As usual, a superb piece of analysis in a superbly constructed video. Let us hope that the views .... and the "likes" will grow quickly.
Slovenia is in ECB, can't you make a single video without making a map mistake like really how hard is that, these are not historical maps!
@@Joso997 Pozdravi. You missed Luxembourg but nothing has any business being perfect.
Why censor my comments about German history being aligned with Russia and anti-Polish?
It will always remain funny to me how the left is worried about democratic elections when the people are voting for different parties than the left.
Give up, you are losing, most people do not want a left winged government anymore. Stop complaining about it all the bloody time.
I am an Senior R&D Project manager for a German multinational. I can tell first hand that bureaucratic red tape is forcing us to relocate most of our business. Most of the regulations on chemical business are so strict that it is no longer possible to do innovation, let alone set up production, in several key areas. If saving the environment is the goal it is self defeating: you make regulations so strict that companies are relocated just across the boarder, with externalities coming right back. Or even worse, relocate in countries with no regulations at all, making it worse for the environment as a whole. When, in think-tanks you try to explain this, you are met by a bunch of jurists that lack the basic technical understanding in the fields they are regulating upon.
This is just the start. Complying with bureaucratic requirements starts to cost more than the rest of the development process combined, without any real tangible benefit for the consumer, safety and the environment. Having this coming from parties that then caused Germany to increase reliance on coal because of an irrational fear of nuclear is, to put it mildly, infuriating.
There is nothing more efficient at killing the German industry than German regulations.
If you vote for people who said it by themselves that they hate this country, its no wonder. Who would ve thought...
That is the comunist take over. You regulate until the system freezes and stops functioning. Then you blame it on the system and call for a revolution, a red one. Then you let all regulations on pollution go and set up the industry to serve the red system's expansion. Simple. Your elite is red. You're f*cked like pretty much every european but you happen to be more "advanced" in the process of red f*ck up.
Then you have to go abroad and pollute the environment there? Oh, Tesla has now done the same in Germany.
@@arnodobler1096 First off: Tesla did complain, quite vocally, on the environmental impact restrictions Germany imposed, despite all the subsidies. Second, tesla could not commercially put up a battery production plant because of the restrictions.
Moreover, if you care reading, I did specifically mentioned chemical business (and I could throw in materials and most semiconductors as well).
15% of the Bundestag are lawyers in the past it was even more. They love regulation.
Actualy even jobs for unskilled labor are open in Germany
even in East Germany
the problem is that our wellfare system outright penalises you financialy for taking a low salary job
that's why so few Ukrainians work there
Did you say LIGNITE???? Surely Germany, one of the largest pushers of green energy, didn’t choose to shut down several nuclear power plants in favour of lignite, one of the highest polluting types of coal.
That is exactly what Germany, under CDU leadership and complicit SPD did. Energy transition was sabotaged by nimbies and coal lobbies. Russian gas was cheap. Green tech patents were sold to China. Despite this Merkel was celebrated as a climate leader. Go figure.
hahahah
that's what happens with leftists in power
@@likeAG6likeAG6 hahah leftists are so stupid oh my god right, they can't do anything right, we enlightend right wing are so much smarter and only we should be allowed to vote, my sides omg hahahah
and they're totally so goddamn stupid for wanting to move to clean energy sources, and responsible for those circumstances that demand more energy right now. And in emergencies you don't really have other options than to use infrastructure you just need to bring back online, which just so happens to use fossil fuels
@@likeAG6likeAG6That's what happens if Idiots are in power. Don't even start to pretend the "other side" would have done it better.
@@likeAG6likeAG6 That's the response of one with no need to really understand anything. If only everything was so simple as to blame the other guy. They tried that a ways back ya know? Shows how the rot has entered your mind.
Really, This is what happens when you let Russia spur the agenda of the Green party. They just wanted Germany forever needing Russian natural gas. The public was also deeply affected by Russia's most successful campaign against Hydraulic Fracturing (fracking) in Europe. It would have put them much better position by today..
And these guys shut down their nuclear power plants too...
Nuclear power plants only accounted for a few percent of the electricity supply. About a tenth of renewable energy.
@@arnodobler1096 I guess that means they should just give up on it and go all in on coal then
@@cupidsfavouritecherub9327 No, but the previous conservative government unfortunately overlooked the expansion of renewable energies. Then we would be at well over 45% today. Which is top compared to other countries, but there is a lot of room for improvement. We had a thriving solar industry in Germany.
Nuclear power was indeed only a few percentile points of the supply, but wouldn't it have been preferable to keep those percentiles alongside the political will to invest in more renewable sources? Backpedalling to coal and gas isn't a good step, it just isn't.
@@arnodobler1096a solar industry that can't compete without subsidiaries and tariffs in a country not known for 150+ days of sun per year. That isn't a nation suited to solar but Germany has massively helped the overall cost of global solar come down faster than it otherwise would have. Thank you for that.
10:00 We finally did it guys! The ROC has retaken the mainland!! I always knew the communists would lose in the end.
Upon further inspection, it looks like Taiwan was lost during the reclamation of the mainland. Those pesky communists always manage to hold out somewhere.
That is a based map, and I hope its inclusion was intentional.
Took half a century but it's back, baby!
I remember seeing footage of German politicians literally laughing at Trump when he warned them not to be reliant in Russian energy. You reap what you sow.
If we are being honest, Russia is still a reliable energy supplier. Germans were the ones who stopped buying.

