Germans: From one extreme to the other.
Not for long.
“...That agony will comes in three forms: the economics of the welfare state; the self-blinding politics of multiculturalism; and security...”
The socialism of the EU devouring itself. Sounds like many have no idea that they have opened Pandora’s box...
This is going to end very badly for Germany. They are under an intense spirit of delusion. Delusion similar to the pure emotional response, sans rationality, that American Liberals display. It will not take long until these refugees start turning German society upside down. It may take a year or two, but it will not be long until these refugees start demanding that German society change, while they enjoy ever growing public benefits.
The mosques will certainly come, and then comes the restlessness, disaffection, and society will go into a tailspin as the most liberal among Germans will side with the poor, poor refugees and they slowly suck the lifeblood from their German hosts.
Two years -- tops -- before this starts playing out.
My question is this:
“What kind of security is going to be present, when oktoberfest kicks off in a few weeks?”
White German guilt.
Question - 50 years from now who will be seen as the greater villain, Hitler or Merkel?
I had an interesting but depressing conversation with two young women from Germany in a train station in Portland, Oregon this morning. I overheard their accents and asked if they were from there.
I asked them what was going on. They shared my worry but were critical of the response of the Poles and Hungarians, calling them antirefugee.
I couldn’t help but come to the defense of their neighbors to the east, arguing that their response should not be interpreted as xenophobic but rather one of self defense. I tried to make the argument that just as one wouldn’t let strangers invade their home so nations should defend their borders.
These two young ladies were very polite and did not argue back. They may even have seen me as some old white American crank. But I told them God Bless and stay safe.

This guy must be on mushrooms.
Where is Merkel? I don't think she has spoken publicly on this matter yet.
In 2006 31% of Kreutzberg were already non-German born, predominately Turkish.
Kreutzberg is also historically homosexual, it’s always had a massive gay and bisexual scene....it’s always been Europe’s equivalent of San Francisco’s Castro area.
In the 1970s Kreutzberg was the Heroin-Junkie capital of Europe and for the past decade has been returning to this.
So the writer of this article must be delusional or just smoking the ganja, because Kreutzberg ISN’T any sort of gauge of GERMAN thinking or OPINION.
A place full of Turks, gays, lesbians, transsexuals, pimps and whores, junkies and crackheads ISN’T German thinking or opinion.
It’s a good thing you have a REAL citizen of Europa, who’s visited pretty much every country on my Continent and spent time there and has many European friends....so you can get a more honest opinion than that fool writers giving.
Outstanding analysis!
“What a contrast with the pictures of other Germans in an earlier time shipping “others” to the east, on out-bound trains, to places like Treblinka and Auschwitz.”
Oh yeah, the usual stuff, CAN’T write an article about Germany without mentioning THIS little chestnut can they?
Schweinhund!
