00:00:00.000 hello simone today is going to be a crazy episode because it was one of these rabbit 0.70
00:00:05.620 holes where i started going down it and i'm like this can't possibly be that lefty fascist
00:00:10.500 in germany right now they are it's scary so she doesn't know what's going to come of this episode
00:00:18.020 by the way so i'm excited to drop this review so this came downstream from a tweet and and
00:00:23.960 tweets like this have been going around the right a bit recently unreal the german left-wing
00:00:28.500 coalition has collapsed and snap elections have been called the right-wing alternative for germany
00:00:33.600 party is soaring in the polls and in second place now over 100 lawmakers are supporting a motion to
00:00:39.800 ban the party wait even though it's doing well yes it would be like if the second largest party in the
00:00:46.960 united states the democrats right now the republicans voted to ban them okay keep going
00:00:54.680 by the way for people who don't know is what hitler did when he came to power is he made all
00:01:01.720 of the other he banned all the other parties that weren't the nazi party
00:01:04.180 i love it how leftists have like this nazi blindness where they cannot see anything that
00:01:13.060 they do that is nazi like and yet they'll see nazi like things and all any any little thing a right
00:01:19.080 person does you'll see i've invented a time machine to bring back the people who defeated nazism
00:01:24.380 we brought you to the future because nazism is on the rise in the u.s and our president 0.65
00:01:29.960 is sympathetic to them what ah this fella's disgusting right this boy would think a man 0.60
00:01:37.160 who cuts his dongle off is a woman um sounds more like a commie to me but hey same difference 0.99
00:01:42.960 i'll kill either one uh that's not what's bad about him yeah none of this sounds like nazism to me 0.99
00:01:49.200 well how about this he wants people to pay for their own birth control oh no yeah birth control is 0.99
00:01:57.940 legal the guys who defeated nazism are such nazis you know i don't like you pinkos going around telling
00:02:06.940 people you're fighting nazis we need to say you're on our side so we can convince the greater whole of
00:02:12.360 society to accept violence against dissidents who stand in the way of the social order we seek to
00:02:19.720 establish and how exactly are they the nazis and you know why i mean the reason is is they're like
00:02:26.520 well i was told that this wasn't like nazis weren't actually social so i'm like no they actually were
00:02:31.380 like super socialist yeah and they're like i was told in university i'm like wasn't it the national
00:02:35.600 socialist party isn't that what it's like of course you were told in university that you're not like a
00:02:40.040 nazi because those professors are super lefty did you what did your conservative professors tell you
00:02:45.340 i don't know i don't have any all right so let's go into how dystopian it is in germany right now
00:02:51.020 because i think it's a pertence of where we could go in the united states and what i will say of that
00:02:55.780 initial tweet is every single fact in it is true except that the move isn't a new move it's actually a
00:03:03.460 continuation of a move that has been happening for a while and two while it is the second largest
00:03:08.860 party in the country germany has tons of different parties so it's not like as big as like the
00:03:13.060 democrats or something oh it's not a two-party system yeah it's not a two-party system and three
00:03:18.500 it wouldn't come quickly it would take like a year from now even if everything's going well
00:03:23.680 even if everything goes right for them for the ban to be complete
00:03:27.040 but other than that everything is true oh and four even though it's got over a hundred uh elected officials
00:03:33.720 interested in it like elected to the supreme whatever german court thing it that's not enough
00:03:38.320 to get it passed and we'll go into the numbers and everything like that but it is crazy that this is
00:03:43.180 happening at all and just to give you an idea of you can be like oh it's not a two-party system
00:03:47.160 how bad could this be about a third of the people who live in east germany support this party
00:03:53.040 oh dear okay so especially east germany big on conservatism yeah and what's the party's
00:04:00.180 core stance all right this conservative party that's being banned yeah what do they stand for
00:04:04.860 it's known for and that it is hated for is being anti totally porous borders oh that's i just figured
00:04:12.820 i was like okay that's probably going to be the anti-immigration party because if it's getting a
00:04:16.900 groundswell of attention that's got to be what's driving it yeah so if you want to consider how crazy
00:04:22.940 it is that a third of the people in east germany support this party consider that 28.7 percent
00:04:28.660 of the german population has a migrant background so around 30 percent of the country has a migrant
00:04:33.720 background so that means about half of ethnic germans support this party in east germany
00:04:37.720 that is wild and it's not like the american conservative party that is genuinely supports
00:04:46.160 you know hispanic rights and stuff like that because america and this is important before we go
00:04:49.860 further is this has a very different relation to nationalism in a country like germany where i do not
00:04:55.380 believe that for example any group can call themselves as like the owners of america in
00:05:00.880 any sort of a meaningful context yeah it doesn't make sense for them to say that america the northern
00:05:05.220 european descended country because it's just not especially considering that many of them come from
00:05:09.900 more recent immigrant waves like the irish or the italians then here i just you're probably going to
00:05:15.480 take this out but i mean there are many mexican people who have some mayan or aztec ancestry and
00:05:23.820 these are people who are more like these are like actual indigenous american populations so you would
00:05:28.960 argue actually that mexicans are more american than most nordic immigrants yeah you could you could 1.00
00:05:34.220 make that argument but with german nationals it's actually their country it's actually like germany
00:05:39.280 and then there's the second thing which makes it easy for me to be pro pluralist and i don't think
00:05:43.560 i'd be nearly as pluralist if i lived in europe is that our immigrants are pretty fucking awesome in
00:05:48.500 america reasons one the you know the countries that we abet are places like canada and mexico and
00:05:56.340 other hispanic countries and there just isn't a correlation between a mexican immigrant and a
00:06:02.840 middle eastern immigrant in europe now let me explain what i mean by that the u.s gets a lot of middle
00:06:08.360 eastern immigrants but they're typically pretty high quality middle eastern immigrants because it's
00:06:13.540 difficult to get to the u.s and you will get better social services from countries that are
00:06:18.580 easier for you to immigrate to so if i am a refugee and i am choosing from the middle east but i'm
00:06:24.380 choosing the u.s over germany it's because i thought i had a chance to make more money in the u.s
00:06:30.640 than i would have received social benefits from germany yeah by working hard yeah yeah that is already
00:06:35.960 selected and this is why it's always good to be the country that offers the least to immigrants 1.00
00:06:41.160 because then you will always get the highest quality immigrants as my grandfather said you
00:06:45.440 cannot have porous borders and uh free government services the two things don't work eventually you
00:06:50.580 bleed a country dry yeah and i'd also keep in mind that to give you an idea of how quickly this has
00:06:55.980 changed in 2022 uh 28.7 percent of the german population had migrant backgrounds in 2019 around 17
00:07:03.880 percent of the country were first generation immigrants i don't know about your background but
00:07:07.480 you're seeing a huge jump and keep in mind this is in a country with a fertility rate of only 1.35
