Well Germans contributed a lot to philosophy, music, science and engineering. Never saw the point of nationalism though. Probably because I grew up with an awareness of the evils of "group think" and the mob mentality. Sadly nazis is all we ever seem to be remembered for.
Reminds me of a joke though.
Q. What's Austria's greatest accomplishment?
A. Convincing the world that Hitler was German and that Mozart was from Vienna.
As for celebrating my heritage I am such a mutt that it gets hard. I have a kilt for the Scottish festivals, no way am I wearing liederhosen, and I am a pacifist so I got the french thing covered.
err, nope, el cinco de mayo no me dice nada, quizá porque soy español, aquí celebramos otras cosas ;) in any case congrats for the interest in our culture, don't let anybody tell you is a bad thing, look to the future, look to the past, enjoy the present as much as you can, we live in the freaking XXI century, and yes we spent most of that time buchering each other but it dosn't change the here and now, cheers, now go get some burritos and enjoy the party, un saludo o/
Seeing that you have exhausted your spanish, I'll write the answer to your question in Spanish!
No tengo planes de celebrar el jodido cinco de mayo, no se celebra en pinche México, no veo por que madres lo voy a celebrar en EU. ¿De qué sirve conmemorar una batalla ganada de una guerra perdida? Dos años después del suceso, en 1864 los condenados conservadores Mexicanos le entregaron la república a pinche Maximiliano! Un titere de la corona Francesa!
I thought about dressing up as Emperor Maximillian, bonde muttonchops and all, and going for lunch at my favorite Mexican restaurant to see if the guys (staff) would laugh, but I didn't have time to get the costume together. Maybe next year.
i like to celebrate my peoples liberation from the evil Decepticons. we gather around the last remaining energy cube and chant the sacred hymn of our ancestors.. ROBOTS IN DISGUISE!! chechk chechk chechk chuchk!
Stopping the winds completely from blowing over the four corners of the earth is what I'm aiming for but it might take a little longer to get'r done...
It should help contain the growing beast of an oil slick about to kill off every known creature in the entire Atlantic ocean..
@sardonicskeptic5 wtf ..you live in a country full of french. welsh.Irish and scots ..who did most of the bleeding for freedom I may add..just read the names on the tombs stones...while the Englushes were smoking cigars and spreading small pox blankets...fuck saint George..and the church of England : )
@AmericanResponses Yea except we've had a french separatist movement that's been bleeding the country dry for generations now. Fuck Quebec. Oh and multiple members of my family served in the Canadian Armed forces. We pay our way.
@sardonicskeptic5 No...not at all I just know royal shit when I see it ...hear it.. or smell it...and I have had Canadian family myself who served from Vimy ,Dieppe,and Normandy ..not French or English.. but I guess they don't English count in English logic...The English owe the world a bigger apology then the French ...that is a a fact of history ! So you are not Canadian after all but English otherwise you would know that!!! Now bend down and kiss the queens ass like a good loyalist ; )
@AmericanResponses@sardonicskeptic5 There's irony for you: a video about celebrating redeeming qualities of heritage and qualming over a playful joke.
@AmericanResponses I'm sorry... why the hell does England owe the world an apology? For bringing English ideas of liberty, accountable government and individualism to the world? (and yes, that means America too. The American revolutionaries were just radicalized Englishmen.) Also I have family that were loyalists. I honestly don't know how I would have responded in 1775.
@sardonicskeptic5 wtf ...It was the French revolution that gave birth to the American revolution & freedom over what royal families in Europe would not give.
Perhaps you can explain the English blocked of Biafrai in 1970 that resulted in the starvation of a million people mostly women and children A well used English tactic from the starving the Irish ( more ships full of good left Ireland for England full of food while the Irish starved) ..to causing the biggest famine in India's history?
@AmericanResponses What the fuck are you talking about!? The American revolution predated the French revolution by decades! That and the French revolution could only be described as fascist. Why the hell do you think "the terror" happened? why do you think they wound up with Napoleon? Also are you drunk or something? Your grammar is way out of whack.
