So I came across this, what do you guys think. Is this why Germans are acting like afraid deranged animals right now?

"Germans are worriers. We can hardly go one day without suffering existential anxiety and we hate change. It’s even got a name: “German angst.”
It’s real. The Unisys Security Index, based on a bi-annual survey of national, financial, Internet and personal security, currently shows a value of 146 out of a possible 300 points for Germany. In comparison: Great Britain’s at 103 on the angst scale, while Holland is only at 66.
The Germans are driven by a feeling of permanent threat. To counteract this, they invented the welfare state, accept things like a reform backlog and spend billions on insurance policies to secure against practically any risk that life could throw at them.
Whether it’s cantankerous neighbors or burglary, the loss of a mobile phone or replacement teeth, life or even death — policies for every eventuality are piled high in German shelves. (...) "

Are you telling me that WW2 was one giant /r9k/ Beta Uprising?

This isn't really news but the status quo in northern Europe (and northern-everywhere).
Adversity bred traits of survival into us and nature is hard to fight against, modern socio-political memes be damned.
Worry is the northman's bread. Preparation his beer. There is no convenient banana-tree under the warm sun here nor will there ever be.

This too. It's mild autism by any other name

Except Germany has nothing to do with that. It has a continental climate, at least most of it.

Hello you muslim little cockroach.
"Germany" was not made by lazy continental pasta-eaters.
Deutschland was forged and unified by cold warrior german-slavobaltic mongrels from the ass end of Europe with gunpowder and steel and courage. It was not soft and aristocratic Austria that imposed it's values unto a unified German people but crazy homicidal maniacs from the ass-end of the HRE with not a drop of softness or compassion for your brown midget kind in their cold viking hearts.
Germans are trash. They start shit but never win.

East asians have the same autism issue, it's a trait selected in the general population of feudal warring societies; nothing to do with climate.

The concept of evolution is the boogeyman hiding in your closet. Mankind has been past the handwave of natural selection for millennia by now. Stop making such a simple concept as an excuse to ward your feeble tartar mind from the larger noospheric entirety that is the meme and it's effect on a species with the capability of fast communication outside of tribal interest.