00:07:12.680 right now and only around uh 700 000 births per year um yeah yeah people have been throwing around in
00:07:21.140 the united states graphs showing the record high levels of um immigrants now um compared to america's
00:07:28.740 history but that is a whole new level so pretty significant and i can understand again why that would drive
00:07:35.700 to a a groundswell of interest in closing the borders up yeah so so i guess the point i was
00:07:42.580 making here is i can be somewhat disingenuous in my support of immigration to the united states
00:07:47.060 mostly because we do at least historically offer lower social services and once we offer lower social
00:07:53.120 services again we can keep the immigrants who contribute to the economy and the ones who don't 1.00
00:07:57.520 will find it unpleasant to be here and that that also reminds me of the time uh a family member of
00:08:03.660 mine who is involved in politics and had a skyscraper at the top of dallas and always been sort of my
00:08:10.340 family's policy on immigrants and other economically unproductive individuals and he took you to the
00:08:16.720 window and he goes because simone was from san francisco he's like what do you see down there and i'm like
00:08:21.860 a nice park like it's it's great he's like what do you don't see and i'm like i don't know what and
00:08:27.800 he's he's basically like you don't see any homeless people down there because we don't and you consider
00:08:32.660 parks in san francisco versus the park that you know they just it's it's not they're not even parks
00:08:37.620 anymore it's just look at this homeless encampment observe our population of homeless people yeah
00:08:44.720 whereas especially back then i there last time i visited dallas there were a few more homeless was 0.85
00:08:51.280 becoming more wokey yeah but still at that time yeah it was weird it was sparkling it there was
00:08:57.860 there was not nary nary a homeless person to be found and and he pointed out that it was because
00:09:03.740 there was no support they weren't fueling uh a homeless community essentially in the same way
00:09:10.600 san francisco really abundantly does all right hit it let's hope to crash this works california love
00:09:19.820 california is nice to the homeless california super cool to the homeless
00:09:34.060 now people might be like well you can't do this if you stop providing people who are
00:10:04.000 economically unproductive with services they'll just go to other regions and oh bad word here
00:10:09.020 parasitize those regions and i'll say fine they can go to other regions and parasitize those regions
00:10:15.440 that are willing to enable this kind of behavior and they're like oh but that's so horrible you're
00:10:20.260 just shunting your problem to somebody else and it's like no i'm not shunting my problem to somebody
00:10:24.200 else if they didn't enable this lifestyle people wouldn't live like this you in you increase the
00:10:32.760 proportion of people living like this you are actively hurting people by enabling this lifestyle
00:10:39.980 and cultures to begin to form in some cases even intergenerationally around living off of the state
00:10:46.340 that is my hypothesis at least and i think it's borne out in a lot of the data and i think people
00:10:50.860 can be like no giving people money is always good for them and i think we saw from the ubi study this
00:10:55.020 is not true when people were given a thousand dollars per month over the course of three years
00:10:59.900 they ended up thirty thousand dollars less wealthy than the people who weren't they spent no more
00:11:03.420 time with their kids they didn't spend particularly extra money on education people are who you allow
00:11:09.480 them to be and when you make their lives easier you make them worse often and so when somebody to me
00:11:16.480 is like oh no how dare you allow your economically unproductive people to come to my region because i'm
00:11:23.740 willing to enable this behavior in them i see it more like a toxic codependent relationship where one
00:11:30.400 party is keeping another party in perpetual poverty by supporting them like this and through that they
00:11:37.760 get to feel good about themselves while the other party is developing toxic cultural tendencies around
00:11:44.480 being willing to live off of this kind of support and so while both groups are at the end of the day
00:11:52.000 hurting each other i actually think that the group that is using the intergenerational poverty of
00:11:58.800 another group that they have created through things like cash and out through things like affirmative
00:12:02.580 action is is using that to feel good about themselves i think they are by far the worst moral party and
00:12:09.600 we've noted this before on our show if you're not familiar with the statistics on this but regions that
00:12:14.780 have been more persistently controlled by republicans than democrats which are much less likely to go for
00:12:19.240 things like affirmative action related stuff show a smaller discrepancy in incomes between their white
00:12:27.500 and black population than democrat controlled regions and it's because these things really do 0.97
00:12:32.980 permanently hurt the groups that they are quote-unquote helping well this is a huge problem with
00:12:36.940 immigrants as well if you if you give them lots of social services you're going to disproportionately
00:12:40.540 attract even from other countries the least economically productive individuals who are most okay 0.99
00:12:45.320 culturally speaking when i say culturally speaking i mean their internal family cultures and if you're
00:12:50.180 like how dare you say that they well if it's not because you can look at this in the statistics a
00:12:54.000 family that lives on welfare is dramatically more likely to have children who live on welfare and so
00:12:58.120 if it's not an internal family culture that's causing that is genetics which is a much uh more dangerous
00:13:03.580 i don't know i i feel to a great extent that people take on the careers or resource allocation
00:13:10.900 strategies of those around them so if you grow up understanding that the world has navigated
00:13:16.160 through social services the way those around you work i mean so keep in mind in 2023 germany spent
00:13:21.420 around 30 billion euros on its refugee population wow
00:13:25.680 yeah so and you could be like here so why would they be mad about the immigrants in germany right like
00:13:34.080 why am i a lot of beef about that so i'll just go through some other statistics before we get into what
00:13:37.500 happened here okay in 2023 in germany there were around 214 000 violent crimes recorded
00:13:45.280 an 8.6 increase from the previous year in a 15 year high foreigners comprised 41.2 percent
00:13:53.500 of the suspects implicated in violent crimes the the involving dangerous or grievous bodily harm
00:13:59.960 despite making up only 15 percent of the population 15 percent of the population but yeah so 41.2 percent
00:14:06.560 of the crimes okay sexual offenses so that might be an older statistic and keep in mind when i was
00:14:11.120 talking about migrant backgrounds that didn't include first generation migrants so that number
00:14:14.460 might have been a bit afflated there sexual offenses an internal study by german federal law
00:14:18.800 enforcements revealed that asylum seeking individuals committed 7 000 sexual assaults ranging from groping
00:14:25.460 to gang rape between 2015 and 2023 in 2023 there were 761 game rapes registered in germany almost two per day
00:14:33.340 around 50 percent of the suspects were foreigners despite being only 15 percent of the population
00:14:38.720 in the category of sexual offenses 3 261 germans were victims of crimes with an immigrant among the 0.99
00:14:45.060 suspects while 89 immigrants were the victims of crimes with germans among the suspects
00:14:49.580 3 261 germans were victims of a sexual assault by an immigrant while only 89 immigrants were a victim
00:14:57.420 of a german sexual assault um unfortunately this is i have so many like very evocative anecdotes in my
00:15:04.620 head thanks to ayan hersey ali's book prey as in predator and prey it's it's a great book it's very
