AMERICAN REACTS TO Volker Pispers history of USA and terrorism 1 of 5

[@imajinallthepurple]

Let's just say that what you're taught about the US in History classes and what the rest of the world is taught are two *very* different things!

[@thomasmerkert4441]

if he had gone further back in history, he would have had to tell how england and the USA organized the coup in the german empire. later, with dollars and pounds, hitler and indirectly stalin were brought to power. the rest should be known even to the most uneducated. the baddest of all nazis were brought to their friends in the US after the war to further perfect all the inhuman games there. operation paperclip is just the known tip of the iceberg. but don't worry, you've always been the good guys.⚫️⚪️🔴 take care patriots, our flag was stolen in1918, now they come for your’s

Me too 😂

[@mikelw3734]

Ich eher nicht... die Amis sind einfach zu blöd, nen Loch in Schnee zu pissen! Vor allem, weil diese Hohlbirnen das über 15 Jahre verpasst haben! Pispers hat aufgegeben, weil er 30 Jahre lang versucht hat, die Bekloppten in Deutschland aufzuwecken! Für die Amis braucht es da schon so viel mehr, soviel gibt es nicht auf dem Planeten!

[@Etherion195]

it's just too bad that only very few reaction channels are actually capable of understanding the (very easy to understand) subtitles.

[@daniell7524]

It seems like all American reaction youtubers use Volker Pispers the last few days. It is time for the Americans to learn about their foreign policies! Volker left out many things in South America but there are many similiarities. PS: If you have oil, do not let the Americans know! They may visit you!

[@llothar68]

Yeah, all the youtubers are just copy cats.

[@fzoid3534]

@@llothar68 I'm fine with that.. if it spreads the information. They should all watch this.

[@DerMannDerSeineMutterwar]

At this point there are 5 different youtubers (including Dream Team Neal) who posted on average 3 videos to this topic. 3 from america, 1 from Uk, 1 from Uganda. This is by far not "all". But it is remarkable thats true.

[@Orici_Vintarion]

what would be more helpful is that the people should activly react towards their own fucked up goverment ... on the topic of oil.... people should open up tuna cans in private in soundproofed rooms in the basement..... other wise the us invades ur humble shed in order to democratize the Fish-oil

[@MarcsUnknown]

Sometimes he used slight exaggeration as a linguistic tool to emphasize - but Volker Pispers‘ quotations and information have always been well researched, accurate and verifiably true. (That show-video is from almost 20 years ago. He retired from stage a few years ago.)

[@TJ-hs1qm]

love how everyone starts reacting to Volker Pispers from 20 years ago... the internet is a magical place.

[@robertzander9723]

I'm absolutely impressed that you are really watching this, I guess not so many people from the US did that so far, but it could be helpful to overthink the role of the US in the world and why things are so difficult. It's not always the fault of the foreign country. Politics are dirty work and not everything is true what governments try to tell you. Well done so far!!

[@shadowwalker8793]

Oh boy, you've picked a GREAT example of political cabaret/comedy, including a history lesson. If you ask yourself if he's exaggerating much for the sake of the joke: no he doesn't. What he tells is true. Sadly. To try and translate one of my favourite Pispers quotes into english: "You wonder why we get bombs under our butts? When do you start wondering why we get SO FEW bombs under our butts?" EDIT says: the US even installed Shah Rezah Pahlavi (the one Pispers starts the story with) because they didn't quite like the idea of a secular democracy of his predecessor Mohammad Mosaddegh and therefore got rid of that man. (In 2013 the US government formally acknowledged that fact.) You can just look up the name at wikipedia for the whole story.

[@Ribulose15diphosphat]

It gets even better: *When Stalin tried to get rid of Shah Rezah Palavi, they treatened to Nuke Russia. This essencially started the cold war, and Stalin shut down West-Berlin, and called the USA out for KKK-lynchings. *When Shah Rezah Palavi visited West-Berlin in 1968, student (former rock and roll rebels) protested. When the Police, together with the Shas goons attacked the Protesters. Then the Protesters fought back with extrem Prejudice, bacomming the 68er which brought a lot of social changes to west germany, and had a lot of influence on the society from the 70s to the late 2000s.

[@JaydenCross6925]

He said also that the shah was installed by the us terrororganization called cia

[@michaelmueller9635]

Volker Pispers is doing (better was doing ...he retreated some time ago) 'political cabaret' on a top tier level. 'Political cabaret' is like cynical satire on political hard facts ...so he is delivering in this show.

