> The unpopular opinion that nobody is allowed to discuss Why are you assuming a victim stance and wrongly so?

  I'm not assuming the victim stance, but every time this is brought up it is always actively ignored and scoffed off as nonsense. There's a lot of arrogance in German politics pushing everyone to bury their head in the sand and tell themselves everything is fine, nothing can possibly go wrong, we're the best at everything, right before the country is caught with their pants down, unprepared for the obvious issues brewing under their noses. Remember the Wickard scandal when the Financial Times uncovered their dirt and instead of the authorities looking at Wirecard they turned at the Financial Times as if they were trying to Financially destabilize Wirecard? The same thing repeats itself on every issue in Germany, like this topic. Just look at the top comment: "Something negative about Germany in the WSJ? It can't be true, it must be WSJ trying to destabilize Germany". Everyone keeps doubting that Germany is ever doing something wrong and assumes by default that all negative news must be incorect or have an agenda.
