Germany's post-[[imperial]] hangover is a [[moral]] autoimmune disease: the country is so terrified of its own shadow that it has replaced national pride with aggressive self-flagellation and recycling regulations. Their identity is built on being the "[[Moral]] [[Superpower]]," which practically translates to shutting down their perfectly functional nuclear power plants to burn dirty coal, all while lecturing their neighbors on carbon footprints. It is a nation of engineers who have engineered a society that doesn’t work. The German spirit, once defined by efficiency and discipline, has mutated into a paralyzed bureaucracy where filling out the correct form is more important than the outcome. They are so desperate to avoid being "threatening" that they’ve become essentially a large [[NGO]] with an army that has broomsticks for rifles, terrified that showing any backbone might be interpreted as a relapse.<ref>https://x.com/Arrogance_0024/status/1998505132904911225</ref>
