      Germans, if interested in History, are interested in History, not in German History. Every Countys History is connected to the History of the whole World, so if you want to understand the Past, the Present and the Future you have to abondon the thought of national History.

      well, this was a very serious topic presented in a funny way. The question was: why is america seen as the bad guy in more and more countries? we're the good guys, leader of the free world and stuff. Why does nobody believe us any more when we tell em? 1) Well, you made a claim.
      You have been weighed.
      You have been measured.
      And you have absolutely
      Been found wanting.
      Welcome to the New World. God save you, if it is right that He should do so.
      2) Actions have consequences. Play stupid games...win stupid prizes. What we have seen in this clip is that America favors short term solutions for problems without ever thinking about the long term impact. This is like playing poker when the rest of the world is playing chess. and not just chess, 4d chess. This is called realpolitics. It's basically asking: what can we do to solve this problem RIGHT NOW? Who can we use? That is why america does not have any friends. let that one sink in. america may be germany's friend, but germany is not america's friend. they are just - more or less - temporary allies that can be used to further america's goals. does "Coalition of the willing" ring a bell?
      3)history repeats itself. what happened with Mossadeq in Iran the us government tried to do again in venezuela. And again, it was all about the oil. And of course the power to dictate who the people can and cannot elect. the venezuelan people can't just elect a socialist president without us approval. the nerve, how dare they!

      I guess thanks for the raisin bombers, but we all know you just didn’t want us to become commies and you wanted a nicely far away theatre for the war with the soviets.
      And yes. We may be “friends” because quite often, our ideals align, but the apart from the most naive goody two shoes, I can’t imagine any person declaring real friendship with the US, when it’s international politics have always been the least refined, stupid, aggressive, openly careless, etc..
      Now nothing against the people. But I personally and most others I know would consider the USA somewhat of a hypercapitalistic China, that only somewhat works as a “democracy”(that voting system) because it doesn’t have 1.4 billion people.
      Sorry, but You’re writing Human Resources with a small h and an all caps “OIL”.
      As you said. They were found lacking. But it doesn’t matter who I ask (politically speaking). Doesn’t matter if its a social democrat or or the christian union or even the Afd guys from my hometown…
      All across the spectrum, be they radicalised or not I’ve seen people unite in their view of the USA as a country. Those who love the US tend to be radicalised idiots without their own opinion that tend to come back after living in the US for exactly as long as they don’t need to go to the hospital. Funnily enough: true story. Stories actually. And that within a 40 meter radius around my house…
      When you ask them about the people in the US you get a lot of different opinions though.
      Positive and negative. Of course you have to distinguish between country and people and most people kinda feel bad for the US citizens. But hey.
      Find happiness wherever you want. I don’t care.
      And I actually don’t really care in general.
      But the insinuation that the USA is Germany’s friend beyond political banter and trade, culture and probably five million other more or less valid reasons is preposterous.
      Yes we share commonalities.
      No, our countries ideal’s don’t fit together at all.
      Or rather they do, but the methodology of reaching these goals is so vastly different, that friends is an overstatement.

      ​@@Marcel-yu2fw Well I know what you mean, and I fundamentally agree with the criticism of the US political system and it's parties.
      What I said however was meant in a different way, I am asking to disconnect, to some degree, the idea of parties from democracy in the first place.
      Parties are nothing more than arbitrarily established groups of interests or values that try to represent a core philosophy, this happens with people in any situation, political or not.
      You can have a system with 1 party that is very democratic, or a system with 12 parties that is highly undemocratic.
      In the end what I care more about is the structure of how people can vote for their local representatives, how those representatives have power to interact with the government above them, how much of it is handled via direct democracy, representative democracy and random selection processes, how to keep money out of the system for campaigning.
      These are much more important to wether a country has a functioning democracy or not, in my view, and consequently you could have a state with one party, or to put it in better terms, without a party at all, whereby people vote for representatives of local areas, the entire country or state, and random selection of eligible members of society who interact and counterbalance each other, and I would absolutely consider this a democracy, in fact, pretty utopian even, as it would take away from any party political polemic and populist nonsense to try and gain votes for a particular party.
      In turn, you can easily imagine a country with many many poltitically motivated groups, funded by larger industries to represent their interests or lobby against others, a strange system of voting that elects leaders who then elect representatives who then vote on who decides who shall be voted into a council that then elects the head of state from a pre-selected list of candidates which is based on rules some arbitrary but complicated rotation for each party decideds, or perhaps another gremium votes on these which will be influenced by think tanks and so forth.
      The former system sounds much closer to the average citizen and democratic, while the second is basically a farce to pretend the voters opinion matters.
      I only point this out because I find that often times people think having political parties is a prerequisite to a functioning democracy, or has necessarily to do with being a democracy in the first place, forgetting that poltics and views can be expressed without the direct existence of political parties as well.

    Hey James you have to take into account that formats like "Die Anstalt" und die "Heute Show" are produced by public TV, not private channels. There are several more formats in the area of satyre produced and broadcasted on public channels, thats a european tradition, like more or less precise news in the news shows and not only opinions like on the american bradcasts (like Fox-News et altera) Adiitional there is a big educational problem in the US. Most of the highlighted parts are part of the subjects "Geschichte=History" "Gesellschaftskunde=Social Studies" and so on.
    First the subjects are not reduced to the own backyard but worldwide, second a bit of critical selfreflection would be great for the us society.
    Its always funny to see your reaction if something all the wolrd was hardly knowing since decades, is now revealed by opened files, and you americans can't still believe it. And believe me the the worst files wouldn't be revealed either it's just the top of an iceberg, and what can't be deneid anymore as everyone except the american public allready knows.

