Submit posts (from anywhere) where people unknowingly describe themselves.

Specifically, someone who, when attempting to mock or denigrate their political opposition, accidentally describes themselves. They aren't self aware enough to notice. Or, alternatively, someone who accurately describes the world while trying to parody it.

So this is still considered a democracy?

I'm not supporting this politician, but the video sections give a VERY biased view of what she really said. This is completely out of context. Biased articles citing the video were first published by Bild Zeitung and Die Welt, two German newspapers published by Springer Verlag. In the meantime there reports (mostly in German) criticising these articles.

There's of course nothing wrong with critical journalism, but this is no journalism at all imo.

Tell me, what is the context that makes it okay for the German government to put the interests of another country over the interests of its own citizens? Because clearly no one voted for this.

When I see that the family next door gets robbed, raped and murdered, I do what I can to help them. This is not only in their but also in my interest, because then I may reasonably expect that the society would also help my own family should they have to experience the same hell. I don't want to live in a world where someone can commit the worst crimes and no one cares because "it is not in their interest". I guess that's part of what is called civilization.
