Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media. Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

When you share sources you should address what I said and not post unrelated stuff like migrant workers amd students. They don't stay. I'm talking about netto emigration.

When you share a source, you should read it before making conclusions based on the headline.
An English translation about the interview you linked:
Emphasis mine.
"The fraction of the people that were asked". Who was asked? Also, how do you ask people that have already emigrated to another country and don't plan to come back? Questionable methods. I'm only interested in the hard facts.
You can turn and twist it as much as you want. Fact is, there is a netto exodus of academics for economic reasons. And this has been going on for a while and not just yesterday.
Where do they go? Do you have any hard facts?
USA, Switzerland and Austria accounts for the majority of target countries. Around 60% if I remember correctly, correct me on that number if I'm wrong. Might be more than that. Emigration for economic reasons checks out though.
First, you post sources that contradict your own claims, and now you 'remember' numbers. I already corrected you, in part by using your own sources.
Such a debate is waste of time, bro. I end this discussion.
https://www.bamf.de/SharedDocs/Anlagen/DE/Forschung/Migrationsberichte/migrationsbericht-2023-kurzfassung.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=7
Netto exodus of 80.000 German citizens per year. And that or similar has been going on for more than a decade. Apparently they all intent to come back right? At some point? If not during the past 10+ years then when exactly is all of that majority coming back?
Also, no, my sources contradict my claims only partly. And I already explained why it's nonsense: You can't ask already permanently emigrated people whether they want to return. And as I explained above: if the majority intends to return and that is reported every year, then the data from the past years doesn't coincide with that claim.
About the destination countries:
https://www.welt.de/vermischtes/article253842704/20-Jahres-Tief-Immer-weniger-Deutsche-wandern-in-die-USA-aus.html
Switzerland, Austria and USA are the countries to go to, although USA less so than previously. And my 60% wasn't too wrong either.
You're misinformed if you think Germans aren't emigrating en masse for economic reasons.
Your response to end the discussion and blaming it on me is arrogant and it pisses me off.
So let me make it visual for you, so you can understand it better and we can finish this discussion:
People are migrating in any country, and sometimes they come back as is the case for Germany.
Read your own sources:
Addition:
Germany’s research and innovation assessed -- (2024)
You'll find a lot more on this across the web.
Again, as I already said, quesionable methods: this study is based on interviews with emigrants. But how do you ask emigrants that have already emigrated and don't plan to come back? It doesn't matter anyways. The numbers speak for themselves. It doesn't matter whether they want to return or not, they are gone now.
I did not know we are gaining scientific researchers in particular. This is good. However, this is just researchers. I'm talking about academics in general and emigration of German citizens. High-paying qualified workers. I shared my sources about that from the Statistisches Bundesamt.
