Re: Actually not
Yes indeed. Right from the 1880s, Germany suffered from an acute case of totalitarianism envy. All the poor lambs wanted was an empire of their own where they could subjugate millions of foreigners and kill any they didn't like the look of.
The current article under discussion describes what happens when British authorities forget that Essex Man is not African or Asian, and reacts badly to being shoved around. (Not of course that all Africans or Asians react well to it).
