Yes I see what you mean but please do not act like we are all brain-dead devout bucklings.
Be careful, you observations might be a bit off. Remember, often it is a small group of people who make a fuss and noise.
Also "they". Please differ between the government and the people. Yes there are those people who want to be "followers". But then, we would not be such a strong nation with so many self made companies, if we were all like you described.
It very depends on where you live, though. South, North, East, West.
The south for example is very traditional and has innovative industry. We were (ancestors in this region) all very poor here for a long time, this is when people started to be smart and inventive. The "we make that even better, because we can -thought" is very dominant here in the south.

Can you name any govermental or party initative during Merkels rule that actually would have increased personal freedoms in any meaningfull way? We can play the 'but not everyone' tune all day but we all know the direction the wind is blowing. And it'll only get worse.
