I see Germany as being a much better model for the 21st century then the USA which is in decline and it's population is not adapting and growing more reactionary in the face of change.
Maybe it's the young empire complex dooming itself with arrogance? Americans sure are arrogant in here, about what I have no idea, the USA has had it's moment, the sun will not set, but we cannot keep raping the world for labor/resources to support such a lifestyle. Germany is leading the way in sustainability, American culture is full of brain dead tv/mass media wage slaves, working more hours, for less money who will sell themselves short for a buck -becauase it is the American way.