Me, an italian: bro if germany burpcracy scare you, you should see the real hell..our burocracy lmao
The whole state of the EU is responsability of German policies in the last decade and a half. After the 2008 crisis the radical austerity policies mainly enforced by Germany across the EU degraded public services and the welfare state, all just to favour German banks. The necessary measures to protect the poorer strata were forgotten during that crisis and today we have a bigger gap between the rich and the poor, favouring resentment, insecurity, etc. Germany always blocked France's ambitions for geopolitical automony of the EU in the world, Germany's crush of the smaller economies like Greece with strict conditions and bailouts triggered the British natural suspicition of an imperial Germany (putting more fuel into Brexit), Germany ignored the calls from Poland and the Baltics regarding the energy dependence from Russia (jeopardizing the security of Poland, the Baltics and Germany itself), Germany ignored the the struggles being faced by Greece and Italy during the Mediterranean refugee crisis, fueling the growth of xenophobia across the continent. Germany is by far the most selfish country in the EU and in its path, dooming us all.
yes, sadly you are absolutely right about us. I hope we will change
Everyone forgets it is Greeces own fault the state they are in. The government back in the early 2000s lied that they met the conditions for joining the eurozone and when the 2008 financial crisis came along, Greece collapsed. Germany bailed Greece out under stricts conditions
Why didn't Poland make itself independent of Russian gas? Do they need German permission for that? I don't think so.
What are you talking about,? Wealth inequality in much of Europe hasn't increased in the last 15 years. This kind of feels like sentiments from other parts of the world where wealth inequality did increase, like the USA.
In response to the issue of 2008, it was eventually decided the EU needed to be reformed as well. This is why during the Covid pandemic the same problem did not reoccur, finance systems had been improved so that such a debt crisis wasn't remotely as easy to start again. A change for the better obviously, even if the original crisis shouldn't have happened either.
Still, what is important is if an organization is still capable of self improvement, acknowledging mistakes and correcting course. And as for instance the financial crisis demonstrated, the EU at least does that. Certainly it has done better then a fair few other places abroad in that respect.
Also... you're overstating the level of power Germany has in the EU, Germany can not do remotely that much, always it has had many other countries that had similar views. Just as after the various disasters have happened, Germany and others admitted fault and have been changing course. Truly selfish are those places that ignore fault and continue bad policies because it happens to favor the narrow few.
Moral of the story. Deutschland Über Alles purchases F-35s to rearm while moving high value industry to the US. And they buy US fracking gas after Unkel Sam blew the pipeline.
It's truly amusing to see the so called powerful Germany shooting itself in the foot while crawling to lick the boots of the US with passion.
This is just my subjective opinion, but I don't think there's a lack of skilled labor in Germany. There's a "lack" of CHEAP skilled labor, as far as companies are concerned. People just don't want to work for pocket change, and remote work since the pandemic has opened up a lot of opportunities to instead be paid what you are worth elsewhere.
In French high tech industry near Switzerland, it's the Pipeline. They find the best young slightly above average IQ men, train them to become top skilled machine operators, pay them 2x the wage of similar jobs in less prosperous companies. And then at 30 years old, the best ones move to Switzerland where they get another 2x wage increase. The merely good enough remain in the French high tech company.
The problem with the Pipeline is that truly capable people are rare. Among those we train, 50% are so trash and we dump them back to the 1x companies. 30% are barely decent but we have no choice but to keep them at 2x wage. 10% are good and stay with the 2x wage. 10% are very good and move to the 4x Switzerland companies.
The thing is, increasing wages would only prevent the 10% of the very good from the leaving.
The problem isn't the wage but the fundamentally low IQ population who can't learn.
If we increase massively wages, all we would do is canibalise the technician or engineers to turn them into skilled machine operators. But we also struggle to get those profiles too.
The reason wages don't increase is that there is a fundamental lack of smart enough people ... The only true solution is to crush paperwork for reasonably smart office workers to become skilled machine operators instead of skilled EU Norm Handlers. As long as those people are needed for EU paperwork, there just aren't smart people left in the wild.