[@MR-vg7yn]

Surprisingly good subtitles. The translator definitely did his best to get the jokes across well.

[@nicohunger2729]

the volker pispers experience: laughing, laughing, laughing...thinking about, and crying because you know he's right.

[@marcodeluxe3057]

Volker is speaking 100 facts! No BS!

[@Talkshowhorse_Echna]

welcome to the world of german political cabaret. Thats what we call that. Its done by compressing true facts in a short witty text to have fun with political problems. You never knew if its good or bad when you laugh about it. But its an old tradition over here an Pispers has been one of the best before he retierd

[@JoaoMonty]

It never ceases to amaze me how US history that is common knowledge for most europeans is such a surprise for US citizens. But it is good that you want to learn. Next lesson: who trained Osama Bin Laden and the ISIS. Do you want to take a wild guess....?

[@Parker8752]

[@1Ashram]

That was not Isis back then but Al Qaeda

[@f.h.7094]

Did somebody mention, that Volker Pispers was actually a history (and/or english)teacher in Düsseldorf before he started his career as kabaret-comedian?

[@ald00I]

ohh youre in for a treat with this one :D some of the local jokes can be lost in translation but volker pispers is a brilliant cabaretist

[@KrisThroughGlass]

I love that you're checking this out. Volker Pisper is amazing with breakout down seemingly complicated historical/political issues and pointing out the the ridiculousness of them. Can't wait for the next part. Subbed! Greetings from Germany

[@Naglfarius]

These last Days there is a Trend to react to this Videos, and i must say: You had to date the best reaction! you understand everything, and are also on the right conclusios. Many have Problems to read so fast and also to understand at the same Time all the new Information. Good Work, i'm here for the next parts. *thumps up*

[@mayertheresa7450]

Hey! Exciting to see you react to this, looking forward to the other parts. It’s a really good tho rather old piece of satire, I assume from like 2005. Some things are lost in translation and he makes many references to local German politics, which of course not everyone will be familiar with. I still think it’s worth a watch, it’s a great piece. Gerhard Schröder was the chancellor to Germany for 7 years until 2005. He’s not at all beloved in Germany, but he wasn’t a tyrant, the joke he was making „imagine how desperate you would have to be to back the pope to get rid of Gerhard Schröder“ wasn’t really a comment on his person or politics, but an attempt to illustrate the situation in Persia back then into the Western world. The bit about Angela Merkel was a reference to her growing up in East Germany, a dictatorship that ended with peaceful civil protest. He‘s dragging her over her call for violence, justifying it with her own experiences, when in fact there was no violence involved in the fall of the DDR. The piece is from before Merkel‘s 16 years of chancellorship in Germany and she actually ended up being rather popular within Germany.

[@agnesmetanomski6730]

Salvador Allende was socialist, and he would have made it harder if not impossible for US companies to get chilean copper cheap. That's, as far as I know and have been told by Chileans, the reason why Allende was removed through a US-supported military coup. Americans complain about MIddle East terrorists now, but it the US that created most of the original groups in the first place. The US has worked and still works with most dictators, for all it is a country that says it stands for "freedom" and "human rights".

[@SSi-nq3rt]

There is a good sentence my grandpa said "there are always 3 truth, my truth, your truth and then what really happened"... i stick to this, and thats what i try to teach my kids too. Always question things...

[@GreenFart174]

I've suggested this video to Americans a few times. But there was never a reaction to it. Had given up hope that someone would be brave enough to respond. Admittedly, this video is a bit of a gut punch for Americans.

[@Nr4747]

I'm glad that you're interested and open minded regarding world history (and your nation's part in it). The whole first Golf War (Iraq vs. Iran) has an even more shameful history from an American perspective: The U.S. secretly also armed the Iranians during that war to keep the war going for as long as possible and maximize losses on *both* sides (this was later known as the Iran-Contra-Affair). The official reports by the Reagan administration-appointed "Tower Commission", of course, said that the president didn't know about the extent of these wrongdoings (which also broke an U.S. arms embargo) and claimed that the U.S. was simply "trading arms for hostages".

[@recordingroadtrips]

It's a real joy watching you picking up on those facts so quickly and being able to instantly connect the dots and summarize what you've learned. I wish I was as fast when it comes to that. ;) It's also great that you don't automatically get defensive when being confronted with an unflattering fact about the US. Stay awesome! 💪

[@buninparadise9476]

....this is just the tip of the iceberg

[@qoud_erat_demonstrandum]

In fact of the us education system this gradually ignorance of us people about their own history and political involvements doesnt surprise me.

