The world is giving up on liberal democracy because it's turned in globalization. Liberals today want to change the world into one big gigantic post office.

"...We Germans can never escape the trauma of our recent history...

Why not? Do the elites have a vested interest in consistently debasing your culture so as to create a sense of guilt and self loathing, because it serves their agenda?

Because I think they do.

So backwards.

Crazy leftists think being against importing today’s equivalent of the Nazis in to your country is being like the Nazis.

Up is down. Good is evil. Night is day.

Who was it again conducting "Kristallnacht" operations in Ferguson, MO?

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.

” Germany’s slide into a popular embrace of authoritarianism in the 1930s “

Note the only thing I see coming out of Trump’s mouth that could be construed as “authoritarian” is per immigration. That is not authoritarian, that is establishing order along constitutional lines.

In fact, today, given the amount of government authority and its abuse of it, you can hardly describe the U.S. as “liberal”.

Anytime there is a breath of nationalism or a desire for national sovereignty, out come the cries of Nazi/Fascist/Rasist/Xenophobe. I think they have a key on their typewriters that has that phrase on it, just to save time.
Screw the foreign owned NY Times.
