Germany's unemployment rates suck ass and every German I know is pessimistic. I'll cross my fingers that your brother is right. Maybe someday I'll make more than €12,000 a year....
The thing is my brother tends to talk about ten years from now without my realizing it. My guess is that he is talking about Germany and the EU in like, ten or even fifteen years. I hope he's right too.

You wouldn't be assuming that anyone was stupid by making the presumption that no one knows how the geopolitical landscape effects our everyday lives. No one knows. Not even most smart people. Don't be niave, darling. But do enlighten people with what you know on a daily basis. You won't be pedantic or "didactic"(like your brother) but you will plant the seeds of self reflection in peoples heads. It's the only way that we have a chance. Don't leave it all up to me. Please.

"Don't leave it up to me." That sounded pompous. But I feel like I'm always trying to make connections in peoples lives (not necessarily on LJ) to the wider scheme of things, and no one seems to really internalize it. Not really. That's all I mean...
