A generationIn modern society, every time it feels extraordinary. This extraordinary vocabulary is a vocabulary of crisis. Allegedly, we often live in one or more crises at the same time. Sometimes it is even said that there have never been so many crises, and—not exactly the same—changes so rapidly as they are today. This is not only interesting, because social stagnation is constantly being diagnosed at the same time. This also caused measurement problems. For example, 50 years ago there was an oil crisis, stagflation (recession including inflation), a crisis of legitimization of late capitalism, Club of Rome Confirmed, there is also terrorism from the left, including radical laws and computer searches. The rate of change of all or part of the population after 1945 after 1989 is not even included in the comparison.
if Angela Merkel Her time as prime minister now ends in a management manner. In retrospect, the most important thing is that the crises she had to deal with are listed. She is considered the chairman of the permanent crisis conference. The financial crisis after the bankruptcy of Lehman Bank in 2008, the euro and national debt crisis after Greece’s impending bankruptcy in 2010, the refugee crisis in 2015, and the pandemic of the past two years.

But this is a strange explanation of actual facts. The so-called refugee crisis lacks moments of self-reinforcing, fascinating, and acceleration.

On the contrary, the most violent protests against admitting refugees concentrated on AfD, They took the form of fanaticism, planning to “repopulate”, “sword man” and “turban girl” are about to destroy the community. There is violence, just as there is violence against immigrants. But not the spiral of violence assumed in the crisis. Conflicts increased, but destruction did not occur. AfD won 13% of the federal government’s votes in 2017, and 87% of voters disagreed with them. But more importantly: Since 2015, every election at the federal and state levels has not recorded the polarization of the Germans, but the active alternation of voters on all sides.
