What I find really interesting is that this guy is basically a liberal, yet he has the decency to question the propaganda and breaks the basics down very well.

Wellll… Thats gonna be a long one.
Germany has quite a long history of bad decisions and being one of the core profiteurs of western imperialism, it is a bonafide imperial vassal state.
Due to this and the history of the third reich, german media is 90% propaganda with a couple true stories and a lot of nothing burger “criticism” of the western core values to appear “non authoritarian”.
Being a liberal extremist state, german values put “freedumb” above all else, especially public health and housing.
Because of all these things, the media mix consists of:
What this does is create a toxic sub reality. A left that developes in there is very different from what we on this server see as “left”.
Most people are either socialized into a right wing mindset (workers) or a left lib mindset (white collar, privileged students).
Both are actually right wingers as they still oppress minorities. Either they oppress “stupid people” or put all men into one basket, etc.
Its like blue haired screaming activists hating on “the orc” or push against the bds movement (which germans in 'leftist" circles associate with nazis) etc.
They hate china and dprk with a vengeance and will personally attack you if you so much as keep quiet while they push casual racism.
I left a group after they publicly crucified a guy who pushed the group for years. I asked for evidence for his alleged misdeeds and was called a mysoginist agent.
Thats the state of the german left.
