I am an historian in the U.S. His summary is generally accurate. Granted a little simplified, but of course he's doing it as much for comedy as for education. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
Hi - I hope I don't dissapoint you but he's doing it not only for comedy, he's doing it also for left wing education. He's a left wing guy and as I was young I loved him. I've visited his shows several times and he became more and more crumpy with the audience as they didn't vote for the right (left wing) side. Nevertheless, his shows are still really good to complement missing pictures but for my taste too simple and ignoring that not only USA is the bad guy ... the world is grey ... 🙂not
@@schoeppemichael For this show none of that is important. It stays focused on it's topics and does a great job at both educating and entertaining. And while it's about the US he also weaves in a good amount of critique on German polititians, showing his audience that they aren't just observers of the US's doings, but also tied into the events through their political decisions. And the other shows are mostly about Germany, so I don't really understand why you would interpret his works as "ignoring that not only USA is the bad guy". Sure he makes more remarks about the US than other powers, but he doesn't ignore them completely. Also, I can understand why he focuses on the US more than the others. The US has a very effective propaganda machinery including popculture and with that a very heavy cultural influence on Germany. Seeing as we slowly but apparently unstoppably go down the path of americanisation it is important to make people aware about the strength of american influence in all areas (military, economics, research etc.) on a global scale especially concidering they love to play the good guys. Sure, it would be nice to have a show like this on other powers as well, especially Russia or China, but media reports are far more critical about them than America already and their cultural influence isn't as high either. While it is easy to assume his "leftness" also plays a role,which it might do a little bit, he does throw in occasional critique on Russia as well, though, as I said, I'd also wish for more.
Depends on the age. I.m a GenXer and this stuff with Central to South America was on the news for quite a few years from early ti mid 80's. I was in the 4th grade at the time and every morning at the start of class my teacher would turn the TV on to the news and watch. Many younger generations won't catch some of this stuff in 80's Metal and Punk Rock. The Killing Joke had constantly sung about this very event. Even Megadeth had sung about our current situation over 20 yrs. ago Symphony of Destruction.
Well, I prefer being found by an average Amercian when in trouble after an accident than by the average German - who would stand by and give smartass advice.
Volker Pispers was a teacher before he became a comedian. His rhetoric is brilliant. He is more a political cabaret artist than just a comedian. He is well educated, and you can be sure that before he opens his mouth, he has done his homework. He is a master of satirical political cabarets and very well known and liked in Germany. He says what many in Germany think.
Germany has a long tradition of political comedians. Even in the dark times of the Third Reich, a number of those spoker up - and paid with their lives for telling the truth. In our times, Volker Pispers is one of the best, although this program is already quite old.
Germans were the majority of immigrants in America in before its independence. German was the natural choice for an official language but the jew thought otherwise.
The point regarding Bavaria is that from all states in Germany they are that one which always want to be a bit special and treated like that. That in a nutshell is the reason behind jokes about Bavaria. Mentally wise it’s a little bit similar to Texas.