The fundamental problem is that 50% of the French population just isn't capable of becoming a skilled machine operator. And at least in high tech companies like ours, we have no need for masses of unskilled labour. China does it better for cheaper.
That's why immigration is good for the business and bad for the nation.
Immediate labor relief helps the business while a lack of labor forces peoples to re-evaluate and repopulate or face extinction. No government wants to cease to exist because the people they govern decide to go extinct, so it is a governments best course of action to create favorable means for immigration.
One of the biggest problems Germany has is the CDU and Merz. The CDU has made a lot of decisions in the past that have led us to the situation we have now. For example, in response to the decreasing AfD voting base due to the significant democratic protests we are experiencing, Merz suggested forming a coalition with the Green Party. The Green Party was his political adversary before, and he knew that conservative voters would be reluctant to vote for the CDU if it formed a coalition with them. This was an act of mass manipulation in the hope that the AfD's voting base would rise again, allowing democratic voters to lean more towards strategically voting for the CDU, as it is still the only democratic party polling higher than the AfD.
The downward spiral started with Kohl in the 90s when he absolutely butchered the re-unification in benefit of some rich people.
Then it did spead up with Merkel, who embezzled the pension funds of millions in benefit of saving banksters, creating the pension dilemma Germany has. And much more.
So yes, the CDU did a big lifting to ruin this country. However, dont think the SPD and the green party do better. They re even speeding up this process with their hate they got for Germany.
Like Merkel before they flood us with mostly unskilled and criminal young men who re not wanted anymore in their homes. 30.000 each month. Thats 360.000 each year and over a million in three years. Now they give them german passports even sooner. Who do you think they vote for? The guys who give them money for nothing of course.
And the ruling parties are rapidly de-industrializing and de-motorizing Germany "to save the climate". They throw our taxes into the refugee projects and aboart, to pay for US arms. This wont hold for long, our economy suffers big time and the spendings are huge.
If we dont get it, that by voting for people who hate this country it will go to shit, then it happens. We re full speed on the way. CDU, SPD, the greens, FDP all of them did their part in this so far. We have to take the responsibility in our own hands and need to stop to put our trust into completely corrupt politicians. But before that happens, "fliegt uns der Laden um die Ohren".
Typical conservative bullshit. Using brown shirts to scare the people to vote for the "lesser evil."
In many more ways. A lot of the stuff that affects us now is the result of policy enacted by Merkel, less so the current government. Those have their own problems, but the majority of what is happening in Germany today is the result of CDU-led policy. And, on that note, if I have to choose between Scholz and Merz as chancellor, and I strongly dislike both, I'd begrudingly accept Scholz rather than Merz.
Wer konservativ ist, wählt nicht die CDU. Black Rock Knecht Merz cuckt für den WEF und die Ökosozialisten.
That was well done, didn't even need to mention Russia's war as a significant reason contributing to public discontent towards Chancellor Scholz's government. Truly, the major issues bedeviling the German economy is the lack of energy security, a large population in need of social benefits, inefficient bureaucracy, and a persistent mismatch in skills obtained against skills required in the labor market. These problems cannot be resolved overnight and may take up to a decade at this rate to reverse this sorry trend, by then many of the corporations helping to prop up the economy would have moved most of their operations overseas.
Biggest crisis YET. We still have no proper military planning and structure, and looking at the world right now there could be a way worse crisis just around the corner we are even worse prepared for.
better learn to speak Russian
Military threats are not among the top 10 threats to Germany. They are all internal, economic or related to climate change.
If Germany 🇩🇪, which is the economic engine of Europe 🇪🇺, doesn’t grow, here in Spain 🇪🇸 we will also be affected. Especially in the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands 🇮🇨, Valencian Community and Andalusia where every year we receive many German tourists looking for sun 🌞 and beach 🏖️, since the tourism sector 🍹represents a very important part of the Spanish GDP.
Might as well start advertising and incentivising Spanish tourism in Asian countries.
sounds like germany has huge economic problem carved in constitution.... money sinkhole with immigrants, refugees, which just escalates when they call their friends to come in germany.... while they would need to help citizens with electric rates and ensure nursing, schools and military are in good condition.

