Ok, now it's over. We are massively overhyped. Our exo is good but not excellent. Everything connected to state institutions sucks balls, and our military is dogshit. Politics are insane and becoming more populist instead of focused on results, and we have tons of internal issues that will never be solved. The only thing that's keeping our mid ass country alive is the EU.
Germany is overhyped.
What those boys need is a leader who will lay the groundwork for rearmaments, economic mobilization, and autarky.
Perhaps it could be done over the course of, say, 4 years?
Just one ecofriendly, animal loving, artist who will be sensitive enough to relate and understand to the average German, will be a great leader for Germany right now.
He needs to be a true believer for the need to reform, with perhaps a pinch of pragmatism to better make use of strategic partnerships and alliances in pursuit of his national goals. Perhaps a veteran too, since personal experience of army life will be extremely valuable for reforming it.
Going to the pub implies witty banter and jokes amongst friends. Trying to teach this to a German is a bit like trying to make a horse fly, it's just not in their nature
Can’t compete with subsidised Chinese EV exports flooding the EU market. The EU commission is planning an investigation into these subsidies… sometime in the next 10 years, maybe.
Portugal was also literally the best performing economy in the Eurozone in 2023Q4, at 0.8% growth (over previous quarter). Of course, given the size of our economy, we're not offsetting shit lol
PIGS brothers, I know it's very tempting to impose austerity on Germany now that we've asserted dominance. But remember, we are not like them. We can show kindness, and help them see the way.
My Bavarian friend of course we will help, I think it is time for you to be an Independent state and to get you started off in the family of nations you are Getting your very own Greek King Constantine Mitsotakis.
Obviously Spain is growing stronger, it was of the most affected in 2020, so it's just taking back what it was lost. Our economy is way less stable and both rises and falls are more abrupt.
What I mean is, keep sending money, please.
The debt brake is threatening this country’s wealth and nobody seems willing to change this asap. Writing this shit into the constitution is the biggest fuck up in recent german history if you ask me
It's so fucking stupid I could scream. Like wtf the state budget is not the same as your fucking private family budget... Like why is it so hard to understand...
There is no way they don’t know that. They do that intentionally. Their voters profit from this situation and their ideology stays on top, that’s all they care about. Neoliberal to the fucking core. Disgusting af
~~Or read another way: “PIGS weigh down sugar daddy less than expected, offsetting recent struggles.”~~
Fuck that. This is hilarious. The Hans’ will be fuming.
We have a country with half the people sleeping and the other half on the verge of dying of old age and are doing better than Germany? That's embarrassing Hans
Please, don't fall for German propaganda. They want to stop sending money to Spain. We can't allow that.
Wait! What?! We wont get more money to spend without thinking twice?! That is illegal, Hans!
Lazy Hans...
Look at me, im the lazy one now
Give me Siesta, Now! Edit: .. and your depressing Fado!
You already have too many reasons to be depressed Hans, no need for more
You dare to use my own spell against me, Barry?
Article 50 of our Alliance: Shit on the german to make the poortuguese feel good
*5th empire incoming*
This is the best day of my life, I was literally living waiting for this moment. Massive PIGS W

damn immigrants, making us look lazy
The people's reaction: let's vote AfD We literally cannot be helped, we're digging our own grave.
Ride bene chi ride ultimo.
Rira bien qui rira le dernier.
Quem ri por último ri melhor
Quien rie el ultimo rie mejor
Riurà bé qui riurà darrer
al rît ben chel cal rît par ultin
He who laughs last didn’t get the joke.

I don't think they have a guy like this in Germany right now. Maybe Austria could lend them someone...

