CORRECTIONS: Churches are actually exempt from paying taxes in Germany and the Neo-Nazi party is called NPD of course, and not NDP like I said in the video. I didn't notice I had the letters switched because I never use this word in English but thank you guys for pointing it out! Also, the US census is not voluntary which I'm aware of. This was phrased poorly. What I meant was that a lot of people don't get counted in the end and people submit their own information regarding name, date of birth, ethnic identity etc. which means they could submit wrong information too. I'm always open for corrections and thankful for any kind of feedback! :)
Germany has a reputation for demonstrating functional liberal governance. He sounds like he is trying to make ideas like humanitarianism and taking in refugees as bad. He might be one of those "nationalists" like the Orange One.
V. V never said they went down right away. They went up first but going down now. We've had refugees and other immigrants in our country for decades. It not like the refugees from 2015 changed our whole country out of the sudden.
Definetly depends on where you live in germany - where I live, there was snow just about a week ago (wich is kind of unusual...), but it was gone the same day. Even in the winter there wasnt much snow that actually stayed for a while...
He said Nazis are still around, that "some Germans are still Nazis". As she said, there are Nazis all over. It's a fact. You won't find slave owners in the US (there's some human trafficking just like any other country, but these people aren't out in the street making themselves known) so... your comparison is very much twisting the truth and twisting what was said.
You are assuming she wanted to roast him. But this is not implicit. You not need to offend people aggressively if you have good arguments and a beautiful mind.
Being a German that stumbled over this reaction video, I am glad that Feli took her time to correct all the factual mistakes Briggs had in his original video.
I think some of this guy's assumptions and "facts" could really do a lot of harm if he has a lot of followers and people take what he says for granted without checking any facts for themselves.
War auch ein doofes Video. Ich fühl mich echt selten beleidigt wenn andere über Deutschland reden, aber dieser Typ hat einfach falsche Fakten genutzt und mich damit schon genervt. Vielleicht ist sein Humor einfach nicht mein style, aber er kam mir sehr jammernd und auch ein bisschen überheblich vor :/
Tja wenn man Scheiße verzapft über ein ganzes Land, mit falschen Fakten und teilweise haltlosen Vorwürfen, muss dann halt auch mit dementsprechendem Feedback leben. Zumindest ist er schlau genug gewesen zu verstehen, dass es besser wäre das Video wieder zu löschen :D
Ich war gerade schon auf dem Weg ihm zu erklären, dass er sich vllt vorher informieren sollte bevor man eine ganze Nation in einem Video kritisiert und voreingenommendarstellt, aber scheint so als hätten das andere schon übernommenen
Second one was even funnyer ... American talking about high crime rates ... LMAO . And im reading he said Fascism is left wing ... As a Slovenian lefty , im actualy offended by that ... I know american school system sucks , and most of the nation is ignorant af ... but damn dude , this guy is not even trying....
TheyMade MeDoit Never go on Twitter or try to discuss it with them either. My big mistake. Do you ever get these moments where you feel like talking to someone about something could actually make you stupider? (Like your local stoner telling you about how we‘re in a simulation or how vegan is actually what humans were intended for) With American logic, I feel that x3
So good to hear, thank you! (I am a German who used to apologize for my nationality as a young one in multicultural settings... so some sort of inherited shame might be present in Germany, too.)
You could very easily make some of the very same arguments about the U.S.! I don't believe you can look anywhere in the U.S. and not see graffiti! We have a lot of hate groups that identify with Nazi's as well. Our weather? Of course, that depends on where you live. Upstate New York easily gets down to -20 and -30 degrees Fahrenheit; Arizona and New Mexico can get to 110-114 degrees Fahrenheit! On the East Coast, taxes aren't so bad; but if you go all the Way to the West Coast (California and Washington) taxes are the highest! The bigger differences would be our individual freedoms that we have.
@@RichardAmmo1 During the 1990s, there was a huge wave of HipHop-Culture running across Germany, which also gave the graffiti-culture a huge push... Needless to say where we got that from... NYC, i´m looking at you ;)
As a German, you are obviously in denial, as „this guy“ does straight talk, and actually does not even get the full devastating picture about what has been going on in Germany. Ich bin Russe der in Deutschland lebt, und inzwischen lachen sogar die Russen im armen eigentlich fast dritte welt land Russland über die deutschen und Deutschland, und haben Mitleid ! Aber genau du, mit solcher Ignoranz und naivität, und dem nicht wahrhaben wollen der Wahrheit, bist der Grund, warum Deutschland so sehr den bac runtergehen könnte und kann !
Ich finde, ehrlich gesagt, dass es eine Frechheit ist, ein Video wie "Top 10 reasons not to live in Germany" zu machen, ohne sich auch nur ansatzweise damit auseinandergesetzt zu haben. Das ist nicht nur extrem, ich sag mal "unhöflich" gegenüber den deutschen Leuten, sondern auch gefährliches Halbwissen, was auf die ausländische Zuschauer publiziert wird. Leider bekommen solche Videos schnell sehr viel Aufmerksamkeit...
Fand gerade den ersten Punkt heftig, dass er es so hinstellt als hätte die Flüchtlingskrise Deutschland ins Chaos gestürzt und alle würden dem zustimmen. Das stimmt halt gar nicht
Das Klima ich habe das mit dem beliebtesten Volk noch nie gesehen/gehört. Außerdem bin ich mir ziemlich sicher dass in Zeitungen aus anderen Ländern unter anderem um Trump geht (da seine Politik oftmals nicht so viel Sinn ergibt)
@@dasklima5751 ich stimme Ihnen da komplett zu. Ich bin halb Amerikanerin und mir wird jeden Tag an den Kopf geworfen, wie böse die USA doch ist. Aus Höflichkeit sage ich nie etwas dagegen, denn so wurde ich nun mal erzogen. Aber das geht mir einfach nur auf die Nerven! Wenn aber irgendjemand in einem Video, Gründe nennt, warum man nicht in Deutschland wohnen sollte, ist das Geschrei groß. Hier ist NICHT alles perfekt! Ich verstehe die Menschen nicht..
My husband was in the U S Army for 14 years and served 2 tours in Germany. Our first child was born in Stuttgart. We spent a total of 5 years in Germany, from 1982-1984 in Boblingen near Patch Barracks 1990-1992 in Pforzheim (stationed in Karlruhe.) We loved our time there. We would especially love to go back for Christmas if we had the money. I love your videos!
I personally hate that Americans say "many germans are still Nazis". There are more Neo-Nazis in the U.S than in Germany today. This made me a little bit angry, to hear something like that.
Alter JEDES andere Land denkt sofort an Nazis wenn jmd von Deutschland spricht ... woran das liegt ? ich schätze weil die in der Schule aufgehört haben mit zu hören nach Deutschland und Nazis .... Super dumm jmd unter 100 in Deutschland noch als Nazi zu betiteln.
Especially since everything having to do with Nazis is illegal in Germany, Austria, and many other European countries. The USA doesn't have a law that prohibits you from drawing swastikas everywhere.
I agree with you,Feli.I lived in Germany from 1986-88.I worked in Sembach Air Base Station and lived in Enkenbach.If it wasn't for my family being in Puerto Rico and U.S.,I would love to live in Germany.I learned to defend myself with the language and did some traveling.I drove to take Oktoberfest in München where you are from.And with all respect,German ladies are very beautiful. I watch all your You Tube posts because they bring back lots of very good memories.Good luck.Tchüss. Ich Lieber Deutcheland.
My father was in the USAF and we lived in Einkenbach for about 5 months and on the base in Sembach. This was back in 1966-1969. I never did learn much German. It wasn't taught very well then. It does bring back some good memories. I spent a lot of time in the woods and fields surrounding the base. I understand it's gone now.
@@simonemosle8075 like 8 thousand dollars only for a ride in a Ambulance to bring you to the hospital. And then you have to pay for the medical treatment on top of the 8 grand.
American dude about Germany: "Wouldn't wanna live there 'cause crime is high and nazis are still around". Uhmmmm...wha... have... have you actually been to America? Ever?
Sadly we have a high problem with really right people and politics and upcoming neo nazies. And the government is pretty much ignoring this because they don't want to believe it's true. But on the other hand if you look at whole Germany it's still a little number of people who have this nazi fuoghts and world view.
Briggs nr. 10: Crime/Murders rose when all those immigrants entered Germany (implying they are responsible). Briggs nr. 1: Nazis attacked immigrants in 2015, some with molotov cocktails - so... could it be that the risen crime rate in 2015 also includes crimes against immigrants? Those Briggs guy needs to rethink his logic...
I go to Germany every 4 years. We are going to the October fest next month. Always love visiting germany and have never felt uncomfortable traveling anywere. This guy is full of b.s. Feli just recently found your blog and fine them very interesting, informative, and entertaining all together. Thank you. Good luck with all your endeavors.
