Germans are a very civilized, logical, well-educated and reasonable people
Yet they have a blind spot for readily accepting authoritarianism in the name of collectivism and the so-called “greater good” which still puzzles me, despite my knowledge of the language and much time spent there.
Germans (and I might add many other Europeans) have an envy streak that’s hard to understand. In the case of a home burglary, they might assign partial blame on the house owner for having goods that attracted the thief.
