Gold?i figured its yellow
So it's okay to be waving the Palestinian flag at all times but not a the national flag of your own country?<br>What's all this nonsense?
Germans still have a lot of self-hatred, and the state teaches it that way.<br>There are even left-wing extremist groups (some of them politicians) who openly advocate the idea of dropping bombs on Germany.
People, as a German i can say, it’s our decision first of all, secondly, it’s not like we suffer a lot by not waving our flag😂<br>I’m not sitting at home crying about my choice of nationality.<br>But since we are at that topic…<br>Since we have that biased relationship to our flag i asked myself a long time ago: what is great about national pride. And i didn’t get behind the concept. For me it means you automatically put yourself on a higher position than others with achievements. And why is that good? It should be irrelevant. We should try to be more equal to another and not get into national competition?!<br>Maybe also, someone can tell me reasons why Germany should be proud of itself which are not materialistic (and please no cars and soccer)
Isn't it ironic that when someone claims to be a nationalist, others immediately label them as belonging to AFD party? Has nationalism become the exclusive identity of one particular party?
What's wrong with Dw... it's basically a far right thing 😑😑😑 stop using ur flag use Palestine flag😑😑
A waving white surrender flag is in order.
Who owns Merz & his devastating policies.
The journalist is brilliant! Thank you!
There was a time when Germany was a country every other European country aspired to. Discipline, Enviromentally Conscious, Quality Products and Services, Punctual Transport Systems, and decades of Strong Economic Growth. The Germans were proud of their country and of their government. Pride was in everything the people did and they were confident because of their country's status in Europe and in Asia. However, over the past 30 years political wrangling set in and everything started to go down-hill. The pride is gone. The government is not helping any. Everything is focused on Ukraine. The people have been let down. They have nothing to defend for.
We are economical. We don’t fly a flag until there’s a chance for or we have reached World domination. The latter may be a few thousand years down the road. The former might always be the case during Soccer Championships, that’s why you see it then. For anything else it stays in the closet.
Wonder if Alice will let her little moustache grow once she becomes chancellor
Why don't you change the flag if you have a problem with that? Replace it with pride flag or something 😅
AFDFar right?<br>lmao<br>they are center left if anything
A quote from "The Kangaroo Chronicles": "In my view, there is no such thing as healthy patriotism," says the kangaroo. "Quite the contrary. Patriotism always seems to be a sign of idiocy."... "So, there is only unhealthy patriotism," the kangaroo continues. "To me, 'healthy patriotism' sounds a bit like 'benign tumor'—it might not be immediately life-threatening, but it’s still a tumor."
Give it a whirl. Let your flag unfurl.
Ultimately we can't let our discomfort with overt patriotism overcome the need to defeat the far-right narrative that they alone love their country.
Patriotism is only another term for lack of information.
Surely the trick is, as soon as an ideology starts taking ownership of a nation's flag, everybody else starts waving the flag ... or is the problem there are many who find flag waving tasteless in the most basic sense ... or is flag waving signaling self oppression.
德国人两次挑战世界秩序，但都输了，给世界带来巨大伤害。美国从英国手里夺取权力的方式更加温和，成熟。
It's perceived negatively, as most people don't understand the difference between patriotism and nationalism. <br><br>Germans perceive them as interchangeable, hence both create the same underlying tone in German society. <br><br>A simple case of overreaction due to lack of knowledge and education
Europe continental countries has for obstacle to peace talks rus vs ukr
Germans and Japanese should be allowed to wave their flags with no problem and full of pride.<br><br>napoleon conquered almost all of europe, and france's flag was already the tricolore at the time, so why aren't french ashamed of their flag?<br><br>what about the british that colonized half the world using the union jack? shouldn't they be ashamed of their flag?<br><br>what about americans that committed atrocities in vietnam? shouldn't they also feel ashamed of their stars and stripes?<br><br>if no, then Japan and Germany can also wave their flags with no problem. It's been almost 82 years.
