I'm leaving Germany. In fact, I have
already left and I'm not coming back
ever. I mean,
I will come back to visit but not for
living. That time is over. Over the
years a lot of people have come up to me
and said, "Hey, I watched your videos
about Germany and they convinced me to
move to Germany." And now I have to say,
I'm sorry guys, things have changed.
I've been living in Germany for the
better part of my life. I grew up in the
south of Germany, lived for 30 years
plus in Germany. The last eight of which
were in Berlin. But with every year that
passes, things are getting kind of worse
and worse every year a little bit.
Quality of life in Germany is degrading
to a point where I don't see a future in
this country anymore. So, I'm moving
away. And in this video, I just want to
share my honest opinion about the state
of affair in Germany, give my two cents
about it, and tell you what led me to
this decision. Especially if you are
considering moving to Germany, building
a life there,
you should watch this video. It all
comes down to politics in the end. The
decisions your leaders make for your
country affect everybody in a good or in
a bad way. For 20 years, I've been
watching the government make one bad
decision after another. And I just can't
take it anymore. I I can't. Watching
politics in Germany is like watching a
prequel to the movie Idiocracy. If you
haven't watched that movie, you
definitely should. It's basically what's
happening in most of the world. Germany
is not an exception. I'd love to help
fixing it, you know, but then you would
have to go into politics and then you
have to deal with all the people that
are already there, which will drive you
mad for the rest of your life. So, the
only option you have left is to leave.
In the end, it all comes down to quality
of life and quality of life in Germany
is degrading every year more and the
pace seems to be accelerating.
So, I don't think that country will be a
good place to live in the foreseeable
future, maybe in the far future again.
It's not all bad, of course, but if you
can choose where you live, there's far
better places to do that. I have made
hundreds of videos about Germany and you
know all the good stuff already. So,
this video isn't going to be about pros
and cons. This video is about like the
decisions that made me leave. Why is
Germany not the best place to live anymore?
anymore?
First, the economy. Germany has been
stagnant or even in a recession for the
last few years and the last year
especially has been very brutal. There's
job cuts in all sectors, obviously
because of the decisions politicians made,
made,
one of which is the energy. As you all
know, Germany is an industrial
powerhouse. We We don't have many
resources, but we have a lot of like
industry, you know, that produces
things. For those industries, you need a
lot of energy. But Germany managed over
the last decade to become the most
expensive country in the world when it
comes to electricity. No other countries
in the world, maybe UK also, pays as
much for a kilowatt. It's ridiculous how
expensive electricity is here. You know,
Germany had this awesome plan to become
100% renewable energy, which is a good
thing. I believe in renewable energy,
sustainable, but the way it was
implemented was just the most stupid
thing I've ever seen in my life. Not the
most stupid things, but it's one of
them. So, basically we got rid of all
our nuclear power plants before we had
other power plants up and running to
replace that energy, which leads to this
kind of pretty long decade-long
transition to have high electricity
costs. Also, you have to import
electricity from other countries. I
don't want to get into the details. This
is just one fact that makes Germany an
unattractive place to do business for
businesses because it's so expensive, so
they they move to other places abroad
where it's cheaper. But of course, the
effect of that is less jobs available,
more unemployment, etc. You just have to
look at the news. All the major big
companies in Germany having mass layoffs
each month 2025, 10,000 here, 15,000
there, literally every month news like
that coming out. So, if you are looking
for a job, if you want to come to
Germany to work,
it's not a good time anymore. It was
five years ago,
but things have changed and it's not
only the electricity prices, it's also
AIs competing with human jobs. It all
comes together, which makes Germany not
a good place to look for a job anymore.
And apart from that, it's also not
motivating here to work more because if
you earn more, not much more, the
percentage of what you have to pay in
taxes and also social insurances and
everything, it goes up so much. If you
calculate all the things you have to pay
from your income, you can't even keep
half. You can keep maybe like 30% of
your income after deducting all the
taxes and social insurances. Germany is
a good country for like middle class
earnings because then you don't pay so
much tax. And then you have to pay 19%
tax again
on the things you buy, you as a
consumer. People keep forgetting. People
keep forgetting and I think that's
that's also why the system is designed
the way it is with the taxes and
everything. You're not only paying your
income tax and social insurances, you're
also paying VAT, Umsatzsteuer, which is
19%. If you put it in perspective,
seven out of 10 hours you are working
for the state, which in my opinion
is too much. You shouldn't work seven
out of 10 hours for the state.
