel safe in Germany. Furthermore, such acts damaged community cohesion and threatened the stability of society as a whole. The state is therefore particularly called upon to act here”. The draft will also ensure that “the protection gaps in the event of a breach of the peace are to be closed and the current penalty range is to be increased and the criminal liability of … appealing for sympathy is to be restored”. It further stated that there should be an increase in “the range of penalties for sedition”, which it defined as “punishment for denying the right to exist of the State of Israel and for calling for the abolition of the State of Israel”. Regarding the second bill, the draft advocates that changes should be made to Germany’s residence, asylum and nationality law in order to “provide better protection against the further entrenchment and spread of anti-Semitism that has ‘immigrated’ from abroad”. The parliamentary group reportedly aims to introduce into the country’s residence law the requirement that not only will an anti-Semitic crime result in expulsion of the alleged perpetrator, but also results in a conviction leading to “a prison sentence of at least six months and to the denial or loss of humanitarian protection in Germany”. Under that second draft bill, the acquisition of German citizenship by refugees, asylum seekers or migrants will “be dependent on a commitment to Israel’s right to exist and a declaration that the naturalisation applicant has not pursued or pursued any endeavours directed against the existence of the State of Israel.” As a consequence, if there are “actual, unshakable indications of an anti-Semitic attitude on the part of the applicant”, according to the bill’s goal, “naturalisation according to their will should be expressly excluded.” There would also reportedly be a new offence introduced into nationality law in which “people with at least one other nationality lose their German nationality if they are convicted of an anti-Semitic crime and given a prison sentence of at least one year.”

Here's a short article about interviews the Tagesschau, germany's biggest publically funded news show, held with three muslim germans about the current fears of muslim people in germany.

It's in german and I am too tired to translate the whole article right now, will do so tomorrow, but the interviewers mention that they can't really get muslim people as guests for their interviews anymore because most of the people they ask are too scared to talk to them.

The people they did get on this interview are social workers and all mention that muslim people coming to them for advice are too scared to express their empathy and sorrow for the people in Gaza because they are worried that they will be vilified if they do so. They mention that the people they talked to are feeling like they're getting increasingly segregated from german society, that they aren't seen as fellow citizens but as foreigners under general suspicion that constantly have to justify themselves , that many of these people are considering to emigrate because they don't feel safe in germany anymore.

But the german government doesn't do anything to help these people , on the contrary they are just stoking islamophobia, racism and antisemitism more and more through the biased claims and conflations they keep publically putting out , by criminalising pro-palestinian opinions as hate speech with potential risk of deportation and by proposing and considering laws that make deportation of refugees and immigrants faster and easier for the government, including ones that call for loyalty to Israel to be made a requirement for naturalization.

Meanwhile the far right white supremacist parties keep gaining more and more support, but of course the government isn't doing anything about that either.

I see that amethyst already beat me here but let me talk about the Fischoeders from season 1 (for context to amethyst's ask)

So in the episode Torpedo from Season 1, towards the end of the episode Calvin and Bob have this exchange

Calvin: Ah, roller coasters come and go. But Bobs are once in a lifetime. I admire you.

Bob:You do?

Calvin: You remind me of my father, He was honest, and he worked hard.You an immigrant, Bob?

Bob: Um no.

Which implies their father was an immigrant, which will further help my own theory that I've been working on. Which is based on me and amethyst's preexisting theory that she is deadset is correct

That is all, thats context, any additions to the new or old theory are welcome :>

(I would love feedback on the theory because I want to build it more and add more details and stuff to it)

i think the fischoeder's dad being an immigrant makes sense!! maybe he immigrated in his late teens or early 20s bcuz he already seemed to mostly have his business and life sorted out by the time calvin and felix were born

because of the time calvin was born (maybe like the 1950s) immigration from europe was very common. bob's mom's family likely immigrated in the 1920s before world war 2 to new york from like germany or whatever, could definitely see calvin being of austrian/german heritage (at least on his father's side). google says that "the name fischoeder is derived from the german word fischer which means fisherman. this suggests that the early bearers of the name were likely involved in fishing or lived near bodies of water." so most likely his father's family was german or austrian and immigrated around world war 2, and in-canon he would come from a coastal town or a family of fishermen. which isn't unlikely lmao

back in the day requirements for immigration were not as strict (depending on where you were from. probably. i hear they weren't big fans of european jewish immigration in the 1930s!!!) so it's not a stretch to assume that calvin's dad immigrated to america for political reasons etc and eventually built a life for himself as a businessman in a small oceanside town. how it became big enough that calvin is RICH rich is beyond me but idk much about buisness tbf

he also could have had generational wealth on his mom's side although that seems more unlikely based on what we've been told

or maybe he just asked bob if he was an immigrant bcuz of his *geastures vaugely* vibes

#linda is from italian immigrants on both sides of her family!!! #bob's paternal side we dont know much about but he has a french canadian last name passed down through the father's side #probably the other side is european immigrants bcuz yknow. theyre white #ask #bob's burgers

Mathilde Wichmann, former Immigrant Inspector, explains the work undertaken by female boarding inspectors at Ellis Island (p. 1, 4, 6, 8), May 26, 1903.

Sir:

  Believing you desirous of securing full enlightenment on the work accomplished by the Women Immigrant Inspectors at the Port of New York, and furthermore, knowing that our detailed reports have not come to your personal attention, although our work has been criticized as a failure, I take from this opportunity of sending you a full report of our work from February 11th to May 14, 1903.

