Germany is, seemingly so weak politically, so lacking in sovereignty, that the political/media elite are allowed to follow policies that undermine Germany's national interest to an extraordinary degree. Germany, slashing itself with stanley knife, to show the West how loyal it is, and with barely a thought for the consequences.
Unfortuantely the left, like elsewhere, seems co-opted by the political system. Social Democracy and the others are 'responsible' and 'loyal.'
The biggest opposition party, isn't from the left anymore, it's the national/conservative AFD, which is a bit disturbing. The 'left' are committing suicide.