It's just in our relation. You know,
Germany is a country of hard-working
people. Germans, they they don't love
work, but they work hard. That has its
pros and cons because if your
politicians are also hard-working people
and they are working hard in the wrong
direction, they are working very hard to
ruin this country. Just imagine how hard
you have to work as a politician to ruin
a nation with 80 million hard-working people.
people.
You've got to work damn hard for that.
You don't have to take all the facts
from me, you know. I'm just summing it
up here. All the economy advisers in
Germany, all the big firms, they're
saying this to the politicians, but
they're not doing anything about it.
They just act if you ignore the issue,
it's going to go away on their own.
But it's not. And things are even worse
if you're self-employed. Germany hates
entrepreneurs, you know. They've been
saying for years they need to make
things more attractive for startups, for
small businesses, for entrepreneurs to
attract them,
but they are doing exactly the opposite.
They make it every year kind of more
unattractive. If you want to do anything
in this country, they are going to make
it as hard as possible for no reason at
all. And if you're self-employed, you
have to pay even more than employees for
social insurances. You have to pay
double the rate for health insurance.
Now they even want to make pension
insurance obligatory for self-employed
people because the pension system is
falling apart and they're just
scrambling to to get more money in the
system, which will lead to more
entrepreneurs and freelancers to leave
like me cuz I'm not doing that. You know
how much pension insurance is in
Germany? Guess.
No, it's more.
More than that. You already have to pay
like 18% in health insurance and then
you will have to pay another 18.5%
for pension insurance, 18.5%.
If you earn €100 being self-employed,
€18 will go into pension insurance, into
a system you will never see anything
significant coming back because once we
are getting old enough to get pension,
inflation will have eaten most of it and
purchasing power of the money paid in
will be nothing because Germany has a
very bad pension
system, not like in the USA where you
can like invest it in different things.
Germany, you just pay it in and the
government puts it into who knows what,
but it's not growing, you know. It's
just like 2%, I think, a year it it
increases in value, which inflation is
already eating up. So, you're not going
to get a good pension in Germany.
So, it's not worth paying into it.
Employed people have to pay for it
already. For self-employed people, it
was not obligatory. For me, this would
be reason enough to leave Germany. To
pay 18% extra on
your income, it's mad. And it's not just
me, you know. You just have to look at
the surveys. There's plenty of surveys
out there that ask young people or
entrepreneurs or freelancers if they
want to stay in Germany, if they're
thinking about moving abroad, working
somewhere else, living somewhere else.
And from all the people I know, and I
know a lot of freelancers and people who
have like small businesses, none of them
want to stay in Germany. They either
have already left, are about to leave,
or are planning to leave. I am here
right now in Cyprus. I went to some
meetups here like full of German
entrepreneurs. They they all left and
they're all leaving to not just here,
you know. There's tens of thousands
entrepreneurs living here with
businesses. They just can't take it
anymore, the system in Germany. They
come here, they go to Spain, they go to
other places, you know, anywhere but
Germany to do business. A lot of people
think businesses should pay higher taxes,
taxes,
wealthy individuals should pay higher
taxes, that more money will be in the
system, but it's quite the opposite
because if you think like that, you're
not living in reality. People and
businesses can just move to another
country. And you've seen this in other
countries where they raised the taxes
for rich people, they raised the tax for
businesses. They just move abroad to
friendlier places for them. And in the
end, you have less tax money in the
system and you have less people who
contribute to the society you want to
build because they left, because they're
pissed off. Just to have it said, I
don't have a thing against taxes. If I
would see that the tax money I pay is in
good hands, you know, they they do
something good with it, but the amount
you see being wasted on the most stupid
things, it's just
it's unbelievable. So much money is
going into war, is going into social
welfare for lazy people. I'm not against
taxes at all, you know, taxes are good
thing, contributing something to
society, state can do something with
that money to make the quality of life
for everyone better, but in Germany, I I
don't see that happening anymore. Like
what I see is that the majority of taxes
is being wasted. Penalties are so high
if you are wait taxes in Germany, it's
it's worse than murder, right? So,
but there's no laws keeping politicians
accountable for wasting taxes.