Yes, unfortunately, this is true. Volker Pispers as a satirical cabaretist has to skirt the line of slander very carefully in Germany. As any deliberate untruth about someone directly can result in a law suit. So what he says is factually true. How he delivers it takes the skill of a very talented cabaretist. Note again the difference between political cabaret and simply being a comedian. Comedians make up stories as they desire for laughs. Political cabaretists may exaggerate certain characteristics but they rarely if ever skirt into the dangerous territory of factual fallacies. Volker Pispers has a PhD in history, so what he says is very well researched; and he knows what he is talking about. Edit: BTW: this whole programm of his was from 2004, so it's really old today. Merkel still wasn't chancellor of Germany, but Gerhard Schröder. He was the head of the government in Germany, who in the last six months of his chancellorship signed multiple contracts with Gazprom, the Russian oil and gas company, which was under the control of one of the oligarchs that supported Putin even back then. Only when he had signed these contracts did he give a clear hint to the state minister-president of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern to agree to have another gas pipeline connection straight through the Baltic Sea from Russia into Germany, bypassing Ukraine and Poland. Better known today as Nord Stream 2. You know, the pipeline that blew up last year. Yepp, Gerhard Schröder was the chancellor who effectively signed the deal with a Russian government controlled company. Once he lost his chancellorship (which was quite obvious for anyone who knew the political situation of Germany back then) he waited a mere three months before recieving a nice, cushy no-work membership on the board of directors of Gazprom, plus some amazing bonuses as such a director. Strange how THAT could have happened, right? Yepp, even Germany isn't free of corrupt politicians making private deals for their own benefit. The Bavarians are among the most staunch conservatives, almost right leaning voters in Germany. Edmund Stoiber was a loooong-acting politician from Bavaria, in their local party of the CSU. The CSU is the sister party of the much larger CDU, the German conservative party. The CSU ONLY acts within Bavaria, but the CDU doesn't. It's something like a gentleman's agreement. The CSU stays more or less out of federal topics, for that the CDU doesn't try to go voter grabbing in Bavaria. Schroeder however was from the SPD, the social democratic party, more or less the antithesis of anything that the CSU embodies. So when Pispers said, the Germans weren't even desperate enough to back Edmund Stoiber when he tried to make a bid to become the German chancellor, he was joking about the ridiculousness of that comparison. Stoiber had backers in Bavaria, and that was it. The rest of Germany more or less ignored him, despite him being quite a loudmouth. Edit 2. The term "Von deutschem Boden darf nie wieder Krieg ausgehen" / "Never again shall war start from German soil" is the preamble to the contract Germany signed, and put into its constitution when it was rearmed in 1955. This was a clear indication that all German forces were designated as defensive forces that were allowed to operate ONLY inside the territories of Germany. That was later amended to include any NATO countries, OR if NATO countries were attacked to fight back invaders. But never again were German troops supposed to enter another country in an offensive war. Pispers changed that text slightly to state "Ohne Deutschland darf nie wieder ein Krieg ausgehen." / "No war may start ever again without Germany." West Germany back then provided arms to virtually anyone, except clear Soviet satellite states. Later, after the reunification arms and heavy weapons were still delivered to almost every country from Germany.
That's very well explained. Yes, the pipeline through Baltic Sea was signed during Schroeders time. The same pipeline most likely bombed by the "terror organisation" from the USA, to say it Volker Pispers' words.
Hey Sarah, ich mag deine Reaktionen sehr gern 👍 Jetzt kommst du aber mit Volker Pispers auf ein neues lvl, ich bin gespannt wie du reagierst auf die folgenden 4 teile. Ich sag nur, " schnall dich an"! Mach weiter so 🤘♥️👍
It's really great to see Volker Pispers getting some belated but much deserved attention. In the tradition of continental European politcal cabaret/satire, his work is a shining example!
he speaks with a pointed tongue. But he also dares to interpret historical events as they appear from a non-American point of view. It is often helpful to look at things from a different point of view. He doesn't shy away from naming things. Even if he comes across as very cheeky. So don't expect him to talk honey to you and talk politics in a friendly way.
It's always adoreable if English Speakers try German pronounciations, but If you are interessted in pronounceing his name correctly, just say "Folker Pyspers" and it will be very close to perfect.
Volker Pispers last performed in 2016; his analytical mind illuminated many things back then that are still absolutely valid today. He had the talent to look at topics from a side that no one else would notice.
About 02:00 . The comparison to Bayern or Bavaria is that the bavarians always see themself as something better compared to the other german states. They have the reputation to be pretty arrogant when it comes to political interactions with other states. Just like the U.S. Americans have the same reputation in the rest of the World.
Bavaria is down in the south, right at the start of the Alps. It's got that secluded feel due to all the mountains around - kinda like how Texas or the Bible Belt is in the US with that pro-business, conservative, right-wing Christian vibe. That's also where Hitler got his first followers. The CSU (Christian Social Union) has been winning the elections there since 1945. Their politicians have been involved in many corruption scanadals over the years, but because major car brands (Audi, BMW, etc.) are all planted in Bayern they hold significant economic power. Pispers likes to take the piss out of them.