Actually its pretty inaccurate to talk about "crimes" a crime in germany could be insulting a officer etc. , in other countries only stuff like murder and torture is counted as a crime. All in all id say germany is one of the safest countries youll be able to find. The worst thing i ever saw in germany was someone driving over a red light lol and having loud music after 10pm lol.
Danke für die Gegendarstellung, das war ja schon fast schmerzhaft... Jetzt in Corona Zeiten bin ich ehrlich gesagt aber echt froh hier in DE zu sein, in Sachen Gesundheitsvorsorge kann ich hier jetzt grade nicht meckern, zumindest nicht im Vergleich zu den USA...
So wahr und nicht nur im Vergleich zu den USA. Gerade wenn man das Verhältnis zwischen den Infizierten und der Sterberate sich anschaut, haben im Schnitt die meisten Länder 5x so viele Tote wie Deutschland. Wir versorgen ja schon Frankreich mit, da die gerade mal 5.000 Intensivbetten haben, während wir 40.000 haben.
British living in Köln here: 10 - I feel safer in Köln than I did in the North of England. 9 - Graffiti, I really like most of it. 8 - I'd rather pay 50c to use a clean toilet than what I'm used to in the UK. Most public toilets are closed because of drug abuse. 7 - I admit they were intimidating when learning the language, but once you're able to see the words you know, its easy. English example: Coatpocketbutton. 6- Taxes are high, but the wage is higher. 5- Cash is something that takes time to get used to, but after a month it was normal to use and ATM every few days. 4- Winters are mild from what I've seen. 3- Yeah, okay as I'm writing this I wish I had air conditioning. Its 31c, and will be like this for the next 5 days. But for 5 weeks maximum in the summer will you wish you had it, and that isn't a consecutive 5 weeks. That's 3 days here, 2 days there... 2- I love that everything is closed on a Sunday. I can live one day without needing the supermarket or clothes shops. 1- Nazis... Why does anything about Germany from the US and also back home in the UK have to involve Nazis? Yes there are far right groups, but every county has that. There are a few things that annoy me but they are just differences. Paperwork and appointments. I had an appointment, to make the next appointment. The next appointment was to tell me what to bring to my next appointment. The final appointment is what I actually needed... Also the Y and Z are the wrong way round on my keyboard and that makes it so hard to speed type when I have a Y in my word :D
@@ezekiel8660 I would say you can't deny that racism exists in Germany, but as far as i know, it only affects how often you're pulled out or checked by the police. And that's not very often. Most of us don't care if you're black or not and if your german is good enough, nobody will care except a few racists.
@@jodo370 As a main rule, I'd agree with that. But racism shows in different flavours. Whilst you may have appropriate access to education, high-qualified jobs or even appartments to rent, many Germans will stare at black people when they see or meet them for the first time. I guess this is not so much because they feel themselves superior, but because there are way less black people living in Germany than in America. Still, this to me is racist in a certain way. I would want to point out that many Germans distinguish between different skin colors. While I learned that in America you are either a (caucasian) White, a Latino, (native) Indian, Asian or Black, in Germany you would not be considered "black" as long as your skin is not very dark. And yes, this to me is racist in a certain way, too. I would not call Germany a place where black Americans need to expect appropriate behaviour (from whites), but once you have overcome the shock of being stared at (at times), I think you can set up some kind of a good life. This all may sound racist in itself (apologies if it did, not intended), but I think that's what to take into consideration when visiting, or moving to, Germany.
@@ezekiel8660 Racism in Europe isn't the same as in the US. the worst you'll suffer is quite more police checks. The culture is completely different. Slavery wasn't really a thing in Europe (I mean, we heavily participated, but almost no slaves get in europe, because Church was against having slaves in it's juridiction or whatever it is called) and Western countries have seen millions of north/west African and Middle East migration after WWII so (almost) every one is used to that and countries in general thanks that migration that helped rebuilding countries. I believe the racism is more against Chineese right know (at least here in France) and Turkish in Germany, because the first ones are known to be horrible tourists and the second one because some Turkish migrants/descendants that live in Germany say they have nothing to do with it and are Turkish and only Turkish (tell me if I am wrong, this is just how we see it here in France)
I tried to comment on the original video for all the BS in there but it was taken offline. Anyhow. Great reaction! *Thanks Feli*, for setting things right!
Gecko 2.6 the german word is „größer“ and a lot of people think that „greater“ is the right word to use, when it should be „higher“ in this case :) it‘s a common confusion between these two
@@carlotta7010 Not only that. You don't want to know how often I "misused" the wort 'eventually' instead of 'perhaps'. It's still one if not the word I hate the most because I instantly think of the german word 'eventuell', become mad and want to hit someone with a Handschuh
Yep, as well as a "I have this romantic version of America in my head that reflects MY reality and MY experiences and nobody can tell me otherwise" kind of dude
weeell... the crime rates sre dropping every year in Germany! and in the US... correct me if I am wrong but in the US nothing is really changing regarding crime rates ...
Hi Feli! Your english and german are very good, bi-lingual is awesome! I lived in Germany, well West Germany from May 1985 till May 1987. I was assigned to Ramstein Air Base near Kaiserslautern. The entire time I was there with my Air-Force friends we never had a negative encounter with a German resident. When we went off base to Landstuhl and Kaiserslautern the shop owners helped us buying items like clothes, hobby items, car parts etc. One week-end we drove about 60 kilometers to a Miami Beach styled discoteque. On the way home my VW beetle (Kafer) ran out of gas (benzine). A car full of teenagers helped us with some gasoline to get back to Ramstein. The German law says you have to help stranded motorists, but it's not like they were ordered too. They gladly helped us and were very kind to us, you don't forget stuff like that. A few months later we helped out a German that had crashed his car into highway intersection "island" His engine was still running, he was very drunk, and had minor injuries. We turned off the engine and rendered first aid to his cuts. We went to the nearest house (haus) to call for the ambulance (krankenhausauto? I think). The Polizei did arrive though and gave him a ticket or fine. We found a small farming village; Hermesberg, one week-end just driving around the country side. They had a small discoteque there called Paradies. We would go there almost every week-end. The townspeople adopted us after awhile and invited us to visit their homes during Fasching and Oktoberfest. My friends and I will be going back to Germany mid June 2024 for 18 days! As far as that other youtuber his facts and stats are misleading.
̐ alleine dein rassistisches Kommentar zeigt dass deine Meinung nen Dreck wert ist. Was hat denn der Ausländeranteil mit der Kriminalitätsrate zu tun. Natürlich gibt es Problemviertel mit vielen Ausländern. Aber es gibt genauso viele mit Deutschen.
I'm going to propose a crazy theory here: maybe the crime rates in America have something to do with their ethnic fragmentation, wich causes a lot of gang criminality.
@Pia Kjærsgaard No you can't compare Deutschland to the Eu because Germany is by far the richest country in the Eu and its by far the cuntry with less crime and poverty
@@Luc-pt9du you could object to maybe having to work indoors without having access to ac, could be difficult to change that at your workplace. but for what do we have serverrooms ... am i right?
A lot of houses and public buildings have central air systems. I think that is what he was refering to. But of course you could buy a window or standing unit.
Thank you so much for your videos, I am visiting your lovely Country for the first time this month and you have consistently been the best advice I’ve seen on RUclips. Also, I know this was posted awhile ago, but I apologize for this guy’s rude advice on his channel. You were very patient! Haha.
This Mr. Briggs obviously not only has never been to Germany, but also close to no clue about what Germany is about. Felicia did a good job to point this out.
agreed, I think mr. Briggs is running out of subject matter, some of his other videos are kinda funny though if you don't take them to seriously.. I'm glad she straightened him out.
Thats your Point? Mr. Briggs doesnt even understand english. Combining 2 words is confusing and just done to fuck with english speakers? Yeah because putting "wild" and "leder" together to create the word wildleder (wild leather) is confusing to the english speaking world that puts together hand and bag for handbag, or trash and can for trashcan etc.
@@kaitan4160 pretty sure he just stepped on his keyboard to generate this "longest ever word"... double E is very uncommon in german and,while i didnt count and lost track, that were no where close to 80 letters, as he claimed

