The generation Helmut Kohl slowly but surely, one by one, leaves the field. The smarter ones among them, thank God, will still get to grips with what they've done - but this shouldn't worry these egomaniacs any further, they'll have cathedrals built for them first.
Our environment is destroyed, the country is run down, the mountains of debt are higher than Mount Everest, Europe, like the rest of the world, is slowly but surely getting into an increasingly hot war and our democracies are all on the verge of collapse.
The average citizen has already recognized this and is still taking everything with them: subsidies for electric cars, vacations, festivals and celebrations until they drop! — we had the whole thing before and later called it the Golden Twenties.
What's worse is that we're all already starting to look for the "culprits" again. It's a good thing that we have an increasing number of new fellow citizens who are giving anti-Semitism a whole new lease of life. Since our Jewish fellow citizens are unlikely to be enough to blame for the whole mess, we have to look for other people to blame: the poorest and weakest in society are actually a good candidate for this.
However, even this will not be enough and so it is probably a good thing that we have retained a healthy nationalism, which we have been seeing for a while now in the Greeks (“Get out of the euro!”), Italians and other supposedly weaker foreigners like to practice. I can already see the political demands that we should repeat from the Luxembourgers, Danes, Dutch and Swiss what they have “stolen” from us over the decades - and when we have a little more momentum, we might even dare to do it back to the arch-enemy - because we all actually know it: “It has always been that way and will always stay that way!”
Until then, we'll let it rip again! We all more than deserve this; Even if we can barely master the multiplication tables ourselves or drive a nail straight into the wall, I don't want to think about trains on time or clean streets anymore.
In this regard, I fondly remember a cartoon in which a few little devils sit together, laugh and pat each other on the thighs. The subtitle: “They call it a spiritual-moral turnaround.”
Before that, people tried to leave the world at least a little better than how they found it!
Helmut Kohl generation?
Which years does this mean?
This is entirely up to your own imagination.
Yes, in retrospect, the Kohl generation did a lot of things wrong. But do we know all the essential circumstances that led to the decisions?
We can only actively shape the future in a way that we find positive within the framework of applicable law.
I believe in the effectiveness of the technologies that are already technically feasible today and those of the future. Let us as the European Union help ensure that these technologies that improve our environment find their way into the minds of our politicians and our fellow human beings.
And let us also highlight and perhaps even reward the positive things that many politicians are doing.
With this in mind, I wish you a fantastic, positive, healthy New Year!
At the end of the year I no longer recognize my friend Heinrich. I can attribute this pessimism to the Last Generation, but not to the person I value so highly, who throughout her life has contributed greatly to making the world a little better every day.
It would only be bad if it was in the direction Arthur Schopenhauer would go. But his followers could interpret it completely differently. I don't know the pessimism of the Last Generation, but I don't think much of these "hyperactive" fellow citizens either.
By the way, frustrating a pessimist would be a very difficult thing - our world can't possibly get that good. It's more the optimists who sometimes start to ponder at the end of the year.
If imprinting depends on the environment and phase of life, generational behavior should actually be easy to calculate and should therefore not be a cause for surprise. Ergo, some problems can also be solved biologically.