And it should they should be accountable because
because
you work, as I said earlier, seven out
of 10 hours for the state, right?
And then they waste this money. There's
even a book coming out in Germany or
like a magazine that shows the biggest
tax wastes of the country each year. If
you look at it, you think like how on
earth is this possible? Who approved
those projects wasting billions of
taxpayer money? And taxpayer money is
literally human life. You worked for it.
You paid this money with your time that
you worked, and they're just wasting it.
I'd be glad to pay 70% of taxes if
if
quality of life would go
to the moon, you know, but it's it's
going down.
No logic. But you know who Germany is
really good country for?
Lazy people.
Germany has one of the best social
welfare systems in the world. And I
mean, it's so good, it's almost not
worth working a low-income job because
if you work for minimum wage full-time,
you barely make more than you would get
from social welfare. And by earning a
little bit more, I mean getting like a
few hundred euros more uh per month for
working full-time instead of going for
the social welfare system. And there's
going to be people in the comments, "Oh,
you just get 550 euro a month for social
welfare." And that's not true. You get
500 euro cash, and then they pay your
flat, where depends where you live, how
much it costs, you know. There's limits,
of course, but in a city like Munich,
for example, they will also pay for a
flat that costs 1,000 euro a month, and
then you have health insurance, which
would cost 300 euro a month if you would pay
pay
for it on your own. Also, you don't have
to pay for Betragservice, which is 18
euro a month, right? If you calculate
all those things together, you have like
a few hundred euro less
being on social welfare than working a
full-time job 40 hours a week on minimum
wage. The only logical option for a
person being in this situation is to go
for social welfare. You have 40 hours a
week for yourself. You can work on side
project. You can play video games all
day. You can get drunk all day. It
doesn't matter what you do. The only
thing you have to do is show up at the
job center once in a while and say,
"Yeah, yeah, I'm looking for a job."
That's it. And you get this for the rest
of your life. And what also a lot of
people don't know or don't want to know
is that
if you have children and you are
unemployed and get social welfare, your
children also will get Bürgergeld. They
will get social welfare. Especially for
unemployed people with children, it
doesn't make any sense to work at all.
They can spend time with their children.
The children also get like 500 euro a
month in Bürgergeld extra on top of what
the parent is getting. So, Germany is a
great place for lazy people who don't
want to work, have a lot of children,
get paid from the state. They give you a
big flat, a big house
for doing nothing. And that's great for
them, but it's not great for society as
a whole. And some people say that, "Ah,
these are just exceptions. Most people
they need
the benefits because they're they're
they can't work, they can't find a job."
But I can just tell you from my personal
experience, I've been living in Berlin 8
years. I've been living in Neukölln. 25%
of people living in Neukölln get social
welfare. One in four people, public
statistics, you can look it up. I know
people who have been getting social
welfare in South Germany, where I come
from, for 20 years, 30 years. Doesn't
matter. They don't want to work. They
take a job once in a while for a year,
and then they go back to the system
because it's not worth getting a
low-income job. But of course, Berlin is
the worst city when it comes to this.
It's like in some parts of Germany, it's
looked down upon getting social welfare,
and in in Berlin, it's it's kind of the
opposite. If you have a job, you're
like, "You're stupid.
You're working. Why would you do that?"
I'm not making this up. I know
personally dozens of people who get
social welfare not because they can't
work, cuz they don't want to work,
right? And I'm I'm one guy. I know
dozens of people like that. If I, one
guy, know a couple of dozen people who
abuse the system,
it's not the exception anymore. It's
becoming the norm. Berlin alone is
losing like hundreds of millions of euro
to people who abuse the system. They
know this, but they can't do anything
about this because it's the law, and you
have to follow the law. Congratulations
for uh
being lazy, I guess,
if that's what [snorts] you want to do
with your life.
You won the lottery in Germany. This is
just one more fact about what's going
wrong in Germany. I personally don't
want to live in a country where laziness
is rewarded and hard work is penalized.
It's There's no logic in that for me.
I'd rather pay my taxes elsewhere.
