    We’re Germans also stupid? I mean everything out of Trump’s mouth is verifiably false. I could understand access to information being limited in 1930s post-war Germany, but seriously, he says prices are coming down and pretty much every news site that isn’t Fox would tell you otherwise.

      Germany was destitute and wanted change. They were starving. This party came along with a new theory, a group to hate at the right time.

      However. No one in Germany cast a vote for Adolf Hitler, they voted the Nazis and Hitler was appointed.

      So, nothing like the US which was doing fine and directly voted Trump twice. That was fucking stupid.

      We’re [sic] Germans also stupid?

      Yes, large groups of people are always stupid.

      It’s difficult to quantify stupidity and so it’s difficult to compare the stupidity of two different groups. It’s very likely that Nazis were stupider than MAGA in some ways and that MAGA people are stupider than Nazis in other ways.

        We have stupid names for groups of things like murder of crows. Aliens will probably it a morons of humans or something as a running joke.

      We do have easier access to information. Also, if you’ve ever worked on a German vehicle, you’ll know that they’re not all that.

          They’re just over-done at every stage for no reason at all. Stupid torx heads, shit that needs allen keys near the brakes of all places, torx bolts in super awkward places where a normal one would be easy to access with a wrench. BMW needing you to have a 16mm wrench for no reason while most wrench kits come in packs which don’t have it. I changed the oil my dad’s 1998 BMW and that thing had a plate which I thought would have a filter on it like my Ninja but instead it still had a canister style filter except it was inside the oil pan and you needed a special, thin-walled metal socket to get to it.

          There’s also my friend’s 2018 Jetta where none of the three rotors listed fit and the fourth option, from the previous year, almost did but I had to use those 1/8” thick, strong steel washers to space the caliper out(thank god it was exactly 3/8” off) or we’d have been totally screwed.

          Or the dogshit clutch feel, the ultra-long shifter throws, and the awkward ergonomics. My mom’s 2001 Golf had the problem where the climate controls were blocked if you were in third gear. My sister’s 2015 Golf was hugely uncomfortable for longer than a couple hours.

          I hate German vehicles so much. They make a lot of power and are cool enough on the face of it but there’s so much stuff that’s just bad. Meanwhile I’m excited to be doing the clutch on my 2015 BRZ tomorrow because it’s going to be wicked easy.

            They’re just over-done at every stage for no reason at all.

            Then reason is planned obsolescence and blocking self-repair.