00:15:12.060 illustrative as to it's basically like why you shouldn't allow refugees into your country especially
00:15:19.100 if they come from a culture that doesn't treat women very well it is and i i hated reading that book because
00:15:25.740 it made me cry so many times but yeah i hearing reading this and also hearing the the stories that
00:15:33.660 ayan herself not from europe is yeah it's not good i don't like this this is not a homicide yeah
00:15:42.540 homicides okay okay so a a 258 germans 38 of whom who died were killed by migrants in 2022 0.83
00:15:53.020 or what includes murder attempted murder and manslaughter okay so 258 were subject to this
00:15:59.100 germans 38 of whom actually died 41.6 of homicide suspects in the northern rhine west of phalia
00:16:06.060 were foreigners knife crimes knife crimes tripled between 2020 10 121 incidents in 2023 so just over
00:16:14.860 three years to 26 230 in north rhine west of phalia knife crimes shot up by 45 percent
00:16:22.460 over a recent 12 month interval so so the knife crimes are also a huge thing and this is exploding
00:16:27.820 like recently this is getting bad this is horrifying like and when people are like oh why do you have
00:16:34.380 so much animosity towards countries like germany and i think they misinterpret my animosity for like
00:16:41.340 germans as an ethnic group and i'm like i have animosity to them because they're weak and people 1.00
00:16:47.020 like if you understand like our foreign like clan-based ideology it's one where if a group is
00:16:52.860 acting with rinks and is self-sufficient and is able to tolerate pluralism within its borders here i'm
00:16:59.900 thinking of israel for example we are going to have a positive bias towards it if a country is acting like
00:17:07.420 germany i think it's almost a perfect example of this which is in every way caving to the forces
00:17:13.820 that would see it undone completely lobotomized by the woke mind virus banning the one party that might
00:17:20.300 save the country people might misunderstand this as a moral position where i'm saying i think strong
00:17:26.780 groups are better than weak groups when it is not a moral position it is a practical position in terms
00:17:33.740 of the type of cultural groups that i look to with admiration and the types of cultural groups i look
00:17:39.020 to is derision and people can say so why would you admire strong cultural groups and it's because
00:17:44.540 well clearly they must be doing something especially if they're not coming from a position of historic
00:17:49.260 strength so i can be like okay this group that rose in power rapidly over this time period with
00:17:54.700 similar socioeconomic conditions to the ones that i'm facing right now i should look at them with
00:17:58.700 admiration because there might be something i can learn from how they are acting and what they are
00:18:03.660 doing and in addition to that i should work to be nice to them and align their interests with my
00:18:10.940 interests because they're likely to matter in the future so if you take a country like germany you can
00:18:15.980 see where this derision comes from first i feel like there's almost nothing i can learn from german
00:18:21.020 culture today within my own culture just because it seems to fail at almost every turn and even
00:18:28.140 achieving at stated gains like environmentalism in fighting the urban monoculture at motivating
00:18:34.060 reproductive fitness at having any chance of existing a hundred years from now as anything close
00:18:40.060 to its current cultural group like why would i look one try to endear myself to them when they're
00:18:44.620 not going to matter on the world stage in the near future and then two uh why would i look to them
00:18:50.300 with admiration to try to learn anything from them if they've clearly failed within our current
00:18:54.860 geopolitical order and people can be like well okay even if you don't think you can learn anything
00:18:59.740 from them even if you don't think that they will be a useful ally in the future you should at least
00:19:05.500 go out of your way to protect groups that are showing this form of weakness and here i would say that this
00:19:12.620 is also in a way even an immoral action because what i mean when i say weakness is groups that are failing
00:19:20.300 so it's like a person saying oh well you should try to protect and put on life support the cultural
00:19:26.940 groups that are failing within our current geopolitical and sociological order and it's like why if i do
00:19:34.540 if i for example put all of the us's resources into protecting the german culture and german people
00:19:42.460 for another you know 20 years as soon as we drop that protection they just go right back to the place
00:19:47.980 that they're in right now which is dying out so why do i need to you know care to try to go out there
00:19:54.780 and help them if i'm not helping a thing that is going to persistently continue to exist the only way
00:20:02.540 i can actually meaningfully help them is by waking them up to the fact that they do need a new cultural
00:20:08.860 hypothesis and a new pass forwards if they are going to survive but that can only be done through derision
00:20:17.980 snap out of it and people can be like yes but like doesn't cultural diversity matter do not all
00:20:24.860 cultures matter for their own sake and here i would say every culture is a hypothesis about how to get
00:20:32.140 through the current challenges that our civilization is facing it's not like a species or something it's a
00:20:39.340 series of ideas and meanplexes about how we might get through our current geopolitical order if one of
00:20:46.220 them is not working it is the wrong answer i am for diversity of correct answers this also might
00:20:54.060 explain something that i think is confusing to some people about our world perspective which is they may
00:20:59.100 see us because we are willing to see different groups of people as fundamentally different from
00:21:03.820 each other in different cultures as being fundamentally different from each other as therefore aligning ourselves
00:21:11.100 with individuals who may have more sort of traditional anti-semitic nazi sympathizer type
00:21:17.900 beliefs and then they see us show more scorn towards those individuals than almost anyone else
00:21:24.540 and they can say why do you act that way and it's because we have a great deal of disrespect for any cultural
00:21:32.540 group that demeans or otherwise tries to take down a cultural group that is being more academically
00:21:42.460 technologically and economically productive than themselves when a group is doing better than yours
00:21:47.980 along most metrics it's important that you recognize that and you have the humility to admit that
00:21:55.180 so you can look to learn from that not attempt to tear them down to me an individual like that who's
00:22:03.180 like oh why is x group like why are the jews doing so much better than us they must be cheating to me 0.99
00:22:08.620 that's absolutely no different than like a blm activist who says why are white populations doing better
00:22:15.660 than us they must be cheating it's exactly the same mindset instead of looking inwards into how you can
00:22:22.460 improve your own culture but at the same time i'm also not going to look to cultures that aren't doing
00:22:27.500 well to improve my own culture but the reason i look down on this mindset is not the reason that
00:22:32.780 wokes look down on this mindset because i see it as immoral or something i don't care whether it's
00:22:37.020 moral or immoral it leads to weakness it leads to a blindness of your own cultural failings
00:22:43.100 and an inability to recognize when other people may have figured out something or may be doing
00:22:47.900 something that you are not doing and therefore an unwillingness to attempt to improve your own
00:22:53.580 culture and often a fetishization and cargo cult-like relationship with an idealized past iteration of
00:23:00.540 your culture which ironically is a large part of why the nazis failed so i think people can make a
00:23:06.460 mistake and assume that when i speak with derision about influencers who harbor anti-semitic ideas that i am