Well, the EU will soon enjoy all the wonders of being a union of third world states. That's what happens when people forget how to make babies because they are too busy being selfish
True, but it might be partialy replaced with EE countries which still grow and have more money to spend. 2nd thing might be to lower prices if there will be vacancies, other tourists will come.
This is what happens when your leaders abandon the people they serve.
Thank you comrade!
Thanks Uncle Jo.
f__k u for your avatar!!! .|.
I moved to Germany about 2 years ago, and I believe that despite everything Germany has enough foundations to overcome this crisis
I am an German and I have lived in Germany all my life.... Don't count on the PR about Germany. Look around and if things turn south keep a bag packed to be ready to find success else where. Its what I would do especially with the far right AFD getting more and more votes. Remember what happened last time when the NAZIs got power. Germany is not a paradise and it never was.
Why dont you tell the Americans to fall back in line, or be alone. While they are preaching this big battle of democracy they suck everyone dry. And not even deliver in Ukraine. Its high time to have a honest conversation with them about what it means to be an ally.@@Omicon
If English were the no.1 language in Germany, it would result be the number 1 economy in the world.
german society is weak i doubt lmfao
We Germans have survived so many crises, even better. Oil crisis in the 70s, reunification in the 90s, world crisis thanks to the USA in 2008/9. In 2024 we became the 3rd largest economy in the world.
The funny thing is that the solution is actually very simple and once again are the same ones that apply to most economies across the globe:
1. Allow for the construction and expansion of nuclear power plants to drastically reduce energy costs.
2. Cut the excessive red tape and make it much easier for companies to hire and fire and to bring talent from abroad. Also stop burdening people with crazy bureaucracy when they work there or start a company there, the stories I’ve heard of friends and relatives dealing with German red tape give me nightmares.
3. Drastically cut the excessive welfare given to ‘refugees’ that are not in refuge of anything but rather just going to Germany to get benefits with no intention of ever integrating into the culture nor workforce. Have a stronger vetting system so that you only accept as much as possible real refugees actually escaping war or other inhumane conditions and deport and block entry to all economic refugees. Also important to vet their criminal record as increasing crime is also a problem plaguing Germany.
4. Reduce taxes, corporate income taxes but most importantly, drastically reduce personal income taxes (which are amongst the highest in the globe). This will easily make salaries in Germany far more competitive. Westerners aren’t moving to Riyadh because of how much they love the culture there, but because high salaries with no taxes are insanely attractive, Germany is a beautiful country with an amazing culture, if you drop taxes and make net salaries competitive (alongside cutting red tape) people will flock there.
Boom done. Except no, it won’t be done and Germany will continue down its current path. Oh well 🤷🏼♂️
I think our main problem is idiology-based decision making: from shutting down nuclear plants to the refugee crisis to the amount of money we spent on social welfare.
Sadly not thinking this will change soon, so I'm learning a fourth language (german, English, French and now spanish) just in case...
No need to learn French really, we are fleeing too.
Honestly, I see more and more people in France move to the US, Singapore, Russia or Poland. For respectively Empire center of power/Libertarian paradise/Imperial ambition without the decadence/Peaceful Christian country that isn't africanised.