But you know only 63 Letters isntead of the 79 of that donau thingy word. And aboput that double e.

Okay first ,how is graffiti a reason not to visit a country? Second , how is" paying to pee" a big problem? Third ,you shouldn't visit it ,because the language is "awful" seriously? Fourth I don't see how paying in cash is such a big deal Fifth,if you can't handle climate differences ,then you shouldn't travel.
When i was on a school trip in Berlin a local gave us a tour around a district full of graffiti, and it was so great. Of course there were the occasional bad ones but others were stunningly beautiful, some were even made legally and on behalf of the owners of the walls. I find it annoying when people just say that a graffiti is always a bad thing, it can lead to property damage but it can also enhance the beauty of the surrounding depending in the artist.
@@Crayven95 it's just hilarious how uneducated and uneducational these "fact channels" really are. Even a 3 minute research on google would've given me more *true* facts than his shitty video
Well, most places it is a short time that it is uncomfortable but you won't die from this. Air conditioning is rare because it is not really necessary. His points were lame as hell on reasons why you should not live in Germany. Says an american who has probably never been outside his own village. If he wants to pick at negative things I guarantee america would outweigh Germany by a landslide. He failed to mention the great quality of life, the health care system, the entertainment, the education system. Those are things to consider when you want to live somewhere along with cost of living etc not if the Oktoberfest is awesome or if you have to shop on another day other than sunday or that it might be too cold one day and you might have to look at some graffiti on your way down the street which by the way most is art.
A friend of mine moved from America to Germany and appearently a lot of houses there don't have the "Kipp" function. She had never seen this before she came to Germany
Ausserdem krass Scheinheilig. Ein Ammi vom land der rechts-extremen, die Kirchen und Schulen uebern Haufen schiessen, redet von Gewalttaten??? Wirkleich? Soll mann lachen?
I spent 17 days in Germany Summer of ‘23. I loved every single second I was there. I felt very safe in each town I visited. I found the people lovely and the food delicious. I loved how the Germans take holiday in caravans along the River, biking along the River and how the cities I visited there weren’t a lot of cars driving in the towns, more bikes and pedestrians than cars.

His video seems like the typical Americans opinion of Germany, and it's annoying that he used false or manipulated statistics to fit his opinion, especially when he's trying to pass it off as educational.
I think he wanted to "roast" Germany in a comedic way and even said so right in the beginning. But he came off way too serious to make that clear. Would explain why much of what he said was so ridiculously false.
Lol his Video got Deleted so I'd like to think he didn't mean to use false stats and conjecture. He probably just read it off the 3rd or 4th website when he googled this info and never fact checked to get the video out to get that sweet RUclips money.

@@phoebeel Aaaand our cooling season is just way shorter than in parts of the US. In contrast, someone I know once whined how they were freezing because the temperature dropped to 40F (5C). I found this weird, until I learned that they didn't have heating in their house, because they barely need it there.
As a European I can confirm, I hate air-conditioning, All it has ever done for me Is give me a cold because of the extreme temperature differences I had to be in. The thing with this is, If it's too hot where you are working, You picked the wrong spot to work. Sure not everything is mobile, But you don't have to sit at your desk to read a file, Just take it into the break room, Or outside if that doesn't work for you. In the summer it's too hot and in the winter it's too cold, Yet I used my heater for a whopping 7 days in the last year And I don't own any form of cooling system. Granted in the winter I spend most of my time in the workspace, Where an active PC might heat things up a bit, But surely the USA houses have those too.
I'd love to not use AC anymore. Believe me I go as long as I can everyday before turning it on, but when it's 105°F (41°C) here and we don't even have insulation in most of my home it's unbearable. Even with AC pumping I sweat all day. Hopefully one day I'll live in a more moderate climate
@@sacroyalty I wouldn't know what that's like, While I tend to adapt easily to what is seen here as high temperatures, (20°C to 35°C, tho 30+ rarely lasts long) 41°C is higher than I ever experienced.
Fun fact: Shakespeare loved The German language for its ability to combine words which he sometimes used to create words in the English language bc it wasn’t „lyrical“ enough to express everything he wanted to say
You're right! In fact, here are some examples: 1. die Glühbirne (the light bulb) --> glühen (to glow) + die Birne (the pear) 2. der Handschuh (the glove) --> die Hand (the hand) + der Schuh (the shoe) 3. das Flugzeug (the plane) --> der Flug, fliegen (the flight, to fly) + das Zeug (the stuff, the thing) 4. Durchfall (diarrhea) --> durch (through) + der Fall (the fall) 5. der Buchrücken (the back of a book) --> das Buch (the book) + der Rücken (the back) In that sense, German is really nice to play with in that it gives you a lot of possibilities. You can combine two words to create something entirely new, or shuffle the layout of a sentence pretty much at will and still have it make sense. I still prefer English, but I can see why people would want to learn it.
Yeah IDK what twain was on about, especially saying it would take 30 hours to learn english and 30 days to learn french. Being born american with english as a first language, I've been learning french for years and i took 2 weeks worth of german lessons. I'd say I understand german grammar better than french grammar. French is objectively harder than german, especially because of the vaguely recent changes to german to make it more uniform/have less regional differences
As a Jewish family we feel much safer here in Germany than we ever did in Canada or the USA. We are better accepted here and nobody really cares what your religion (beyond the taxing scheme) is. Lol. Moving to Germany was the best thing we have ever done and we are happy to be raising our children here. We raised in Canada and spent about a year in the US before coming here. I would never choose to go back. I much prefer parenting here and allowing our children the freedom to grow and thrive. Thank goodness we don’t bubble wrap kids here!!
Das freut mich sehr zu hören, dass sie gerne in Deutschland leben. Die Mehrheit der deutschen Bürger schämen sich für die Verbrechen der Nazis und wollen solche Zeiten niemals wieder haben.

You have a very frirndly and pleasant style. I also live in Cincinnati and you chose a good American city to call home🙂Welcome. My wife and I also had a German student here for 11 months in 2004-05 and I call my German daughter Theresa. We are still in touch and I have been to Germany 5 times and enjoyed it very much. Her entire fsmily has also come here to visit. The German people are friendly, proud and well educated. They also have a much better global view of things then so many ignorant Americans that asdume we are the best at everything when we are not. Take care of yourself.😊