    The main reason, why American politicians did all of this, Die Anstalt missed. Either because they don't want you to know or because it's so obscure, they didn't think about it. Ever since America got rid of the gold standard, the Dollar's value has been entirely based on the oil trade in the middle east. This is because to keep the american economy and the Dollar powerful in the rest of the world, The American Government instated, that every barrel of oil in the middle east, has to be bought using the Dollar. This is so that all other countries, who want to buy oil from that region, first have to buy $Dollars$ from the U.S. of A. , wich allows America, to pay their debt with U.S. bonds, keeping up the Dollars value and the U.S. Government in power. This is called the "Petrodollar".
    Whoever tries to trade oil without the Dollar, will find themselves living a shorter life than expected.
    USA is doing this, so you can live in a "thriving" economy, that is built on debt. All of this is because America's economy is less productive, than the market it consumes.

    Fun fact: When I was a child of maybe 12-14 years my Mom went for a second job, cleaning an office after work. I went along quite often. It was always boring af, but I remember a few things.
    There was a huge painting in a gold frame of some guy with amoustache in a uniform on the wall and when I asked the boss who that guy was he proudly said it was Saddam Hussein, his president.
    Then there were showcases with glass tops and it were some cnc machined metal parts.
    Conclusion: They were all arrested, because these were parts for rockets.

    Hey James, the Canadian law was about local culture and language, not opinions/freedom of speech. But it's of course still pretty ridiculous. Basically imagine you are a content creator in New Orleans and you have to cover Jazz or local food just because you live here, even if you usually talk about let's say chemistry.
    This of course raises the question what counts as Canadian culture, and which creators are large enough for the rule to apply. And it doesn't make sense on a global platform like CZcams. If you are Swedish and want to talk about Florida or Floridian talking about Sweden you can do that.
    Germany solved the issue of not having enough of certain types of content in German by simply sponsoring a bunch of channels to make it instead of bothering creators who don't care.

      In 1913 Canada banned all languages but English and French. The USA followed in 1917-18. The Soviets under Lenin did the same in Russia, banning dozends of languages making everyone speak one language and bow to one flag... like in Canada and the USA.
      It was calledthe Babel-Proclamation and declared the German language a "War-Crime".
      Thats America.

    sorry, although I am a native English speaker (bilingual German/English), I have problems understanding your comments. How about taking some lessons in Englsh pronunciation? The "innerneg" e.g.? What I did understand was that in the US everything is about money - monetary profit for people that are already rich - that's more than obvious. Die Anstalt is really great! The US is portraid exactly how it is. I know, I have worked for the Army here in Germany and know how these military people tend to think. Seems as if the US governments, no matter if democrats or republicans, like meddling in wars, sorry to say. They argue that they want to spread democracy although the US voting system is everything other than democratic. BTW German TV is not dependent on any kind of commercials.

    @DanielRMueller Před rokem +6

    9/11 Inside Job? No, it seems it was just department jurisdictions, vanity and incompetence. Shooting down passenger planes isn't really something we do casually, just because they go off course. (Heck, even the Russians in the cold war let a private plane land on the red square instead of shooting it down). Especially since the more common terrorist approach was to hijack planes for hostage purposes, giving weight to their demands and proclamations.
    In Germany, there was actually a debate about an air safety guideline ( § 14 Abs. 3 LuftSiG) that would allow the miltary to shoot down civil planes. The Constitutional Court ruled it unconstitutional to make a law allowing to kill plane passengers in exchange for potential victims on the ground. It dehumanizes and violates their constitutional guarantee to be treated with dignity. This guarantee exists independent on how long they might still have to live.
    I don't know about the exact US laws, but I strongly suspect that any officer having to decide whether to kill civilians would want to make sure he's doing the right thing - quite possibly longer than it did take. Especially since that was basically the first time in US history and US soil. And so far, the only time...

    World War II was the first war in which oil as a resource could be decisive for/against loosing the war. For this reason since then, the United States has been looking for oil wells all over the world or has gained access to oil by more or less reasonable means. The oil wells on the territory of the NATO countries are far too small to supply NATO with enough oil. Ironically, the USSR never had this exact problem.

    About this Canadian bill (afaik know it's not law yet): They already have (very old) legislation in place that says a certain percentage of what you see on TV must show actual Canadian footage. This was intended to make sure Canada stays independent and preserves its cultural identity and isn't overrun by foreign media. What they now want to do is expand this legislation to the internet. In my opinion that's bullshit because the internet is by definition a global thing and there is no exclusively Canadian corner of the internet. But it would mean that especially streaming services like Netflix and also CZcams would have to ensure that a Canadian user gets shown a certain percentage of Canadian content. They want to put the responsibility for this on the individual content creators and not the platform. So let's say an artist would have to film a percentage of their music videos in Canada to be able to show their stuff to Canadian viewers. At first they wanted it to also apply to small content creators but have since changed it to only apply to corporations.