00:23:14.700 doing this to try to appeal to lefties or try to appeal to the urban monoculture when in reality
00:23:22.220 the derision i hold for them is the exact same derision i hold for the types of racists to get
00:23:28.380 into things like the blm movement and in a way it's a higher form of derision than i would even have of
00:23:33.260 something like german culture more broadly right now because at least german culture has the capacity
00:23:38.300 to improve itself any culture that the definitionally sees anyone doing better than them as playing the
00:23:45.660 game unfairly is going to be unable to improve themselves because one they are not going to see
00:23:51.580 their own faults two they are not going to see where other people might be doing better than them and
00:23:55.420 where they can learn from that and three they are never going to try to change or improve themselves
00:24:01.420 they're always going to be looking back to some false idealized perfection in their past so at least
00:24:07.340 modern german culture can improve these groups the chance of improving is almost zero until they 0.97
00:24:12.060 drop this mindset which is unlikely because this mindset's so stable which is why i have to be so
00:24:17.900 aggressively derisive of them and i think that german culture may be able to be modified to become one
00:24:23.660 of the correct answers but it's not for me to do that it's for me to motivate german individuals to do
00:24:29.820 that i'm here working on a modified iteration of my own culture so when we say we are pro-diversity we
00:24:35.180 don't mean diversity for its own sake we mean for the strengths diversity brings to civilization i.e
00:24:41.900 if every culture is a hypothesis about how we can keep human civilization going and thriving we are
00:24:48.460 for a diversity of good hypotheses we are actively antagonistic towards failed hypotheses especially if
00:24:57.020 those failed hypotheses are on the life support or suppressing potentially good hypotheses so in the
00:25:04.140 sake of wider german society right now the urban monoculture transformed iteration of german culture
00:25:12.300 might be suppressing potentially thriving smaller iterations of other types of german culture and
00:25:17.820 to a german individual who might hear all of this and see this as uh insulting i would actually take it
00:25:24.300 as the exact opposite because if you are a german individual and you care about german culture or
00:25:29.100 identity you want people like me out there calling out just how bad things have gotten so that you can
00:25:36.860 more clearly identify just how much the mainstream of german society has failed and the degree to which
00:25:44.380 you need to turn the car for germany to survive a person yelling at you saying hey that's not working
00:25:51.260 that's not working that's not working well if you're in the car that's driving to the cliff that
00:25:55.820 person is doing you a favor because if you can't convince the other people in that car to turn before
00:26:00.140 you get to the cliff it doesn't matter that the person insulted you by saying that's not working
00:26:04.860 you're flying off that cliff it would be great if there was any way that any any last chance of the
00:26:11.580 country saving itself but things are looking bleak right now however you might actually feel more
00:26:17.740 optimistic by the end of this video than you feel right now simone really i hope so because oh man
00:26:24.620 and when i talk about weakness so people understand what i mean like a sickly country
00:26:28.140 or a sickly region because i often speak disparagingly about many european countries in 2000s
00:26:34.140 so in the in the in the early 2000s simone uh the eu and the united states had around the same gdp
00:26:40.380 today the us gdp is 80 larger than the eu's almost double the size that is how sickly it is
00:26:47.740 it is in the process of dying so now let's go over this story here okay national polling the afd this
00:26:59.340 is the conservative party in germany and they'll say oh it's a far right party we'll get to their
00:27:03.580 stuff and you'll be like that doesn't sound far right at all that actually sounds like more moderate
00:27:07.580 than our republican party and you're like yes it is more moderate more moderate than even the new
00:27:12.460 right faction of our even more moderate than you and i really wow yes the afd is currently polling
00:27:18.460 as the second largest party in germany was 18 of support surpassing the chancellor olaf's social
00:27:23.820 democrat party spd in federal elections were held now the afd could potentially become the second
00:27:29.740 largest faction in the bundestag uh recent electoral success the afd won its first state election in
00:27:35.820 thurnberg capturing approximately 32 to 33 of the votes in saxony afd closely trailed the cud with
00:27:43.020 both parties receiving 30 to 31 of the votes the party finished second in european parliamentary
00:27:48.140 elections held in june in the 2024 european parliamentary elections 16 of 16 to 24 year olds
00:27:55.100 voted for the afd tripling its share of the vote in that demographic compared to 2019 and what you'll see
00:28:00.460 is the afd is a party of the young that's who's moving to it that's who's voting for it and people
00:28:05.980 who are invested in the future right not just social signaling actually trying to figure out real
00:28:10.860 solutions well they're not going to have to live in the country they they they're going to have to
00:28:14.780 raise kids in that country and and grow old in that i mean theoretically the majority of young
00:28:20.300 voters in germany made their vote solely on the decision of environmentalism and and that's like
00:28:25.100 and that's been the course thing that switched and now they care about peace was in europe and german
00:28:28.700 prosperity but it used to be just about environmentalism and i think that they uh
00:28:32.140 screwed that by shutting down all the by the green party of germany shutting down their nuclear
00:28:36.140 plants so they could become reliant on russian oil it's like come on we know who you're really
00:28:40.060 serving come on guys we know who's funding you greta thornburg state elections in the berndesrog
00:28:46.540 state election almost one-third of young people voted for the afd and third thurnbergia and again
00:28:52.780 i'm mispronouncing all these more than a third of young people almost 40 of the 18 to 29
00:28:57.260 year olds voted for the afd 40 percent and social media influence afd has been particularly
00:29:02.620 successful on platforms like tiktok where their parliamentary faction has 414 000 followers their
00:29:09.260 videos receive over 50 000 total views with posts amassing hundreds or even thousands or even
00:29:16.540 millions of views shift in priorities and this is where they talk about where they used to care about
00:29:20.700 climate change five years ago and now they say peace in europe is their primary priority which is
00:29:25.740 why the afd one of the things that they push for is germany to stop funding ukraine to in the war
00:29:31.500 so again obviously like lefties are going to hate that so their their their stances are they're anti
00:29:37.260 immigration they are anti-eu and euro skeptic they were founded to protest the euro as the eu's sole
00:29:44.540 currency and they reject bailouts of eu member countries this is reasonable that's super reasonable
00:29:51.980 they advocate for disengagement with the european union the european union is a horrifying thing
00:29:56.700 that it exists it's a massive bureaucracy it's not just an elected body it's a technocratic body of
00:30:03.580 oligarchs well and it's not it has not been good for europe it has not been good for business it has not 1.00
00:30:08.780 been good for innovation it has not been good for growth and remember when you think about the income of
00:30:13.340 people of across nations it's just in the disparities is depressing i think that the gdp
00:30:21.740 in the us and the eu when the eu for was first established was neck and neck like on average and