Funfact: Audi, as a leftover of the famous Auto Union, was illegally moved from Saxony and Berlin to Bavaria, and was illegally using the brand name since 1946. Technically speaking, by applying the relevant laws, after the reunification all of the Audi assets should have been returned to Eastern Germany and all Western Germany Audi facilities should have been shut down because the corresponding laws had not changed since 1945.
Hello dear Sarah, I don't know if you are able again to read my comments, but this is a video that I wanted you to react to in its entirety (45r minutes long) but you refused because of its length. Now you divided it into 5 parts and reacted to it. And I think you haven't regretted it, have you ? I really hope you are doing fine.... I keep watching your reactions, even if you are not able to read my comments. Best wishes : Gerry
Hello Gerry, Yes, I can read your comments again! 🙂 I remember your suggestion to this too, it's quite long! This way, it's easier. I'm yet to check the rest out but yes! I am glad I checked it out. Thank you for watching my videos even though I couldn't see your comments. 🙂
Hi Gerry, never heard of Volker, I live under a rock in Sweden. Just saw this piece and am delighted it is a much bigger show. I understand some German, however the subtitles are great. The myth that Germans have no sense of humor was totally destroyed by this video. As I suspected, Germans have a great sense of humor, like most sensible human beings.
Love political comedians. Being told that Germans have no sense of humor, surely Volker can't be German. I think this is one of the best stand up I have seen for a while. Just saw yr video and discovered two new talents. Thank you.
Iran and Iraq were certainly not "friends" after the Iranian Revolution as you assumed at 8:58. In fact, Saddam Hussein was part of the Sunnite minority in Iraq and oppressed the Shiite majority in his country - Iran also had a large Shiite majority that was in charge after the Iranian Revolution, so Saddam feared that his budding dictatorship could be destabilized by Iran.
#Info @SarahDangler Because of Bavaria. Bavaria is part of Germany, but Bavaria is a free state. That means Bayern have a lot more freedom. For example, they are allowed to make their own laws and decide for themselves about the railways, the postal and telegraph systems, the military, the spirits and beer taxes as well as the general state administration, fees and taxes and this independently of the rest of Germany. Bavaria is also the federal state that brings in the most money in Germany. There were also a few wars between Bavaria and Prussia in the past and all of this contributed to the fact that the other federal states are a bit jealous of Bavaria and therefore often a bit hostile. But none of this is really meant seriously, they just annoy each other.
as for someone that was born German American we have pretty much lost our culture and language because of the tentacle government of the United States here in the states. many of my people North & Central Germanic Fleet Europe because of persecution in Europe but when we arrived here we were just repeatedly persecuted by the United States. our whole history is nothing but Bloodshed in persecution even modern Germans are called by arrogant Christians obviously are still called Nazis. even though most of us were not even born during the Nazi era of Nazi Germany.
I feel that in my bones..born in 1980 as a West-German, I still hold the ancestry of my Westphalian infantry grandad who came back from RUSSIAN POW camp with red Ruhr, and a dead granddad from my father‘s side who died in POW camp in Russia after being an SS Judge…yea, I KNOW! Anyhow, neither granddad lived to see my birth, but I‘ve been lucky enough to know both my grandmas…who were SILENT on the 2nd world war topic. My dad‘s mother fled from Silesia awayfrom the Russian Red Army with my father 4 months old in a backpack…and her sister and three other young children…. I got the impression that when challenged her sister got r@ped ba Russian soldiers, it since she died from the same malignant brain tumor my dad died from at 60, we will never know…my grandma died at 98
In the USA you might get in jail for talking like that. The american democracy is a very suitible term. On one hand you can say what you want but on the other hand you can be an antiamerican person. They got rules and laws for what ever they want. But it is real that the usa is always doing everything, regardlessly of all laws, for there own interests. They are talking about beeing the good, but I dought that.
