I'm tired of this capitalistic bs.

so true. remember y'all that Germany didn't even want the Euro.. it was made a condition by (ironically) France as part of the reunification treaties. grotesk. and now everyone blames germany for its existence.
Merkel did indeed do so much wrong.. but thank god welfare, health care and all other great things have long been established here. It's also really not Merkel who is running europe, it is the hard working german people.. without germany's money (towards the eu and individual countries) half of the eastern eu countries would still live like its 1989.
germany is the biggest economy in europe, which also includes being the biggest market, the biggest importer of goods.. so without us, good luck to sell your goods to china and co... europe would collapse like in 1945.
the country that first got back on its feet was the then partitioned and still occupied Germany.. which needed less money from the Marshall Plan than France and the UK... German is europes only powerhouse.. and is expected to be the only european country by 2050 to still rank among the 10 biggest economies in the world.
it has nothing to do with superiority.. that's not what i this is about, it is about the german's nature.. of being quite the underdog, a country that looks out for its own population as much as for its partners and neighbours. But due to its history it is very hard to always do the right thing, when basically everyone around us still despises us.. and only call when they want something. God forbid a german chancellor utters conditions for its help.. like reforms when you want to get money from us.
but that's a different story.
I heard some ppl say that it would be better for germany to send airplanes to pick the refugees up before they enter eu countries... yeah.. what a logical solution to send civilians to war zones. or even to send german military planes to hungary, turkey, greece or other countries.. they wont have it u know..