00:30:27.660 now like i said it was it was average so in in in europe they had the same gdp as the us yeah and now
00:30:34.300 there's just no there's no contest it's so sad because i you it it was the eu that has done this it's
00:30:41.740 it's this regulatory morass it's this oh there's just unwillingness to to think about innovation and
00:30:48.940 change and to not let individuals and businesses do their thing oh i just don't get me started
00:30:54.620 am i interrupting something important impossible i work for the government oh and i thought i had
00:30:59.900 thought that the eu also meant like truly free trade within this region and no it's not like no
00:31:07.420 with this just what's the benefit what was the point here well the point was just just so you
00:31:13.180 know what like the actual point of the eu was if you're asking that hypothetically and you're not
00:31:17.020 actually aware it was mostly set up by french politicians to give germany a chance to absolve
00:31:22.940 themselves for the crimes of world war ii by essentially paying out tons of money to support the rest of
00:31:28.060 europe and create this sort of european peace um and so yeah germany was the core economic producer
00:31:35.500 of europe and the eu predominantly drew from them as a source of income and this is actually something
00:31:41.420 that's about to change both because of germany's aging population and because of the huge migrant 1.00
00:31:46.300 population which is not a productive population within the country which means that france is going
00:31:50.940 to become the primary economic producer of europe and i suspect the eu will dissolve pretty quickly
00:31:55.980 as soon as france realizes that's not a net beneficiary but a net uh contributor to the eu
00:32:02.300 they were always in it as sort of a weaselly manipulation game it was never about you know
00:32:07.980 helping people this is peter's eye hands take at least oh okay you know this isn't just coming from
00:32:12.860 like me and my anti my francophobic position it's coming from our favorite earnest hiker
00:32:19.980 yeah and one who is very different from us politically as well but this is one of his positions that i
00:32:24.220 quite agree with yeah well we also just love him he's just the second phase of it was making sure 0.87
00:32:29.340 that the germans never tried any of that crazy war shit again and the way they did that was basically 0.62
00:32:35.980 by placing a well there's no other word for it it's a tax but basically they got german industrialists 0.97
00:32:41.820 with all their efficiencies who are no longer building tanks to pay a portion of their proceeds
00:32:46.540 to french agriculturalists so the french basically built out the subsidy system that the germans had to
00:32:51.740 pay for and everything else that has happened in the european union since has been a modification
00:32:58.380 of that original deal over time that evolved to pay for agricultural funds for infrastructure funds
00:33:04.220 for economic development funds basically use german economic strength to pay for the unification of
00:33:09.500 europe and the germans went along with this not just because they were told to but in the aftermath
00:33:13.820 of world war ii we had two generations of germans were basically born saying sorry how can i make this 0.89
00:33:19.740 right and the french always had an idea but that's not the environment we're in now after a century 0.87
00:33:25.420 of some of the fastest globalization on record the germans are literally running out of people their 0.90
00:33:29.820 birth rate's been dropping for a century their birth rate has been below replacement rate for the
00:33:34.780 better part of seven decades and this next decade is the decade where the last worker generation they
00:33:41.660 have ages into mass retirement and so the germans are going to go from the piggy bank that has paid for 1.00
00:33:47.180 everything to a country that actually absorbs european funds and when the biggest contributor
00:33:53.100 to the system becomes the biggest taker we are in a very different economic environment so the french
00:33:58.540 are going to have to make a choice do they continue with the current system knowing it's going to go
00:34:02.940 bankrupt knowing that they they are no longer going to be a taker nation but a contributing nation
00:34:08.140 contributing more much more than the germans ever did in order to pay for german retirements or do they
00:34:13.020 try something new okay so they also are again have anti-islamic policies they say so what do these
00:34:19.020 anti-islamic policies look like they call for restrictions of the influence of islam on germany
00:34:23.740 like sharia law stuff and they propose for bans on quote-unquote islamic symbols of power
00:34:28.540 such as minarets public calls to islamic worship and full body veils that is perfectly reasonable why 0.99
00:34:34.940 would there be public calls to worship in germany that's not their culture that's that that would be an
00:34:41.900 affront to their culture that should absolutely not be happening in germany well what's wrong with
00:34:45.980 full body veils you know what if you're having a bad face day you know i understand a country
00:34:52.220 thinking it's not safe to have people going around in full body veils in you can especially with the
00:34:58.380 incredible rise of knife crime of crime yeah that seems like a totally reasonable thing to restrict
00:35:05.900 honestly i think that with the rise of ai and facial recognition especially when people start
00:35:09.900 wearing glasses they can just immediately tell who you are what you're thinking now was what you said
00:35:14.940 before about the problem that you learned about and pray of cultures immigrating into your country 1.00
00:35:19.580 that see women as second-class citizens yeah there's a pretty big correlation between muslims
00:35:25.580 who make their spouses and children daughters wear full body veils and those which dehumanize women 0.98
00:35:32.540 yeah i mean obviously when it's forced yeah i just i don't know i feel like we're entering an age in
00:35:38.060 which people are going to want to with ar glasses and everything i don't think so i think we're
00:35:43.340 entering an age where people realize that there's no such thing as personal privacy anymore
00:35:47.820 yeah sorry okay german nationalism so they promote a quote-unquote german first ideology similar to
00:35:54.860 trump's america's first stance have any thoughts on that that that's considered like far-right nationalism
00:36:00.780 having an american first stance that makes perfect sense you should be treating your own country first 0.86
00:36:05.100 yeah but for a long time germany has been this whole like how can we make it right attitude to
00:36:09.260 the point where they've become a literal nazis again and accomplished everything the nazis wanted to
00:36:14.140 accomplish taking over the country i don't know that there's still some jews around the german left is 0.87
00:36:20.860 working on that they regularly hold protests about israel about the existence of jews oh about israel
00:36:27.980 yeah but not jews in their country well that's because they got rid of nope oh very very few 1.00
00:36:33.260 jews are left in germany almost not really yeah that's what made up most of israel's founding
00:36:38.300 population is the ones in germany were just like i am not safe here i don't care that you say we're
00:36:42.540 safe this time i actually want to be somewhere where we are the majority population and i can feel
00:36:47.420 any degree of safety with my life and that's why they migrated to israel and that's how israel got 0.91
00:36:52.060 at the start was with the german jewish population and now the wokes in germany are looking to finish
00:36:57.340 the job because they have created an ideology that mirrors hitler's ideology which says that they are
00:37:01.900 being or other groups are being victimized by jews and now the jews need to be you know rightfully
00:37:07.660 exterminated as a result of that which is horrifying yikes um all right so they oppose the current
00:37:15.820 government policies their credits they criticize angela's markel's more moderate approach particularly on
