>They were the ones who created a world in which I could grow up carefree. And they are the ones who are destroying this world...
Oh my gosh the cognitive dissonance is insane.
Slightly off-topic...I thought the limits of German humour were stretched with the film 'Look Who's Back' but clown world keeps delivering! (I liked the film).
Edit - I genuinely laughed at your 'bottom lines' and the part of the article where they advise not to 'drink and debate.' These people would not last for 5 minutes in Australia.
We had a case in Malmö some ten years ago when a psychologist tried to diagnose a patient with "Islamophobia". Didn't go well for the psychologist: only diagnoses in the code-manual are allowed.
But the signal-value is not to be underestimated: it is the old trick of planting in the minds of the audience the idea that there's something wrong with the one diagnosed - it is the same as a false accusation. "There must be something not right, otherwise why all the ruckus about?" is the intended effect.
The counsellor asking this question makes me picture a person who got into the Mobile Extremism Counselling profession imagining they would be rehabilitating people traumatized by violent gangs… instead they get to deal with an endless flood of “my grandfather doesn’t respect my values at dinnerrrrrrrr”.

Of course they won't, and there's no way the above piece could be meant in earnest: but, for whatever reason, I fear the person who wrote it means it…
Nor in Germany although the young, urban left veers toward teetotalism. Shudder.

Predictive programming, anyone?

Free food and grandfather's disapproval--what an unfair mess this live is.
„… how much humour our German friends have“
Have what?
Thanks for spotting this one!