It's just different lol. You open a window in summer in the Midwest when the humidity is 80% and it's 40C outside, you're NOT cooling your house, you're making it miserable.
@@kaldogorath When its so hot, we have closed windows during the day (or partly open) and open completly during the night. The big difference is that our buildings (thick brick walls) got much more thermal capacity than typical US wooden house so it stays cool even during the day. Nowadays when wooden houses are more and more common, the AC is becoming a thing. Of course in the office buildings made out of steel/concrere and glass, the AC is a must and is actually everywhere. (Writing from Czechia, almost the same climate as Bavaria in south Germany)
@@tiedeman39 it's called cooling draught. It actually helps a lot. But also generally all our houses are way better insulated than the average house in America. It's way over 25/28°C outside for the last weeks and my house has had a stable temperature of 19/21° and it's only going to go slightly up. Well, except for the attic, but noone lives there so it's not a problem. Also what helps a lot is that almost every house has a basement. The basement is always very cool, a) because it is built into the ground so it is cooled from the surrounding soil and b) because warm air always flows to the top. So this generates a cooling draught when the air can go outside at the top. The first floor is usually very cool as well thanks to the basement and only the upper floors are hotter, but if you live in a house the effect from the cooling draught is usually more than enough to get a comfortable temperature throughout the house.
"German Winters are hard" *Me, still walking with shorts till November* "Summer in Germany is nice" *Me, fainting at 40° in the basketball tournament* (and school still wasn't closed) And like a few minutes after it, he said, that he wouldn't live in Germany in the summer, he kinda reminds me of this "well yes, but actually no" meme
It is may and I nearly died two days ago cause it was to hot, but yesterday it was cold and rainy and god the season in Germany are just confusing as hell!
Guys, I'm from Hungary, and a lot of his points aren't really about Germany, but Europe. We too have to pay to use the public toilets (mostly in areas with lots of tourists), we close our shops in sundays (mostly smaller shops), we have high taxes, we have immigrants, we have grafiti, we have long words, we also have neo-nazis. It's not a "German-only" thing. Thank god this guy stays in the USA.
Long words in Dutch too. Grafiti, high taxes and we too pay for the toilets. As you say, all European. On Sunday many shops are closed too in the Netherlands, but not as much as in Germany, supermarkets are open from 9:00 to 21:00.
The thing of shops closing on sundays... I think it mostly originates from the wide spread of the Christian culture with all that stuff of "resting on the seventh day" if you know what I mean.
If he didn't specifically say Germany in the beginning, all the points he made could've been about Detroit or one of a bunch of Midwestern places (mostly because of the weather)
Winters in Germany sound mild compared to Québec, Canada winters. Our winters here in Québec are very cold. In the minus' always and often in the minus 20. Snow covers the ground usually by November and only starts to leave in March. We often have huge snowstorms in March and sometimes in April, but they soon melt away. It's the storms with the enormous snowflakes and they are so beautiful. They are our last storms before spring comes.
I carefully assessed the risks and, finally, decided to stay in Germany. Of course, it’s a daily struggle not being robbed of my cash by Nazis, surviving snow storms without air condition in December, or, even worse, encountering bad graffiti that may even kill you. It has never been a country for the faint hearted like Briggs but for tough guys to which I certainly belong. Hmmmm, or maybe not? 🤔
marsa74, chapeau for dealing with these everyday struggles here in Germany. But looking at your list and comparing it to Mr. Briggs’ list of horrors, I have to admit that you obviously still have to master the remaining fifty percent. What about that nasty paying for using restrooms with cash money that you don’t have due to the high taxes which are explained with incredibly long german words? 🤔
The chances are higher getting insulted by a nationalistic turkisch grey wolf (biggest right extremist group in Germany), than being robbed by a "real" Nazi, who understands the politics of H¡tler and the NSDAP. ;)
MB Eaglewolf That the weather is getting warmer in Germany in the past 20 years is not a proof for a global climate change either. If you just watch e.g. only Germany this could be a local short term effect. Only if you look at ALL global data for the past 2000 years you will have a scientific proof that there is a continues increase of temperature globally. There was never a time before in history where the temperature rised globally parallel except for the last 200 years. So of course the global climate change is well proofed with solid data but you need to argue correct.
@Stefan St. Dude chill! His comment wasn’t that ONLY germany is affected. But it would be very unusual for a whole country to drastically change it‘s climate for a longer period of time without any visible changes like new Mountains or stuff like that, that could interrupt the normal climate, so it‘s not that far of a thought, to assume from only Germanys data, that the rest of the World is affected too.
"The Berlin task force for graffiti wasn't formed until the early 90ies" - he does know that Berlin (and Germany) only reunited a few years earlier? And had bigger problems than graffiti?
The first Graffiti Task Force formed in 1985 after a complete train (S-Bahn) top to bottom Action named "Geltendorfer Zug". 7 named Sprayers are involved and one of them are Loomit from Munich!
I have spent more than a year in Germany in total since my first trip in 1967 with the USAF. I have been visiting about 2 weeks every year since 2005. Sundays as "quiet days" is something I embrace. It was like that here in New York, when I was younger. I have lived for 78 years and still try to not do any loud work on Sundays to respect everyone's peace. 2015 in Kaiserslautern it was over 100F and while visiting my son, I purchased a portable A/C for his home since it was so unbearable. Just returned from Oktoberfest in Muenchen for about the 12th time. Cannot wait to return. The rail and bus system is phenomenal. Prices are comparable to NY state. Weather was in the mid to upper 70s from Amsterdam south to Paris and about mid 60s in Muenchen this Sept 19-29. I've visited in December for the Christmas Markets and there was zero snow and warmer than NY state at the time. English seems to be the second language so most Germans speak it, making my lack of German less of a hurdle. I really enjoy all your videos.
To be honest, 20 years ago the winters in the north were much colder and we had a lot more snow... it was pretty common for the temperatures to drop down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Good ol days.. :D
Ahhh yes my wonderful northern winters up here...I mean our seasons are amazing! Slightly chilly rain and pollen Moderatly warm rain More chilly rain but now theres pumpkins Somewhat cold rain and ice slush So diverse!!!
So been living in Germany all my live, I'm 15 and I wasn't everywhere in Germany alright ok great but the only times I had to pay to go to the restroom are at some gas stations in the middle of nowhere xd
@@yooghurt Hallo Army :) I gotta disagree based on my experience (I'm 24). In my area you just gotta ask for a key to go to the toilet at a gas station. On my way to the concert in Paris we did stop at some really huge gas stations with restaurants and stuff and yes we had to pay there (between 50 cents and 1 Euro). But toilets in small regular gas stations in cities are usually free.
I've only recently subscribed to this channel but I hope Feli does another video (or has already) about reasons TO live or visit Germany because there are so many.
As a foreigner in Germany I can attest, that it doesn't take 30 years to learn the german language. I was fluent in 1 year and been living here for 14 years, still alive. Still happy.
Flash High the grammar has been a bit rough for sure. But I have remained motivated to keep learning and I’m not trying to overthink it. I visited Germany in January before this virus closed everything and I fell in love with the country and its language.
@@extofer yes not trying to overthink it is the best idea;) And fun fact: a friend who learns german since 3 years (lives here too) speaks a lot better german grammar then me as a native speaker so don't worry:D
These days it's not very cold here (Sweden) either. Last winter we didn't have snow at all (at the Swedish west coast), at least not enough to remember.
"German girl destroys strange uneducated individual from the US that makes a fool from himself by faking statistics, and talking conspiratorial bullshit or just wrong things"
Germany is a great country to visit and totaly safe! Last year we travelled trough the country - from right north to alps and back again. It was one of the best trips ever what we have had! So many sightseeing and rich culture! Particularly memorable was the whole of Bavaria, with its wonderful nature and old towns! Endless sights that are described on the Internet rather modestly or not at all :). The trip was extremely safe and during our entire trip we could not come across anything that threatened our family or our little children.
Yes!! Im very glad hearing this! I am from Germany and I love my country! Sometimes I think „What does others think about our country?“ Yes, there are very bad things, but also a lot of very good things! (Sorry for my english 😁)
@@schoenelieder I love your country. We used to have such a wonderful time there. The German people are so friendly and helpful. With my very limited German, they did their best to understand me, unlike some countries. Your English is fine, I certainly can understand you.😘
@@marycroft2450 I am glad to hear it! :) In Germany the English language is very popular (at least for the young) and German words are often very long and cumbersome, but they all make sense and have logic, even if you don't believe it! XD No, I love the German language, too! How sounds it for you when you was in Germany?
@schonelieder4701 when we were In Germany, if we were caught speaking English, we had people coming to us, buying us a beer, well apelsaft for me wanting to speak English to us. Friends we made used to take us all round their families too. When they visited Britain, they stayed with us and we showed them London. We had great times.
If all German are Nazis- which, according to him, seems to be true- how much sense does it make, to ask a German about refugees? And how much sense does our "Refugees Welcome" scene make if all of us are Nazis? He ist just a representative of a stereotypical American. Congratulations on that, dude! I mean: there are information he could have researched easily using this thing called internet. That is not too complicated. I am gonna go now, and shovel the imaginary snow in front of my house since its not May already and our winters are very cold as we learned.
As an American living in Germany since 2014, I found your reaction great, and his video quite misinformed. Germany is a great place to live and to visit.
Germany reported 6,000,000+ crimes in a year so yeah I guess it is. From the looks of it a lot of petty theft. I don’t know why everyone is so upset over this..... she was extremely hostile speaking both of h their numbers were wrong go look at Germany’s official government page if you wanna get crime stats for every year...
@@HojaFPS exactly. Also I'm pretty sure that those number, when a lot of refugees came in, have gone up, because those who are against those people have commited more crimes, too. But that doesn't come to the mind of any right-wing people.
I lived in Germany for two years, and have often visited there since. I have a lifelong friend I met in 1976 when we shared a cab in London! He owns a gasthaus in Nurnburg, and comes every year to the United States for a month's vacation. Mr. Briggs has given a totally incorrect version of Germany. The people are friendly and polite, it is very well administered, and there are many fun things to do. I remember the volksmarches, or hikes through the woods on the weekends. Happy, friendly people. I am glad Feli set the record straight. Danke schoen!
@@jonathanstasch8908 was? Sprachen aus dem lateinischen heißen "romanisch". Germanisch ist nicht verwandt mit dem Romanischen. Deutsch hat beides, germanische und romanische Wurzeln.
@@riverskylife8248 And considering there are plenty more train stations, those services will not be scarce. America once had a culture that revolved at least a bit in towns around train stations, also. They would always have at least a café... shoe-shine shop, newsstand, tobacco shop, etc.
@@its1110 it is true tho that the change can seem weird. I'm from Austria where we also have Sundays off but I moved to the UK for university. Whenever I came back I did miss not having the opportunity to go to a supermarket if I had a craving on a Sunday. Of course that's a super 1st world problem but imagine living alone and not having any food at home. If you've just moved here and you live in an area with no open stores on a Sunday, it can be a change in routine