00:37:20.700 immigration calling for uh significant changes in german politics they want very big changes in
00:37:25.020 german politics which yes okay good um and angela merkel they are also seen as a party of law and
00:37:32.140 order they want more like legal reform and like actually enforcing yeah that makes sense and they
00:37:37.580 have some degree of skepticism around climate change or climate change or at least the prioritization of
00:37:42.300 climate change within germany which i can understand when the people yeah because they're not in
00:37:46.220 the when they say that they're prioritizing climate change they're not actually prioritizing climate
00:37:50.300 change so screw that so how seriously could they be taking climate change if they're shining down
00:37:53.980 nuclear reactors yeah i mean like clearly climate change doesn't mean what they think it means like
00:37:58.780 i do not think that word means what you think it means kind of thing and if you want to see how bad
00:38:02.620 it is i'll put on screen a graph here of where they could be if they had gone france's path and
00:38:07.020 actually put up the nuclear reactors and gone to carbon neutral yeah which is around where france is
00:38:11.340 because they kept their nuclear reactors while germany didn't just not build them it deactivated them
00:38:17.100 oh germany oh germany germany germany is having trouble all right um so the motion to ban the adf
00:38:27.100 more than a hundred german lawmakers have initiated the process specifically 113 members of the bundersag
00:38:32.620 the lower house of parliament has signed an application to ban the adf a majority of
00:38:36.380 parliamentarians would need to support a ban for it to be considered by the court and there are 734
00:38:41.980 members you can see it's not close to that as well as the fact that of the people who have backed the
00:38:46.220 proposal so far few of the members are leading political parties even if it was passed the
00:38:51.580 application would have to go to the president's barbell bass sorry the german parliament
00:38:58.620 i don't know what the lawmakers look these are all nonsense words german german isn't a real language
00:39:06.700 you know this i know this sorry i just i love it so much when you put your words in other people's
00:39:14.220 languages and in our own but yes come on it's it's not a real country it's not a real language
00:39:19.740 no it's the best language i will spend the day getting to know london's history history began on
00:39:25.740 july 4th 1776 everything before that was a mistake it's a great country i have your children have german
00:39:34.060 heritage i love germany i love the bread i love the word for everything in germany i dated a
00:39:41.420 german girl for a long time by the way simone and yeah so you're okay with german girls communist she 0.86
00:39:46.540 was uh no she's the one who was insulted that you liked her for her brain and yes that actually was 0.77
00:39:53.660 the one she broke up with me because she said i only liked her for her brains and not her body enough 0.94
00:39:58.300 apparently she she was very attractive but it is true that i predominantly choose who i date based
00:40:04.940 on their ability to have interesting conversations and and show their intellectual powerhouse and she
00:40:11.020 did that and culturally that is what i admire in women like that's what i was raised to admire 0.96
00:40:15.980 that's what my culture and my ancestors admired was being a workhorse and being intelligent and she 0.99
00:40:21.900 simone was recently talking about this that one of my ancestors they had a thing where they built
00:40:25.980 plowshares for the women in their family so that they could because he had only daughters he had
00:40:30.300 nine daughters and a wife and people were like well what do you do like they can't work then he
00:40:34.540 didn't want to buy animals when he could buy more land so he he fitted them with with plowshares
00:40:40.380 that were made for humans which i love and again this isn't him treating them like second
00:40:44.700 class citizens some people can be like oh this is him dehumanizing them he had one for himself as
00:40:48.540 well this was something that that just the family did because they didn't want to waste money
00:40:52.380 when more money could go to more land keep in mind i mean these days like people are literally
00:40:56.460 strapping weights to themselves and dragging them along the ground to do strength and conditioning
00:41:00.780 training so i'm just saying he was ahead of his time all right it's very funny when we think about
00:41:05.820 like traditional americanism and i've talked about this and i think that the shift between the new
00:41:09.740 right and the old right could a hundred percent if you're talking about the shift between the deep
00:41:13.820 south aristocratic culture and the new right clan culture can be seen in the type of women that they 1.00
00:41:18.940 idealize with the deep south idealizing this aristocratic sort of dandy culture idealizing
00:41:25.660 very eminent traditional women right it's very tomboy it's ornamental women versus work partners 0.99
00:41:35.900 yeah it's do you want a woman who's like a woman from a country song or do you want a woman who's like 1.00
00:41:41.420 a woman from a 1950s the hollywood glorified video or something like that and it's just a different type of 0.83
00:41:48.300 woman and i can appreciate both but i think that's a good way to tell who are you talking to 1.00
00:41:52.220 is what type of girls are they chasing but anyway back to this reasons for the ban attempt so let's 0.99
00:41:56.940 go over why they're they're arguing that it has the right to be banned in the way that hitler banned
00:42:01.500 the parties that oppose him they argue that the party violates constitutional principles and human
00:42:06.460 dignity because they're just against immigrants so well we'll go over the horrible things they said
00:42:11.500 about immigrants that they see as bans against human dignity okay or or as setting off this ban
00:42:17.420 against human dignity they are accused of seeking to abolish free democratic basic order and maintaining
00:42:24.540 a quote-unquote actively combatic and aggressive attitude towards this order so wait wait wait they
00:42:29.180 want to ban the party in the country that has the second most voters because that party is anti-democratic
00:42:35.820 values this is very much the vibe of people who are like how can trump win when he's a felon whereas 0.99
00:42:44.220 he's a felon for the most ridiculous charge i have ever heard paying you're a prostitute like it's 0.98
00:42:51.100 like you guys know that that's a trumped up charge right like that's the anti-democratic thing trump 0.99
00:42:56.060 isn't the one hitting his opponents with spurious lawsuits that's you and you are showing it when you
00:43:01.660 call him a felon in the same way these guys are saying we want to ban this party for being undemocratic
00:43:10.140 from having their voters vote count like can you imagine can you imagine like the absolute like and and
00:43:17.740 i i love this example of it's like muggles can't see magic it's leftists can't see when they act like totalitarian fascists 0.93
00:43:24.860 they literally will accuse an opponent of one thing while doing the exact same thing and finally
00:43:30.220 germans domestic intelligence agency has classified the adf as a potential case of extreme right-wing
00:43:36.300 activities like of course they have if they're dominated by the sort of deep state slime that the
00:43:42.220 rest of these people are like okay so that's pretty well i mean it sounds like my understanding
00:43:49.500 is that a coalition of politicians sees this as a credible threat to their order and they are taking
00:43:56.540 it out i mean that's just just like we see with the left yeah the left in america and yes mr mustache
00:44:03.820 what are these horrible things that this party has said about immigrants yes what okay they've called
00:44:09.580 them here here is how they dehumanize them so much their party racing myself invaders intruders
00:44:16.860 and culturally alien hold on
00:44:25.420 they've also called them knifemen which okay considering the rates of knife crime have gone up
