Overall a surprisngly good piece, not only because it's coming from the left-wing Die Zeit but also because he calls out the "social humiliation" factor, best represented by the "gay matrriage" decision nad the trans-gender lunacy being rammed down everyone's throats by an incompetent and corrupt elite.

The main point he misses is that the elites can act this way right now because the regimes in the West now are not particularly democratic-- there seems instead to be a worldwide convergence towards corrupt, kleptocratic authoritarian regimes.

That's been the norm throughout human history, now hasn't it?
