Article Ping for the locals...
Germans are mentally paralyzed by reminding them of thier past Nazi & authoritarian practices. (Aside: Though if you go back and study Imperial Germany you will discover that the government was NOT as oppressive as is “popularly” thought. For example voter suffrage was more widespread then the UK. For the time they had social services that were very well developed, a universal pension system was present and efficiently run, etc. The biggest problem was no one liked Kaiser Wilhelm II on a personal basis!)
You mentally paralyze an American (particularly a politician!) by finding a way to call him/her a racist.
And the MSM in both countries amplify this!
It *must* be in the German blood....do everything possible to disrupt and destroy.
100%, Servo1969.
I have said this for years, that liberalism is a mental disorder, and they are dangerously unstable because they live in a constant state of cognitive dissonance.
In Orwell’s “1984”, they have to constantly engage (as second nature) in “Doublethink” (the ability to hold two completely contradictory thoughts simultaneously while believing both of them to be true)
This is not the act of pretending to believe both things have to be true...critically, this is the goal of BELIEVING both things to be true, even though they cannot be.
This is the normal state of affairs in modern liberalism, and it is sick and unhealthy, and explains why most acts of violence of all kinds (particularly mass murder) are committed by liberals.
——Germany, seeks to expunge its existential guilt over WWII——
I would argue differently.
Sweden is or has killed herself by the suicide of Islam. Sweden has no guilt.
The fact that untold millions were killed by the wars, not counting the Jewish genocide, produced an antiwar mindset. The antiwar mindset will not allow any action that could induce war. The result is suicide by Islam
And as usual in English.
I know a few Germans and Dutch who are emigrating to the states and South America
Leftists can hold two contradictory thoughts in their ‘minds’ at the same time. They see no conflict. Something about the dialectical in dialectical materialism.
That looks like a place I don’t want to go to.
I totally disassociated myself from my so called family in Austria due to their Bush bashing and have never looked back or regretted that decision!
If Trump is able to gut Obamacare using Executive Orders and telling his Secretary of HHS to make certain rulings, that shows you how crappy the law is. As some critics noted at the time, it was an "enabling act," basically giving the Executive Branch sweeping powers. That alone makes it a constitutional abomination.