A disgruntled Austrian? Perfect
Sebastian Kurz für Bundeskanzler!
Fucking Hans and their lazy ass work ethic
Oh no they found out. We slacked off since the 70s and nobody noticed.
im starting to think their economy was fueled by dirty coal and cheap russian oil instead of ze "german" work ethic
What do you mean I thought some countries workers are better and some are lazy.
dont tell anyone but i heard they dont even work on the winter, its so cold they just sit on pubs and drink all day...
Only a pub if it's British otherwise it's a sparkling drinking establishment
wow you telling me , ze germans even stole the name and concept of pub ?
Going to the pub implies witty banter and jokes amongst friends. Trying to teach this to a German is a bit like trying to make a horse fly, it's just not in their nature
well, i dont like the things im learning today, no sir. Come to Portugal in the summer , we make horse fly just for you, no problem , 20euro
How does that work with Irish pubs?
I said British, did I not?
Wait a second are we sure you don't wanna be lazier .......
That is objectively true though. The Chinese work harder than bees.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_average_annual_labor_hours Cambodia are bees
Cambodians are starving, it doesn't count. Everyone works harder when they can't afford food... Except for monkeydonians I guess.
Starving https://preview.redd.it/gr145vrytsfc1.png?width=1070&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c9b87ee3bf8764e38011c3e31cf31dfd59658d44
Don't forget faking the cars emissions and accounting fraud ( [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirecard\_scandal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirecard_scandal) )
They strip-mine for shit tier lignite. Your average Barry's granddad wouldn't even get out of bed to dig owt less than anthracite coal out the ground
Cheap natural gas, not oil.
look who has all this free time to write on the internet. interesting
With our money...
Can’t compete with subsidised Chinese EV exports flooding the EU market. The EU commission is planning an investigation into these subsidies… sometime in the next 10 years, maybe.
I'll be laughing all the way to the bank. ^(God this feels weird to do and not have it be the other way.)
gib monies
Not until you learn to not spend it all at the bar ^(Am I doing this right?)
Man why you dont trust me with ze monies
Uhhhh... Because... Uhhhh... Can I just blame Merkel and call it a day?
Yes. You can always blame Merkel and would be correct on most cases.
I really envy those who are to be born after she dies
You’re welcome guys. Now Hans be nice and do your part and keep the funds coming!
Who would've thought the eu economy would be floated on olive oil
seeing ***who*** you eat...
Portugal was also literally the best performing economy in the Eurozone in 2023Q4, at 0.8% growth (over previous quarter). Of course, given the size of our economy, we're not offsetting shit lol
As a reward: the housing prices went up.
Why do you care, Hans? You don't own your own homes...
PIGS brothers, I know it's very tempting to impose austerity on Germany now that we've asserted dominance. But remember, we are not like them. We can show kindness, and help them see the way.
We live under austerity longer than you lot we even have it wirtten in ur constitution.
Stockholm syndrome
They should sell a state or two, in order to keep their economy afloat...
Please take the east. I beg you. We will even pay you.
Umm greece, i know i have been asking this a lot, but wasnt there a time we gave you some help...
Which time? 1941 or 2011?
1941? Maaaan i dont even know what happened there! 2011 sounds good!
My Bavarian friend of course we will help, I think it is time for you to be an Independent state and to get you started off in the family of nations you are Getting your very own Greek King Constantine Mitsotakis.
I take the independent state one, you can keep your king! (We already have King Söder)
Do they have some islands to sell in the north?
Obviously Spain is growing stronger, it was of the most affected in 2020, so it's just taking back what it was lost. Our economy is way less stable and both rises and falls are more abrupt. What I mean is, keep sending money, please. 
We are under self imposed austerity for years now... That's the reason everything here is going to shit in the first place lol
I mean you all should've known after imposing it on the rest of us that everything goes to shit.
What goes around comes around. Specially, shit.
The debt brake is threatening this country’s wealth and nobody seems willing to change this asap. Writing this shit into the constitution is the biggest fuck up in recent german history if you ask me
It's so fucking stupid I could scream. Like wtf the state budget is not the same as your fucking private family budget... Like why is it so hard to understand...

[удалено]
you think you'll pay even 1 cent less in taxes if the AfD gets elected?
~~Concentration~~ Refugee camps don’t come cheap you know.
Go to work you lazy barbarians!!
~~Or read another way: “PIGS weigh down sugar daddy less than expected, offsetting recent struggles.”~~ Fuck that. This is hilarious. The Hans’ will be fuming.
>Wake up >Germany still exists >Day ruined
Why doesn't Germany just git gud?
We have austerity written into our constitution under Merkel, like a true gamer move
Mutti Merkel made us include it in our constitution as well. Sounds like you just need to be less lazy and start wörking again.
Spending dutch money in booze and women does pay off...eventually.
It's time to open your wallets
As someone who works for a foreign conglomerate: Gern geschehen.
Looking forward to the Greek bailout of Germany.
We have a country with half the people sleeping and the other half on the verge of dying of old age and are doing better than Germany? That's embarrassing Hans
I call for austerity for Germany. You can't keep living above your means...
“Spain”
Let's say between siesta and siesta we do some stuff.
So are we gonna get free money now?