There's another really important thing
that has been bugging me a lot about
living in Germany,
and it's uh how society interacts with
one another, like people. I never had to
think about those things, but I am at an
age where I have to think about where I
want to raise children, and Germany and
Germans are really hostile against
children. They
they don't want them. Sounds absurd, but
it really is like that. Germany is not a
family-friendly country at all. There
are some financial incentives in Germany
to have children. You get like
Kindergeld and parental leave and all
that, but when it comes to like the
people and how they view children, it's
very negative. Just to give you a few
examples. If you go to a restaurant with
a child,
people in the restaurant, Germans, they
will look at you, and they make a face
like, "Ugh.
Are you kidding me? Are you seriously
bringing this child into the restaurant
to ruin my time here?"
Everywhere I've been, Southern Europe,
Japan, Southeast Asia, if you enter a
restaurant with a child, people will
light up, you know, they will, "Ah,
hello." They will want to interact with
the children. They they're nice. They
seem happy that they're there, you know.
In Germany, it's the opposite.
If If Germans see children in public
places, they are annoyed. They don't
want to have them there. And that that
says a lot of about society, not in a
good way. Being annoyed by a children,
doesn't matter where you are, then it's
not right, you know.
Everybody has been a child. Most people
have children.
They're an integral part of society.
They're your future. They're the
society's future. You should be happy
that they're there. If you wanted to
ride a train in Germany with a baby,
there is no proper place to to change
the diapers. There there isn't. And it
doesn't make any sense because you're
stuck in the in the train for hours.
Even on the expensive train, ICE, there
is no proper place to do this. It's
humiliating for the child and for the
parent to to be riding on a train in
Germany. I guess it's out of the box now.
now.
I do have children now, and I've been
traveling with them a lot, as you've
seen in my videos. I haven't seen a more
hostile place to children than Germany.
And this is a very sad statement. When
I've been to Japan with them,
you wouldn't believe the facilities they
have. You know, there's nursing rooms
everywhere. There's like diaper changing
stations everywhere, and those
facilities are also like something I've
never seen in Europe anywhere. You know,
you you go in there, there's like sofas
for for mothers to uh to breastfeed
their children. There's free free
diapers. And once you get children, you
you also think about where you want to
raise them, especially if you have a
daughter. I don't think Germany is a
good place to raise a daughter anymore
because women in general,
they don't feel safe anymore walking
down the street at night. You don't have
to take it from me. There's public
petitions in all major German cities.
Women want like vouchers for free taxi
rides at night. They in Berlin, they
want to have like women-only
subway wagons. And the stories you hear
in Berlin what women have to endure in
public transport, it's up. It's
up, to be honest. You all know
the reasons why it is like that. I don't
have to talk about it. But the fact is,
women in Germany don't feel safe anymore
for good reason. And deciding to raise a
daughter in Germany is just
it's not a good thought to have, you
know. You want to keep your people safe,
children safe, that they they grow up in
an friendly environment where they can
feel safe any time of day. This is just
my opinion, but if a woman can't walk
down the street at night and feel safe
anymore, you have failed as a society,
as a country.
That's just my opinion. And it's kind of
ridiculous. Every time something happens
in Germany, politicians will just say,
"Ah, yeah, there we have a knife
problem. Knives are killing people.
Women are dressed wrong. They should
dress differently." And it's not a small
thing, but you can also see it in the
the things. You can't go to the
supermarket anymore without feeling
we're living in a crime-polluted
society. Like in Prenzlauer Berg, one of
the best neighborhoods in in all of
Berlin, if you want to go and buy
shampoo or a cream, you go in a
drugstore, DM, you have to go in many of
the drugstores in Berlin to the cashier
to get them so they unlock the products
because they get stolen so much. Even in
the Edeka, in the like a normal
supermarket, they're locking up alcohol,
they're locking up Red Bulls, things
that cost $1.50, they're putting
security things on them that need to be
unlocked at a cashier. What kind of
society is this becoming? Another
example is Christmas markets. Last year,
there have been a few Christmas markets
who got canceled because they can't
afford the terror defense anymore
because it's too expensive. It costs
millions of euros for big Christmas
markets to put those barriers, terror
defense up. And if Christmas markets,
place of joy, but the one thing people
look forward to in in December when it's
cold and ugly outside,
if they get canceled because they can't
afford terror defense, many things have
gone wrong in this country. And don't
get me wrong, I don't want to blame this
on migration. Migration isn't a bad
thing per se.
