I have the most overlaps with the SJW tribe and what you said about Americanization is just so true. Many of the issues they address are legitimate but I really wish they were more willing to take a step back and ask questions like "is this even a problem on our side of the pond" or "does that even make sense in our political, social and linguistic environment" rather than unreflectedly parroting anything they read on English-speaking social media.

#tribe 36 Dual citizenship holders my grandparents (oma and opa) are examples. They never will move back as they have become nearly fully americanized but they often will look upon german politics with disgrace telling me how good the american dream is yet they both have not been to germany since 1982. My oma was from Bavaria and she was very anti catholic after coming to the US and my opa was originally from East Prussia but moved to Bremen after ww2 and he's very anti communist and SPD. I've met some of their brothers and sister that have also moved to the US and they feel the same. I feel like no matter what happens in Germany they will support the opposite. Which is odd cause both of them have retained their German citizenship. Which I find hilarious cause i've visited Berlin, Dresden, Munich and rural bavaria for a few weeks and I found many things I think the US should adopt culturally and politically.

It's an illegal war but you don't have to be a "Russia Understander" to know about all the provocations that have lead to this war. It's incredibly ignorant to call it "unprovoked". Illegal but not unprovoked.

I would fit into "justice warrior" category, but its due to my ethnical background. I believe that politics must create basis for collectivistic society where maximal number of people doing well. But after living here for 5 years, its seems to be "appear, but not do" for me

Now this is pretty anecdotal since politics is such a fickle thing, culturally no less, but the Reichsbürger type bares a striking resemblance to the "American State National" or "Sovereign Citizen" US conspiracy theory. Basically the same sort of, "The American Government isn't real and if you agree to anything you are being forced into a contract and no one can do anything to you if you don't say yes do it."

I swear the “Wahl-O-Mat” is literally how they vote in managed democracy from helldivers

Omg I just realized Cars and Spee limit regulation are to Germany what Guns and Gun Control are to America lmao

I find it quite interesting that Bavarians or Germans often think of Dirndl, Lederhosen or Oktoberfest as something completely unique to Bavaria, but actually the other southern state Baden-Württemberg has similar folk customs. People here also have the dirndls or in the black forest you can see things like the Bollenhut. Theres also the Cannstatter Wasn and the Canstatter Volksfest, which is also quite similar to the Oktoberfest.

Hehe murica 🇺🇸

AfD💙🇩🇪💙

What about Germany's relation with Poland? Is it similar to it's relation with Israel?

“hello friends, my name is lucas bender”

Vote AfD!

anyone else identifies themself as a social democrat?

It’s funny the liberal in America means left-wing when the liberal party the third biggest party still pretty small is more of right wing party

19:00 no im not, please tell me what specific beleifs are actaully there. And instead of giving us a reasonable one that has any possible bearing in reality that real people actually believe, you choose the most LUDICROUS and retarded of the bunch to represent the ENTIRE group. So, tell me, what is a "conspiracy theorist" to you?

German monarchy. Gott mitt uns!

Kinda weird to lump "extremists" into one big pile as if their opinions or expressions of those opinions are at all similiar

Bavaria is just the Texas of Germany

Sehr interessantes Video. Ich verfolge JJ und mag seine Arbeit. Schön zu sehen, dass dieses Konzept im deutschen Kontext verwendet wird.

ironically, january 27th was when the last german emperor was born and the 9th of november was when he subsequently abdicated the throne. not a german, just a history nerd who found that moment interesting

nah not the mario kart wii handbook! lol, love the video

What a bullshit…. The complet Afd Part ist wrong 🤦🏻‍♂️ WTF

I kinda agree with haven’t we heard group

I teach high school German in Kansas and have students who are constantly asking for opportunities to learn more about Politik. I'm certainly sharing this with all my classes. Danke für das tolle Video!

The Bürgerinitiative person or "NIMBY ". Usually very locally active, single issue voter who mostly doesn't want a specific thing in their neighbourhood. Can join up to become a major party (Greens or Freie Wähler) or turns into a Wutbürger.

What about the NSDAP

Actual Bad faith interpretation of the AfD.