I lived in Germany for three years, in the small town of Blickweiler and I LOVED it there!! I didn’t want to leave! Everyone we met was extremely warm, friendly and welcoming. Nobody had air conditioning but I don’t remember ever feeling uncomfortably warm. The weather was nice and pleasant for the most part and I found the language fairly easy to learn. Of course I spoke what my German teacher referred to as “plat Deutsch” but hey, it worked for me! And the German boys were so handsome and sweet!!! I’d go back in a heartbeat to visit, I’d even love to live there again! And I just have to add I never heard of any crimes or criminal activity the entire three years I was there. Possibly because it was a small town and it may have been more common in the bigger cities, but in my experience it was very safe and a wonderful place to live!
Henry Staggs It’s actually not that way. You pay the maximum tax of 45% only if you make over 250000€ annually and also for the amount that is over 250000. The rest of your tax is calculated with individual tax bracket, so you always pay way less than 45% on most of your income, at least if you’re not making like 1000000 a year. Also you can just go to the hospital and get a 300000 Dollar brain surgery for free if you need it and won’t have to sell your life.
Henry Staggs Not everyone has the money to buy 100$ medicine. Even if it’s just once every few years. I don’t have any money at the end of the month to safe so if I would get sick in your country I would have to die because I would be too poor to buy medicine.
Thanks, the video was important to correct these things. As a German I'm really surprised about many of these 10 points. There are a lot of reasons not to travel to the US too, like the higher crime rate, unsufficient rental car insurances in case of accidents with humans, very expensive school and health care system, etc. But I still do travel to the US, as it also has it's good things (and I have to visit clients over there).
Moral of the story: people still (20 years into the 21st century) spread garbage about other cultures. Information is just a click away, his intentions were clear: this video was a straight up insult to Germany, this guy is way out of line.
We shouldn't care so much about what other countries think about us, at least we are one of the most popular countries in the world, even the British love us nowadays
@Searat so then tell some TRUE reasons why Germany is bad (NOT WW2!!!) after your response I m going to tell you why the U. S is trash compared to Germany And is it possible that you didn't even understand his message 😂???
The referenced video imo wasn't meant to insult Germany. It's simply a click bait created by an apparently not very educated douchebag, excuse me: young guy and feeds common prejudices to get views and make money.
He’s not here to talk about America. His videos talk about every country and has plenty of videos talking about the crime in America. Just because he lives in a country with typically higher crime rates than Germany doesn’t mean he can’t speak on another countries crime. Sure, some of his statistics were incorrect, but you get the point
@@js8430 all of his statistics were incorrect and he acts like america is the most secure country out there, so no, i think i got a point with my comment 💀
hannah I’m not validating him because of his statistics. I’m validating him because he releases videos about every US state about 10 reasons it’s a shithole. Your view that he thinks America is the most secure country is misinformed. He’s a roast channel
So, Americans aren't allowed to make videos about other countries?. I guess that Nazi mindset never leaves a German. In your head you're the best and no one should talk about our German country.
@@AviationNut lmfaoo whoa there mr.💀 no one should spread false information to pull a country down and make their own look better, thats all im saying. if you cant accept that americas crime rate is incredibly much higher than the german one how about you go to a protest against police brutality? xoxo
I was stationed in Germany in the late 60's and early 70'S with my family and lived off post the entire time. With each promotion we moved to a nicer place and enjoyed each new location. We had no trouble with any of the things that were mentioned in the video. Of course being in the American military did help somewhat. Please keep these great videos coming and have a great day.
I love it when people never lived anywhere else in the world such as Briggs make dumb assertions about other countries. As a German living in the US I have to thank you for setting facts straight. Geistiger Dünnpfiff is what I call his “expertise”
Yes. I love Germany. Some say the people are cold and stand-off-ish. Maybe some, but when you get to know them they are incredible people, analytical and authentic with excellent common sense.
Finde auch gut wie er sagt es gab mehr Straftaten, aber nicht welche. Der meiste Anstieg 15/16 waren illegale Grenzübertretungen. Womit ich nicht sage, dass dies keine Straftat ist. Aber sie tangiert mich persönlich in meiner Sicherheit wenig
@@cueiyo6906 Er, no. Anonymous creature was correct. In English, "man's" can signify either the contraction "man is" (as in, "that man's wearing a hat" = that man is wearing a hat) or the possessive form of man (as in, "that man's hat is on the table" = the hat belonging to the man is on the table). Just to take it a little further (to the sentence Anon was correcting), "men" is the plural of "man." Most plural possessives in English are formed with an "s" suffix followed by an apostrophe (as in, "his sons' hats were left on the floor" = the hats belonging to his (multiple) sons were left on the floor) but in the case of irregular plurals like "man/men", the plural possessive is formed the same way as the singular possessive, so, "men's" (as in, "he went to a men's store to buy a suit" = he went to a store for men to buy a suit) My qualifications: native American English speaker with a BA in English language & literature, a minor in Latin, an MA in history, and an MLS in library science. I'm a professional reference librarian.
By telling a lot of crap. A lot of the stuff the guy said is actually true. A little young woman is just not terribly qualified to talk about stuff like this :/
I mean that his video now is not available anymore just goes to show that he probably got a lot of Germans telling him of... I mean.. I personally was just annoyed the how God damn time
The video she's commenting on is actually taken down now, so I hope he just googled and took whatever he got to copy and make a video. I think he realized how dumb he was on the video and took it down because of that
I'm in the early planning stages of a holiday/roadtrip to Germany (from England) so this was good to know. Though I feel most of the things mentioned would apply more to residents, it was certainly good to get some accurate information that was not just based on "what can I say to maximise views" so I appreciated your candour
so true ☺ Whatever this lady is wearing - the choice of the picture says everything. It's like using a pic from John Wayne in one of his movies and say let's talk about the US ... Too much shooting in their saloon - stay away ...
As a Norwegian I always find it hilarious when Americans complain about high tax rates. Yes, they are high but the average Norwegian (and I assume the average German) still end up with more money in the end, not to mention if they ever become sick or need an operation.
You are sorely mistaken if you think the average German ends up with as much money per year income wise after taxes as in the USA. Maybe Norway does though. It is true that it's not like it was in the mid 20th century though when the USA was substantially wealthier per capita than most of developed europe.

It doesn't raise the carbon footprint extremely. If we removed AC from every home, the difference would be within margin of error. Secondly, a lot of people would die. In my US city, hundreds of people die each year when their AC stops working. Not everywhere is as temperate as Germany. In July, it gets up to 40C with 80% relative humidity. If you plug that into a heat index calculator, you'll see that it FEELS like it's 83C. That's why we don't open the windows in the summer and why we have AC. We do open the windows in spring and fall though.
@@kaldogorath You're way too overdramatic. All the African countries also don't have that much AC and it is not the heat that kills them. Also your first statement is actually wrong. Cooling uses a lot of energy. This is also the reason why you should not let your fridge open.
@@kaldogorath Dude, the US have usually buildings with very poor isolation, so obviously you need AC. Most of your homes are made of wood. In germany the buildings are way better with top isolation, that's why it's not needed. Ofc their are also good buildings in the US too, but it's not the majority. It's also a good option to make not perfect buildings, because if they get blown away every year anyway, it would cost to much money.
Yeah, I'd get why someone might hesitate to live somewhere particularly warm without it, but Germany? His last complaint was literally about how Germany has cold winters, and it didn't even occur to him that the country might not have sweltering summers?

CORRECTIONS: Churches are actually exempt from paying taxes in Germany and the Neo-Nazi party is called NPD of course, and not NDP like I said in the video. I didn't notice I had the letters switched because I never use this word in English but thank you guys for pointing it out! Also, the US census is not voluntary which I'm aware of. This was phrased poorly. What I meant was that a lot of people don't get counted in the end and people submit their own information regarding name, date of birth, ethnic identity etc. which means they could submit wrong information too. I'm always open for corrections and thankful for any kind of feedback! :)
Germany has a reputation for demonstrating functional liberal governance. He sounds like he is trying to make ideas like humanitarianism and taking in refugees as bad. He might be one of those "nationalists" like the Orange One.
V. V never said they went down right away. They went up first but going down now. We've had refugees and other immigrants in our country for decades. It not like the refugees from 2015 changed our whole country out of the sudden.

