(As a German) I think lot's of Germans feel global already. But I suspect it's limited to a certain demographic, namely young people with academic background. I don't know about the rest but recently it feels like more people just want to keep to themselves (especially with all the immigrants coming into our country).
- alphydan 10y ago> all the immigrants coming into our country When sorted by % of population that is composed of immigrants, Germany does not have much immigration (it's country # sixty-something in the list) [0]) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_immigrant_population https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_immigrant...
- ZoF 10y agoYes, sorting that way does show that currently Germany doesn't have the largest immigrant population, but that is changing quickly. Today Germany is the second most popular migration destination in the world, after the United States[0] Not commenting on whether that's a good or bad thing(I feel it's pretty neutral), just pointing out that the parent commenter saying "all the immigrants coming into our country" isn't making a crazy statement.

- maufl 10y agoYes, that's certainly true. And we always had waves of immigrants, it's nothing new. However, I think right now many perceive it as a large amount of immigrants that come quickly, maybe because of media coverage.