@@bascanu1 You would be surprised, but Russia is extremely popular in France.

@@Bvic3 I can already speak French, learned it in school. Even if I'm not moving there, there may still be a business with connections to there. So speaking the language can't hurt
It's obvious that Germany is in a bit of a turmoil politically and economically, but equating the Afd with the nazis is very irresponsible and insincere. You could almost call it dangerous. It's a political-emotional appeal to trigger a specific kind of emotional response to smear your political opponents on the left and many ruling parties. I'm not personally a supporter of such european parties, but to completely try to dismiss them as "nazis" and some other emotionally appealing smear words, is only going to exasperate the political problem. They are essentially going to try to silence a very large majority of the whole population and what people expect that those people will end up feeling and doing? They will learn that no peaceful political solution is available nor that they would be listened or taken into account. This is the danger. Often the reactions for problems are the real danger, rather than the problems themselves.
Climate hysteria destroyed Germany. You guys aren't the world's saviour lol
They are on the far-right and have extremist components. There are differences to the Nazis, sure.. but that's a very academic discussion. They don't need to match the Nazis 100% for any democratically thinking person to reject them.
Their policies don't even benefit their main voter base. It's just misinformation and populism on the back of decades long neo-con politics. It's the same crap that got Brexit through.
@@zorrosdog6557 You guys? I'm not German. And yeah, I would agree and add that their ideological savior complex ruins Germany.
The AFD were caught planning to deport German citizens who were originally immigrants or descended from immigrants. There are many credible links between senior AFD figures and neo Nazi movements. They are actually that bad in intent - you shouldn't have to wait until after they have successfully enacted policies worse than the Nazis to be able to draw comparisons.
@@pekka1900This savior complex got spread among the people by the media and the people buy this bs...
The green and SPD politicians on the other hand use this to destroy the country they hate so much. Many of them said it by themselves.
Germany has done so many stupid things that I struggle to feel bad for it.
You mean the parents and grandparents of the older generations. Nations are made of people.

They always feel "superior" to any other culture, especially Slavic
We have too many hopelessly demeted people who think that with voting for people who hate our country they save the worlds climate...
Well having years of leftist governments in power will do that to any nation. They don’t care if the flush the country down the drain just as long as they can feel good about themselves and boast to their friends about how “progressive” they are.
@@user-uf5vi5mg9eAre you stupid?
I have come to Germany 5 years ago from another EU state, and I am planing to go back as soon as possible.
Me and my wife are both working and earning above average, but taxation and bureaucracy is suffocating.
Also I am pessimistic about non stop influx of unskilled and in many cases uncivilized masses (I used to volunteer for Red Cross at immigration centers, so I know what I am talking about).
@@tim8485 Humans are tribal, nature has designed animals(to include humans) to live within their own social structures, environment and culture. History has shown forced integration of the human animal especially without proper assimilation to be problematic and extremely violent. And it has destroyed various empires. The political élite and their owners don't act in the regard of those they were elected to represent. They act to prop up a economic Ponzi scheme of various fiat currencies which allow the control of humans through economic means. I predict it will end badly, and it is starting to show.

I'm kinda surprised you didn't mention the elephant in the room: Demographic change.
Regardless of the truth, Geopolitics channels have to tread carefully to avoided being labelled “right wing” and being suppressed by YT.
from where?
Current fertility rate of Germany is 1.6 children per woman (including immigrants) it's an outright demographic collapse. It was even lower in 1990s and 2000s, around 1.3 mark.
Try Peter Zeihan
@@Thesomersetgimp A number of YT channels have successfully highlighted the challenges of declining fertility rates that don't fall into the usual bullshit far-right natalist tropes.
Very good analysis!
I also think that Scholz is maybe the most indecisive chancellor we ever had; he tends to keep things "as is" and struggles to take hard, but necessary action.
Germany will get out of this slump eventually, but we're losing valuable time, sadly. Not all is lost, but we're taking completely unnecessary losses.
Tbh, Merkel was simmilarly indecisive, but she hadn't have to deal with nearly as many or as comlicated crisies.
The difference was that Merkel did not face a budget problem and could just throw money on every problem@@cahdoge

You have a point lol

Other options that are highly debatable are:
Ban abortion (exceptions could be made in case of rape), the age to be a mother in the GDR jumped up by 10 years when abortion became legal there.