If you´re willing to invest more time, to discover more about USA´s history with terrorism, I highly recommend Daniele Ganser from Switzerland. He´s not a comic though, but a historian, still his lectures, which usually are an hour long, are entertaining. There are shorter videos and interviews where he´s speaking english, too, to get started.
Please not Daniele Ganser! He worked at University of Zürich and got kicked out because he didn't work with scientific methods. When he published something, it wasn't in peer reviewed journals and often contained conspiracy myths. He based alot of things on old publications that were proven wrong in the mean time, because he wanted sources that support his believes. Now he is close with people like Ivo Sasek that is the leader of a cult. To this cult belongs a online tv called "KlaTV" or "KlagemauerTV" (Wailing Wall TV). Ganser, a self claimed "peace researcher" (Dr. phil. In history has nothing to do with "peace research") is one of their favourites. If you look at something from him, be very aware and don't just publicise a video. Do the research and you'll vers soon find out that most of what he puts out are just suggestive questions sprinkled with oversimplified explanations that often were proven wrong in the meantime. So I would rather recommend the video from a channel called "Der Dunkle Parabelritter" about him. If you ask me, people like Ganser are problematic for democracies because they knowingly spread misinformation and hatred by mixing it with conspiracy theories.
He isn't an Historian. -.- He is an conspiracy theorist and has since founded his own little esoteric cult, as well as an "institute" for peace research, so that he and the two others on the board (there are no more people in this institute) have a serious cover in which to publish.
Von euch hat offenbar keiner auch nur einen Vortrag angesehen, sonst würdet ihr net solchen Mist nachplappern. Er ist sehr wohl Historiker und jeder seiner Vorträge platzt vor Quellenangaben. Ihr wollt einem jetzt nicht weiß machen, dass jede dieser Humbug sei. Ich mein, behauptet was ihr wollt, aber ob ich mir jetzt Pispers Kabarett gebe oder Daniele Gansers Vorträge, kommt rein von den Infos her ziemlich das gleiche raus. Beim Gansers kriegste halt zudem Daten und mehr Details. Und wie kann jemand, der doppelt und dreifach wiederholt "wir sollten uns nicht töten", Hass verbreiten? Diese Logik müsst ihr mir erklären. Also ich kann's nur jedem ans Herz legen, sich Mal unvoreingenommen was von ihm anzusehen.
The bavarians are another germany or the rest of germany is what you don't know . If most people thinknof germany they think of bavaria beer leatherpants or hitler
volker pispers got a phd in history .....maybe you should inform yourself a bit more about the person youre watching. if you knew youd probably not ask if what he says is true.
Maybe you haven't quite understood the principle of a reaction channel, where people watch videos about various things that they had no proir contact with! 'Doing research' beforehand would defeat the purpose, or do you really not understand this?
Hi! Keep in mind, that Volker Pispers is a VERY leftwing agitator in the disguise of a comedian. He isn't lying completely, but leaves stuff away and describes other things in a very leftwing-framed manner. He is a funny, educated guy and he tells many true things...but is guiding the audience into a very leftwing, pretty anti American direction...amongst other things. Just to keep that in mind, when you are watching his seemingly true & funny stuff. Greetings Mega
Is there anything that he is saying factually wrong? No! Did the US government lie, arm and power up Hussein during the war against Iran? Yes! Both things are known facts today. So just for my understanding whom do you trust more? A government that has lied constantly and repeatedly or a person that is telling the truth even if it is a bit colored based on his own bias? I know my answer but I would be interested in yours?
What us left? It's a label that changes it's meaning every so often. The left of US in form of Democrats are the biggest neocons, often associated with the Republicans. He hasn't lied about anything. The fact is that US elite have worked domination as their goal. He and countless more are merely stating the truth. Unfortunately, US policies have brought this world towards total destruction for no other reason than If not invented here, can't be good and must be destroyed. Dividing, creating chaos and fear so that we just give in.
