Oh totally.
Just you wait, German Tanks will roll again.
They are coming for you.
Be afraid.
Be very afraid.
Now to be a bit less serious.
Q: Is Germany in a dire economic crisis that would prompt the german populace to assemble around a strong charismatic leader?
A: No. As of this point, Germany is still the economic powerhouse of the European continent. Life is still good.
And let us face it: Merkel is neither charismatic, nor strong. Her nickname in Germany is “Mutti” (mummy). The only reason she gets reelected is that she is doing so little herself, and showing barely any presence at all, that the electorate just does not get riled up enough to elect someone else.
Q: Is there an official and widespread demonisation, scapegoating, and persecution of selected minorities?
A: No. While there are of course small scale racist organisations like ‘PEGIDA’ ”(Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West)”, the AFD (“Alternative for Germany”), and the old NPD, there is no officially sanctioned persecution of minorities (safe for the activities against muslims caused by the international islamic terror scare).
Q: Is there a government driven call to strong “national pride”, “patriotism” and national chauvinism?
A: Last time I checked, no. In fact, I feel that it is still frowned upon, fortunately, to show any nationalism outside of the Football Worldcup.
Q: Is there a large and growing investment into military power in preparation for current and future wars of aggression, focusing solely on military superiority of Germany over its direct neighbours?
A: No, there is not. The closest you will get is participation in international procurements and the random “scandal” over supposedly defective service rifles.
Now, ask these same questions for the so called “united states of america”.
Or Russia. Or China.
