The anti German hysteria of WW1 has been forgotten after WW2 overshadowed it - https://twitter.com/LindyScience/status/1502140540552425473

The narrative of WW2 has changed to being about Jews and racism but both wars were framed as being against German authoritarianism in defense of democracy. That anti state/anti authority cult which makes no distraction between good or bad authority and sees the State as something inherently oppressive is one of the key weaknesses of Anglo values which have become values of the West. Modern techno industrial society requires a more active State and having it be democratic and weak allows forces that have no interest in the heath of the nation to weld power over it.
