Well, since so many people here are German, I feel like I should ask something I've always wondered.
When I was a kid I lived in Germany for three years because my dad was stationed at Ramstein Air Force Base.
Does it make you guys mad that we have military bases in your country?
I know if Germany randomly decided to set up a military base in like, South Carolina or something, we wouldnt be ok with it. I always wondered if people in other countries felt the same about it.
Good question. I pretty much doubt that everyone here is "okay" with it. The more important point is, that most people would not dare to protest against ist.
This is simply because Germany still has to fight the prejudice of us all still being ****s, you know? Maybe it doesn't seem like that to others, we have to very careful what we do and show in any way possible that we are different now.
This is also the reason why Germany has to play far more nice, social, helpful and supportive in EU politics than any other country. At least that are my impressions.