He isn't lying, nore "not lying completely". Of course the story is larger, but didn't change in the results he is talking about. That being said, he also said "american foreign policy", which he criticised. Something you left away among others to reduce this to "left wing agitation" - keep that in mind yourself.
@@Kokuswolf He is a pretty leftwing agitator & ideologue. He is framing everything into one direction in all of his shows: Capitalism bad. Socialism good. USA bad. Conservatives bad. In one of his older live shows in the Alter Wartesaal in Cologne he said word by word: "Socialism was never really tried" He said this in a side sentence but it gave away completely his mindset and the direction of all of his propaganda, that is disguised as a funny satrical stage show. That sentence he said is the classic Kommunist-Socialist excuse for trying the often failed kommunist and socialist experiments AGAIN and AGAIN. And that is directly linked to dead people. Allways. Even in the case of the DDR. Everytime new. THAT is Volker Pispers. And everything he utters on stage and here in this video has one direction only: Socialism good, Capitalism bad, USA bad and all that other lefty drivel and flawed ideology crap. He is telling in a very funny way some half-truths about the mistakes of the USA. He is leaving things away and is telling in a funny way only, what he wants to tell. If you think, that you've heard the complete truth about ANYTHING Pispers is framing and saying in his stage shows, then you are pretty naive, to say it politely. And I don't say this to insult you. If you are seriously trying to tell me, that he isn't leaving stuff away and frames other stuff to push his leftwing agenda, then this is my impression of the whole affair here.
This video is a classic on RUclips. It's maybe important to mention that this guy is a leftist. So his criticism is / was (he's not active anylonger) always quite selective and predictable.
But not less truthful (as if "leftists" are any different in this respect than "rightists"). It balances the right wing propaganda from the USA nicely. The only reason that it's predictable is because he's using simple facts. Facts which unfortunately are largely unknown by the newer generations.
I think left and right have no meaning anymore. Just like Greens is just a label, we are green, let's help kill, let's go back to coal. Right now US has Democrats in power, they are labelled left, they are far right if Republicans. As Elon Musk said, I haven't changed my views, I used to be Democrat, they have moved so much to the right and Republicans are fighting for' left' causes. Of course, I paraphrased, he merely had a brilliant diagram. Fact is that US has evolved into an evil, meglomanic destructor. If you consider yourself right, I am sure u r not too happy of forced deindustrikizatiin of Germany. Someone in Germany has to say it loud that Nord Stream was an attack on Germany and EU.
Oh what an argument. Someone called leftist, so his arguments are selective and predictable. Like rightist, like centrist. Like yours to don't think yourself.
@@KokuswolfUseless comment. I just gave this information (it was not an argument) for non German people who don't know him. Not that they think he's a neutral comedian. And he's isn't incorrect in this video, I just said that he clearly has an agenda and people should know about that if they plan to watch more videos of him.
I am an historian in the U.S. His summary is generally accurate. Granted a little simplified, but of course he's doing it as much for comedy as for education. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

This political cabaret as we call it was produced 2007 or so ..
Mr Pispers is already 65 years old and retired.
As a german I love Pispers he just hits the nail. Dosent make the history better but we can have a laugh and learn a bit :)
@@schoeppemichael He had to simplify or how should he pack all in 1 or 2 hours? Do you say the same about Russia right now?

Volker Pisper is hard, but what he says is unfortunately true.
I am glad to see, Volker Pispers touch the heart and brains of the americans. Unfortunatly, he's not working anymore. He was a genius.

Technically speaking, by applying the relevant laws, after the reunification all of the Audi assets should have been returned to Eastern Germany and all Western Germany Audi facilities should have been shut down because the corresponding laws had not changed since 1945.
Hello dear Sarah, I don't know if you are able again to read my comments, but this is a video that I wanted you to react to in its entirety (45r minutes long) but you refused because of its length. Now you divided it into 5 parts and reacted to it. And I think you haven't regretted it, have you ?
