It's unfortunate the comment is inflammatory, the information contained is valuable.
It's not my fault that under the guise of being the force of good, of being the moral highground itself, of being pampered by decades of softball questions from nearly the whole of German Journalism, curruption can flourish.
It can do so even better if adherends of Berlin progressivism are being nurtured in the belief that, and opponents of Berlin progressivism are being threatened with that, every criticism of the left is guilty by association: Tin-Foil-Hat > Right-Wing > Nazi.
Just look at the FB profile of one their CEOs… full of "Nazis everwhere". It's the modern day.
> And we all know: Anyone who critcizes the left-wing sphere of Berlin is nothing but a racist. So there comes the rug.
which distracts from the valuable rest of your comment.
I do this myself sometimes and have noticed that it usually steers the discussion away from the subject matter.
