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>

In the federal state of [[Rhineland-Palatinate]], the [[AfD]] mayoral candidate for the town of Ludwigshafen, Joachim Paul, was banned from running for [[mayor]] based on the German domestic intelligence agency’s ([[BfV]]) report which included outrageous claims that Paul was a threat to the [[constitution]] based on 'unpatriotic' activities which included his praise for [[Lord of the Rings]]. Apparently, his belief that [[Tolkien]]'s ''[[Lord of the Rings]]'' trilogy reflected '[[conservative values]]' was some kind of 'dangerous' [[nationalist]] [[dog whistle]]; there is no longer any limit to the preposterous lows [[globalist]]s will stoop to in railroading and sandbagging legitimate candidates who pose a threat to the [[Rules Based Order|Ruse Based Order]]. Nearly 75% of the voters did not vote. Previous elections had turnouts over 60%, which demonstrates the utter disillusionment of [[voter]]s when candidates are simply wiped from the ballot.<ref>https://gamesoflaw.com/politics/democracy-at-risk-german-candidate-barred-over-lord-of-the-rings-praise/</ref>