It's just
there's going to be a few people
who are doing stupid things and you have
to select them out. But Germany is
doing a extremely extremely bad job at
that. One of the bigger problems
regarding that is that even if the
people come to Germany to to look for
refuge, they get denied.
And if they are from certain countries
which are considered not safe, uh
Germany cannot send them back even if
they are not allowed to stay in Germany
if they're not granted permission
to live,
to become a resident, to work here, etc.
So, you have this huge group of people
from refugees who come to Germany, they
their permission to be here got denied,
but they can't be uh deported to their
home country because it's not safe
there. So,
they can't work here, they can't do
anything here, but they are here because
they're kind of in limbo and that
creates a lot of problems because they
can't be part of society, they can't
integrate, and some of them, of course,
cause some trouble. It's also
understandable that if you are in this
limbo, you get a lot of resentment
because this country didn't accept you.
Another thing that drives people away is
the unaffordability of Germany,
especially when it comes to housing.
Cost of living is rising. Germany has
become so unaffordable when it comes to
housing that
people don't even dream about owning a
house, owning a flat anymore.
Everybody below the age of 35 has
basically given up on ever owning real
estate to live in.
Yeah? It's become so expensive. We were
looking at houses or or apartments in in
Berlin and Berlin is by far not the most
expensive city in Germany. There's
there's many cities more expensive.
You'd have to have a million euro to to
buy something
for a family. Yeah? With like three,
four rooms in a in a normal location.
You're going to if you're going to go outside,
outside,
you can probably find something for like
half that,
but even half even half a million is like
like
you're not going to earn a million euro
in your life in Germany. Not with the
taxes and social insurances, you're not
going to make it. Even if you work your
whole life at normal job, middle class,
you will not be able to afford a house
in Germany anymore.
Not going to happen. All the things you
have to pay, social insurances,
it's just adding up and making your
quality of life go down. You know how
much I had to pay health insurance
back in Germany the last year? It was a
thousand euro a month. A thousand euro a
month. That's 12,000 euro a year. If
you're self-employed, it's almost like
20%. Once you earn like 5,000 euro a
month in income, you have to pay 1,000
euro of that to the health insurance
provider. Now, I got to have
international health insurance.
I pay less than 130 euro a month for
international health insurance. I can go
to any doctor in the world. Yeah, cost
of living changes your life. So, when
you talk to people that in their 20s
and ask them if they're saving,
investing, they say, "No, what's the
point? We just spend it all because
there's no point in saving for something
you can never afford." And it's not just
the housing, you know, the whole
infrastructure in Germany is falling
apart. You just have to look at trains.
You know, Germany has
has
had the reputation to have the best one
of the best train systems in the world.
It's always on time, etc. But
those times have long passed. Now, the
German train system aims for a
punctuality rate for the trains of 60%.
That's what they're aiming for. Aiming,
you know? And a train in Germany is only
considered late if it's more than 10
minutes late. So, if the train is 9
minutes late,
in the statistics, it's still on time.
You would be mad to go with public
transport to the airport and not have
like a two or three-hour buffer in there
because every time you want to go to the
airport, one train gets canceled, the
next one is one hour delayed, you're
going to spend a few extra hours getting
to the airport with the train. It's not
reliable anymore. I have traveled a lot
of countries and I have never
encountered such a bad
train system anywhere, not even in
India. In India, every train I took was
on time. Every single one of them. How's
that possible? I don't understand. So,
yeah, if you can't rely on public
transport anymore, that's a huge
downstep in in quality of life because
you can't reliably get anywhere, which
kind of sucks, right? It's kind of
ironic that Germany is still spending
like hundreds of millions of euro in
developing aid to other countries while
at the same time it's becoming itself a
developing country. Just last year, a
major bridge has collapsed in the city
of Greyston. So, infrastructure in
Germany is falling apart. They don't
have enough money, but they're
supporting other countries, which is a
good thing. If you have the money, you
should support other countries to get to
your living standards, but if that comes
at a cost of your own living standards,
not sure if that's a good idea anymore.