lowering kindergarten places
invest in propaganda for being parents

@@torvidbente7889 sounds like a nice country to live in, almost as nice as Russia or NK :)
@@torvidbente7889 Russia is trying to be draconian about women having kids, but failing. Some Asian countries are trying to increase incentives to promote birthrate, but they are failing. France is using immigration to mask their own ailing birthrate. Even nice states like Scandinavian ones are bellow the magical 2.1 mark and slowly dwindling.
Probably what made birthrate crash was urbanization and women's freedom. Big cities in poor nations usually have low birthrate and only because their countryside % is bigger that they birthrates are above 2. Once women taste freedom, they are less likely to want to form big families (3+ kids) or even want families at all. It is really hard to sell to a 50% voting block changes in their freedom in exchange for making babies. Abortion is a highly divisive policy as is and it wouldn't be enough. We would need to slash even more freedom from women.
Even in African nations with high birth rate, once urbanization and making women work in the workforce happen, their birth rate will crate. We already see it in India.
The only way to do it without being too forceful are probably rejuvenate the countryside, make a 1 parent job enough to provide for the whole family, and possibly change capitalism in a way that won't incentivize both parents to work to get ahead. And even with these radical changes, it may take more than 1 generation to see some changes.
Another way is to take benefits from the elder and use these resources on the youth. Because the way voting blocks work in a democracy, people will not vote for such changes and keep moving the burden to the dwindling next generation who has no voting power.
To reverse birth rate requires systemic changes to everyone in a society, but nobody really wanna pay the price for these changes.
Outstanding Reporting!
Talking about Germany without mentioning it's terrible dysgenic demographic situation leaves a whole lot out of the picture

@GoodTimesBadTimes The clip at 17:22 is from Copenhagen central station
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
AFD brought up an issue that the rest of the political space in Germany was refusing to look at.
What they should have done was take note of this new issue and cater to voters concerned about it.
They did not, instead they doubled down and made it worse. And are now suffering the consequences.
Literally what did they bring up aside from picking scapegoats? Certainly not solutions.
But AFD is turning from radical to extreme. They are mostly conspiracy stupid (covid and Putin). They will be replaced by CDU or Werteunion or both soon.
Correct!
And for those not involved in German politics, we are not talking about extremely radical position.
Germany simply has not enough money anymore to pay for all social niceties that the various political parties want. At the same time we have shortage of labour(!) Yes, a SHORTAGE of labour in a recession!
Accepting refugees is a nice thing to do, allowing people to retire early is nice, paying generous social benefit to the "unempployable" is nice. But it keeps people away from the job market, which we desperately need now.
At them same time cost of living has jumped triggered to a large part by environmental regulations, or more correctly by "regulation creep" of which a lot is fostered by environmentalism.
German needs to do something brutal to the social system if it wants to survive. This includes the government investing into social housign massively and at the same time forcing more people into the jib market.
Quite the opposite. The AfD tried to put immigration as a problem on the agenda, and they were successful because the other parties fell for it and tried to address these concerns. Thus, they shifted the focus away from the actual concerns like energy prices and housing, where they had good plans to deal with these real problems, and gave the arena to the AfD by focusing on a made up immigration crisis, where there is very little that needs to be fixed and has not yet been set into motion. That was extremely stupid, and Merz was one of the main culprits. Germany had never refused to look at the refugee and immigration situation in the first place, the AfD managed to make it look at mainly only that. The strategy you would advice is what the did, and it predictably failed, as it has always failed historically speaking. You cannot make a one issue party go away by addressing the issue as your main focus. You have to address it quietly and focus public attention on the problems that are associated with your competencies instead.
AfD would be a decent enough party if it was less pro-Russia. Russia has nothing to provide but cheap energy for manufacturing, though no one would buy these products if Germany alienated its European allies.
Nice!
and they are deploying the same shitty model across the whole europe (eco -nightmare) + bureaucracy at every level + huge involvement in social topics + huge involvement in private environment + regulations over /after regulations + very very high taxes, we see the same mistakes taken in Romania as well

3:04: In your map it looks like Saarland has been annexed by Rhineland Palatinate. Last time I checked, it was still there. Also, Luxembourg is part of the Eurozone.
IMO the comparison with the Weimar state is misleading. The Nazi party vote was more or less evenly distributed across Germany in 1932 with around 34% on average (there were three outlying regions Prussia, Silesia, and North-West Germany with 47.5%, 43%, and 47.5% respectively). In contrast, the AFD vote is mainly concentrated in the former GDR states. The problematic East-West integration after the fall of the wall has greatly contributed to the current political polarisation. BTW: You talked mainly about large corporations - 56% of workers in Germany are employed by SMBs, and 99% of all German companies are SMBs.
Both AFD and NSDAP have/had stronger support in atheistic and protestant regions over catholic