"German winters are wild"
Me, a german: *havent seen proper snow for like 5 years*
5 years? Wow... The last time i saw snow was 2011!
Lol and I saw snow 3 days ago here in Norway
In CT, (next to New York) there used to be 5 feet snow around 7 years ago and now at most 3 inch and this year, nothin.
Oh yeah, here in Finland is just snowed last thursday
Definetly depends on where you live in germany - where I live, there was snow just about a week ago (wich is kind of unusual...), but it was gone the same day. Even in the winter there wasnt much snow that actually stayed for a while...
Saying "all Germans are Nazis" is like hearing someone is from the US and asking how many slaves they own...
Berninman I‘m a straight girl but go off

Yeah I'm Jewish and I have many German friends, it's just a stereotype that has sadly developed over the years
He said Nazis are still around, that "some Germans are still Nazis". As she said, there are Nazis all over. It's a fact. You won't find slave owners in the US (there's some human trafficking just like any other country, but these people aren't out in the street making themselves known) so... your comparison is very much twisting the truth and twisting what was said.

Being a German that stumbled over this reaction video, I am glad that Feli took her time to correct all the factual mistakes Briggs had in his original video.
Feli was SO amazingly courteous and polite. I suspect this is how most Germans react to other people trying to rip holes in them unnecessarily.
As a German I also agree
"mistakes"... Looked to me like the typical right wing propaganda stuff mixed together with making shit up for outrage.
I think some of this guy's assumptions and "facts" could really do a lot of harm if he has a lot of followers and people take what he says for granted without checking any facts for themselves.

You could very easily make some of the very same arguments about the U.S.! I don't believe you can look anywhere in the U.S. and not see graffiti! We have a lot of hate groups that identify with Nazi's as well. Our weather? Of course, that depends on where you live. Upstate New York easily gets down to -20 and -30 degrees Fahrenheit; Arizona and New Mexico can get to 110-114 degrees Fahrenheit! On the East Coast, taxes aren't so bad; but if you go all the Way to the West Coast (California and Washington) taxes are the highest! The bigger differences would be our individual freedoms that we have.

I agree with you,Feli.I lived in Germany from 1986-88.I worked in Sembach Air Base Station and lived in Enkenbach.If it wasn't for my family being in Puerto Rico and U.S.,I would love to live in Germany.I learned to defend myself with the language and did some traveling.I drove to take Oktoberfest in München where you are from.And with all respect,German ladies are very beautiful.
I watch all your You Tube posts because they bring back lots of very good memories.Good luck.Tchüss.
Ich Lieber Deutcheland.
My father was in the USAF and we lived in Einkenbach for about 5 months and on the base in Sembach. This was back in 1966-1969. I never did learn much German. It wasn't taught very well then. It does bring back some good memories. I spent a lot of time in the woods and fields surrounding the base. I understand it's gone now.
Yes,it is.

Sadly we have a high problem with really right people and politics and upcoming neo nazies. And the government is pretty much ignoring this because they don't want to believe it's true.

Briggs nr. 10: Crime/Murders rose when all those immigrants entered Germany (implying they are responsible).

British living in Köln here:
10 - I feel safer in Köln than I did in the North of England.
9 - Graffiti, I really like most of it.
8 - I'd rather pay 50c to use a clean toilet than what I'm used to in the UK. Most public toilets are closed because of drug abuse.
7 - I admit they were intimidating when learning the language, but once you're able to see the words you know, its easy. English example: Coatpocketbutton.
6- Taxes are high, but the wage is higher.
5- Cash is something that takes time to get used to, but after a month it was normal to use and ATM every few days.
4- Winters are mild from what I've seen.
3- Yeah, okay as I'm writing this I wish I had air conditioning. Its 31c, and will be like this for the next 5 days. But for 5 weeks maximum in the summer will you wish you had it, and that isn't a consecutive 5 weeks. That's 3 days here, 2 days there...
2- I love that everything is closed on a Sunday. I can live one day without needing the supermarket or clothes shops.
1- Nazis... Why does anything about Germany from the US and also back home in the UK have to involve Nazis? Yes there are far right groups, but every county has that.
There are a few things that annoy me but they are just differences.
Paperwork and appointments. I had an appointment, to make the next appointment. The next appointment was to tell me what to bring to my next appointment. The final appointment is what I actually needed...

@@FelifromGermany What is life like in Germany (I'm American). Should i move there as an adult? And also how's the racism (I'm black)?
@@ezekiel8660 I would say you can't deny that racism exists in Germany, but as far as i know, it only affects how often you're pulled out or checked by the police. And that's not very often. Most of us don't care if you're black or not and if your german is good enough, nobody will care except a few racists.
@@jodo370 As a main rule, I'd agree with that. But racism shows in different flavours.
Whilst you may have appropriate access to education, high-qualified jobs or even appartments to rent, many Germans will stare at black people when they see or meet them for the first time. I guess this is not so much because they feel themselves superior, but because there are way less black people living in Germany than in America. Still, this to me is racist in a certain way.
I would want to point out that many Germans distinguish between different skin colors. While I learned that in America you are either a (caucasian) White, a Latino, (native) Indian, Asian or Black, in Germany you would not be considered "black" as long as your skin is not very dark. And yes, this to me is racist in a certain way, too.
I would not call Germany a place where black Americans need to expect appropriate behaviour (from whites), but once you have overcome the shock of being stared at (at times), I think you can set up some kind of a good life.
This all may sound racist in itself (apologies if it did, not intended), but I think that's what to take into consideration when visiting, or moving to, Germany.
@@ezekiel8660 Racism in Europe isn't the same as in the US. the worst you'll suffer is quite more police checks. The culture is completely different. Slavery wasn't really a thing in Europe (I mean, we heavily participated, but almost no slaves get in europe, because Church was against having slaves in it's juridiction or whatever it is called) and Western countries have seen millions of north/west African and Middle East migration after WWII so (almost) every one is used to that and countries in general thanks that migration that helped rebuilding countries.
I believe the racism is more against Chineese right know (at least here in France) and Turkish in Germany, because the first ones are known to be horrible tourists and the second one because some Turkish migrants/descendants that live in Germany say they have nothing to do with it and are Turkish and only Turkish (tell me if I am wrong, this is just how we see it here in France)

Hi Feli! Your english and german are very good, bi-lingual is awesome! I lived in Germany, well West Germany from May 1985 till May 1987. I was assigned to Ramstein Air Base near Kaiserslautern. The entire time I was there with my Air-Force friends we never had a negative encounter with a German resident. When we went off base to Landstuhl and Kaiserslautern the shop owners helped us buying items like clothes, hobby items, car parts etc. One week-end we drove about 60 kilometers to a Miami Beach styled discoteque. On the way home my VW beetle (Kafer) ran out of gas (benzine). A car full of teenagers helped us with some gasoline to get back to Ramstein. The German law says you have to help stranded motorists, but it's not like they were ordered too. They gladly helped us and were very kind to us, you don't forget stuff like that. A few months later we helped out a German that had crashed his car into highway intersection "island" His engine was still running, he was very drunk, and had minor injuries. We turned off the engine and rendered first aid to his cuts. We went to the nearest house (haus) to call for the ambulance (krankenhausauto? I think). The Polizei did arrive though and gave him a ticket or fine. We found a small farming village; Hermesberg, one week-end just driving around the country side. They had a small discoteque there called Paradies. We would go there almost every week-end. The townspeople adopted us after awhile and invited us to visit their homes during Fasching and Oktoberfest. My friends and I will be going back to Germany mid June 2024 for 18 days! As far as that other youtuber his facts and stats are misleading.
An American that classifies Germany as a dangerous country is quite ironic and hypercritical.
Germany is paradise compared to the US.

Of course there were the occasional bad ones but others were stunningly beautiful, some were even made legally and on behalf of the owners of the walls.