I really hope you are doing fine.... I keep watching your reactions, even if you are not able to read my comments.
Best wishes : Gerry
Hello Gerry, Yes, I can read your comments again! 🙂 I remember your suggestion to this too, it's quite long! This way, it's easier. I'm yet to check the rest out but yes! I am glad I checked it out. Thank you for watching my videos even though I couldn't see your comments. 🙂
Hi Gerry, never heard of Volker, I live under a rock in Sweden.
Just saw this piece and am delighted it is a much bigger show. I understand some German, however the subtitles are great.
The myth that Germans have no sense of humor was totally destroyed by this video. As I suspected, Germans have a great sense of humor, like most sensible human beings.
@@reshchak german humor is often very dark or dry.
Saludos cordiales desde ❤😊🇺🇾🤪✌️
The part with Bavaria is very true. Like it’s beautiful but the ppl are…..very special.
None of this is untrue, but Volker Pispers always forgets the russian Involvement in some of the Things.
Love political comedians. Being told that Germans have no sense of humor, surely Volker can't be German.
I think this is one of the best stand up I have seen for a while.
Just saw yr video and discovered two new talents. Thank you.
Great German satire.
This Voklper Pisper Video is at least a decade old. It is from the time bush junior - my guess beginning of second term.
No, that video was posted 15 years ago and the original recording was from 2004, so its 19 years old.
Iran and Iraq were certainly not "friends" after the Iranian Revolution as you assumed at 8:58. In fact, Saddam Hussein was part of the Sunnite minority in Iraq and oppressed the Shiite majority in his country - Iran also had a large Shiite majority that was in charge after the Iranian Revolution, so Saddam feared that his budding dictatorship could be destabilized by Iran.
this guy is hammer. like your reactions. he is a former history teacher, i think.
#Info @SarahDangler Because of Bavaria.
Bavaria is part of Germany, but Bavaria is a free state. That means Bayern have a lot more freedom. For example, they are allowed to make their own laws and decide for themselves about the railways, the postal and telegraph systems, the military, the spirits and beer taxes as well as the general state administration, fees and taxes and this independently of the rest of Germany. Bavaria is also the federal state that brings in the most money in Germany. There were also a few wars between Bavaria and Prussia in the past and all of this contributed to the fact that the other federal states are a bit jealous of Bavaria and therefore often a bit hostile. But none of this is really meant seriously, they just annoy each other.
All what He say is True ♡
I often heard that Texas is someway the weird part of the USA. So the joke with Bavaria goes the same direction.
He make the point that for a long time the US says Demokratie but if the vote are not in the intrest of the US they dont respekt it.
A pity that Pispers has retired from political cabarett. Would love to hear his cynical remarks on Selinskyi, Stoltenberg etc.
as for someone that was born German American we have pretty much lost our culture and language because of the tentacle government of the United States here in the states. many of my people North & Central Germanic Fleet Europe because of persecution in Europe but when we arrived here we were just repeatedly persecuted by the United States. our whole history is nothing but Bloodshed in persecution even modern Germans are called by arrogant Christians obviously are still called Nazis. even though most of us were not even born during the Nazi era of Nazi Germany.
They fleed Europe because they were religious extremist. At least that was and is perspective in Germany.
I lived in Germany for several years. I can assure you that Neo-Nazism is as prevalent as ever in Germany. "Arrogant Christians"? Get real.
I feel that in my bones..born in 1980 as a West-German, I still hold the ancestry of my Westphalian infantry grandad who came back from RUSSIAN POW camp with red Ruhr, and a dead granddad from my father‘s side who died in POW camp in Russia after being an SS Judge…yea, I KNOW!
Anyhow, neither granddad lived to see my birth, but I‘ve been lucky enough to know both my grandmas…who were SILENT on the 2nd world war topic.
My dad‘s mother fled from Silesia awayfrom the Russian Red Army with my father 4 months old in a backpack…and her sister and three other young children….
