Lol, what an egoistic view of the world. "Everybody else is to blame but me". It's all those lobbyists, immigrants, bankers, politicians, nazis, antifa, that boogeyman over there! But me? Nah, I'm perfect and all my friends and family never do anything wrong. In fact, anybody who I can identify with is globally right.

Now that's sad.

Yes, it looks egoistic if you are this deluded as you are.

But we have real problems to solve and can't save every propaganda victim that refuses to accept reality because you run on the usual hateful narrative about Germany. Hey, I don't even blame you. Telling a lie about Germany any time you need to divert from some own issue is a well honored tradition in Europe (and thus wide-spread in media) and so I understand that you were trained to follow that pattern. It's sad (or funny... I still haven't decided...) none-the-less.

So you can cry about those imaginary egoistic Germans of yours all you want. The actual ones are massively building up renewables, are -contrary to your beloved lies- on a historic low in coal use. And this report is actually about the transport and construction sectors not matching their emission reduction goals (while sectors liker energy or industry -the actual sources of coal use- are easily fullfilling theirs... but that's not mentioned because -as I said before- energy and industry are not even remotely the topic of this report.)

What makes you think that person only thinks poorly of German low-information voters? Low-information voters are a plague around the world.

His comments right here in this comment chain I answered to?

"Voted in by German citizens."
"Awww, poor German people. Never learned to think for themselves. Just learned how to follow orders."

Call me biased but explicitly calling out Germans in two comments in a row is a good indicator for that he is talking about.

Well, yeah, because we're talking about Germany. In other discussions, where it is my country and not Germany that's being discussed, there are plenty of similar comments.
