The deindustrialisation -> rising populist right pattern is kinda similar in Lil' US (Germany); it started later and moves quicker. And we can't get by on software subscriptions.
Germany and Austria are once again the most dangerous countries in all of Western Europe. We'll very soon see an AfD win, and from that moment Germany will once again be hostile to the rest of Europe.
I already knew that Germany had learnt _less than_ nothing and had been saying this for years, though always being met by anger from Germans, regardless of their political allegiance. Until about a year ago, which is when at least some of them finally started admitting that indeed, they'd been living a lie.
