  • There are good reasons to go to Germany, like relatively high salaries (it always depends on where you’re comparing. At least in the fields I’m about to work in you earn significantly more in Germany than in Austria), high security, good schools and universities, … (similar to Austria in that regard, maybe slightly worse).

    The only reason against Europe in general is that you pay a lot for mandatory purchases (a home (doesn’t matter if rented or bought), groceries, …). Personally I still prefer that over cheaper costs of living but less security, worse child- and healthcare etc. but something has to change, because it’s only getting more extreme.

    If the development of 50 years ago to today will continue for the next 50 years something like a civil war is inevitable.


  • It’s not like antisemitism prevented people from supporting the NSDAP (in many cases the opposite). Sure, when they were elected they didn’t know what to do with Jews yet, but antisemitism was one of the pillars of their philosophy (if the people are unhappy you have to take responsibility or simply point at someone and say “they are responsible, it’s their fault”) and antisemitism has existed since forever. (Of course there were not only Jews in concentration camps but they were initially made for them).

    And sadly antisemitism still exists today in many areas of the world.








  • Theoretically if this ideal state keeps going for long enough it’d reach a point where the economy becomes so strong that working hours can be reduced to miniscule amounts, with enough money left over to pay for people who can’t work (due to mentally or physically not being capable of anything that a machine can’t already do).

    This can obviously not happen when increased productivity is only used to increase profits.

    Why even increase profits when the company already was doing fine before? Oh right, because all other companies do that too and you have to stay competitive. And they have to stay competitive with companies from other countries too, so as long as there’s not peace between all countries there also can’t be economical peace, ending the hunt for higher profits and leading humanity to a bright future.

    We all know that this will never happen.
