I'm definitely a European Mega fan 😅

Bayern, the Texas of Germany.

The raver tribe! Parades, Open Airs, mixed with Hippie ideas, anti-right wing

Noticed your book shelf thing below the pin board looked like the flag of Niger

This explanation sounds a lot like what we have in the UK even with the same colours

35 Stereotypes...

Bavaria is just the best and that is a fact!

The autocrat-fanboys are probably the funniest people ever. How are you supposed to be manly and fangirl over another, in your Views, MANLY MAN? They are also really homphobic so idk how they exucse themselves to be simping over another mam

Bavarians are also the greatest NIMBYs, like advocating one thing but not participating in the bad sides of said thing. Example? Nuclear power. It’s ok for them, but storing waste? NIMBY.

This is an amazing video and I wouldn’t mind hearing you talk about parties of other countries too. Your style reminds me of Canuck JJ Mucollogh.

so they have a new nsdap but the kpd is banned... boy dont you just lov democracy

the first cathegorie of eastalgics (the one focusing on consumer goods and maybe a little bit lifestyle of that time) sems more present for me and i (as a westerner) might Even feel thats a good thing to remember.

East germans are a prime example how things like this is often not just some form of Racism, they aren't underrepresented because they are black or muslim, they are just underrepresented because they came late to the party and everything was already established without them. Also, the bavarian exceptionalist imo is just sad. Bavaria was poor, to a point where it was one of if not the worst place to live in west germany, so places like North Rhine Westfalia (the state that is poor now because all of the industry has been closed down) was sending Bavaria tons of money to build up their wealth, and the second the Bavarians got wealthy they acted like they did it all by themselves and have no obligation to help other german states. 28:33 Whelp this is out of date a few weeks later

I was about to give a thumbs down because as a German interested in politics I found this video lacking in knowledge and too generalized and in a perspective mostly recent politics… I don’t want to be too harsh I think it’s perfectly fine to be watched for entertainment purposes 😊

To the topic of "haven't we heard enough" I see the point, to an extend. I remember back then in school we had a full year of History class with just Holocaust and Hitler, not even the war really. After a while, the shock factor was just gone and people didn't care anymore. Sounds crazy but it's the sad truth. You should do what's nessecary to keep Germans from taking part in such actions again, but that shouldn't mean we can't just accept some times that we are currently far away from that

Wow, that was very entertaining. I have always been interested in learning about the politics of different countries. I think it would be cool if people from other countries did something similar to.

Yea about that big wall with the AfD you'll NEVER know who just took over the CDU and which party is on par with the SPD right now(in polls)

I would have included the "Bildzeitungsleser" and the "Neo-Nazi". #tribe36

As a German I think the migrational background does not matter when it comes to politics here because we don't really do identity politics. Luckily we differentiate between political opinion and identity. Most people don't identify with a particular party but will vote for different parties and candidates throughout their lives. We also don't really care about the private lives of politicians as long as they don't do anything criminal. A German politician says "this is what my opinion is and this is what I think is right" and barely ever (unlike in other countries) follows that up with a "because I am *insert age, religion, ethnic group, gender, etc.*". It's not something we do here and let's hope we won't start doing that because judging by other countries that does not seem to lead to any fruitful discussions ever 😅

About “conspiracy theorists” and “Reichsbürgers” to be exact. We have those in Russia too, however they are thinking that USSR still exists on paper due to disbelief in some paperwork from 1991 when the dissolution happened. They have their own communities, have huge beef with police, showing them Soviet passports, arguing about the existence of USSR and blah blah blah. (By the way those communities mentioned before they actually sell certificates which say that you are officially have Soviet citizenship, while in really it’s worth nothing)

i realy wanna enforce the fact that the ddr wa never communist. not even actually socialist. its a western generalization on the eastern blick that only sees one part: The Planned economy. it really is a society of planned econnomy and some (not as well executed) minor aspects of socialism

Man, even German conspiracy theorists are more organized. Here in the US our 'sovereign citizens' can never seem to figure out what they want to believe - and change it every couple minutes to suit whatever specific issue they're facing at the time.

Afd 🇩🇪💪

I was gonna say smth about the extremists part, but then I remembered, that just recently, the german police discovered and shut down an attempt at a coup, which sought to reinstate a king or Kaiser.

