What are your thoughts on this (from what I know Germans these days are generally Pacifists so I am curious what you guys would think of this and it’s prospects)

  2. Germany: actively invites & accepts more refugees than other European nations.
    Random YouTube dude: Germany has no empathy for other countries.

  3. So, while whatifaltist is often entertaining to watch to see him ramble away and you asked:

    All the problems I find here the first time watching:

    1. Graphic with the self-labeled european heartland: Austria is not the european center, Ireland does not really fit with the nordics as “rich”, they are way more friendly to companies taxwise, but through european double tax schemes they are kinda draining their countries already measly tax income.
    2. The Slide with German Foreign Policy Inflexibility: C’mon. That one needs to be a joke, no? Nr. 3 doesnt fit in there at all. Nr.5 is just a plain right-wing dog whistle. Nr.4 isnt really foreign policy. And Nr. 1 is debatable – although has nothing to do with inflexibility.
    3. Europe can’t be a real unified market without daddy us looking over our backs? Lmao. You guys really think the Federal Reserve singlehandedly saved the european economy in the financial crisis?
    4. The European countries cannot print money by themselves.
    5. The influence in a post eu order is hilarious af, too. That whole part about french and german influence needs and wants misses all proceedings of the last decades.
    6. And yeah. At that point I just stopped listening. The vid is hilariously american-centric and neoliberal for a video focused on germany.

  5. One minute in and he’s fallen for that scam where people take your money and tell you that you now you’re a Scottish laird.

    And, for the avoidance of doubt: No, you cannot put your fake title on your plane tickets or credit cards. The only title you could legitimately buy was a Scottish feudal barony, but not through some company selling you a “square foot of land” — and that’s moot anyway, because in 2004 a law was passed and now the titles are no longer attached to the land. If you want to then put your title on your passport, you have to apply for it and provide proof that your barony is recognized by the Right Honourable the Lord Lyon King of Arms — which he won’t, because he explicitly stated a few years ago that titles bought online have no legal status, and owning a souvenir plot of land isn’t enough for title — or recorded in *Burke’s Peerage* — which it won’t be, because it only records baronies that actually exist.

    So no, this guy is not Lord of Whatifalthist. And he’s put an affiliate link in his video description so he needs to declare his video as containing a paid sponsorship, which he hasn’t.

    Anyway, all that is off topic… but just a heads up: don’t fall for this scam. Because it is a scam.
