  3. @wookie2222 Wookie - very good insight and analysis. I hope there is much more people like you in Germany with this approach but we both know it’s not the reality... I used to work in German several times - the longest for Mannesman D2 in Duesseldorf and met both good open people as well as people who treated me with prejudice and sometimes even discriminated against me. I speak German but due to the popularity of English never got proficient in it - so regular Germans in the street would often treat me as a ‘ghastarbeiter’ when I spoke German to them. Later I learnt a trick to start convos first in English and when my interlocutor sucked at it - I was turning to German. That way a proper respect was guaranteed ;) - is it a German thing or the low class people problem - don’t know. That was in 2001. As I got older I met many human snakes and sordid a-holes in Poland as well. We, Europeans are more connected than we want to admit. Poland had tremendous influx and outflow of people - for example my great great grandpa whom I never had a chance to meet was German. Does it matter? Not at all - I’m Polish and there are many Polish people with such predecessors... I think the big problem with Germans is that a lot of them trust their government and believe it’s acting to help them and lead Germany in beneficial direction. We Poles differ here and generally know government people are oppressive a-holes. But I hope Germans are opening their eyes in this respect recently and opposing and pushing their government to action regarding Ukraine. I don’t agree with your assessment of the situation regarding German policies for the last twenty years. I think Putler had corrupted and bribed your whole political class - well maybe not whole but hundreds of them. He had the funds to do it and russians are master spies... One more thing. It’s what always annoys me with Germans like you - please don’t say - ‘we did that to Poles’ - it wasn’t you! The people who did it are gone. Maybe it was your grandpa but still - with your convictions and perceptions of reality that you are presenting - in my eyes at least - you had nothing to do with all that evil that your predecessors did. It’s not you!
