The description of Germans and German behavior seems to be mostly correct, in my opinion. Some points I disagree with:
- I never heard someone discuss the environmental impact of microwave ovens.
- I have some doubts if the public TV stations are still the biggest.
- Unions appear to have lost some power in the last twenty or thirty years here in Germany. At least, the amount of serious strikes seems to have decreased.
- The requirement to be a "Meister" to be able to open a shop have been dropped in recent years, for almost all trades as far as I know.
I disagree mostly with the German description of aggression and violence. Sometimes, I wish he'd expressed a point a little bit more nuanced.
