im currently on a train in germany and there are some boomers behind me talking about trad wifes
(hexbear.net)
they also believe that the reason for our schools performing like shit are "the immigrants being uncivilized islamics"
edit: and also they are teachers, TEACHERS! this is who has power over children in this country
The history of teachers in germany, as a group, isn't really one of a progressive force. I think the only time that was true than slightly higher than average was in the 80s after the reforms surrounding education allowed people who weren't landed gentry to study, which so many did we had an overflow of teachers who all ended up driving taxis, as the joke goes.
the thing is that im in the former gdr currently. it is really fucking heartbreaking that 40 years of socialism amounted to nothing at all.
That is totally depressing and heartbreaking
Is your history just not taught? Like how does the unified state deal with the DDR period? Is the prevailing narrative that it was a mistake, or an anomalous condition imposed by outside imperialist forces? Where did the class consciousness go?
Horseshoe theory bordering on holocaust minimization. Also, we had purges of socialists that were carried out with a fervor never seen when it came to purging fascists after WW2, absolutely crushing amounts of end of history / capitalist realism bs, neoliberal shock therapy that meant over 80% of people lost the jobs they had in the DDR oh and also 35 years of letting nazis move into the post-annexation political vacuum, organizing there and securing their footholds with daily violence on the streets against anybody nazis don't approve of.
