I was born in East Germany, the former GDR. I have lived in Bavaria since 1989, about 140 kilometers from Nuremberg. But I have many friends and acquaintances spread all over the country and was in the field for 15 years, so I visited almost every region in Germany. It is precisely because of this that one notices the gradual but increasingly serious change here in the country. It really goes so far that I advise my children to leave the country after they graduate or finish their studies. USA, Canada, New Zealand...there are such beautiful places in the world. You have to work hard there too, luck doesn't just lie on the street there either, but I still think the quality of life there is better!
We once had free speech and freedom of opinion, we are suffocating in refugees, our social system is slowly collapsing, our asylum policy is a complete failure. The energy costs can hardly be borne by companies and people, company bankruptcies everywhere you look, a slow de-industrialization is taking place here. All of this led by politicians, some of whom don't even have a high school diploma. When a children's book author is placed in front of you as Minister for Economic Affairs, you know what's wrong with the country.
When I think of the "old" Germany, with its quality of life, its strong economy, the good roads, the well-kept cities... It somehow makes me sad. In addition, there is the radical thinking of the eco-parties that is pure illusion carried out at the expense of the taxpayer. I bet many who have been stationed here before and know the quiet, friendly and warm Germany...would not recognize the place.
If I were 20 years younger and had no children, I would have left here long ago. Here you can't even hang a German flag in the garden without being immediately called a Nazi. What would an American say if someone criticized him for raising a flag?
Well, the hostile attitude towards motorcyclists is no coincidence. We defend ourselves against electromobility, we don't allow ourselves to be educated like the typical German car driver was. Who already diligently buys these overpriced battery buckets. We still rave about the sound, character and fun of a petrol engine. Something that is not wanted in Germany! So??? Only one thing helps, to constantly point out to us with controls and prohibitions that we are not wanted.
