Exploring the Rise of Pro-German Sentiment on College Campuses

In summary, the conversation revolves around the topic of pro-German sentiment at a university, with one person mentioning encountering pro-German youth movements in their third year. The group discusses the idea of everything German being better and mentions a German exchange student who is considered to be superior. They also briefly mention a movie called Zeitgeist, which is not related to the pro-German sentiment.

I've been at my university for three years and the first two of which I had never run across the pro-german youth movements that I did in my third year. I am not sure why but according to a small minority of people everything german is just better; pencils, rulers, paper, cars, music, etc. I tolerate this but I do not know why this feeling is at my (American) university. Anyone else heard of this Zeitgeist movie?

Dude, I know this German guy. He was exchanged for a friend of mine. We call him [Friend's name] 2.0

He's on the rowing team, a physics/engineering major, blond hair blue eyes. Man, he's just so much better than me.
