What sort of BS mental gymnastics is this.
Germany is giving money to freelancers because they know that there is a risk they will become genocidal dictators.
It's not hard.
It plays on a German stereotype.
It's uncontroversial because everyone is comfortable with the stereotype / joke subject matter.
You can get into the points Tester was making about power imbalances or whatever to explain why it's ok, but it's a joke about Germans dependent on negative stereotypes.
