Germans have always been vulnerable to demagogary and conspiracy theories. Hitler convinced these astute Europeans that Jews were the source of all their woes. They bought it hook, line and sinker. Germans have never managed to overcome their tribalism. For all the trappings of culture, they are still a primitive society.

What an idiotic,bigoted statement.
Excellent post, although many on this thread will disagree. Those that disagree have not watched PBS, funded by the US taxpayer, lately.
I only keep one eye on them, the other one is lazy and keeps tab on everyone else :-)
Very very true...and terribly sad.
Actually it looks they took the American mainstream media news and turned it into a TV series.
Tell me again why people are surpirsed at the 'rise of Anti-Americanism' around the globe.
This same scererio (or flavors of it) are played out everyday. We aren't the only country with a new york times.
Gee, 50% of Americans think the Germans are whiney eurowimps and that Germany is almost a Third World country.
Repulsive people, the Germans. Almost as bad as Russians; only a fool would trust any damned one of them.
Many Germans think, for example, that the 1969 moon landing was faked
This is an evident theme in the music video for Amerika by the German band Rammstein. When I first saw it: the moon landing skepticism as expressed by the video was what I found most striking & immedialdely realized that the "faked moon landing" stories have gone somewhat mainstream among a great numbr of Germans. The video was done in a semi homourous & irreverent manner.
