    BE DEUTSCH! [Achtung! Germans on the rise!]

    A german friend shared this video by what he calls "Germany's George Carlin".

    A good catchy tune with a powerful message..

    As you say a powerful message with some hilarious lines such as

    "We are no longer murderous vandals or we'll come for you in socks and sandals".

    Vegan sausages in our bowels...

    10 million bicycle helmets on the rise, Jack wolfstein jackets marching through the night ...

    Found a new memorable line every time I watched it ...

    Maniacs with wicked hair ... ja ja ja we've already been there.

    Very profound ...a nation v/s a community.

    A modern nation state cannot be built on an ontological notion of who belongs and who does not, whether it’s outright ethnic or pseudo-cultural. It needs to build on the notion of the nation as a community — a community including those who were born here, those who came to stay and those who will stay for a while and then return to their homes. The rights and duties of the members of this community should be defined by their achievements, and by the rule of law — not by whether they eat schnitzel or wear a head scarf.
