[Preliminary remark: This text, deliberately formulated in a polemical manner, dates from 2014. It adresses German hypocrisy towards the USA and is still relevant today. The emergence and continued rise of the AfD in particular proves how self-righteous the Germans‘ decades-long talk of their supposed world championship in coming to terms with the past was.

At present, we do not see ourselves in a position to do so. Emanzipation und Frieden, January 2026]

Germans might be leftists, Christians or Nazis – but most of them agree in one point: they despise you. They might claim that they just criticize your policy but you can forget about that.
