Is it just me or is there something really horribly depressing about this country? The more I visited Germany, the more I spoke with Germans (especially of lower class) the more I get this feeling.
I grew up with this myth of this superefficient European country where everything works, but it seems there is something really wrong underneath. I cannot explain it in a very rational way tho, it's just a very unpleasant feeling, and MAYBE I'd feel the same about other culturally similar countries if I knew them more, I don't know.
No hate nor grudge in my words, i just feel sad for them.

It indeed sucks here except for a few spots and the countryside. It also pretty much sucks to be german in general. But there are happy people here too.

Souless protestant work ethic kills them inside

>neither killing machines nor always perfect machines but human beings with problems themselves Wow, this is deep.
Alexander Edwards
Whatever the country, when you speak to a member of a lower class, you'll get that feeling. Its like that everywhere
Ayden Lopez
That's because they don't feel proud of their country anymore.
Ayden Robinson
The Dutch lower class is pretty fun.
Except Muslims.

I think every German feels that dark clouds are on the horizon. this is a sinking ship
>The engine's running but there's nobody at the wheel.
Germany is like a 5er BMW with a monkey as a chauffeur

Mason Jackson
I don't get that feeling here and I'm as working class as they come. I'm quite happy, the only people who can't say the same are 40+ year old alcoholics who drink their benefits away.
Jordan Johnson
You need fascism desu.
Christian Morris
This is the impression I got as well, although perhaps it's because I only visited Berlin. A lot of the Germans there (not the immigrants) seemed to kind of hate themselves. It was kind of sad.

they have destroyed our temple and killed our god