This guy usually is full of shit so not surprised lol
Certain potential steps appear relatively straightforward to me, for instance:
- Re-opening nuclear power plants could help stabilize and reduce energy prices.
- Lowering support for unemployed people would motivate them more to work.
- Long-term unemployed immigrants could be deported by a new migration policy.
- Streamlining bureaucratic processes could attract additional investments.
If Germany wants to get stronger and take on the AfD, the government needs to be more decisive and pragmatic imo.
But nuclear electricity isn't cheap and base loade electricity isn't the issue - electricity prices are also not formed by simple supply and demand but by merid order cheap to expensiv source i.e. high gas prices push up electricity prices.
Except for your last point, everything is AfD shit

There are a myriade of reasons, why the populist policies you suggested won't work:
- you can't just reopen new NPPs in Germany. You'd basically have to build new ones at this point. Good luck finding one energy provider willing to run them without being subsisied to the moon and back. It's way more costefficient to invest into renewables and storage.
- unemployment in Germany was at 6.1% this February. Less then 35% of that are long-term unemployed. So there are ~4% short-term and ~2% longterm unemployed. The USA are running a similar statisitc with ~2% short-term and ~2% long-term. Simply "forcing them to work" won't do anything. SInce they most likely need extensive training (the famed "Fachkräftemangel") and might also have other reasons like health-problems.
- Many of those people are asylum seekers. Those can't be deported willy nilly. Even better, most of them aren't even allowed to work. So yeah, there the constitiution gets in the way. Integrating people like this into the work pool would probably be a more effcient way to deal with them but needs policies, that back that up.
- calling for "less bureaucracy" is way to vague. Since exactly where to reduce administrative brriers is a key elemnt of policies.

I see a lot of comments already that are talking about as if they knew what is going on, or that already point their finger at "that side" and blame them for everything bad that may or may not have happened in the past while implying the "other side" would have done it differently/better.
If you want to change something for the better, than do it yourself. You can begin with yourself. Eat healthier, hit the gym, keep yourself fit, clean you room, pick up the trash, *carry your trash until you find a trashcan* (I've been cleaning a park in my Hometown recently, and I'm going to do so again. You can do that too in your area), etc.
Change begins with you.
Incrementalists be like:
You can't be serious? Pick up the trash, keep yourself fit is not a starter for change, it is a normal thing. Blaming surely won't help, but at least naming problems and analyzing them to seek for solution can help. You have to think bigger: We need more qualified workers (Doctors, engineers, craftman ect.), better education, better politician, reforms in laws and a lot more. Cleaning a park will have no real impact on the problems.

This is just another example of the ongoing to challenge to the establishment parties. The phenomenon follows the same pattern:
1. The party of government (most commonly elected to a majority), in this case the CDU, is too squishy, and is threatened from the Right. This is compounded by its traditional opponent, the SPD, being threatened by the Greens.
2. The party of government attempts to isolate the insurgent party (the AfD) and refuses to revert on policies like immigration and energy.
3. The insurgent party eventually becomes so large that they must be taken seriously. They are almost always socially conservative and fiscally liberal. This is the opposite of the elite class of politicians who are socially liberal and fiscally conservative.
"Coalition between the SPD and the CDU/CSU" Talk about dystopian. Imagine voting for a left or right party and they just end up making a coalition.
During the Merkel era there used to be constant jokes that the SPD and CDU are basically the same party. The CDU is currently trying to get back to their conservative roots and it seems like they are doing the right thing since they have a major lead in the polls
Not hard to imagen at all if you take into account that the CDU is actually center-left. They are conservative in name only.