I got the impression that when challenged her sister got r@ped ba Russian soldiers, it since she died from the same malignant brain tumor my dad died from at 60, we will never know…my grandma died at 98
In the USA you might get in jail for talking like that. The american democracy is a very suitible term. On one hand you can say what you want but on the other hand you can be an antiamerican person. They got rules and laws for what ever they want. But it is real that the usa is always doing everything, regardlessly of all laws, for there own interests. They are talking about beeing the good, but I dought that.
Spoken easy and in a linear way: INSTIGATORS
If you´re willing to invest more time, to discover more about USA´s history with terrorism, I highly recommend Daniele Ganser from Switzerland. He´s not a comic though, but a historian, still his lectures, which usually are an hour long, are entertaining. There are shorter videos and interviews where he´s speaking english, too, to get started.
Please not Daniele Ganser!
He worked at University of Zürich and got kicked out because he didn't work with scientific methods. When he published something, it wasn't in peer reviewed journals and often contained conspiracy myths.
He based alot of things on old publications that were proven wrong in the mean time, because he wanted sources that support his believes.
Now he is close with people like Ivo Sasek that is the leader of a cult. To this cult belongs a online tv called "KlaTV" or "KlagemauerTV" (Wailing Wall TV). Ganser, a self claimed "peace researcher" (Dr. phil. In history has nothing to do with "peace research") is one of their favourites.
If you look at something from him, be very aware and don't just publicise a video. Do the research and you'll vers soon find out that most of what he puts out are just suggestive questions sprinkled with oversimplified explanations that often were proven wrong in the meantime.
So I would rather recommend the video from a channel called "Der Dunkle Parabelritter" about him.
If you ask me, people like Ganser are problematic for democracies because they knowingly spread misinformation and hatred by mixing it with conspiracy theories.
He isn't an Historian. -.-
He is an conspiracy theorist and has since founded his own little esoteric cult, as well as an "institute" for peace research, so that he and the two others on the board (there are no more people in this institute) have a serious cover in which to publish.
Don't compare Volker Pispers to Daniele Ganser. Volker Pispers is very serious and keeps it real every second.
Von euch hat offenbar keiner auch nur einen Vortrag angesehen, sonst würdet ihr net solchen Mist nachplappern. Er ist sehr wohl Historiker und jeder seiner Vorträge platzt vor Quellenangaben. Ihr wollt einem jetzt nicht weiß machen, dass jede dieser Humbug sei. Ich mein, behauptet was ihr wollt, aber ob ich mir jetzt Pispers Kabarett gebe oder Daniele Gansers Vorträge, kommt rein von den Infos her ziemlich das gleiche raus. Beim Gansers kriegste halt zudem Daten und mehr Details. Und wie kann jemand, der doppelt und dreifach wiederholt "wir sollten uns nicht töten", Hass verbreiten? Diese Logik müsst ihr mir erklären. Also ich kann's nur jedem ans Herz legen, sich Mal unvoreingenommen was von ihm anzusehen.
The bavarians are another germany or the rest of germany is what you don't know . If most people thinknof germany they think of bavaria beer leatherpants or hitler
Hallo
You do not have the capacity to analyse Volker Pispers.
volker pispers got a phd in history .....maybe you should inform yourself a bit more about the person youre watching. if you knew youd probably not ask if what he says is true.
Maybe you haven't quite understood the principle of a reaction channel, where people watch videos about various things that they had no proir contact with! 'Doing research' beforehand would defeat the purpose, or do you really not understand this?
Hi!
Keep in mind, that Volker Pispers is a VERY leftwing agitator in the disguise of a comedian. He isn't lying completely, but leaves stuff away and describes other things in a very leftwing-framed manner.
He is a funny, educated guy and he tells many true things...but is guiding the audience into a very leftwing, pretty anti American direction...amongst other things.
Just to keep that in mind, when you are watching his seemingly true & funny stuff.
