Steampunk or Nazi?

Sorry, I don't understand the question.

The old guy filling in time by posting strange meaningless songs to marching nazis. Did he become a Steampunk or nazi (he's wearing a funny hat).

If it's meaningless, then why do you find it remarkable?

 

[Ahlevah]

Oh, and, for the record, I'm not a Nazi or a "Steampunk." But I do think the tune is catchy. I like a lot of German martial music--and British and American as well. But then I also like NWA and Tupac. :shrug:

Ummm... duh? Because it's set to nazis? You noticed that, right? Wtf.

It's meaningless because it's set to Nazis? Um, no. It isn't meaningless, because it emphasizes the point that if the United States hadn't helped the British defeat Nazism we'd be looking at a different world today. Certainly France would be different.

Wow, I never thought about that!



What, do you think we're some kind of idiots?

I'm going to plead the 5th on that.

France has its name from the German tribe "Franken" - "England" has its name from the German tribe "Angeln". Do they speak Gernan?

middle English was German and England was made up of 2 Germanic tribes the Angles to the south and the Saxons to the north hence the term anglo-saxon

Let's explain it all in a nutshell, easy enough Pennsylvania fake Dutch. Yup, that's what it is. Exactly eastern fake Pennsylvanian Dutch. Those people today believe they are Germanic. Hogwash. Myth after myth after myth. In today's world of DNA samples, we can find no or minimal samples at best, of Anglo Saxon DNA samples in Merry old ole, unless you believe good ole Robert of Sherwood's Marianne was one of Charlemagne's Marianne's maids of Jerusalem, a temptress of Judaism. Another story for another day. Soooooo confusing. Pass the pickles. Wow. The value of a buckskin. Thus a dollar greenback every where. Confused? Pass the schmaltz.

Not to forget that the Normans (Vikings, who lived in France: they had conquered England in 1066) are also Germanics (Scandinavians). And also not to forget that the Germans came from the Celts - and are a mix with Celts (and Romans) too. The Germans of Switzerland are for example Celts (Helvetii). Indeed the expression "German" never had a lot to do with a national state.

The Germans in Pennsylvannia came in 1683 from Krefeld, since 1709 also Palatinates seddled in Pennsylvania, this stopped with the French revolution. 500 of this Palatinates were "Amish". The Amish are typical Germans. They do what the they do on reason they are doing what they are doing. Pennsylvania dutch is German. "dutch" = "deitsch" = "deutsch" = "german"; you use this word normally only for the people of the Netherlands, who are "from German blood" too (they sing so in their national anthem).

DNA is relatively uninteresting for everything what has to do with Germans. Germans are a mix of Romans (mediterranian area), Celts (Euro-Asian area) and Germancis (North and MiddlEuropeans). In the middle of Italy for example the DNA is in average very near to the DNA of the people, who live in Germany. No one thinks the people in the middle of Italy are Germans.

I understand by the way very good Pennsylvania dutch. Nothing is a fake in this language. It's a perfectly intuitive form of German ("dutch", "deitsch").





Donald Trump: "USA first" (="I first")

Amish: "Jesus first - family and friends second - I third"

J.F. Kennedy: "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.
My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."

Just like a politician, asking you to fill his pockets.
