It's really sad that this article again only is in German language, because it is competently summarizing the many details in Germany's misery, bitter-ironic in style and really true, I agree with most if not all of what it has to say. It is a bit too long as if I would translate it by hand, and the online tools for doing that produced nonsens, too many wordgames in it that cannot be translated well. So those of you who waited to hear me complaining about Germany as strong as I do about american politics again will have little satisfaction, I'm sorry.
The text is a result of the recent campaign and election in Germany, but where it does not adress German specifications but today's political anti-culture and mechanisms in general, it is not only representative and descriptive for Germany, but most if not all other Western countries as well.

In a way I ask that myself, too (I have no children, on a personal and emotional level I am sad because of that, but on another level I feel relief. Maybe you can understand what I mean).
