My favourite German band! Sometimes very goofy and funny, but always with a message. „Es gibt nur einen Gott: Bela, Farin, Rod.“ PS: Similar topic -> „Schrei nach Liebe“
Die Ärzte jokingly have been calling themselves "the best band in the world" for decades. They're certainly not holding back trying to be it. I love their mix of serious songs on social and political ethics and their utterly silly fun stuff, ever since "discovering" their music in the 1980s when it became popular in my high school years. Their 1985 Album was the first music tape I bought for myself.
I found the english lyrics for the song: It's probably the most powerful idea of the galaxy, Born in Greece. It gives hope to millions, dictators fear it, The reason is not far to seek. But you won't get it as a gift, and it's never easy, It's under pressure everywhere. It's the best we have, but not yet perfect, No, far from it. It requires a lot of work, it's an eternal project. Boy, have you learned nothing? And hopefully you know it doesn't work without you, You are necessary. Always only grousing about the stupid bloody system, That's pretty comfortable. You are not part of the solution, you are the problem And, moreover, a coward! Don't be that unsportsmanlike, it doesn't work without you. That's not how it goes, it doesn't work without you. Democracy is not a football match With you just as a spectator, Its enemies mobilize everywhere. I hope you don't forget That freedom is not an app from the World Wide Web. Yes, you are essential, it doesn't work without you, Not only occasionally, it doesn't work without you. And if you're wondering how to change the world for the better, What about voting? Your cross against nazi swastika, that's how it starts, Resisting the hatred. And hopefully you know it doesn't work without you, That's not how it goes.
I kinda have a problem with calling the Hakenkreuz the „Nazi swastika“. The swastika of Buddhism is a sign of peace and harmony, it’s literally the opposite of what the Hakenkreuz stands for. Not clearly distinguishing that doesn’t seem respectful to Buddhist culture. (Btw. this is not directed at you personally, I just want to inform in general). Just like we don’t translate Nazi I think we shouldn’t translate Hakenkreuz.
@@VanOri it’s not about confusing, it’s about making sure that these two have nothing in common and that a swastika is a perfectly fine symbol while the Hakenkreuz is not
Wählen zu gehen, ist das höchste Privileg einer Demokratie. Wenn du darauf verzichtest, wirst du bald vielleicht nicht mehr wählen können. Voting is the highest privilege of a democracy. If you forego this you may soon no longer be able to vote.
@@KaiHenningsen I already live in a country with proportional representation. ;) And sure, go out and vote. But that's not enough to change anything. Be proactive, get rid of that consumer mindset.
To translate the last two sentences. "To Vote is the highest privilege in Democracy. If you refrain from doing it you might not be able to do it anymore". That is losely what it says. I'm from Germany and a huge "Die Ärzte" Fan, so I already knew this of course. I just have the favor I get the text without subtitles. I don't know if it was AI, I don't think so because they're actually in the Video and they reference a lot of their other Music Videos, some fairly old just real fans see this. The song isn't that old, but it gets more and more meaningful day by day.
The video is absolutley ai, fed with base video material of them. Lots of the clips were from older music videos by them and also lots of clips of real events and stuff. But they used AI to mask it and make it more stylistic, so they can openly critizise events and or people without getting in trouble. Its at least my guess/interpretation.
@@DaniSupreme You know, filters to make real images seem like a drawn comic book page are not actually new and work just fine without AI, and making them work on a video isn't much harder. Gimp has had this feature for a long time, and I would be astonished if Photoshop didn't, as well. Really, that part doesn't need AI. Maybe a few inserts, though those look manually generated to me (they don't completely match the style of the rest).
There is much less AI in the whole thing than it seems. In fact, in addition to real images from the news, they have "worked" on several short passages from their own music videos. I don't know how that works, but in the end the whole thing was given a "comic book" touch. But the guys, who have been making music for 42 years and recorded their first record in 1984, have always been politically/politically incorrect and socially critical. In fact, a feature film was made with them in 1984 (Richy Guitar). If you liked the video topic and the music, then I can only recommend the 20-year-old video of "Deine Schuld" (Your guilt). Have fun with it...!
Its not AI its a filter. AI would be if they used images that didnt exist before, but they take existing clips and cut them together and then apply the animation filter
@cantinadudes That's what so-called AI does (We are far away from real AI.) It takes existing images and combines them to new things. It doesn't create something totally new, or imagine fantastic things, though. It only seems this way to us, because of the sheer amount of sources. Normally those are images taken from the Internet (called 'crawling') and regardless of ownership or truthfulness. It seems like Die Ärzte gave their own footage to the "AI" to avoid this. You can see at some points in the video that letters don't make sense, which is something that "AI" can't do that well. I don't know if this is really "AI" but this seems like a giveaway.
