After the destruction of World War 2, the people of West Germany came together, worked really hard, and built an industrial powerhouse. But in recent decades, Leftist politicians have completely destroyed the country.
Germany is the Perfect Country . . . for Lazy People!
Is it not ironic how we’re constantly told that America is Bad and Europe is Fantastic. Given that the nose-ring laden, blue haired speakers have never been good with “math”, it’s not very surprising that such statements are not based on . . . facts!
“I believe in renewable energy…”
Okay, I can’t help you. You just want the transition from reliable sources to unreliable to be different than it is now.
You’re as bad as those suffering from socialism and thinking the cure is more socialism.
“I believe in taxes to support socially good programs by the government…”
But he believes the government is “wasting those taxes”. Dude. Here’s how you keep the government from wasting your 70% tax rate. STOP IT. Cut them off. Germany is a communist/fascist State whose confiscatory taxation has made you a SLAVE to the State. You are spending YOUR life paying for all the free shit the Muslim invaders (and breeders) are sucking up.
Listened to all 30 minutes or so. He nails the problems of Germany.
Then he decides where to live so he picks in his mind the best country on earth: Japan.
His reasoning is good.
Hope it works out for him.
Then read all the comments … esp. from all the Japanese who say LIVING in Japan isn’t quite as it appears to the tourists view. But what I’d really like to know is what the tax rate is in Japan … if it’s anywhere near 70% … then Japan has the same disease as Germany.
Top marginal tax rate is 45% in both countries
There is also a 10% flat tax on prior years income in Japan.
Japanese sales tax is 10% vs Germany 17%
Social Security + health insurance 40% Tax on income in Germany – evenly split – company and taxpayer
Social Security + health insurance 30% Tax on income in Japan – evenly split – company and taxpayer
There are various income caps around $70,000 for the above in both countries
They both suck.
The point the German was making is that you get your moneys worth back from the Japanes government in taxation and they don’t hate children like the Earth/Gaia worshipping Germans do.
I lived in Germany, married a German and didn’t like the place at all. Japan wouldn’t be any better and although I speak German, Japanese looks impossible to learn for an older person especially its written language. You see a word in German and the pronounciation is always the same. I have no idea what all those Japanese chicken scratches are. God bless the children learning that language.
I’m babysitting my granddaughter tonight … and here is one of the books I’m reading to her …

Her grandmother is Japanese (not my wife, the in-laws), her mom is half-Japanese … and she’s learning Japanese words and written characters … at age 2

He wont leave his socialism behind. He will destroy any new place he settles. Japan is smart, he’ll be told to “F*ck Off!” before he can start doing any damage.
The young man is anything but a Socialist if you listened to him speak.
Germany really started downhill with Merkel. She was raised in East Germany and attended Karl Marx University. People like to mention she graduated as an engineer when praising her devotion to the green scam. They fail to mention where she graduated from. The way things went with her in charge, you might wonder if she was a communist plant in the nominally conservative CDU party.
Merkel went to Karl Marx University and I went to Harvard.
Which is more Left Wing?
It’s a toss up to me.
L – Germany, the economic powerhouse of Europe, requires cheap, reliable energy to power its industrial productivity. Historically, the German people has been an overachievers in science, technology, military, philosophy and religion, in productivity.
The home of the Reformation, that controversy created such a demand for writings on the subject; the boutique printing presses changed into a profitable industry. The people of the industrialized world could afford to became literate in any and all subjects.
During the Cold War, free societies flourished in comparison to totalitarian ones. Free societies had to work hard to stay that way and herald the values of Western Civilization. Marxism was a clear and present danger, and unable to takeover the institutions it had cleverly infiltrated. Once the Soviet Union collapsed. The Cult. Marxist influence grew and grew, as a wealthy and complacent society became intellectually and morally lazy. All of Western Civilization, especially the formerly Great Britain, Europe and the Anglo-sphere countries face an internal Clash of Civilizations. Their strength is a deep cultural memory to draw on that is centuries going on 2000 years deep.
Well to be clear, national socialism and communism both are spawn of German ideologues. I always laugh when people call Nazi’s “far right” because that phrase is used typically by communists simply because EVERYTHING other than their own idiotic ideology is “right wing”. In reality, there is little daylight between the two ideologies. National Socialism is just a more efficient form of Marxism in that it understands that communists are too stupid to run any sort of productive endeavor. The two ideologies are similar to two drug street gangs fighting over the same territory….one gang wears red do-rags and the other blue.
