#6 Partly because of this meaning indifference but probably more for
other reasons (different background in political thought ) no Revolution
in ideas like ours in 1787 Germany tends to accept more authority
in its government. Anthropologists trance this back to family structure
where the father is very dominate and this too may be a factor.
But one difference that I observe is that they don't haveour concept
of the secular-amoral state; here the state is a legitimate moral agent
and has a definite responsibility to protect the morale of the people.
The whole area of control and censorship (of TV movies etc.) which we
often one in America as threats to our freedom as given in the Bill of
Rights- they find here more valid and necessary. Currently there is less
of those (Femocracy is the beyond and Authority bad.) But it is likely
that the pendulum will swing back in coming yours and they have nobody
of political thought to oppose its doing so. Thus too the name "Christian
Democratic Union (Union because it combined a Protestant and a Catholic
party which were in pre-war years separate) is no accident - many people
support the party specifically because it is "Christian".