"Die Ärzte" (=the doctors) name themselves as "Die beste Band der Welt" (=best band in the world). My personal opinion: that is completely understated! 😉
DIE ÄRZTE - DIE BESTE BAND DER WELT! I'm a fan since 1984 ... Btw... The different scenes in the video were filmcuts from other great videos from DIE ÄRZTE. So, they took scenes in this new video from 30 years ago and they still fit! That's awesome !!! Greetings from northern Germany 🇩🇪♥️
1:14 is a reference to a music video "Die Ärzte" made decades ago. The song called "Ein Waldspaziergang mit Folgen". 2:34 is a reference to their song "Junge" and the music video. For this song "Demokratie" they received a lot of backlash from their hardcore punk fans in Germany unfortunately.
0:07 The German pronunciation of the name "Die Ärzte" in English spelling would be "Dee Airt Ste" (the last "e" spoken like the "e" in "the"). The translation is "the doctors".
"Es geht nicht ohne dich" Not possible without you. Thats a point,people thing they make no different ,don't vote,ignorance politiks ...and than democracy lost 😢 Democracy dont work without democratic people. Thaks for the video didn't know the song.
I love this Band. I allways think damn this Band is as old as me. They are around since 1982 the same Year i was Born an they are still f'n Great. I am German and i don't listen so much to Music in German but die Ärtze are one of those where i can get behind and enjoy. Sry for my bad English skills :)
Die Ärzte r amaaaazing. I'm listening to them since 25 years already!!! They can do anything! Silly, funny, provocative, thought-provoking, meaningful or political songs - there're no limits!!! 😍😍😍
You need to check "Schrei nach Liebe" by "Die Ärzte" The last Scene, These two little Girls notice his tears and remove the MakeUp off the Face of the Racist is very intense. They can watch in his soul and give him peace he needs so much. Sry for my English...
@@Der.Baldur definitly,but I have to answer @horststadler. In Germany die àrzte are the biggest German band.bigger as Rammstein (in Germany).so we can say at last. Die àrzte are the best German band in the world 😜this band is so epic.they had a Titelbild in the bravo (musicmagazin) but has never written a song or recordet.they say to all people that they are a really big boyband 🤣🤣🤣
I love it. By the best band on earth (To quote Die Ärzte). And you know what? They were right. PS: Not post-apocalyptic. It is already a fact in China (this scene regarding total surveillance). It is also not created by AI, but rather essentially a COMC filter. PS2: To translate text simply put a screenshot to your favorite AI translator .
You can also ceck out "Die Toten Hosen" and, to stay in this topic, listen to "Willkommen in Deutschland", "Europa" or (and) "Pushed again". The last is an english one.
❤❤❤The "Doctors" never let you down! One of the OGs. Great video again great message as usual. You must come to Finland🎉🎉❤. I had to go to Stockholm to see you live again❤🎉
if you make reactions to german music look for enghlish translation on screen videos..its better as the youtube translation and almost every relevant german song has this version on youtube
Few more input: 1) The song (or at least the video) is not a reaction to the Trump election 2016 - this is a 2024 release 2) The video is not as much AI as it seems - the main characters are the three guys from the band with a strong filter and also a lot of the other videos seem real + filter
The message in this song is actually really straight forward: The right-wing extremists are gaining momentum and if they are in power, they will destroy democracy for good. Because these people hate the democratic system. So, go and vote. Give your vote against the right-wing extremists to protect the democracy. Oh, and he sings about NOT being a bystander but to actually participate. Since all of this will affect all of us. We have a far-right party here in Germany, too. And they are gaining power quickly.
you misunderstood the point when you said this video is about us just being spectators of politics and there is nothing we can do- the song states the exact opposite. It says that democracy is the most powerful weapon that we have but it doesn't work without us as it literatly means "rule of the people". We the people have the power and we need to use it!
Die Ärzte is a great band ❤and this is a really great song. Here is my recommandation (a political song, too): Sei wachsam by Reinhard Mey. You will NOT be disappointed!!! And I PRAY that Kamala Harris is NOT going to lose!!!! 😮
To vote for what you believe in is the most important way of self expression. Do your duty as a citizen of your country, please! Make a choice for a brighter society!
if you liked the lyrics and sound you should also listen to "die ärzte - deine schuld" imho it got a similar spirit even tho the song is a lot older. but its one of my favourite songs of all time also bc of its great lyrics
The video is a medley of sorts of their most famous music videos and performances of their career...you should really watch more of Die Ärzte, they are awesome!
