> For instance, most people don't like the attitude that voting is not a very effective form of political action. To me, this stance seems to be very US-centric. In Germany, this is an actually quite socially acceptable opinion (even though, of course, the "system press"/"lie press" (Systempresse, Lügenpresse; derogatory terms for the mainstream of newspapers and magazines, which are considered to be too attached to political parties) does not like such a stance). In the 60s and 70s, this attitude actually lead to the formation of the Außerparlamentarische Opposition (extra-parliamentary opposition) in West Germany: > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Au%C3%9Ferparlamentarische_Opposition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Au%C3%9Ferparlamentarische_Opp...
