Ann "Coulter"? - let me guess where her name comes from...

[Must_B_Free]

Kultur as the Germans developed it thus became a mighty bulwark of autocracy. It owed its origin and character to absolutist state control; it was systematically employed to promote the unity of the nation and to stimulate pride in and loyalty to the omnipotent state; it was at once the cause and the chief support of a policy of domination and aggression toward other nations. Its peculiar effectiveness was derived largely from the people’s ingrained habit of obedience, bred, in part, of centuries of experience when security depended absolutely upon the allegiance of the vassal to his lord, and when the economic ties of serfdom bound the peasants almost irrevocably to their masters—bred also, in part, of the patriotism and pride that laid hold upon the German mind in the great era of unification and expansion.

1. is this satire?

Its hard for me to tell if what you said was satire....but somehow I am doubting its not....I don't know this is what I found.


kulturkampf - 1879, "struggle between Ger. government and Catholic Church over control of educational and ecclesiastical appointments, 1872-86," from Ger., lit. "struggle for culture," from Kultur + Kampf "combat, fight, struggle," from L. campus "field, battlefield."

Afaik, Kultur is the german (and danish) word for culture. That german culture have some *ahem* experience with state control and unity of the nation doesn't make it a dirty word.
