I think fertility is a very good point.
Kristina Schröder (not to be confused with the Chancellor Schröder I talked about in my previous post), CDU, and former responsible minister, was confronted with the analysis that the measures enacted by the CDU to support mothers were unfit to increase births. Her reaction: It was not her job to increase births, since that was the decision of every individual...
You are also not supposed to force people to have children - but yeah, if people wanted more children the whole of the nation and hence the individuals in it would be better off. And countries like France or Sweden have shown that it is possible to achieve this.
And it really angers me that after not taking care of this our parties now say we need the refugees because we have too few children... And I have this vaguely reasoned feeling that it is somewhat not political correct anymore to fight for more children. Because it is kinda associated with valuing Germanness or something of the sort. Or with the simple idea of wanting a people to prosper. I don't think this is an outright agenda, of course. But just an unintended, perhaps even unnoticed, effect of political individualistic post-national multi-culti culture.
And it is not doing those living in this nation a service.
I also can't hear anymore, while I am talking about things that anger me, when people basically declare the nation as kinda obsolete or a thing of the past just some people who can't move with the times still cling to.
What a nation is and what it stands for has been the only way to have a somewhat functional mass democracy and have somewhat functional source of solidarity for a mass society. There is nothing in sight to replace those important functions.
How a democracy without a nation is a poor democracy is already demonstrated by the EU apparatus.
And Sweden, which at least used to be a shining example of solitary within a nation, inherited this solitary from "Volkgemeinschafts"-ideas, ideas stressing the unity and togetherness of a people. Something today only associated with right-wing nuttery.