[@nizmollusk]

Everything the man says is absolute facts, he just tells it in a humorous way with added insults to polititians and various mindsets. Personal anecdote on how little Americans seem to know about their own history. In the UK 20+ yrs ago I did GCSE history and one of the modules was on the American westward expansion covering the period immediately after independence upto the "wild west" period. We covered the various native genocides with the "Trail of tears" being a particular interest. The birth of Mormonism and its role in westward expansion and how the Mormons were treated and the raids/wars they were involved in. The decimation of american buffalo and side order of wagon train life (donner party ho). That was 3 months and pretty much all i had to learn for my gcse. In the exam itself I also had to answer a comparitive evidence question on the Mai Lai massacre in Vietnam. When i subsequently travelled I would consistently meet Americans who had spent yrs of their own schooling in history classes and never covered any of the dirty details i had to . I also consistently meet many who are well read and knowledgeable about the world outside of their borders, Im not trying to shit on anyone just saying.

[@ashwanikumarsharma15151]

There is a documentary about that Chilean massacre, named Nostalgia for the Light, it is also available on my channel, however is in Spanish. That is a masterpiece and must must watch.

Volker pispers , best comedy man in germany

[@torstenkersten8566]

btw. the way shah reza pahlewi came into power was another coup 'd etat. Organised by Kermit Roosevelt jr. the grandson of an american president and with financial help from the cia (operation Ajax). The guy who was in charge for the country before was Mohammad Mosaddegh, the first democratically elected president of a secular iranian state. He wanted to 'repatriate' the oil wells in iran. Those were all 'british possession' and the iranian people got almost nothing from it. That led to a british sea blocade for iran. Then the US got into the game.

[@NachttiSchlampE65]

I think the problem is, that the US government doesn‘t think or admit it made big mistakes. For example the Nazi regime led to millions of deaths and the complete destruction of germany. This was a very big blunder. So we learn every aspect of our history at school to make sure, that these mistakes never happen again. If the government can‘t admit mistakes, these mistakes will never taught as such. But we learn from mistakes.

[@tobiletitbeat5010]

Hey bro, best regards and huge respect for actually choosing the absolute best of the best of our satirists to describe his view of the world/Realpolitik for you. Without wanting to judge or criticize you in any way, I have to tell you that the whole history of Iraq, Sadam Hussein, who was indeed a terrible dictator, who nevertheless was of some help from the West as a useful partner (idiot) for years . If you estimate everything roughly and take a quick look at what happened in the Middle East from the 1970s to the early 2000s (specifically, of course, the September 11, 2001 deadline), you know 1/2001, Bush's fabricated history that Sadam H., despite being a horrible bastard, was obsessed and intended to use weapons of mass destruction, was not only 100% a lie used as a pretext and justification for the American invasion of Iraq, but with the overthrow of Sadam, despite many Warnings from various politicians sparked an inferno that continues to this day. Namely, the destabilization of Iraq, which meant that the conflict between Shiites and Sunites, from Iran to Syria and Afghanistan to cruel proxy wars in Lebanon or Yemen, could only really grow and expand. What was also created by the US secret services is not only the years of arming Bin Laden and his Mujahideen, who were able to successfully defend themselves against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, but also part of the tragic truth that they had a man to help them at the time , who was something of a go-between and informer for the US and one day, when he was no longer needed, was without warning defamed as a terrorist in the public media. The following answer and reaction of the man's name Unfortunately, Abū Musʿab az-Zarqāwī's was the founding and emergence of the IS!!!! This should not be an anti-USA fairy tale or digging out everything that speaks against them, just show as briefly as possible some important cornerstones and basics that are not guesses, conspiracy theories or stories, but some of the pure facts..

[@petrfux]

How brave an US teacher has to be to play this in a class?

[@MarcsUnknown]

Volker Pispers was a Master of the satire craft and used German linguistic double meanings, allusions, subtle irony and neologisms which can hardly be translated. So despite the subtitles, I assume non-German speakers will only understand a very small part of it and will hardly “get“ him. It may take some getting used to (especially for Millennials :D ) but it surely increases the chances to understand him if you take your time while watching... pause, rewind, play, pause... Especially when he makes comparisons. ;)
