    It’s like Austria. Sure, technically they’re German, but they’re their own thing

      “Austria is German(y)” was pushed by a very specific group for a very specific purpose.

      The word you want is Germanic. There is a very important distinction between the national and ethnic or cultural terms here.

        Thank you, seriously wasn’t trying to make fascist arguments, I promise. Just trying to make a comparison and why certain things can’t always be grouped together