@sardonicskeptic5 Oh you don't like my English ...perhaps you would like to continue it in my first language ... hdepa sunka! no... can't speak another tongue ...what an English fault so typical.. Funny Napoleonic laws still exist today because they are just He was only out matched in terror by the English royal family and those of Europe ..WW1 thank you for that you blue bloods
@sardonicskeptic5 Sorry snowflake I live in free country I can .... all I want . : )..Got anything to say about Biafria or all the other famines caused by your "royal sun never sets on the queens ass empire"? And Wikipedia real .I maybe drunk and regret this in the morning but your source is Wikipedia lol
@AmericanResponses No I was suggesting you at least look something up. Seriously, the French revolution is best described as fascist. anywho, I've started drunk fights myself so I'll wait until the morning to hear your response. Booze 4 the win!
@sardonicskeptic5 In what way was the French revolution fascist ? It was the victory for the enlightment. It brought secularism rights, and modern citizenship and the bases for change . And the bases for what would be the American revolution. And the liberation of Europe. Deryk England represented the old opressive monarchy that also the Americans revolted against.
Also the old Greek and Roman ideas where both inportant in the American and French relvolution :)
@Eopyk Yea it brought COLLECTIVE rights. The "secularism" you're talking about was the replacement of the God with the state. And then lo and behold the Revolutionaries went on a mad execution spree of anyone with marginally different political views then the regime, and then, Quelle supriese, they wound up with a dictator. If that's "enlightenment" count me out.
@sardonicskeptic5 well it was a bases for future possetive devolopment it brought at fist revolutionary mania in the entire Europe when the result of the revolution did not end as wished that mania gott toned down . But the ideals did not it was seen at the liberal revolution and it's effect on Europe and the power of the monarchs and churches cannot be denied. And remember Robespierre was himself executed in the end as well. Or do you see the French revolution only as negative ?
@Eopyk@Eopyk Yea, I know! Tyranny is always whimsical! And that was exactly my point, the American revolution succeeded largely because it was individualistic and rights based i.e.e conservative. The french revolution turned into a bloodbath because it was totalitarian, and statist, i.e. fascist. It's honestly hard to tell whether it had some positive effects or not. Europe wasn't exactly known for non-totalitarian regimes before then.
@sardonicskeptic5 But yea, considering the "ideas" spread by the french revolution, it's not hard to see how Europe wound up with Hitler Stalin and Mussolini a hundred or so years later.
@sardonicskeptic5 Not those ideas :P But rather the ideas of liberty, equality , brotherhood :) The ideas of Voltaire and enlightment philosophers that inspired people to oppose to rulling system.
It is not the Regin of Terror or those ideas that are the bases of the French of revolution nor is it Robespierre.
and the dictatorship of the proletarian they saw the French revolution as the capitalist revolution because it started less regulation for the market men but in turn one got a new class structure of workers and capitalists instead of lords/kings/priest VS commons.
The fascists fought for nationalism and by will a totallitarian goverment. Where the intelect have no meaning and strongests victory was all that matterd.
@sardonicskeptic5 Well the French revolution gave market men less regulation from church controll etc . It gave revolutionary mania in Europe and people started to demand more rights from the totalitarian regimes in regard of religious freedom etc It inspired many people . That is it opend the way to a modern Europe with victory of many ideals that lives on today despite the chaos that came after it with the Regin of Terror.
@sardonicskeptic5 but anyway you do have a point Deryk but I do not think one should view the French revolt as black and white :) I know your proud of you Anglo-Saxon and Scottish roots and that may give you a little extra heat against France that might lead to a more negative outlook.
@sardonicskeptic5 Well at the time conservative meant people who where reactionary and did not want revolution and did not want seperation of religion and politics and wanted to protect the monarchy. That is how left and right devolopt . The left wanted change the right did not they wanted to preserve tradition and if something was supposed to change it needed to be done with respect of traditions and be done slowly.
@sardonicskeptic5 Oh sorry Deryk damn it I gott a year fucked up. American did come first. How ever I would still argue that Roman and Greek ideas that where revived in englightment where the bases for both of thsoe revolutions.
Well Germans contributed a lot to philosophy, music, science and engineering. Never saw the point of nationalism though. Probably because I grew up with an awareness of the evils of "group think" and the mob mentality. Sadly nazis is all we ever seem to be remembered for.