  In the absence of more detailed instruction, we have worked along the line of the need expressed by you when you consented to our appointment.  We think that the actual results in the exclusion of unqualified aliens in the prevention of disaster to individuals who are choosing our country for their own,  are sufficient to justify the continuance of our work, especially as it is evident that many of these results could be accomplished only by women.  

  In grouping these cases, I have tried to arrange them to show (1) those where it is obviously improper that a man, unless he be a physician, should have anything to say in the matter, (2) those

Hey I am hoping you can answer this (no pressure of you don't wanna answer).

What is the Swiss public's general opinion on Austria and Germany?

I am just super curious about this. Thank you!

Hiiii, thank you for your question!!

(I can really only speak for the german speaking part of Switzerland, specifically the part near the German border (Nordwestschweiz) because that’s where I live and experiences and opinions might vary)

That being said, the first thing I would like to point out, is that in most cases, I believe Swiss people don’t actually know that much about Germany and Austria (maybe in that regard Germany more so than Austria, just because it's such a big country) and most of our feelings toward these countries tend to be somewhat superficial and/or based solely on the experiences with German/Austrian people living in Switzerland.

I‘m gonna start with Austria, because i think it’s easier:

At least in my experience Austria is very positively regarded in Switzerland. Idk how to explain it but there's a sense of community, camaraderie even... It might be the Alpine (skiing) culture that connects us, or the fact that we both don’t speak the ‚correct‘ german and hence have been victims of many jokes made about us by Germans (I mean sure, we might also make a little fun of the Austrian pronunciation, but just know it comes from a place of admiration and love). In my experience a lot of Swiss people appreciate the Austrian cuisine, culture and the hospitality and generally consider Austrians to be very easy-going and friendly. I think when it comes to the general mentality of the people, Austrians are more similar to Swiss people than Germans are, which makes them more likeable to us.

So overall, I'd say Austria has a pretty good reputation in Switzerland :)

The way Germany and Germans are perceived is a little bit trickier: I mean Germany is obviously a very beautiful country and I'm fairly certain most Swiss people would agree with me on this, but unfortunately, on a very superficial level, Swiss people tend to not regard Germans that highly and I think there are a number of reasons for this:

firstly, compared to Swiss people, Germans just happen to be very direct. („Ich hätte gerne ein Brötchen, bitte“ vs. „Ich krieg ein Brötchen“, you know?) and obviously that’s just cultural differences, but to Swiss people this directness is often interpreted as rudeness or arrogance. Swiss people are extremely reserved and I could imagine that that probably looks to Germans like aversion, which makes them dislike us, which in turn makes us dislike them… so it’s a vicious cycle :/

Secondly, since the 90s, there’s been an influx of German people who come to work in Switzerland and I believe a lot of Swiss people felt (or feel) threatened by that, especially since there is no language barrier (like for example with immigrants from non-german speaking countries), which means that the Germans can get highly qualified jobs. (I might even argue that they have a slight advantage in jobs that require (public) speaking or generally a way with words, because whatever they say will sound so much more sophisticated when compared to somebody speaking standard german with a strong swiss german accent. And Germans have a lot of little phrases that make them sound real intelligent, while Swiss people tend to sound more… crude? Idk). And since there is a considerable amount of very smart Germans who work in Switzerland to get that big buck but still live in Germany where the cost of living is cheaper, there is some resentment from Swiss people who don't think this is fair.

Thirdly, I think the fact that we technically speak the same language, yet still Swiss people often have to switch to Standard German to communicate, accentuates and augments the already existing cultural differences in a rather negative way. Plus, a lot of Swiss people experience a kind of inferiority complex when speaking standard German, and that certainly doesn’t help.

Fourthly, a lot of the time it's more of a Hassliebe when it comes to Germany, because we just like to complain about stuff and hate admitting that something or someone is actually quite nice and might actually be better than us in various ways 👀

HOWEVER. We absolutely don’t hate Germany! I think most of those feelings of ‚resentment‘ are just due to a somewhat superficial understanding of German culture and a feeling of intimidation in regards to our big neighbour lmao.

There’s loads we love and appreciate about Germany! Just to list a (superficial) few:

German cars

Die Autobahn

Billig Einkaufen

Europapark

Bier

Pfandflaschenautomat

Brot/Deutsche Küche allgemein

your incredible dedication to Spargelsaison

all the niche rules you come up with and all the loop-holes you find in regards to those rules

the ability to make paperwork so complicated. it's truly fascinating

And I also think a lot of Swiss people are secretly quite envious of how direct Germans are "allowed" to be, and of how much more friendly/less reserved they are.

Sorry for the essay lmao, this got kinda out of hand but i really really really want to emphasise that we do! not! hate! Germans and Germany! I really think what tends to ‚strain‘ our mutual relationship are the cultural differences - as I said, in the eyes of the Swiss the Germans might seem rude and for the Germans the Swiss might come across as cold and unfriendly. But as soon as these differences are acknowledged, we can really get along quite well <3

In conclusion, I think most Swiss people are rather fond of Austria and Germany :) I hope this answered your question

(Swiss people if you disagree with me or have anything to add, please do!!)

#sorry this turned into a novel lmao but i just don't want people to think we actually hate germany cause we really don't #to all my german mutuals (dutuals) I LOVE YOU ALL PLEASE DONT THINK I HATE YOU OR GERMANY <3 #but basically i think it's really the conflict of the german directness and the swiss reservation that might make it seem like we don't #like germans #german stuff #helvetia #ask #anon
