“On one hand I couldn’t give a shit about Germany and on the other I’m full of rage … The general atmosphere of depression makes me furious, the utter idleness, this uptight existence. It seems to me that the whole of Germany is sitting on the toilet, groaning. You know exactly what has to happen for things to get going again but the German sits there cursing that there’s no toilet paper left and that’s why he can’t do it. That’s Germany.” – German theater director, Christoph Schlingensief, in the Guardian today.
