@ZDL@mstdn.social @ZDL@gamerplus.org I am sorry, but I ultimately have to disagree with your perspective here.It is up to the people of a certain culture how to celebrate their history. And I have traveled all across Germany, and everywhere I have found examples of Germans celebrating and preserving their history - by preserving old buildings, establishing museums, giving guided tours, recreating old crafts, or should putting up some explanatory signs at historically significant locations. This is the work of thousands of non-government associations and innumerable volunteers.And that kind of appreciation of history is just as valid as wearing clothing styles of past centuries or reciting old poems.

@Ardeija And that's just _one_ of the many dodgy hot takes from German folklore, alongside such classics as:- "If you use magic to lessen the pain of child birth, your child will become a night hag!"- "If a more powerful woman wants to sleep with your husband, it's best to act like a complete doormat!"and- "It's easy to weasel out of a deal with the Devil with no consequences!"
