Rpg , how do you expect germany to handle the coming economic crash and following war?

I would like to challenge your interpretation of the " sacrifice of the young". Sociology would say that, in contrast to trad. societies where the elders are respected for their wisdom, the West has long idolized the young. I doubt this has changed. Instead I think an unreasoning fear of death has infected society. No one expected children to suffer. HYsteria took over long ago.

The natural flow of life from infancy to prime to senility, is as normal as the movement of celestial bodies, so this hysterical movement of protecting the old from the inevitable is just a gaslighting attempt to ensure obedience through emotional blackmail.
So hysteria is fine term for all of this psychological manipulation, blind obedience, and general cognitive dissonance.