I am dutch, but today i learned that indeed we are just swamp germans

interesting that in lithuania soviet nostalgics share nostalgia with eastalgics only about stable employment. other than that they don't like military, centralism (top-down orgs included), and they are often angry that the current mainstream media "hides" the truth

F für die vier Pflanzen 🫡

Almost all of the quotes made me breathe out heavily through my nose, good job

"I am literally all of those things" #tribe36

I have to disagree about the influence of the "ancient elite" no longer being influential. I have met quite a lot of people who belong to this group- von, zu, Freiherr, Ritter usw, and while yes they are no longer officially royals they are still by and large very wealthy and influential. If your family has been wealthy and influential for centuries...you get pretty good at making money and having influence. They just are content to be insanely wealthy and unseen to do whatever they want behind the scenes, it is seen as being extremely gauche in their circles to show off. #Tribe 36- The "Student Leftist", an -ology student named Jan or Caro who smokes Pueblo rolled-cigarettes out of that Inca/South American patterned bag and drinks Club Mate, and is very vocal and somewhat active in student politics and affairs. They will live a bohemian lifestyle throughout their studies, but also fiercely hide the fact their parents are lawyers or whatever that finances their lifestyle.

2:48 "Whatever IT is ... bureaucracy or digitization" :D literally two things Germany refuse to handle :D so good "it" descriptions :D these are exactly THOSE things! :D

Imagine letting arrogance ruin your country twice & wanting to do it again

#tribe36 could be The Satirists

CDU being conservative my ass

>larp that your party is 'christian' >proceed to be pro lgbt , be pro abortion and pro herecy even in the so called 'christian' party they are left wing lmao

21:05 "none of it is bound up in ideology" bahahhahahahahahahahahhahah OH I"M SURE YOU THINK SO LIB

the "russlandversteher" is just german business that wants cheap energy costs

#tribe36 artists and cultural workers, as they and their concepts can also transcend into politics. You said it already when you mentioned the satire shows and the political comedy, but one also could argue for songs and lyrics hitting the nerve of the time*. I also think that for instance deutsch-rap or other dystopian realities affect world views of young minds. Or that artists and their 'work' send messages abroad. I agree on that this part of a society isn't often regarded but Zeitgeist always comes with a culture for it's tribe ... ;), oh, btw. isn't that your tribe, too ? ;) * e.g.: Scorpions, Wind of Change excellent work btw. ;)

46:36 SATIRE!!! Yes, I really do like satire.

Your bias against die linke is pretty unsavoury and undermines the good elements of this video tbh. Most socialists aren’t demanding a command and control economy - we believe in plurality and democracy. We just have a very different understanding of how democracy functions under a capitalist system.

38:01 Our „Sozialkunde“ (society/politics) teacher this year once said to us when discussing some aspects of the AfD, that though he must not force any opinion, in this case, he needed to hold against this as it is his duty, which meant he could do a lot of stuff wrong. Just bringing it up because remaining neutral in this case needs to involve condemning what happened in at least some capacity.

i’m romanian - the eastalgic character definitely exists here too! often with the exact same arguments that your friend ana described. your video and JJ’s kind of inspire me to do something similar for romania, but i sadly would probably lack the production quality to be able to see it through

"Far left ecosocialist" aren't far left. Ask the anarchist what far left is.

21:38 Stop calling me out! Yes, I admit, I might be very much *into* the EU. But I really think strong cooperation should be the target of the European nations, as I don’t believe we’ll be able to become at least mostly independent from countries like China otherwise. I don’t think the EU is perfect, that „beacon of democracy“ sadly isn’t there all around the continent, but I really think this is what the EU should become even though I do not see a clear path towards that. In any case, it cannot involve violence. The EU needs to have principals separating it from Russia, China, North Korea and also the USA to solve capacity. In my dreams, the EU would be a democratic, peaceful, righteous beacon, but well, let’s see what the future brings.

I kinda agree with the haven’t we heard enough group

i agree with the "Havent we heard enough" sentiment, it becomes overly annoying to hold on the past rather than moving on. people dont learn from their past mistakes and these things just reinforce certain sides to stir more anger.