You should be only financing what you
can afford. You shouldn't spend money
you don't have. And yet, despite all this,
this,
people keep voting for the same two
parties over and over again.
For decades, two parties have been
ruling this country, CDU and SPD. They
decided the future of Germany. That's
what we got from it. And apparently,
people don't want to learn. Especially
for those two parties, most people
voting for them are over 60, they're
retirees, they have voted for those
parties their whole lives and they're
not going to change it, most of them.
And because Germany is such an aging
country, the majority of people is
actually above 60. They're the biggest
voter group. Apart from people voting
for the same parties over and over
again, Germany itself is not really a
democracy anymore. I wouldn't call it
that because there's this other party,
AfD, and they're the second biggest
party right now, but no other party will
talk to them, vote with them, or discuss
anything with them. They are just
pretending they don't exist. They have
always done that and they're even trying
to ban this other party, which doesn't
sound very democratic to me. They're
always accusing this other party of
being undemocratic, but by not even
talking to them, not letting them be
part of the conversation, basically,
they are being the undemocratic parties.
That's logic. I mean,
people must understand this, right? In a
democracy, if those parties get a big
share of votes, in this case like 20%,
that's like 1/5 of all people in
Germany, and they can't be represented
in a democracy if the other parties
don't acknowledge their existence. It
doesn't matter what you think about
them, it doesn't matter what views they
have, there needs to be a discourse. And
in Germany, there is no discourse, not
between the parties.
And if you say anything that stands in
the view of what this party represents,
people will exclude you from society, or
at least they will try to. And this is
also a very dangerous situation because
it's creating an isolation for different
groups of people in a society, and if
certain groups of people feel isolated,
they become more radicalized in both
directions, and that is not good for
democracy. So, Germany saying, "Oh,
we're the most democratic country in the world"
world"
is absolute It's just not
true. I think many other European
countries are more democratic. You have
the same parties in in Austria, in the
Netherlands, and they're not being
ganged up upon. You know, they are in
talks with other parties, and sometimes
it works and sometimes it doesn't, but
that's that's what a democracy is. So, I
would say Germany calls itself a
democracy, but it doesn't act like one.
That's also the reason why the AfD has
become so popular among
a fifth or more of German voters because
the other old parties, they won't
address the issues that have arisen in
the last two decades. So, that's that's
why the the party was formed, right?
Because people are unhappy with
politics. It's kind of sad to see in
Germany that the political left is
encouraging violence against the
political right because left and right
are just a political spectrum. You can
talk about things, or you should be able
to talk about things and find a
compromise, but in Germany, things are
so divided between the people that the
left is calling for violence
against the right. The most absurd thing
about this is that political actors from
the left spectrum are encouraging this
and saying, "Yeah, this is good this is
a good thing." Neither side should
choose violence just to silence the
opposition. That's stuff from like
authoritarian countries. And in general,
I don't see Germany heading in a good
way when it comes to free speech. People
are getting arrested for posting memes
on the internet, literally. Five years
ago, you could have only imagined this
from authoritarian countries in Africa
or the Middle East or something like
that. That would have been unimaginable
in in Europe. But now the UK is mass
arresting people, Germany is following
suit. Comedy is over, yeah. Memes are
over. Critical thinking is not allowed
on the internet anymore. Nowadays,
people even get arrested for stating
facts. It it's kind of ridiculous. It
really started to get like this around
COVID, you know? Like people weren't
allowed to say certain things. Ever
since COVID, the the state propaganda in
Germany has been rising a lot. You can
see it really in the news how the
government and the news outlets that are
controlled by the government, like
public TV, they're trying to paint a
certain picture that that is pretty far
off of reality, what the people the
everyday people experience. So, they're
just continuing to ignore the problems.
So, Germany is crumbling away slowly.
Free speech, quality of life,
everything. It's pretty much a downward
spiral and I don't see the bottom in yet
anytime soon. It has to get much worse
before most people will realize that
something has to change and
at that point, it's going to get very
very ugly, in my opinion. But looking at history,
history,
all of this is pretty normal. I can
recommend you to read the book The
Fourth Turning or The Fourth Turning is
here, the second release, which basically
basically
describes from history the cycles of
society that about every 100 years,
there is a major crisis that reshapes
the whole society and
throughout history, this those crisis
had to happen every 80 to 100 years. I
think in general, the West is going to
be a pretty ugly place to live in the
next decade. Doesn't matter if it's the
USA or Western Europe. The time has come
for for change and change
in this proportion is never pretty. It's
going to be pretty ugly for for a lot of
people. So, what to do?