"Germans don't use air conditioning becuase it's way too much energy waste" as if it was a bad thing to save energy!!!!
I think we don't need ac as much because most of our houses are traditionally built of stone, not wood, so theyre much cooler than American houses
@@phoebeel Aaaand our cooling season is just way shorter than in parts of the US.
In contrast, someone I know once whined how they were freezing because the temperature dropped to 40F (5C). I found this weird, until I learned that they didn't have heating in their house, because they barely need it there.
As a European I can confirm,
I hate air-conditioning,
All it has ever done for me
Is give me a cold because of the extreme temperature differences I had to be in.
The thing with this is,
If it's too hot where you are working,
You picked the wrong spot to work.
Sure not everything is mobile,
But you don't have to sit at your desk to read a file,
Just take it into the break room,
Or outside if that doesn't work for you.
In the summer it's too hot and in the winter it's too cold,
Yet I used my heater for a whopping 7 days in the last year
And I don't own any form of cooling system.
Granted in the winter I spend most of my time in the workspace,
Where an active PC might heat things up a bit,
But surely the USA houses have those too.
I'd love to not use AC anymore. Believe me I go as long as I can everyday before turning it on, but when it's 105°F (41°C) here and we don't even have insulation in most of my home it's unbearable.
Even with AC pumping I sweat all day. Hopefully one day I'll live in a more moderate climate
@@sacroyalty I wouldn't know what that's like,
While I tend to adapt easily to what is seen here as high temperatures,
(20°C to 35°C, tho 30+ rarely lasts long)
41°C is higher than I ever experienced.
Fun fact: Shakespeare loved The German language for its ability to combine words which he sometimes used to create words in the English language bc it wasn’t „lyrical“ enough to express everything he wanted to say
I mean its pretty usefull to just combine some words into one instead of splitting it
You're right! In fact, here are some examples:
1. die Glühbirne (the light bulb) --> glühen (to glow) + die Birne (the pear)
2. der Handschuh (the glove) --> die Hand (the hand) + der Schuh (the shoe)
3. das Flugzeug (the plane) --> der Flug, fliegen (the flight, to fly) + das Zeug (the stuff, the thing)
4. Durchfall (diarrhea) --> durch (through) + der Fall (the fall)
5. der Buchrücken (the back of a book) --> das Buch (the book) + der Rücken (the back)
In that sense, German is really nice to play with in that it gives you a lot of possibilities. You can combine two words to create something entirely new, or shuffle the layout of a sentence pretty much at will and still have it make sense. I still prefer English, but I can see why people would want to learn it.

Being born american with english as a first language, I've been learning french for years and i took 2 weeks worth of german lessons. I'd say I understand german grammar better than french grammar.

It's just different lol. You open a window in summer in the Midwest when the humidity is 80% and it's 40C outside, you're NOT cooling your house, you're making it miserable.
but, what about all those mac users? :O
@@kaldogorath When its so hot, we have closed windows during the day (or partly open) and open completly during the night. The big difference is that our buildings (thick brick walls) got much more thermal capacity than typical US wooden house so it stays cool even during the day.
Nowadays when wooden houses are more and more common, the AC is becoming a thing. Of course in the office buildings made out of steel/concrere and glass, the AC is a must and is actually everywhere.
(Writing from Czechia, almost the same climate as Bavaria in south Germany)
How are windows going to help when it's 33°C outside? Lmao
@@tiedeman39 it's called cooling draught. It actually helps a lot. But also generally all our houses are way better insulated than the average house in America. It's way over 25/28°C outside for the last weeks and my house has had a stable temperature of 19/21° and it's only going to go slightly up. Well, except for the attic, but noone lives there so it's not a problem. Also what helps a lot is that almost every house has a basement. The basement is always very cool, a) because it is built into the ground so it is cooled from the surrounding soil and b) because warm air always flows to the top. So this generates a cooling draught when the air can go outside at the top. The first floor is usually very cool as well thanks to the basement and only the upper floors are hotter, but if you live in a house the effect from the cooling draught is usually more than enough to get a comfortable temperature throughout the house.

Guys, I'm from Hungary, and a lot of his points aren't really about Germany, but Europe. We too have to pay to use the public toilets (mostly in areas with lots of tourists), we close our shops in sundays (mostly smaller shops), we have high taxes, we have immigrants, we have grafiti, we have long words, we also have neo-nazis. It's not a "German-only" thing. Thank god this guy stays in the USA.
Long words is only for Germans and Hungarians .... I guess they have an unknown competition
*Clears throat*
"Hi Hungary I'm Dad."
Long words in Dutch too. Grafiti, high taxes and we too pay for the toilets. As you say, all European. On Sunday many shops are closed too in the Netherlands, but not as much as in Germany, supermarkets are open from 9:00 to 21:00.
The thing of shops closing on sundays... I think it mostly originates from the wide spread of the Christian culture with all that stuff of "resting on the seventh day" if you know what I mean.
If he didn't specifically say Germany in the beginning, all the points he made could've been about Detroit or one of a bunch of Midwestern places (mostly because of the weather)
Winters in Germany sound mild compared to Québec, Canada winters. Our winters here in Québec are very cold. In the minus' always and often in the minus 20. Snow covers the ground usually by November and only starts to leave in March. We often have huge snowstorms in March and sometimes in April, but they soon melt away. It's the storms with the enormous snowflakes and they are so beautiful. They are our last storms before spring comes.
I carefully assessed the risks and, finally, decided to stay in Germany. Of course, it’s a daily struggle not being robbed of my cash by Nazis, surviving snow storms without air condition in December, or, even worse, encountering bad graffiti that may even kill you. It has never been a country for the faint hearted like Briggs but for tough guys to which I certainly belong. Hmmmm, or maybe not? 🤔
Such bravery! Kudos from Hamburg.
marsa74, chapeau for dealing with these everyday struggles here in Germany. But looking at your list and comparing it to Mr. Briggs’ list of horrors, I have to admit that you obviously still have to master the remaining fifty percent. What about that nasty paying for using restrooms with cash money that you don’t have due to the high taxes which are explained with incredibly long german words? 🤔
Funniest comment! :D
The chances are higher getting insulted by a nationalistic turkisch grey wolf (biggest right extremist group in Germany), than being robbed by a "real" Nazi, who understands the politics of H¡tler and the NSDAP.

@@Blue_Happiness And didn't they teach you what 'Irony' means while you lived in Berlin?
-20° in winter in Germany is something of the past. Nowadays it’s rare to see snow sticking to the ground.
David Degenhardt I guess the last time that it was -20 Degrees in my home town was Feb. 2012.
But climate change is a myth!?
MB Eaglewolf That the weather is getting warmer in Germany in the past 20 years is not a proof for a global climate change either. If you just watch e.g. only Germany this could be a local short term effect. Only if you look at ALL global data for the past 2000 years you will have a scientific proof that there is a continues increase of temperature globally. There was never a time before in history where the temperature rised globally parallel except for the last 200 years. So of course the global climate change is well proofed with solid data but you need to argue correct.
@@mbeaglewolf418 🤦♀️
@Stefan St. Dude chill!
His comment wasn’t that ONLY germany is affected. But it would be very unusual for a whole country to drastically change it‘s climate for a longer period of time without any visible changes like new Mountains or stuff like that, that could interrupt the normal climate, so it‘s not that far of a thought, to assume from only Germanys data, that the rest of the World is affected too.

I have spent more than a year in Germany in total since my first trip in 1967 with the USAF. I have been visiting about 2 weeks every year since 2005. Sundays as "quiet days" is something I embrace. It was like that here in New York, when I was younger. I have lived for 78 years and still try to not do any loud work on Sundays to respect everyone's peace.
2015 in Kaiserslautern it was over 100F and while visiting my son, I purchased a portable A/C for his home since it was so unbearable.
Just returned from Oktoberfest in Muenchen for about the 12th time. Cannot wait to return. The rail and bus system is phenomenal. Prices are comparable to NY state. Weather was in the mid to upper 70s from Amsterdam south to Paris and about mid 60s in Muenchen this Sept 19-29.
I've visited in December for the Christmas Markets and there was zero snow and warmer than NY state at the time. English seems to be the second language so most Germans speak it, making my lack of German less of a hurdle. I really enjoy all your videos.
Northern Germany: You have snow?
Southern Germany: I mean, sometimes.
Und wenn da mal Schnee ist ist das so ein matschiger Schnee :(
To be honest, 20 years ago the winters in the north were much colder and we had a lot more snow... it was pretty common for the temperatures to drop down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Good ol days.. :D
Ahhh yes my wonderful northern winters up here...I mean our seasons are amazing!
Slightly chilly rain and pollen
Moderatly warm rain
More chilly rain but now theres pumpkins
Somewhat cold rain and ice slush
So diverse!!!
@Jacqueline CloosHuh, we didn't further up.
Who told you that we have snow?
I'd rather pay 50 cents than going to a nasty restroom
One time I was on a mountain in Germany, I didn't even know if there are living people, but the restroom was so clean.
I was really impressed!!!
restrooms are still pretty nasty most of the time
I remember when I was a kid (USA ) had to pay a dime to use the stall and they were nasty.
So been living in Germany all my live, I'm 15 and I wasn't everywhere in Germany alright ok great but the only times I had to pay to go to the restroom are at some gas stations in the middle of nowhere xd
@@yooghurt Hallo Army :)
I gotta disagree based on my experience (I'm 24). In my area you just gotta ask for a key to go to the toilet at a gas station. On my way to the concert in Paris we did stop at some really huge gas stations with restaurants and stuff and yes we had to pay there (between 50 cents and 1 Euro). But toilets in small regular gas stations in cities are usually free.
So a guy who apparently never visited Germany speaks about it like he is an expert on that subject. I think google makes some people overconfident.
He probably doesn't care as long as he's able to make money off of it.
MrAchilles1984 yes but his uncle was stationed there so he must be an expert anyways obviously
MrAchilles1984 the video she is commenting on is pretty much a conservative propaganda pamphlet. She did a great job of disproving it.

