I think her tone is quite antagonising and I am not sure if it is intentional:
" No one wants to live in a world where the little German lady with her oh-so rational arguments ends up being right. Not even the German lady wants that. Wait, what did I say? I must be crazy."
This is meant to sound self-deprecating (I think) but in the context of the articles comes across as arrogant to me because clearly she thinks she is not the little lady, and others are irrationally ignoring her superior insights. Could be a cultural artefact but it makes her articles uncomfortable to read for me.
For what it's worth, I (British) think it sounds fine. It's the sort of thing I can imagine myself or a number of my friends saying. Very probably a cultural thing.
