The 2024 GQP Thread: Because Deutsche Gopher Fan ENDED the Last One

Deutsche Gopher Fan said:
when I was back home in Berlin last month, I went to all my old neighborhoods. One of the more famous synagogues was near my school and I had to walk by it every day. It was rocked during Kristallnacht, of course. And to this day, still, armed guards with machine guns have to guard 24/7.

How long were you in Germany and why? Tell us all about it. Please. I would be fascinated.

Piers also got him to admit he is the product of the same intermarriage he proports to hate. Fuentes is such a lightweight...

Kep,

He has a following because there is a lot of losers out there like him who have never seen a woman naked, never touched another human being with consent and have zero idea how to act in civilized society. He is literally broadcasting from his basement...when he isn't broadcasting from his Mom's basement.

I....can't tell if you are serious.

I decided to visit friends and family for a number of weeks because frankly, it seemed better than offing myself. There are no jobs, and I've hit two years not working, and seeing my fields more decimated every single hour.

So I left for a while, enjoyed public transportation, societies who care about people other than themselves, and some very damn fine food with my michelin chef relative. I spent the last week in Berlin, remembering what it was like to be a naive 21 year old when I first moved there for school. Seeing all my old haunts, meeting my friends kids, and forgetting how bad life in the US has been for me lately.

I think he was asking about your original time in Germany. Which as someone that has also lived abroad for years I would find interesting.

This is very interesting. I did mean your original time but it's OK, I am already being way too needy.

Please do not off yourself.

Where did you live? I feel like I should know that. England? Pacific Rim? I know we have people who go to the Philippines and Thailand. I always wanted to try living abroad but had no interest in the Anglosphere and lacked the courage for a non-English environment. One of countably few regrets.

oh. ha.

I lived there for a year during university. Got to see some interesting things - the Deutschmark to Euro transition, 9/11, George W visiting the city and seeing my first "oh shit, run" protest with turks burning flags and effigies, meeting some former Stasi who scared the absolute shit out of me, while also making me feel incredibly sad and empty. It was my first time being out of the US and turned me from someone who had no political bent to ....what I am now.
I went Humboldt, so walked over the famous Hitler book burning square every day.

Wow. That's... a lot.

The transformation of German academia was not a slow drift but a swift and systemic overhaul. But what made Hitler’s orders stick was the eagerness of many academic leaders to comply, justify and normalize the new order. Each decision – each erased name, each revised syllabus, each closed program and department – was framed as necessary, even patriotic. Within a few years, German universities no longer served knowledge – they served power.

It was a lot. It's why the city feels so much like home to me, but also such a symbol of change and pain. I spent a lot of time revisiting the museums - Topographie of Terror, Stasi, Jewish. They put their shame out there, spelled out in multiple languages so it can't be mistranslated. No place on earth like it for me.
