The 2021 Bundestag elections are taking place today. At first glance, this seems to be an ordinary event, since elections of this kind are part of a democratic system. Unlike many decisions before it, this one is much more than an ordinary ballot, if there can be such a thing at all. Rather, it is an election of fate, because many indicators suggest that the world has already crossed the threshold of a changing era and that any decision could have long-term, perhaps irreversible consequences.
