Germans are the classic sheeple follow their government to their own suppression then death.
Check out the twtter vids I posted, there are more. Last year there were massive protests in Germany and other European countries.
I worked with a German guy for a couple of years in NYC. Under no circumstances would he cross a street against the light, even if there wasn't a car in sight for miles.
Now, New Yorkers never observe pedestrian signals at the cross-walk, even in heavy traffic. I've been to London, Paris, Rome, Hong Kong and they don't either.
I think crossing against the light it as good a gauge of individualism vs. "hive mind" as one could ask for.
