Yesterday, the German politician Wolfgang Schäuble died. While he wasn’t Kissinger-level evil, he was still ultra-conservative, corrupt, and deeply misanthropic.

That’s why it feels weird reading all those articles and commentaries in German media praising his record-long career in parliament without even mentioning all the inhuman shit he’s done over the past few decades.

It might sound harsh, but we’re better off without politicians like Schäuble.
