In germanys underfunded and class-segregated education system historic revisionism and pop-lib history is widespread. Its countryside is controlled by American-founded CDU country lords. German society is also still conservative and regressive. The lower class of german society is very effectively sidelined, I know it from my father, who doesn't speak up or criticizes his bosses because of a sense of "Oh they are more qualified than me".
