The Greens are taking over Germany, more or less. They are actually socialists with added ideology, and they do remind me of communism. Europe is in all kinds of trouble, nowadays.
The current political situation also leads to piles of restrictive laws, but weak and sparse law enforcement.
In 2018 I forgot to mount my license plate on my R3R one day. I drove through a whole city, lane splitted through a traffic jam and went on using the highway.
I came home in the evening, perfectly safe and without a ticket. 25 years ago they would have spotted and stopped me after less than 30 minutes.
