Government report estimates 28,000 of Alternative for Germany's 70,000 members have potential for right-wing extremism, as far-right party outstrips chancellor's in national polls
someone makes a joke about germans not having a sense of humor and you claim Germanity responding this way, i’m not sure if you’re part of the joke or being joked about dude.
the most important part of humor is being able to laugh at yourself (it’s where the best jokes come from). Germans not having a sense of humor is low hanging fruit, but like if you don’t want to be treated like a stereotype you can’t act like a stereotype.
Laughing at yourself as an individual, yes. Laughing at yourself as a person that belongs to a group like nationality, race, sexual orientation, no. Nobody should have to care about whether they fit someone else’s negative stereotype just because of their assumed nationality, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity.
I don’t like it when people throw stereotypes around whenever they get the opportunity. You sound like you internalized the stereotype and find it funny
A friend had his American friend come to visit him last year and they had me over to chill.
At some point he told a joke that didn’t land and excused himself over nothing. So I said, completly straight faced, “Oh, I’m sorry, that was really funny, this is just how we laugh around here”.
It was probably funnier in the moment, but the next ten minutes was me trying to keep a straight face while he was trying to get me to laugh. We were both in on the joke and it was hysterical.
Like, this is by all means a dumb stereotype. But it’s pretty harmless. And if you laugh at it, it literally disproves itself.
Yes, Germany bad.
The implication was that Germans don’t have any sense of humor. It seems that you’ve done nothing to disillusion us of that trope.
Yes Germany bad. The implication is that you’re peddling negative stereotypes.
Your complete lack of capacity for self-reflection is impressive.
I think the same of you.

Please stop with the prejudice, that’s all I’m asking you.

Nein, der Witz ist, dass Deutsche keinen Humor hätten. Das ist aber nur trizen und nicht ernst gemeint.
In dem Fall ist’s fast noch witziger, weil du den Witz erst genommen hast. Nimm das nicht übel. ^^

Oh the irony