I take it this is a form of sarcasm?
@@bratbrata4974 Bingo
Yes, 16 years of messed up
I'm Polish. The period when Merkel was in power coincided with Tusk's rule.
Previously, before 2006, the government of the right-wing coalition had a project of a pipe on the bottom of the Baltic Sea from Norway. It's about gas. It was torpedoed by the SLD government (social democracy with political roots from the period of dependence on the USSR).
During the years of the Merkel/Tusk government, we received reassuring media messages that the NS project was ok and that relations with Russia should be reset, because it is a new pro-European Russia. Once it was built, construction of NS2 began. All of Central Europe started shouting that it would end badly. And that's it.
Now that Germany got its ass kicked and nothing came of being a dealer of Russian gas, it turns out that all of Europe has to switch to heat pumps. And who produces the most of these pumps in the EU? There is also outrage over the Siemens case in Poland. Poland is building huge windmill fields in the Baltic Sea. After a coalition dependent on Germany took power in Poland, a German company with a name starting with S won the tender... and in addition, EU money for this project was unblocked, the money that was blocked due to the "lack of rule of law" in Poland.
How can you not love Germans and the officials in the EU who depend on them?

Mein Freund, Ich kann dir mit absoluter Gewissheit sagen, dass diese angebliche Krise nicht nur herbeigeredet ist. Ich kenne sehr viele Unternehmer, Führungskräfte, Ingenieure, Landwirte und allgemein erfolgreiche Leute, die alle dasselbe sagen: Dieses Land fährt sich gegen die Wand. Bürokratie, Steuerlast, Fachkräftemangel, Politik gegen die Bürger auf allen Ebenen. Und das sind keine AFD-Wähler, keine Rechtsextremisten, keine Reaktionären Menschen im allgemeinen. Das sind hart arbeitende Leute, die sich ihren Wohlstand über Jahrzehnte aufgebaut haben. Da ich im Osten geboren und aufgewachsen bin und all diese Leute auch Ostdeutsche sind, kennen sie staatliche Bevormundung, Ausbeutung, Einschränkung und vor allem wirtschaftlichen Misserfolg nur zu gut. Sie alle müssen seit 2020 und eigentlich schon davor zu sehen, wie die Politik ihre Arbeit zunichte macht, ihr das Geld aus den Taschen zieht und es Flüchtlingen, anderen Ländern und Organisationen nur so zuwirft. Die Stimmung ist sehr angespannt und sehr viele Ostdeutsche fühlen sich an das Ende der DDR erinnert. Hinzu kommt die gesamte woke Agenda, zu der sich jeder normal arbeitende Mensch nur an den Kopf fassen kann. Kein Wunder, dass die meisten Arbeiter inzwischen AFD wählen (siehe statista zur Landtagswahl in Hessen). Und nein, wir werden definitiv nicht in 5-10 Jahren wirtschaftlich so gut darstehen, wenn es so weiter geht. Die Sozialabgaben werden steigen, die Kosten für alles mögliche werden steigen, die Staatsausgaben werden immer mehr auf Schuldentilgung hinausgehen, der Lebensstandard wird sinken, das Land zerfällt in Stagnation. Das ist die Realität. Und die sozialen Spannungen werden nur steigen.

0.4% decline is not bad, it's a chance to recalibrate and reconsolidate to rebound as a more efficient economy successfully decoupled from imperialist Russia.
The problem is that the decline is unlikely to stop. Even if Germany actually decouples from Russia (which they haven't, plenty of sanctions evasion going on) they will reemerge as a less productive country in a less productive EU. What we're seeing is the transition of Germany from being a production-focused state with a working age population to a consumption-focused state with a retirement age population. They can't import enough immigrants to paper over the labor pool deficit nor would they even want to. I predict a region by region disintegration of Germany over the next few decades as various states go their own way and form their own blocs with other countries. Perhaps Bavaria aligns with Austria while the former East Germany aligns with the Baltics or Nordic countries, you get the picture. The point is, the center can't hold for much longer.
It's a small decline, but generally speaking countries plan on and rely on growth..

Shoelessjoe: I think the many immigrants/refugees has a lot to do with the chaos the US and UK chaos after the wars in Irak and Afghanistan. Before this we had not this problem.
The population decline and aging demographics of Europe, specifically Germany, have a lot more to do with the expedience of being a mass migration target. People will always look for better opportunities so there will rarely be a shortage of people seeking to emigrate from somewhere but being a first rate economy that wants people to flock to it is another matter entirely. Iraqis and Afghani people are not the primary immigrants to Europe, it’s more north African and Subsaharan muslims along with south asian and Turkish
