Clairvoyant criticism

“There never was a good old time when everything was beautiful, and it probably never will be. The German people are no longer a nation at all ... a consumer society ... basically apolitical, at least politically untalented ... which is also in great danger of losing its identity. "

- Joachim Raack

What annoyed him about the corps studenthood was "the antediluvian structures, the terrible political disinterest as a result of the misunderstanding of the Kosen principle of tolerance, club dairy and the terrible district politics".