Greetings
Mega
As he said himself, his anti American attitude is NOT superficial! Very many valid points and being anti American is the ONLY logical thing to be!
Is there anything that he is saying factually wrong? No! Did the US government lie, arm and power up Hussein during the war against Iran? Yes!
Both things are known facts today. So just for my understanding whom do you trust more? A government that has lied constantly and repeatedly or a person that is telling the truth even if it is a bit colored based on his own bias?
I know my answer but I would be interested in yours?
What us left? It's a label that changes it's meaning every so often. The left of US in form of Democrats are the biggest neocons, often associated with the Republicans.
He hasn't lied about anything. The fact is that US elite have worked domination as their goal. He and countless more are merely stating the truth. Unfortunately, US policies have brought this world towards total destruction for no other reason than If not invented here, can't be good and must be destroyed. Dividing, creating chaos and fear so that we just give in.
He isn't lying, nore "not lying completely". Of course the story is larger, but didn't change in the results he is talking about. That being said, he also said "american foreign policy", which he criticised. Something you left away among others to reduce this to "left wing agitation" - keep that in mind yourself.
@@Kokuswolf
He is a pretty leftwing agitator & ideologue. He is framing everything into one direction in all of his shows: Capitalism bad. Socialism good. USA bad. Conservatives bad.
In one of his older live shows in the Alter Wartesaal in Cologne he said word by word:
"Socialism was never really tried"
He said this in a side sentence but it gave away completely his mindset and the direction of all of his propaganda, that is disguised as a funny satrical stage show.
That sentence he said is the classic Kommunist-Socialist excuse for trying the often failed kommunist and socialist experiments AGAIN and AGAIN.
And that is directly linked to dead people. Allways. Even in the case of the DDR. Everytime new.
THAT is Volker Pispers.
And everything he utters on stage and here in this video has one direction only: Socialism good, Capitalism bad, USA bad and all that other lefty drivel and flawed ideology crap.
He is telling in a very funny way some half-truths about the mistakes of the USA.
He is leaving things away and is telling in a funny way only, what he wants to tell. If you think, that you've heard the complete truth about ANYTHING Pispers is framing and saying in his stage shows, then you are pretty naive, to say it politely.
And I don't say this to insult you. If you are seriously trying to tell me, that he isn't leaving stuff away and frames other stuff to push his leftwing agenda, then this is my impression of the whole affair here.
This video is a classic on RUclips.
It's maybe important to mention that this guy is a leftist. So his criticism is / was (he's not active anylonger) always quite selective and predictable.
But not less truthful (as if "leftists" are any different in this respect than "rightists"). It balances the right wing propaganda from the USA nicely. The only reason that it's predictable is because he's using simple facts. Facts which unfortunately are largely unknown by the newer generations.
@@KeesBoonsWant to piss off a leftist tell him lies (alternative facts)! If you want to piss off a right-wing man, tell him the truth!🤷♂️
I think left and right have no meaning anymore. Just like Greens is just a label, we are green, let's help kill, let's go back to coal.
Right now US has Democrats in power, they are labelled left, they are far right if Republicans.
As Elon Musk said, I haven't changed my views, I used to be Democrat, they have moved so much to the right and Republicans are fighting for' left' causes.
Of course, I paraphrased, he merely had a brilliant diagram.
Fact is that US has evolved into an evil, meglomanic destructor. If you consider yourself right, I am sure u r not too happy of forced deindustrikizatiin of Germany. Someone in Germany has to say it loud that Nord Stream was an attack on Germany and EU.
Oh what an argument. Someone called leftist, so his arguments are selective and predictable. Like rightist, like centrist. Like yours to don't think yourself.
@@KokuswolfUseless comment.
I just gave this information (it was not an argument) for non German people who don't know him. Not that they think he's a neutral comedian.
And he's isn't incorrect in this video, I just said that he clearly has an agenda and people should know about that if they plan to watch more videos of him.
this is ironic comedy... just awesome.......but true
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES that is absolutly True !!!!!!!!!!!
