The 35 Faces that explain GERMAN POLITICS

Thank you to everyone who stuck around since my last video! It's been really sweet to see so many returning faces! 🤗 Obviously, I could only fit super short caricatures of these identities into one video. But you COULD write full books about every single one! So feel free to expand on anything I've said in the comments. Just be sure to remain friendly and grant other people the freedom of having their own opinion. 🫶 //Edit: I love that I've already been called a right winger, a leftist, a liberal and a socialist. Anybody wanna call me a Georgist to complete my bingo card? 😂

A tribe that died literally this month is the weed activist. They were almost everywhere

I think a group you missed is the Bildungsbürgertum. The (educational) petty elite. Teachers, professors, highly skilled proffesions like doctors, engineers and architects, civil servants or, as I notice as one myself, journalists. Usually university educated and from a family with a similar level in education. They are generally not rich, but with a good and reliable income. Concered with public matters and the 'less fortunate', they are often disconnected from people who struggle on a daily basis or only meet them in professional relationships. They are often active in local politics, church or social organisations, wanting to help in a well meaning, but patronising way. They are well informed about local and global politics. Newspaper readers, with full bookshelfs. Despite this they always are surprised when they learn that people don't concern themselves with politics or why someone would not vote in an election.

This guy is one of those Youtubers where he doesn't upload a lot but when he does upload it's an instant classic.

the real faces of the German politics where the friends we made along the way

5:07 Bavarians trying not to mention Bavaria: 💀

Seems like the Speed Limit debate in Germany has much in common with the gun debate here in the states.

2 YEAR UPLOAD SCHEDULE, WE ARE SO BACK

If my math works out, given the current rate of videos and the increase in length, we can expect a 5:14:58 long video in approximately 2 years

The speed limit debate in Germany, is the German version of the banning firearms debate in the USA.

Lucas. With only two, now three videos, you've cemented yourself as one of my favorite political commentators on YouTube. I've watched your videos numerous times and I'm sure this new one will be no different. Please make more.

An interesting addition to the Bavarian is the fact that the three women shown as examples here are conservative, green-progressives and liberal respectively. While Bavaria is a conservative state, a very obvious one at that, this kind of Bavarian identity is compatible with basically every political ideology. By itself it’s not really a political statement at all. Conservatives tend to lean into their Bavarian identity in a different way though. Especially talking down to other states is more or less exclusively a conservative thing.

3:30 As a greek myself, I totally agree. Fun fact: The Greeks are not actually THAT lazy, in fact, they're the people who have the most work hours a week in all of europe... Though that probably just shows we arent payed nearly enough and we need to resort to working a lot😎💪😎🇬

Where are my "railway enthusiasts/infrastructurists"? 😂

Bavaria is German Texas

In Portuguese, "Justiça Social" (Social Justice, literally) has the German rather than American meaning - it's about people having the income to live with dignity, fighting hunger, providing public education and healthcare... A famous quote by left-wing economist Maria da Conceição Tavares: "If you are not concerned with justiça social, with those that have to pay their bills, you are no serious economist - you're a technocrat!"

5:30 So many of the stereotypes of Gemany today, are Bavarian, mainly because the American occupation zone was mainly in Bavaria. The soldiers brought the ideas they saw back home, and the US is, of course, the dominant influencer of world culture.
