It doesn't really matter. Germans are better at industrialism. Brits can make a lot of money from entertainment business. Everybody likes their humor.

The U.K. could wipe Germany off the face of the Earth if they so chose

*nglos are subhumans

nukes are pretty influential seeing how you guys quiver in fear whenever those Korean nutters throw a few missiles over you

Because UK is becoming brown and 3rd world.

And Germany isn't?

Because Rhine Capitalism/social market economy is superior to self-destructive Anglo-saxon Corporatism.

That's why we are going to see decline of the anglophone world political system as a "role model" for most minor countries in the immediate future.

Once a country becomes powerful and has a different model, said models become prevalent because other countries try to copy or adapt parts of that system.
The British and Americans did dominate during the 20th century. Still, most European countries were inclined to copy the Scandinavian model. It turned out that the Scandinavian model did work in big countries with a small population, without cultural diversity, with a lot of resources and a lot of industries from the past. But as the Scandinavian model failed to adapt to the times, it started being changed from the inside. A lot of "capitalist" rules were enforced in countries like Sweden: pro-liberty reforms in education, health-care and many more.

It turns out that the anglo-american model is (or was) the best in order for a country to grow. But is it anymore? I don't think so.
Take a look at the successful anglo-speaking countries: the USA, a vast, enormours and rich on resources country. Canada? The same. Australia? The same. New Zealand? Not as rich, but 4 millions inhabitants for a country with nearly the size of the Japan (127 millions). What about the UK? Blessed with a special relationship with the Commonwealth allies (again a lot of resources), a special relationship with USA, a lot of former collonies (Hong-Kong until less than 15 years ago) and even oil in its own territory (Scotland).

Despite this, the UK ranks below France, and much lower than Germany in GDP.

WUZ

The success of the anglophone world can be traced to two important factors:
1) The value of free enterprise.
2) The big territory and resources. As I said, the UK does not have a big territory but has special relationship with anglo countries, a lot of colonies: Bermuda, Gibraltar, etc. which are fiscal paradise, the City of London (that controls all those fisca paradises and accoutns for a big part of the British GDP), resources like oil in Scotland, and had a big Empire until very recently.
Despite this, a country like Italy without resources and a more chill lifestyle and a less pro-work mindset are similar in GDP to Britain.

Italy has almost the same size and population of Britain, and doesn't have any natural resources nor did it have a big empire or special relationships with allies.

But that will not be the cause of the fall of the anglo model.

The anglo model is focused on high GDP grow. But GDP grow as the grow of the entire country. This means that if you get more population and said population has jobs, the GDP of the country will grow, but the average quality of life of the British (or other anglo country) citizen will not necessarily grow.

Anglophone countries like to criticize the stagnant state of countries like Japan or Germany. They don't grow much because it's population is stagnant too. This doesn't mean that the quality of life of said populations is not growing.

doesn't matter tbqh.
At least UK isn't hated by everyone

Britain is not perceived as a good place to emigrate to.
People would prefer to emigrate to countries like Germany or Japan. But English being the global language plays a factor. In a global sense, the anglo countries are less relevant.

Countries just don't want to copy the anglo model anymore. People are aware that anglo countries work because they are resource rich. Imagine the USA not having any oil in its soil. It's economy would suffer a lot. And not resource rich countries just don't want to copy that.

Another problem with the anglo model is that the pro-multicultural model, while understandable (Englishmen weren't the original owners of the land in the USA, Canada, Australia, NZ... and the UK was a global Empire until very recently) causes a lot of problems. Some big problems, but specially a lot of minor problems, of nuisances. The limitation of free speech is another big problem in the anglo model. You see censorship everywhere, even in the USA. The anglo countries are very hypocritical.

As I said, anglo countries like to think that they are great, but a country that looks "mediocre" to them as Italy is nearly in the same level of the UK. It surpasses it in indicators such as quality of life, lower crimerates, longevity, health, happiness of its citizens, etc.

Countries are picking the best of the system and ditching the rest. America is not the stellar country it was 20 years ago. It has a lot of overweight people, crime, stress... and countries like Australia or Canada grow because they are resource rich.

As Japan stabilizes, South Korea and Germany keep growing and the Euro countries implement new measures to boost productivity, the anglo model is less looked upon than ever. We don't want to copy that model anymore.

We are moving on from the anglo model.

Good riddance, I say.

Stop this autism you stupid kraut

You failed at taken over Europe twice last century. Don't make the same fucking mistakes, and kill millions of people again.

The Polish pap proxy doth protest too much, methinks.

Besides, again that's not even remotely true.

Don't make the same mistake of trying to stop us again. Phoenix is not only a city in Arizona.

someone seems a bit mad

>Phoenix is not only a city in Arizona.
What did he mean by this

That Germany will continue to rise from the ashes, you illiterate lardbrain.

>the butthurt

Not if frau Merkel and her million rapefugees have anything to say about it

Good analysis.

We once had to accept 15 times more refugees than now. That's a piece of cake.

Piotr please, The Brits aren't making the same thread every single day. You know that nobody would even bother replying if you didn't use your proxy. The only reason you use it is because despite whatever "Polish Pride" you think you have, you're still TOO ASHAMED TO USE YOUR OWN FUCKING FLAG. AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

There's no butthurt about it because people don't take your autistic posts seriously. We're all aware about how some brit has caused you some of your own butthurt in the past for calling you out on your previous spam campaigns.

You're not. You've never proven it and every time you've "spoken" japanese, the other japanese speakers on this board have called you out on your google translation crud.

Maybe try again when Germany's hate speech laws aren't horrifying

You are talking about the hate speech laws that were imposed by the US during America's occupation of Germany? You can't even say 'fuck' on American TV, lmao.

You've had like 60 fucking years! You can choose your own laws at this point ffs.

And there aren't laws against saying fuck, it's just basically every network has policies against it. Fuck won't get bleeped on Comedy Central for instance because they allow it.

>60 fucking years!
Germany wasn't remotely sovereign until the signing 2+4 treaties about 25 years ago and even until now we aren't a totally sovereign state since there are a whole bunch nebulous arragements created during our occupation in place.
