That's the meme. They translate English expressions, names and brands into German 1:1, disregarding any standing idioms and available translations. Hard to read even as a German native. Struggling to figure out what to OP meant is like 90% of the fun.

Haha, I remember trying to tell a German colleague that another colleague was ‘ingverklerten’ because he had red hair, apparently the German word for ginger is not used to represent colour. Almost as popular as our attempt to call someone a ‘glockenende’ when they had been foolish. Sounds like I should look into ich_iel a bit.

I studied German in high school and then as an adult I traveled to India and studied Malayalam, the language of the southern-most state of Kerala. I was surprised at how similar Malayalam was to German (in terms of grammatical structure, not vocabulary) and learned that it's because of Hermann Gundert, a 19th Century German missionary who learned Malayalam (and a bunch of other Indian languages) and published its first formal grammar, more-or-less imposing German's grammatical structure onto it.

The notion of national character might also be deceptive regarding its practicality, specifically to understand culture. Sincerly, practical german

The most populated region at war times was West Germany. It was governed by France after war.

I have no idea if this is actually the reason but we are incredibly thankful for restoring our country by our french friends - which we harassed and killed beforehand.

They still got up to the job.

You don't miss that much. They are trying to do edgy dank memes in german. The "culture" they represent is quite white and cleasend from migrant humor.

Its the german version of these alt right pepe memes.

Seriously, you missed nothing.

How is it "cleasend"? Did you mean "cleansed"?

I mean the community is very male and white dominated but not excluding anyone. And more self referential than edgy. What even makes it edgy??

I'm still not sure what exactly you mean but I would love to see immigrant culture on ich_iel and I think most others do too! It's not that the community is hostile or anything and people who don't speak German or things explained when they ask.

How could the community be more inclusive? What would you suggest? Or where do you see active hostility?

They are hostile. There are anti migrant dog whistles all over the sub and a lot more on reddit.

German discrimination is always very "under the hood" and highly sophisticated. You cant be "right and proud" due to the holocaust.

The reality is that the second strongest party has roots to the old NSDAP.

Yes thats about 14% of the population ehich are living mostly in cities and usually in blocks with very high percentage of immigrants and very little exchange. I would see it more as living on the same turf than living together... No shared culture emerges from that

Also stop pushing people into categories because you dont like their opinions

Yeah those stupid migrants risked EVERYTHING to come here and live and ghetto's and push weed.

Reality is, they arent allowed to work, and even if they have a job, only german last names get flats in german neighborhoods. And there is actual law which allows racism in that regard. Systematic rasicm is woven with old German racial thinking.

The boxes are fine. You and iel fit well in the neo-nazi box :)

I had a chat with them yesterday using google translate and apparently they think "From the river to the sea" is problematic. Not sure why, but it's probably their government lying to them and saying Palestine is an ethnostate.

Its problematic because its the Hamas slogan and rejects the existence of israel.

I reject the existence of Israel too. Before Israel, Jews and Arabs lived in peace in Palestine. But Britain invaded, created Israel, and cut Palestine in half. From the river to the sea, Arab Palestinians must be free to walk hand in hand with their Jewish siblings. Not imprisoned behind Israeli walls, forced out of their homes, and bombed in the name of stopping a Hamas government that Israel themselves helped gain power. Hamas is Israel's fault, not the fault of the innocent children in Gaza. Israel is responsible for the attacks against Jews in Israel and in the rest of the world. Because Israel has told the world that Jews are evil colonisers and their existence must be paid for in innocent blood. This is a slanderous lie against the Jewish people! Down with Israel! Down with antisemitism! Down with genocide!

From the river to the sea has existed a lot longer than Hamas has in in power. A conservative government can't "claim" a half century old chant.

Australia's national animal is a kangaroo. If I draw a kangaroo on the canvas, does it mean I support the dictatorship of Australia? No, of course not. Because Australia doesn't get to own the idea of kangaroos. And Hamas doesn't get to own this chant. This chant is a lot less tied to the views of a conservative government than the German flag it's drawn on.
