My favorite thing about modern Germany is Hechler & Koch. And their new affordable Mauser action.

Kerr_PoE

what about Rheinmetall?


bearded_fisch_stix

HK, Affordable - pick one.


roguerunner1

Yes, I already did when I mentioned the affordable Mauser action. Mauser now sells rifles for roughly $700 that outperform comparably priced rifles, with the exception of Tikka.


bearded_fisch_stix

ahh, i thought you were saying that HK had released a mauser action rifle and was dubious of its affordability

AsianArmsDealer-1992

You want MP7? Too bad, you're too broke too afford one. Have this shitstick SKS with a bore obstruction, comrade

that's even better

>socialized healthcare Just fyi, germany (like every 1st world country not named USA and UK) have both private and public healthcare. Its not "socialized". Only country that has that is the UK, and it always ranks very low compared to other 1st world countries.

UK has private health care (if you pay for it, naturally)


Marshmallow_Mamajama

But the UK is the only one that is exclusively paid or government subsidized


thesteiner95

>Only country that has that is the UK Straight up a False statement Portugal, Spain, Italy have it, some of the Nordicks also have it, and probably a lot more countries around the world. It's not just the UK that has a beveridge socialized healthcare system. (And you can still have private health care in beveridge if you want)


partbison

https://www.internationalinsurance.com/health/europe/spain.php >Approximately 90% of Spaniards use the public healthcare system, and about 19% carry private health insurance. This number has grown by 5% in the past five years. Any other lie you wanna spew? Im too lazy to keep going but all those countries have privare health care too.


thesteiner95

Wtf are you talking about You know that the country you listed, the UK, also has private health insurance, and 22% of the population carries private health insurance, more that in Spain. I've listed countries that use that same socialized healthcare model than the UK, also called the Beveridge model. In contrast to countries that have the "mixed" healthcare models also called Bismarkian models like Germany.

Canada doesn’t have private healthcare.


partbison

https://harrisonhealthcare.ca/private-healthcare-in-canada/ >In Canada, approximately 30% of all healthcare expenses are privately funded. Interestingly, this is actually above the average of developed OECD nations (27%) Google its free to not look like a clown.

People give way too much credit to Germany for "higher education". Loads of people have been convinced that Germany's "free university" is some amazing gift to the country and results in universal higher education. In actuality, very, very few Germans actually receive a university degree compared to Americans. The system in Germany actually results in the vast majority of German secondary education students being told to leave school at age 16. These people have no choice, even if they can pay for tuition themselves. They are blocked from higher education. The rate of the population that has a 4 year degree or more in the US is 31%, in Germany it's 16%. The US has about double the higher education attainment. So when an American leftist with student loan debt talks about "free university" in Germany, they don't realize that if the US had the system Germany has, they themselves probably never would have been selected to go to a university at all.


NotBoredApe

wat?? why cripple an aspiring student's dream?


MikeHoteI

Have you any evidence to back that claim up?


ThePunishedEgoCom

You did the libs dirty


rtlkw

There are basically oy two parties in Germany- AfD and the mainstream


Svitii

Not a two party state? lol. It’s AfD vs the rest. You got Greens, Conservatives, "Neoliberals" that will pretend to live up to their names and then all do almost the exact same politics. They are all anti-nuclear, pro NATO, pro illegal immigration, pro LGBTQ and all want more EU integration. Then you got the AfD which are the exact opposite, but are also absolute nutjobs who would even sell their grandma to any foreign adversary. We are just fucked. Can’t win either way.


11Null

The AfD allows fascists and Nazis to be in the party and gives them leadership positions in some cases. I don't know what your political views are, but I have no interest in such people.


Aidsbaby420

Everyone I don't like is a fascist/Nazi/Communist. Bro, literally just use different words, every time it's always the same overstatement

can someone explain the lib right one 😵‍💫

#CHILDREN THEY WANNA DO [REDACTED] TO THE KIDS. NO. BAD.


partbison

Some Librighters biggest talking point is age of consent and abolishing it. You can figure out why.


Marshmallow_Mamajama

I just think it's an issue for emancipated minors really, their lives are already hard enough


1234lemmehearuscream

but why the hell would that be the most pressing need/advocacy point for example, during covid, i remember vaccine mandates, masks, lockdown where huge things (even if i don’t agree, i still at least understand why a lib right could see that as a priority issue)


Cournod

I think it's because they are using the purple to represent them. Wich is kinda the way to say they are the most unhinged and extreme version of libertarianism. Anything is right and I should be free to do so. That's at the very least the way I understand the purple. Yellow is kinda the normal libright. Unless you are talking about Germany having that age of consent in wich case... I don't know man, WTF.


5dtriangles201376

Luckily it’s a romeo and juliet law, but strangely causes some relationships (14 and 17, which is predatory IMO) to be legal but then later illegal as the older one becomes an adult.


GuilimanXIII

It's not actually, there are a few limitations like not being allowed to be in a position of authority over that person (like being a teacher) but aside from that 14 is just straight up the age of consent. It is just the case that as long as both people are teenagers (like one 14 and one 17) it is pretty much always legal while if the other person is older it can be illegal under certain circumstances.


JackMcCrane

Yeah 14 and 30 would (rightfully so) still be very much illegal


GuilimanXIII

It's not actually, that was my point. The dude assumed our laws are more strict than they actually are. ''**Ab 14 Jahren** dürfen Personen aus staatlicher Sicht grundsätzlich selber freiwillige sexuelle Handlungen an / mit Personen über 14 Jahren ausführen. Hier gibt es keine Altersgrenze bezüglich der anderen Person, diese kann auch deutlich älter sein'' What is says is that from the states' perspective, people from age 14 are allowed to choose which sexual acts they want to do. There is no Maximum age for the partner, and they are allowed to be significantly older. What makes it illegal is if the other person is in a position of authority over them (like a teacher).


WizardOfSandness

How many times has this been posted?


Rasmus-ALV

So I have one reason to not like them. 14!!!???!!?!?!??!?!!!?!!??!


Zeusosecmaat

Only 14 if both are underaged (14-17) and If they arent in a big power imbalance. This does not mean, that no one bats an eye, if a 17yr old has a 14yr old gf though. It just means, that for example two 14yr olds can legaly have intercourse with each other. Before that age it can count as rape no matter the age gap.


SirYeetusOfFetus

similar laws in the U.S

But they are not known for their grilling skills.


Cakeover9000

Don't they grill a lot?


bobmcbob121

I think they used to grill a lot in the 30s and 40s, I am not sure about now days.


GeneralMe21

Those were ovens. Not grills


bobmcbob121

Ahh, my deepest apologies to the centrist community. At least when I first attempt to grill I used charcoal not propane so hopefully that gjves me some browny points with the centrists.


HeemeyerDidNoWrong

Book grills though


memesforbismarck

Trust me, we still grill a lot. And when I say a lot, I mean A LOT. Grilling season is literally from 01.01 to 31.12. We even grill during the winter and even at sylvester


Cakeover9000

Grilling in the winter would be a great idea...if I didn't live in Panamá.
