I have a lot of family in Germany, and it's one of the nicest countries I've visited. This is often about the other stuff.

Every rule/law/regulation is a way to tell someone else what they can/cannot do). And historically, they Germany a lot of bad things. I try not to rub that latter part in, because most alive today had nothing to do with that. But there's a reason that stuff happened there: and it is the collectivism that is the birthplace of Marx and Engels (as well as the Socialism of Hitler), and that socialist poison is infused in their water and culture, and exists (in its more moderate form), just waiting for the opportunity to spring out again.
- 2018.07 Mandatory Field Trips - Germany: Hamburger Morgenpost reports that parents who opted their kid out of a field trip to a Mosque, can be fined (50€). Your kids are wards of the state, Parents are just there to raise the little minions in a state-approved manner. The state owns children, not parents.
- Berlin Wall - The NYT does historical gymnastics to give credit to "Tearing down that wall" to not Reagan, for calling for it, making the USSR bankrupt themselves keeping up with his military spending, and being a beacon of freedom. They spin history to give credit to a clerical mistake of Günter Schabowski.
- Dunkirk (2017) - This wasn't bad, but it was a bit of mismanaged expectations. Many will go in expecting a Historical War movie and see a vignette movie telling 3 overlapping stories. A British soldier fleeing the german advance, a British boater coming to save them, and a RAF pilot, and how those stories intersect. Unecessarily complx, but not bad stories.
- Fascism - Fascism the left believes that while the National Socialists Workers Party contained Socialism in the name, thought and deed, they all came from Socialism, Stalin thought they were socialists, that doesn't mean they were real socialists. (The no true Scotsman fallacy). And if they weren't Socialists, then they must be "right wing".
- German Free Speech - 🇩🇪Germany: "Free Speech" is an oxymoron. Free speech/expression means freedom to say/do things I dislike. Germans don’t have that. Everything is by permission, and many things aren’t allowed.
- German Green Energy - If it's a bad idea, Germany will be the first to adopt it (like Marxism, Fascism, or Green Energy). Even before America's Bronx Socialist (AOC) was advocating for a Green New Deal, Germany was trying their very own Green New Deal. (Though they don't call it that). And the results were a fucking disaster, as completely predicted by everyone to the right of Marx.
- German Liberty - Germany is a free society: unless you do something the collective decides you shouldn't. Then you're far less free than in America. The point isn't to bash what is a lovely country, and great people, it's to remind people that Freedom isn't how you treat people you agree with, but how much people you don't like or agree with.
- Gini Coefficient - The Gini Coefficient came about when Corrado Gini wrote the book on Fascism. He said that income should be evenly distributed, and if it wasn’t, the imbalance is an excuse to seize and redistribute wealth and liberty to make things “more fair”. His coefficient is basically just that: a measure of how economically fascists (socialist) your country is.
- Global Massacres/Berlin Truck Attack - 🇩🇪 Berlin, Germany: A 24-year-old Anis, had his Tunisian assylum rejected (and a history of legal problems; bar brawl, drug dealing, stabbing), he joined ISIS, and drove a truck through a crowd.
- Global Massacres/Erfurt (School) - 🇩🇪 Efurt, Germany: A 19-year-old expelled student (Robert Steinhäuser) shot and killed 16 people and then himself using shotguns and a pistol. The lack of an assault rifle didn't reduce the death count.
- Global Massacres/Germanwings Flight 9525 - 🇫🇷 Nice, France: Suicidal Andreas Lubitz flew the Lufthansa plane (from Barcelona, Spain to Düsseldorf, Germany), into the mountains near Nice. He had been declared "unfit to work" by his Doctor, but Andreas hid that, and poor regulations allowed him to lock the other pilot out of the cockpit.
- Global Massacres/Munich Olympics - 🇩🇪 Munich, Germany: the Palestinian terrorist group Black September took eleven Israeli Olympic team members hostage and demanded that 234 Palestinian terrorists be freed in Israel. They killed the hostages along with a West German police officer during a failed rescue attempt.
- Global Massacres/Munich Shooting - 🇩🇪 Munich, Germany: David Ali Sonboly (18 yo Iranian-German) opened fire at a McDonald's restaurant near the Olympia shopping mall with a Glock 17 Pistol. He was running around shooting (and hiding) for two and a half hours before committing suicide. His rampage seemed to be anger over bullying, with a history of depression.
- Global Massacres/Winnenden (School) - 🇩🇪 Winnenden, Germany: 17-year-old (Tim Kretschmer) took his parents legally owned pistol, and went back to his high school, and started a shooting spree. When the cops arrived, he fled 25 miles to a neighboring town and shot some more people before he committed suicide. The Germans prosecuted the father, since the gun hadn't been secured in a safe.
- Libs of TikTok - LoTT was a Twitter account that exposed leftist ideology in schools, by sharing what the "teachers" posted online themselves. Since these radical lefists telling the truth horrified the public, the far-left claimed LoTT was promoting hate by letting the left tell their stories. So LoTT was attacked/doxxed by WaPo/Taylor Lorenz, German Government and other hate groups.
- Man in the High Castle - The premise of "what if the Nazi's and Japs won WWII" is a fascinating piece of alternate history. The premise exceeds the implementation for season 1: which turned in a mediocre spy thriller with a different backdrop, but it got better over following seasons. It was still a little weird parallel universes thing. So it was good enough.
- Angela Merkel - I'm not a fan of Angela Merkel, she seems to be incompetent in her buffoonery, and single handedly magnified Germany and the entire EU's problems with everything she touched, from immigration, to green energy, to Russia, and so on.
