Just for the record, while I have voiced heavy criticism repeatedly for sure - that simplistic I never have painted it, in fact have tried to see it more differentiated.
Just when my country, which I criticise myself on many opportunities, time and again gets attacked while loosing dozens and hundreds of billions at the cost of the younger Germans' future and their pensions when being old, while other nations try to establish a status of unlimited spending frenzies, betray treaties they swore to, and cheat on the eU and on othe rnations, and Germany always expected to pay for it, and we then get called Nazis and conquerors if some of us with silent voice dare to object to this madness - then I am after this long time a little bit pissed to much as if I let the one doing like this off the hook so easily.
Those benefitting from our payments are very quick in demanding more solidarity, and more solidarity, and then even more solidarity. But what is with the solidarity of those running mismanagement, cheating on the community, and getting fed like parasites at the cost of others who risk their own future over that - where is the solidarity with Europe in their behavior???
Have you ever noticed that the more risks Germany takes, the more payments it agrees to, and the more it gives to others (and betrays its own youth by doing so), the more Germany gets attacked, gets offended and is confronted by demands by doing even more, and more, and then more?
I'm sick of it, from head to toes. The only thing that sickens me even more is that Germans let the German mafia in the Bundestag do like this, instead of crowding the streets, storming the parliament and lining these liars and traitors up the wall for the treachery they commit.
