I had the opportunity to meet with politicians in Germany, and it was fascinating to see how often they change every two years, making it hard to establish lasting connections.

I was frustrated by Germany's stagnant approach to national security and its economic degrowth mindset, which led me to America.

Germany is incredibly pessimistic but very comfortable, which contrasts sharply with California's hyper-optimism.

In Europe, I found that most of my friends just wanted to party, while Germany decided to become dependent on cheap Russian gas.

The current political climate reflects a shift where the 60% of the population that once aligned with progressive ideals is now pivoting away from them, indicating a potential change in societal norms.

It's important for political candidates to stand up and reject ideologies that do not resonate with the majority of Americans, especially those that are popular in academic circles but not in the general public.

The dynamics of preference falsification can lead to a situation where a large percentage of a population privately disagrees with the prevailing ideology but feels unable to express that dissent publicly.

The green economy initiatives have often been misdirected, benefiting the wealthy rather than addressing climate issues effectively.

The decision to allow Germany to annex the Sudetenland without consulting Czechoslovakia sets a dangerous precedent, highlighting the failures of collective security in Europe.