00:44:31.260 3x in like five years i can understand that and parasites and while parasites is a mean word it is
00:44:40.140 technically accurate if they are not contributing to the state but they are taking from the state
00:44:44.460 that is not nice it's not it's not nice but it's definition so then even if it got through those
00:44:51.820 first phases in the application would have to be made to the federal constitutional court the court
00:44:55.580 needs to be convinced that the adf operates in a manner hostile or aggressive towards the constitution
00:44:59.820 i just can't believe they're like you're hostile to the constitution says the guy's trying to ban you
00:45:04.540 and then the parliament the the boot and sag or whatever has to get rid of them
00:45:08.700 the thing is that it's just making the adf more popular there's being seen as victims of the elites
00:45:15.020 they're being seen as the people fighting for individual rights and a real future for germany
00:45:19.820 while the oligarchs press them i mean it's absolutely true it's the same way that and you
00:45:24.380 saw this in trump's polling numbers the insane felony connection he was given by that new york court
00:45:29.660 which even many democratic operatives tried to get them not to go forward with and the judge who did
00:45:33.580 it actually was like we shouldn't do this actually i thought the judge who did it literally like
00:45:39.340 sought the appointment saying that that was okay he saw the appointment thing you do it but he like
00:45:43.580 chickened out at the last minute and was like this is a really bad idea i heard somebody say recently
00:45:47.820 but he was pressured to do it but it was a bad idea he'd better be pressured to do it if he ran on
00:45:52.460 that promise follow through well it was just the most i think that he thought the evidence was going to
00:45:57.580 be stronger no um and there just wasn't a felony to be had the only thing that they were able to get
00:46:03.180 him on was mislabeling hush money payments to somebody that he had slept with which kamala's
00:46:09.500 husband almost certainly did with his maid so like it's it's what you do it's yeah like okay anyway
00:46:17.820 now to to get a better understanding of what's going on here this is mostly the this has been
00:46:23.900 planned since late october so it's not new as is suggested by the memes that are going around about
00:46:27.740 this it's the work of a disgruntled and unimportant cdu politician named marco wanderitz who has been
00:46:34.060 banging on about outlawing the adf since he lost his election in direct oh so this isn't even an
00:46:39.260 elected no no he's someone who lost to an adf rival in 2021 um loser went back his seat by banning the
00:46:47.820 opposition well that's one way to do it sure i mean that's a common political tactic and even if they
00:46:54.460 won they would you know not not be able to ban them until after february 2025 so it wouldn't even
00:47:01.900 be within this next election cycle but i mean i think the whole thing shows in the us as bad as
00:47:07.020 things are this is where they could go if we don't make these stands i think that people do not realize
00:47:13.020 there hasn't been in europe recently a single case in which a right-leaning government has seriously
00:47:19.980 attempted to end democracy but there have been multiple cases of left-leaning governments like
00:47:25.660 look in the uk right now where you can be banned for memes that are too offensive with the rise of
00:47:32.060 so-called non-crime hate incidents arrests over grossly offensive memes can you really speak your mind
00:47:39.180 in 21st century britain i think individuals when they think about like where the threat to democracy
00:47:44.700 is coming from in modern political alliances yeah when you vote for the left you are voting against
00:47:52.060 democratic values no matter what country you are yeah these countries do not care about democracy
00:47:58.300 anymore and they are fundamentally anti-democratic and pro-oligarchical as you can see in the us i mean
00:48:03.660 it's not just it like you can be like oh well this idea of like ending voting and like that being okay and
00:48:08.940 the oligarchs making all the decisions that might be okay in germany but like the us democratic party
00:48:14.380 certainly wouldn't have arbitrarily canceled their primaries and then appointed a a candidate who
00:48:20.540 nobody like they they certainly wouldn't have cheated to prevent somebody like bernie sanders
00:48:25.500 from winning an election process if if you think and this is what i say to lefties in the us okay if you
00:48:33.500 believe in like socialist values genuinely right even even if you're like a socialist you are better off
00:48:39.820 voting republican and becoming a part of the republican coalition than you are being a democrat
00:48:45.100 because at least you can move the overton window there there's nothing you can do with the democratic
00:48:49.020 apparatus at this point yes only the oligarchs who make decisions of the democratic party and i'd
00:48:53.100 point out if you join the republican party they're actually implementing socialist ideas just sane ones
00:48:58.540 that work so look at trump's american academy idea that we went over in another video what is this
00:49:04.220 other than socialized university that's available for free to all americans like isn't that what we
00:49:11.420 wanted on all sides well not the side that was using the university system to create a class of
00:49:18.540 basically okay what isn't that what we performatively wanted on all sides yeah it's what they performatively
00:49:23.980 wanted but now they need to re-edit you know and i think that this is the reality is that whatever your
00:49:30.380 economic politics are whatever you are if you are against the oligarchs you are against the left
00:49:35.500 wherever you are now and i oh my god i love they're like but trump the horrible oligarch funded trump so
00:49:42.140 much money so first of all elon wasn't even trump's number one donor he wasn't even trump's number two
00:49:48.060 donor he was trump's number three donor and the left in our country received three x as much money as
00:49:55.340 trump did and do you who do you think that money came from you think that was grassroots you think
00:49:59.500 camilla received grassroots money oh my god people don't don't be so brainwashed sheep but what are
00:50:07.180 your thoughts do you think germany can bounce back do you think that these these guys can gain power
00:50:12.460 and restore sanity to europe and make me not dismiss germany as a country that i'm glad is gonna
00:50:18.380 be extinguished yes i think germany has a shot because you cannot take a language so great and bread so
00:50:25.580 fantastic and people so cool i love germans and and just give them an automatic loss i'm not writing
00:50:32.220 them off i love i love germany and i i want to see it when i want to see it thrive and it would break my
00:50:39.980 heart if it doesn't so but it's germans it's showing such weakness i know look i'm glad to our users who are
00:50:49.660 over there that it's europe and not are up because not my not my place it's a mess i'm bringing the dad
00:50:57.820 jokes but oh god yeah i it's one of those things of like i wish them well while maintaining a safe
00:51:06.540 distance i wish you're like it's very much like that meme i don't know if like the kid drowning and
00:51:12.460 the mom's like i don't know that's a good one but it's like thumbs up like high-fiving the person
00:51:17.260 drowning and you're like yeah they put out their hand save me and someone's like high five
00:51:27.740 but i mean okay but this is the reality and of course i say this whenever i talk with germans
00:51:31.740 is get like i do not it would be great if they could take back their country if if this grows
00:51:38.620 within the young generation grows and grows and grows and they can build any sort of realistic
00:51:43.500 sane party was in their country well if anything the fact that this conservative party is so scary
00:51:49.420 to the powers that be in germany that they're trying to suppress it though as you point out