한국인으로서, 독일의 현재 국기는 전쟁과 파괴, 정복을 위해 만든 깃발이 아니라<br><br>오히려 그런 행동을 애국이라고 포장하는 프로이센 왕조에 대항하기 위해 만든 것으로 알고 있습니다.<br><br>마음껏 흔드셔도 됩니다. 유대인에게 사죄하고 , 폴란드와 체코와 네덜란드와 덴마크를 존중하면서 말이죠.<br><br>오히려 현재의 독일 깃발이 다른 깃발로 바뀔 때를 더 두려워해야 합니다.<br>절대로 꺾인 십자가, 노란색 대신 흰색이 들어간 깃발, 그리고 붉은 색으로 된 깃발을 용납하지 마십시오.<br>지금의 국기를 흔들면서 붉은 세력, 검은세력과 맞서 싸우십시오.
Soaked in blood.
I prefer the German flag over Palestinian flag in Germany...
don't let the foreign-sponsored far-right appropriate national symbols. they are actually the least patriotic ones because they represent Russian and American interests. if afd wave the national flag, opponents should wave it too. it represents the country and its people. nothing wrong with it.
Germans have been brainwashed big time
Gearmany! Gearmany! Gearmany! ...
It’s kind of sad that Germans can’t fly their flags as it is part of their heritage. I just hope it’s not misused by the wrong people.<br><br>Though I can’t say the same thing for the US flag. In fact, I don’t fly or wear the US flag. It’s a long story.
Even as naturalized German I feel humiliating that we are not allowed socially to be proud German why not fly the flag high this flag was the goal to naturalize why not be proud of it
I've lived in Germany for more than a decade, and I still find it astonishing how little visible national pride there seems to be. You would think displaying a German flag in your front yard, hanging one from your balcony, or putting one in your window was some kind of national taboo! In America, people proudly fly their flag everywhere, but in Germany, you'd almost think people were afraid someone might mistake them for being patriotic. It's such a striking cultural difference!
Because radical leftists like the DWjazeera team have demonized it ;)
If liberal don't claim the flags of liberal countries; conservatives, nationalists and authoritarians will.
Who cares what some leftists think? They have a birth rate of 0.74 its irrelevant
Pride is often the enemy of humility. <br>The only flag that would be worth defending is the "red flag". Not the Chinese one or any other nations' flag...no disrespect. 🙏<br>Edit. There's a thin line between nationalim and patriotism but then again we can't sincerely pretend to be objective in our biased world...
Yah, next come the arm bend.
Because germans know what nationalism leads to. Pretty simple.<br>Being proud of your nation also is an expression of an inner void and miserable existence. Not realizing how random and unfair privileges are.
Wtf is wrong with you guys. So you are fine waving absolutely any other countries flags but can't wave German flag? What next, start hating your language and yourself because you are German? <br>If you start digging deep into the history, every country has something not to be proud of. So instead of hating it, hold that flag with pride and work towards what you want your country to represent.
He lived in England too long.
As a foreign living in Germany for 8 years (already with citizenship), I find it sad that Germans feel so bad about feeling proud of their own country. This country and its flag are awesome and beautiful!
80 years of brainwashing to hate yourself
Just wave GDR Flag At this point😂
Part of the German empire, which is failing
There was a time in history when Germans proudly waved their flags. <br><br>Nobody was happy about it.
It's funny we have same issue in Japan<br>We lost, that's Why
Patrioten gegen Faschisten<br>Weil man im Geschichtsunterricht aufpasst, wenn es um die Heimat geht!
Unlike America, waving flags is considered a bit dim in Europe.
A nations flag is a.. national symbol.. but if being nationalistic is bad, the flag becomes bad.
The owner of German flag are the second Adam is Jesus Christ PALESTINE 🇵🇸 🗝️ nation cuz is the savior of the first Adam 🇵🇭 ✝️<br>🇵🇸 Second Adam 🗝️🗽⚒️first Adam 🇵🇭✡️
This German Flag 🇩🇪 was used during European Revolution of 1848.
German patriotism caused 2 world wars.
Guilt complex is destroying Germany. There is nothing wrong raising your own flag. Indians always raise their own flag
Klopp is right on point.Being proud of our flags without being far right, just right.
