I also moved to Germany and bailed after 6 months. Unlike this article, I didn't care about the people or language, I was there to make some money and move on, so it wasn't a place I wanted to integrate into to begin with. The people in Germany, on average, don't like foreigners and don't want them around. That's true in Europe in general and definitely true for Germany, so I'm not sure what the article's author is really surprised at. That said, what made me move after such a short time though is that I'm 100% sure the same bunch of old money that supported the Nazis is still there today running things. Once you meet a few of the rich ones and see how arrogant and stupid they are, you realize immediately that their society is structured so that these people will remain on top no matter what. And from this fact you know all you need to about who you are really working for, and by extension, who their grandparents supported.
