MODERATORS
Cool, didn’t realise it was real gdp. That’s better than expected then. However, pretty petty thing to spout out when celebrating another country. Little Britain indeed.
No, Germany is too big, and has an outsized influence in Europe.
I'm anti federalist, Germany is a federation, I have nothing against the people.
Just my opinion, but countries are just concepts. Dangerous ones, as proven in history and today
Right, so why are you here desparately trying to prove that our country is doing so much worse than yours? On a post where that's not even a relevant discussion no less?
Not desperate to prove anything, facts are facts.
The post had numbers about Germany in the image. I just added some more.
It's not my fault if you get butt hurt because I don't think celebrating the unity is a good idea.
Same as older Western Germans didn't want to discuss Nazis in positions of power during the sixties, including the chancellor, because the economy was doing so well. Thankfully young German students revolted and demanded their removal. Only when it got into the media was action taken. Truth is truth.

And the numbers are so bad now because you hitched your economy to cheap Russian energy and Chinese exports.
Makes you lot laughing at brexit for 7 years quite ironic. I think there's a word for it, schadenfreude?
Another good one is "Minderwertigkeitskomplex", a deep-seated feeling of inferiority that leads to desperate attempts to compensate by belittling others.
Is there one for being thin skinned about reality?
British
It's quite telling that Brits constantly bring this up because it's just not well substantiated. The UK isn't that present in German media when you compare it to countries like France, USA, China or even Poland. You guys seem to think a lot more about us than we do about you.