This is actually west.
East. What does this mean for the future
of Germany? Well,
Well,
right now, the system is falling apart
pretty much. What comes after, we don't
know if it's going to be better or worse.
worse.
Only time will tell. It's not that I
hate Germany. There's just too many
things that are going wrong. I mean,
it's all fun and games until you have
children and then you have to think
about their futures.
To make sure that you have a good
quality of life for yourself and for
your children, you go away, right?
That's also why so many people come to
Germany because they hope to have a
better future there for the children.
And it's understandable. If you're
coming from the Middle East, from from
Africa, things in Germany are probably
still much better than in those
countries they're coming from. That's
why they're they're coming, right? But
if you are a German and you're you're
used to a certain standard and you just
see it going down, then you you start
thinking about how things could be
different or were different even, you know?
know?
Because you have experienced them. So,
I'm happy to be part of a different
society that appreciates people, that
appreciates the work they do, that appreciates
appreciates
community. And in Germany, I don't see
any community left. It's just a divided people
people
that can't agree on anything. Germany is
a sinking ship
and I'm not going to stay on it to
drown. The only thing that could turn
Germany around would be a radical
reform, radical changes, but German
politicians have been saying ever since
I I can't remember, like for 20 years,
they have been saying Germany needs to
be less bureaucratic, there needs to be
less regulation, need to be more
attractive for entrepreneurs, for
businesses. They have been saying that
and they know that. But then, the next
year, they do more bureaucracy, they do
more regulation. They know all of this.
And they they say it, but they they also
say they want to change it, but they
then they don't. You know, they do the
opposite. It's it's mad. It's mental.
Maybe when the system is on the on the
floor, I'm going to come back to
Germany. I'm going to run for chancellor.
chancellor.
I'll fix all this mess. But where is my
journey going, you ask now? Hm? I gave
you all the reasons not to stay or move
to Germany. For me, the best country in
the world right now to live in is Japan.
So, that's where I'm going to spend the
majority of my time now. Things work
there, it's orderly. I can't really say
anything negative about Japan. The only
negative thing is the working culture,
but since I'm self-employed, I'm not
going to be part of the working culture
there. I think nowadays, it's all about
values. Which values do you share and
which values are you willing to be part
of? And Germany has lost a lot of its
values that make life in a society worth
living. And I can see those values very
much in Japan still. There are values
that are better than others. For
everyone, that's different, but you have
to choose your values and then you have
to to act on them and then if you're
lucky, you can choose to live with
those. And I I really love the values
Japan has. You can leave your wallet in
a subway and you're going to see it
again. 99% chance you're going to see
your wallet with all the money in there.
Small children, they can
commute to to kindergarten
to elementary school. Five years old,
they take the subway, 30 minutes, no
problem. Other Japanese people are going
to watch out for them. Nothing's going
to happen to them. Unimaginable
Unimaginable
in Germany. It's not going to happen.
You would be mad to send your child with
public transport in Berlin
to go to to kindergarten or elementary
school. It would be extremely
irresponsible. But in Japan, it's normal.
normal.
And I love that. Just being in Japan,
seeing how people are to each other, it
kind of makes me want to be a better
person because I feel like the the
uncivilized person there
coming from Europe, which is kind of
kind of funny and absurd. So, much to
learn. Finally, the barbarians are going
to become civilized. But of course, as
long as children don't have to go to
school, I'm going to be traveling a lot,
so you're still going to see a lot of
videos of me on the road. I really enjoy
being in Southern Europe. People are
nice, the food is good. I'm going to
visit Germany once in a while. My
parents still live there, so I have to
go back there once in a while and then
I'm going to make some videos there as
well. But the majority of the year, I'm
going to be not there and I'm very
grateful that I am able to choose this.
That's also in part because of you, all
of you who subscribed and watch my
videos. Thank you for
enabling me to choose my life
and be free.
I don't think there's anything
Good luck to you
