The thing is, my son doesn't see it that way (so it seems). He has been educated by the state through school and I, who urge him to be careful what the public service or the leading media say, bounce off him. For now, anyway. The influence of parents on their children is great when they follow state education, but it crumbles when one contradicts the forces at work.
The security that children expect from their parents, and when they are old enough for that, is fed by the fact that they want their parents to run with political correctness, not to cause trouble, to do what everyone else does or does not do.
From my son's point of view (and probably that of many other children), it is embarrassing and uncomfortable for students to have parents who are not satisfied with everything that school provides in terms of education. It is more important not to "embarrass" than to seriously address the issues raised by the imposed course by the ministries. One's own offspring must first outgrow school life, have their own life and work experiences, in order to be able to understand parenthood at all, if at all.
Images of enemies and friends have a powerful overhang through education and the media, and one's own family seems to be of secondary interest. If children do not start early to take an interest in their own family history in the context of larger events, they will have to take on the heavy legacy imposed on them by society.
As far as war is concerned, I worry about Germany and Europe. Since our country is too small to supply us with energy and other needed resources (or so it seems), the government is forming alliances and positioning itself against Russia and for the US. Since, it seems, we have irrevocably cut ourselves off from Russian energy supplies, we need replacements. However, whether it is the Russians or other states from which we receive oil and gas, we seem to be dependent. Who wants to know that, if the worst comes to the worst, even the most reliable partner will not turn off its energy taps if it runs counter to its own interests or bottlenecks? This is probably one of the reasons why France did not abandon nuclear energy...
But what do I know?
