I live in Germany and I had to think about the parellels.
We were once very well respected. Other people promised us a bright future. We were looked up to because we were known for being eager and disciplined. Though, our economic situations declined. Our merits lost their values. We don't have a real and realistic plan to improve. Our attempts to stabilize backfire. People lost hope in us. People are leaving without looking back. We had a rough past but our future is unknown and uncertain.
However, I have to say my personal situation is probably worse than the fate of the country. I think most Germans are economically far better of than me. I am not sure what actually would symbolize me committing suicide. Maybe a government led by the far-right AfD which made an Invasion by Russia more likely. And there is something off with the comparison. I think many Germans could live a half-way decent life if they adapted to a far-right government. And I could imagine people would do that. The rich people don't have to fear much. They will always be privileged and can leave the country if shit hits the fan.