@@uamdbro no one said that there are no Germans with similarly uneducated opinions about US

As a foreigner in Germany I can attest, that it doesn't take 30 years to learn the german language. I was fluent in 1 year and been living here for 14 years, still alive. Still happy.
Hyperbole Darling, hyperbole.
That gives me so much joy! I just started learning German a few months ago and am going strong! I love the language so far!!
@@extofer I think the most difficult things are the grammar and the accents
Flash High the grammar has been a bit rough for sure. But I have remained motivated to keep learning and I’m not trying to overthink it. I visited Germany in January before this virus closed everything and I fell in love with the country and its language.
@@extofer yes not trying to overthink it is the best idea;)

Germany is a great country to visit and totaly safe! Last year we travelled trough the country - from right north to alps and back again. It was one of the best trips ever what we have had! So many sightseeing and rich culture! Particularly memorable was the whole of Bavaria, with its wonderful nature and old towns! Endless sights that are described on the Internet rather modestly or not at all :). The trip was extremely safe and during our entire trip we could not come across anything that threatened our family or our little children.

"Ask any german"
-i am german and i dont think so...
That's exactly what I (German) thought. I bet he only asked 1 person (if he asked someone at least).
I wanna know what German he asked because no Germans here in the comments think so 😂
If all German are Nazis- which, according to him, seems to be true- how much sense does it make, to ask a German about refugees? And how much sense does our "Refugees Welcome" scene make if all of us are Nazis? He ist just a representative of a stereotypical American. Congratulations on that, dude! I mean: there are information he could have researched easily using this thing called internet. That is not too complicated.

As an American living in Germany since 2014, I found your reaction great, and his video quite misinformed. Germany is a great place to live and to visit.
Germany reported 6,000,000+ crimes in a year so yeah I guess it is. From the looks of it a lot of petty theft. I don’t know why everyone is so upset over this..... she was extremely hostile speaking both of h their numbers were wrong go look at Germany’s official government page if you wanna get crime stats for every year...
I like how she cringes every time Briggs says
"Ask any German, _~𝓁𝒾𝓀𝑒 𝐼 𝒹𝒾𝒹~_ "
so he should have asked a rich girl?
Yeah, he never asked me 🤣🙄🙄
Well. He asked people who are against refugees - the place I live in, NOTHING changed since 2014 - its made up so dramatic in that video lol
no one asked me...
@@HojaFPS exactly. Also I'm pretty sure that those number, when a lot of refugees came in, have gone up, because those who are against those people have commited more crimes, too. But that doesn't come to the mind of any right-wing people.
I lived in Germany for two years, and have often visited there since. I have a lifelong friend I met in 1976 when we shared a cab in London! He owns a gasthaus in Nurnburg, and comes every year to the United States for a month's vacation. Mr. Briggs has given a totally incorrect version of Germany. The people are friendly and polite, it is very well administered, and there are many fun things to do. I remember the volksmarches, or hikes through the woods on the weekends. Happy, friendly people. I am glad Feli set the record straight. Danke schoen!

I lived in Germany for three years, in the small town of Blickweiler and I LOVED it there!! I didn’t want to leave! Everyone we met was extremely warm, friendly and welcoming. Nobody had air conditioning but I don’t remember ever feeling uncomfortably warm. The weather was nice and pleasant for the most part and I found the language fairly easy to learn. Of course I spoke what my German teacher referred to as “plat Deutsch” but hey, it worked for me! And the German boys were so handsome and sweet!!! I’d go back in a heartbeat to visit, I’d even love to live there again! And I just have to add I never heard of any crimes or criminal activity the entire three years I was there. Possibly because it was a small town and it may have been more common in the bigger cities, but in my experience it was very safe and a wonderful place to live!
"German taxes are high"
Rather pay 5€ for Ibuprofen and Epi-pens rather than 130$ because you think health care is socialist
@Henry Staggs except they arent, as epi pens expire and you have to replace them every few years
@Henry Staggs Germany has the highest tax combined with the lowest personal own in Europe. Taxes are a joke compared to income its complete theft
@Henry Staggs except it's still expensive as fuck
Henry Staggs It’s actually not that way. You pay the maximum tax of 45% only if you make over 250000€ annually and also for the amount that is over 250000. The rest of your tax is calculated with individual tax bracket, so you always pay way less than 45% on most of your income, at least if you’re not making like 1000000 a year. Also you can just go to the hospital and get a 300000 Dollar brain surgery for free if you need it and won’t have to sell your life.
Henry Staggs Not everyone has the money to buy 100$ medicine.
Even if it’s just once every few years.
I don’t have any money at the end of the month to safe so if I would get sick in your country I would have to die because I would be too poor to buy medicine.

In English, "man's" can signify either the contraction "man is" (as in, "that man's wearing a hat" = that man is wearing a hat) or the possessive form of man (as in, "that man's hat is on the table" = the hat belonging to the man is on the table).
Just to take it a little further (to the sentence Anon was correcting), "men" is the plural of "man." Most plural possessives in English are formed with an "s" suffix followed by an apostrophe (as in, "his sons' hats were left on the floor" = the hats belonging to his (multiple) sons were left on the floor) but in the case of irregular plurals like "man/men", the plural possessive is formed the same way as the singular possessive, so, "men's" (as in, "he went to a men's store to buy a suit" = he went to a store for men to buy a suit)

As a Norwegian I always find it hilarious when Americans complain about high tax rates. Yes, they are high but the average Norwegian (and I assume the average German) still end up with more money in the end, not to mention if they ever become sick or need an operation.
Right you are. No bankruptcy when you get sick, not to mention free education (as a German teacher I admire the Norwegian school system 👍🏼)
You are sorely mistaken if you think the average German ends up with as much money per year income wise after taxes as in the USA. Maybe Norway does though. It is true that it's not like it was in the mid 20th century though when the USA was substantially wealthier per capita than most of developed europe.

Srsly whats his problem with air conditioning? It's just a waste of energy and raises the carbon footprint extremely
no one gives a fuck about carbon footprint, germans only care for money. Otherwise the statistics would be way better.
It doesn't raise the carbon footprint extremely. If we removed AC from every home, the difference would be within margin of error. Secondly, a lot of people would die. In my US city, hundreds of people die each year when their AC stops working. Not everywhere is as temperate as Germany. In July, it gets up to 40C with 80% relative humidity. If you plug that into a heat index calculator, you'll see that it FEELS like it's 83C. That's why we don't open the windows in the summer and why we have AC. We do open the windows in spring and fall though.
@@kaldogorath You're way too overdramatic. All the African countries also don't have that much AC and it is not the heat that kills them. Also your first statement is actually wrong. Cooling uses a lot of energy. This is also the reason why you should not let your fridge open.
@@kaldogorath Dude, the US have usually buildings with very poor isolation, so obviously you need AC. Most of your homes are made of wood. In germany the buildings are way better with top isolation, that's why it's not needed. Ofc their are also good buildings in the US too, but it's not the majority. It's also a good option to make not perfect buildings, because if they get blown away every year anyway, it would cost to much money.
Yeah, I'd get why someone might hesitate to live somewhere particularly warm without it, but Germany? His last complaint was literally about how Germany has cold winters, and it didn't even occur to him that the country might not have sweltering summers?
"German winters are wild"
*laughs in confused rainy 10°C Hamburg winter*
Schleswig-Holstein: even more rain xD
@@meme-yu3zp ich hätte ja gerne mal knackigen Winter mit -15°C über 6 Wochen, ordentlich Schnee usw. usf. Aber jedes Jahr is son Selbstmord-mood Herbstwetter-Winter hier im Norden.
@@TentomushiHH vor allem gibts dann in HH im Februar immer diesen einen Tag an dems Schneit, man bekommt richtig Hoffnung und am nächsten Tag ist alles weg.
@@cyberduck7184 Ja und oftmals gibt es ja auch den totalen Umschwung, es schneit, so wie hier in Hamburg am 30.03., und 1 Wochenende später sind 20°C und du kannst an der Elbe in Tshirt spazieren.
Bei uns hat es die letzten winter auch nur einmal so geschneit. Aber natürlich im März hatte es dann auch an einem Tag in Münster geschneit. Was soll das
Narrator: "The german winter is extremly cold"
Climate change: "I'm about to end this mans whole carrer"
And whats funny is that Germany likes to be enviornmentally friendly so you know
Russian/ canadian winters left the chat