32:56 the wahl-o-mat is also an expression of German gesture for structure and order. I fully agree that this is indeed a great distraction from real politics because the tool just looks up the answers to a set of questions in the election programs and in reality you can write there whatever you wish without any consequences because we never have a one-partie-government and not complying to your plans can therefore always be excused by compromise within a coalition government.

30:06 indeed in Germany some ethnic groups like citizens with Turkish routes are addressed by their "origin countries" and vote in Germany during the "origin land elections" and now e.g. turkey is working on establishing a partie in Germany

A german political youtuber who is making non-polarized and friendly videos with reasonable takes? The mitte likes!

Seeing this from Denmark being suprised st how few right wing wlng psrties there are Lik in demark there is 3 or 4 depending on whl you ask on the left and 5 to 8 depending on who you ask ok the right wing

I would say party soldier was represented wrong. Party Members are people of a certain party, who are highly politicised and have a strong preference. Party soldiers are similar, but will defent their party to the last second and in every single topic. They don't realy criticise their party ever. Their mostly in bigger party's (CDU, SPD, Greens, FDP) I would say. Party Members are different in the way that they in general don't support their t party in every situation and can criticise it. The Left (the party) often fights with itself and Members of that party often criticise their leadership. Some even vote for different partys, because they feal betrayed by their party or because another party is doing the thing they want better

12:10 "Will the AfD actually gain power? Maybe some day but not now." Well I guess that day might've come

Hey Lucas, I heard about the floods in Bavaria and how Hubert Aiwanger is apparently blaming his failure on his brother. Do you think the CSU will still ally with them after the next election?

To be honest, theres three Definition for social justice. The first being the american one The Second being the economic one And the Third You say to your friend when a nazi Rally is in your town "time for some social justice"

You mentioned the English and New Zealand Labor parties without showing the Australian Labor Party. This is the most outrageous part of the video

47:28 gotta love the small dig at the "BILD Zeitung" lmao "Dirt"; "criminal foreigners out for your money"; "ANGRY TITS" I can’t 😂

7:29 I find it very interesting, because on one hand we have these super conservative people in Bavaria and on the other my generation (people around 18) are mostly against that. I mean look at the anti right protest in Munich that was expecting like 100.000 people but got 300.000 instead. I feel a big disconnect there, although I do love Bavaria and Munich and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else lol

As a Dutchie it's always interesting to see how Germans are so similar and different at the same time especially "die mitte" is something that we share al be it slight different here with our "doe normaal" cultuur

DDR>>>>brd

You don't need to climb the ranks if you join Volt. You just need to be motivated, be a nice person and broadly align with our values. One of the first things I was asked was if strive to be a candidate in the future (I was 18, when I joined BTW, in other parties I'd probably have to wait for another 18 years before I get out of the youth organizations and actually get heard by the other party members). I am pretty sure it's a similar story for other parties when regarding more local politics.

the GDRs economy did not "crash and fail", it was stripped and dismantled entirely. it wasn't even in any kind of debt that would cause any serious issues, the west german economy is in a worse shape right now than the GDR has ever been. you're really not educated on that topic and are just throwing around myths you picked up without investigating them.

Those who go onto FFF protests are actually no climate doomers. Climate doomers are those who say that we shouldn't do anything about climate change because we allegedly don't have the power to change it. Actually some studies actually have shown, that nowadays the advocates for green politics tend to be more optimistic regarding the future of climate change than the voters of other parties

awesome video

The afd one didn't age quite so well,

BRUDER BITTE MEHR UPLOADS WIR MACHEN DICH GROß!!!!

AFD is not far right

Some people say Russia before 2022 was a better place, but that may only be nostalgia of course

😯

#tribe36 personally, I'm part of the science-focused group

42:05 Interesting, I wonder what made you remove the beard from the original image (as we can see it on the monitor compared to the in-video thumbnail). I don't particularly care, but it is curious to know what thought process made you do that.

Absolutely love the illustrations, it’s great to put a human face to politics, think it would help a lot of people to find politics more relatable and engaging

19:11 holy shit, Germany has Sovereign Citizens
