I immigrated from Austria to Germany, and don't regret it. Both are very nice countries.
I also lived in the US for a while, which was extremely interesting as historic lesson, to observe how my grandparents lived in cruel times.
- yostrovs 4y agoMoving from one German country to another is not immigration. It's probably less of a change than moving from Nebraska to Texas. The xenophobic quip just confirms why it would have been difficult for you to live in more diverse places.
- david-gpu 4y agoA little empathy goes a long way. Maybe there are more differences between Germany and Austria than meets the eye. As for their grandparents, there is nothing easy about growing up in the epicenter of massive global conflict, particularly when you are on the losing side. I'm thankful I did not have to experience war like my grandparents did, and they were on the "winning" side.
- Engineering-MD 4y agoThe implication is life in the US now is the same as their grandparents had in cruel times. It appears to be an indirect insult at US quality of life. Or at least that’s how I read it.
- pilotneko 4y agoAustria is less Germanic than you think.
- em-bee 4y agofrom my own experience, austria is more germanic than many austrians would like to believe.
- otterley 4y ago> I also lived in the US for a while...to observe how my grandparents lived in cruel times. What is that supposed to mean? It comes across as an insult.