00:51:54.940 it may be too little too late their creepy efforts and if anything these creepy efforts will coalesce
00:52:00.780 this group even more there's nothing that unites people quite like a common enemy and a really
00:52:06.060 blatant and obvious one too and they're really good like they're doing a great job at vilifying
00:52:11.420 themselves with this you know just being blatantly anti-democratic and adversarial toward a group that
00:52:17.740 has legitimate grievances so i mean this could be a great development in terms of being a turning
00:52:24.780 point you know and and there have been some major tipping points around the world when it comes to
00:52:30.620 we'll say wokeism or the urban monoculture going too far and showing itself to be the toxic thing
00:52:36.380 that it really is showing itself to not actually deliver on the value proposition itself so this i
00:52:42.700 i see this personally i'm chalking it up to a a promising sign because for example when a fever
00:52:51.020 spikes in a human body that's a sign that it's fighting off the the virus here we're seeing a
00:52:55.660 fever spike we're seeing some some conflict some some antibodies then that that could be but here's
00:53:01.260 what i'm saying as the ever realist if i lived in germany and if there was somebody in germany
00:53:06.700 who i cared about or had a family in germany yeah i would be everything i could to migrate to the
00:53:10.700 united states i think we gave people too much freedom yeah you're right man i'll call the cops
00:53:16.060 no no no we can't call the cops that's admitting failure dennis we gave people too much freedom
00:53:20.300 that's the problem yeah yeah yeah yeah it's the same it's the same if i lived in the uk um well there's
00:53:27.340 some great german enclaves in the united states so yeah and a lot of the germans the great germans
00:53:33.020 are one some of the not so great germans are also not in germany anymore but just some went to
00:53:39.580 argentina some went to the united states some went to israel i'm just saying they're all over the place
00:53:44.940 just choose your spot choose a good one you know no honestly you know this is so weird i think a german
00:53:54.540 if they wanted to maintain their culture would be better off moving to israel than staying in 0.88
00:53:57.580 germany or the united states again no no i think less over israel but i'm just saying if i had to
00:54:02.460 choose between migrating to israel or staying in germany and migrate to israel well i'm obviously
00:54:07.180 because i mean both the israel and and the united states are are going to have an easier ride through
00:54:11.740 demographic collapse than germany at this point because again germany has is only accelerated its
00:54:16.300 pathway along demographic collapse by not only having a low birth rate itself but by actively bringing in 0.99
00:54:22.700 a a non-tax-paying population base which is going to accelerate the rate at which it will not be able
00:54:30.060 to cover the cost of its pensions and social services and and roads and infrastructure and
00:54:34.620 government so yeah that's that's not it's it's it's it is not a safe place to be for the future if
00:54:40.940 merely because they are accelerating their demographic collapse through their immigration policy
00:54:45.100 it's simple yeah this is it's it's sad so i hope you guys can get this sorted it'd be cool if you
00:54:52.460 exist in the future but realistically if it was my family i wouldn't risk it i'd get out of there
00:54:59.820 yeah well yeah i guess that's just a long a long history of germans getting out of germany so the
00:55:07.180 tradition continues well and i think that that's part of why germany today is as sickly as it is
00:55:12.780 because they went through a period where everybody who the fun germans left let's say a family culture
00:55:18.940 of caring about like having a lot of patriotism or having a lot of willingness to you know fight for
00:55:24.940 their country almost all of them died like like almost all of them died and so but then you know
00:55:30.780 the ones who left honestly in their new home countries went on to have disproportionate influence
00:55:38.300 and did great things for example look at this christmas tree behind us do you know why we have a christmas
00:55:42.140 tree because specifically prince albert and queen victoria popularized the concept of a christmas tree
00:55:48.780 as a family decoration at christmas time and it was a german tradition to have a list
00:55:54.460 albert was from germany yeah right and keep in mind in the united states where we are in pennsylvania
00:55:59.900 if you look at the midlands cultural group they are a dominantly german cultural group that mostly
00:56:05.260 ended up washing out the quakers after the quakers initial influence yeah and they served under the
00:56:09.900 quakers for a long time and that's who you know when we talk about the anabaptists who i love so
00:56:13.260 much culturally speaking i see so many similarities between me and the anabaptists that's like amish
00:56:17.580 men and i and stuff like that they're a german cultural group they speak german that's what i'm
00:56:22.220 making you for dinner tonight i i found some ex somewhat ex-amish cooking influencers on youtube
00:56:29.980 we're gonna have poor man's steak tonight which is an amish treat oh gosh can you tell me about that
00:56:35.900 that really quick so i have to make a substitution that i think you're gonna love because it's not
00:56:41.580 typically how it's done but like you take a dutch oven a cast iron skillet and you fry hamburger patties
00:56:47.260 and butter and i actually have amish hamburger patties so this is gonna be great and then you put on top of
00:56:52.780 them thick slices of cheddar cheese and oh no first you layer on a big pat of cream of mushroom soup i'm
00:56:59.980 going to use instead some of your more savory asian sauces then you throw on a big slice of cheddar
00:57:06.140 cheese toss them in the oven broil them to melt the cheese and let the the cream of mushroom soup in 0.92
00:57:11.740 this case your sauces soak in and then serve them i would make a suggested change please instead of my
00:57:18.380 sauces use tomato soup oh yeah or i could use alfredo sauce i was thinking so that's kind of similar but
00:57:25.900 i think that i'll get alfredo sauce would probably be better so use alfredo sauce i don't think the
00:57:30.300 asian sauces are gonna go great with the cheddar cheese i don't know but but yeah i mean like
00:57:36.780 it's it's about the creaminess so i hear you on that but anyway like the amish are amazing germans
00:57:42.460 are awesome christmas poor man's steak bread great words like fantastic style so i don't know man like
00:57:51.420 like but yeah another thing i want to do tonight is set the sweet potato casserole that you gave me
00:57:58.540 slow cooking overnight in the slow cooker that's what it needs to be to be oh you just want me to 0.94
00:58:03.980 like throw the damn thing into the slow cooker throw the whole thing into the slow cooker and leave 0.84
00:58:08.220 it overnight i want it to be like a uh sweet potato okay but yeah okay sweet potato cheddar cheese brown 0.99
00:58:15.900 sugar butter mush that sounds pretty good to me i mean we have nothing to lose but the remainder of
00:58:22.860 the sweet potato casserole so that's i know it'll be good just trust me on this one okay yeah you got
00:58:28.380 it you got it all right well i love you and i love the germans so you can just go do your own thing all 0.98
00:58:35.900 right just go suck on an ear of corn or whatever it is you americans do i'm team germany i mean i'm 0.79
00:58:43.020 team america but i also like germans have a good one me too you look so festive i need to get a 0.98
00:58:52.780 christmas tree behind you i have plans oh i like that idea yeah yes no you want to put that on a
00:58:58.620 to-do list i will just remember it for a morning walk no no i'll just i it's at some point i will
00:59:05.180 it's something that you won't forget simone never forgets christmas that is really like it verboten
00:59:15.340 you gotta use you gotta use house magic and turn it back into a house house magic okay so if dark magic