How did I miss this?? Watching in Germany. Now it’s only 50 days to the election. Your first prophecy came true - Kamala Harris is running for president! The spectre of a second Trump term is still there but I am confident that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will rock this! Love from Cologne 😊
it seems to be a loveletter to all their older music videos .. dont know if you have seen more of them but you might recognise some ("schrei nach liebe" at the end or "junge" with the zombi)
you asked for a suggestion about german music video. well, i gotta name rammstein - deutschland then. pictures german history in a visually packed and interesting way and shows the struggle of the citizen to love their country. you might need alot of explainations after it, but its a must watch, specially with you learning about germany
This is better translated loosely than literally: The right to vote is the highest privilege in a democracy. If you don't vote, you may lose this right
Video might be done using AI, but it features lots of older music-videos by Die Ärzte. For me it feels like a Comic- or Graphic Novel- Version of all the videos, clips or iconic moments I've seen before.
Despite from creating awesome music, Die Ärzte have fun turning the knife in the wound. Political punk, fee from stepping back, but hitting right in the face.
Die Ärzte have been around for decades and always stayed true to their punk roots in word and song. This one is a wake-up call to remind people: If we don’t get out off our lethargic, complacent behinds, democracy may be at its end. There are specific hints to the new right-wing party in Germany, still it’s meant as a message to citizens of all nations. You can count on die Ärzte releasing important songs at crucial times - this is one reason why their fans lovingly call then ‘best band worldwide’ ☺️
You NEED to check out Electric Callboy. They're German as well and I'm pretty sure you'll love them. Try Hypa Hypa or maybe their newest collab with Babymetal called RATATATA. It will be a party, trust me :D
Most of the visuals in this video (excerpt for the stuff ripped straight from news casts, like the Trump supporters in the previous election with their attempted coup after the election and sone of the shots from demonstrations), are AI over-paintings of previous music videos by Die Ärzte. So in addition to being message about going to vote to participate in democracy it also is celebration of decades of Ärzte content (and I think with that they are trying to drive home that this has always been part of their message, because as of now there are a lot people who are into punk music who see them traitors who now support "the system").
In this vid, there are some references to older Die Ärzte songs. 2:30 is a reference to their song "Junge" with lots of Zombies in the video. The song is a parent's complain, that their kid is useless. th-cam.com/video/HpOt9DQh8AA/w-d-xo.html 6:36 Is refering to their 90s Hit "Schrei nach Liebe", a great anti-racist song. th-cam.com/video/6X9CEi8wkBc/w-d-xo.html Edit: All time stamps are refering to your upload.
The video was released weeks before the europian elections this year and an interview to accompany it bears the striking sentence: We act politically as a band because neutrality is not an option these days The most part is just a Comic Filter and no AI. There are some images that may pass without really noticing, that weigh heavy on my mind. Like the Bull Head Protestant from the assault on the capitol (Changed to female) sitting in the ovale office and acting triumphant while she gets photographed. They reference a lot of their critical songs either by lyric or by images (e.g. the black child interacting with the guy with white facepaint and a black cross is from ther infamous "Schrei nach Liebe" another song against Nazis) Awesome. Flew beneath my radar, but definitely is now on my play list
The video is a mix of the topics they're singing about and bits of their older videos/gigs, it looks like AI generated but I would guess it's just a filter to make it seem so (as AI is definitely a problem/threat for democracy).
Hello Dwayne, usually I'm a bit skeptic giving my optimism a hard time. But watching when and how Biden stepped back from his candidacy and how quickly he endorsed Kamala Harris, and how quickly the mood within and around the Democratic Party was changing I'm much more hopeful now that we'll be spared another four years of Trump being president of the USA. And I don't even bother about the possible effects of Trump on Europe. Just look at what the Republicans are planning to do according to their program "Project 2025": it's absolutely vital for the people of the USA to make sure that the Republicans won't be given any chance to realise their plans. About "Die Ärzte" (pronounced something like dee aertstae): they started their career about a year before I left school in the mid 1980ies. They were always a bit political and quite outspoken on a couple of issues. That video reminded my strongly of the mood and political climate of the 1980ies - great to see that transferred so aptly to our present time with that video.
Die Ärzte don't do a lot of straight forward political commentary, but when they do they do it perfectly... Love them. Also: Sokrates as one of the old Greeks wasn't a fan of democracy for one rather simple reason... Voting on a matter demands knowledge about the matter...not everybody is suited to vote on everything.
If you still need German songs to react to: Alles wird gut - Toten Hosen Adriano (letzte Warnung) - Brothers Keepers (Kollabo of some Rap artists) Kopfsteinpflaster - RAG

What do mean by "trying to be"? They most certainly are! 😂😂😂
This song should go viral because those are the lyrics we need right now
I found the english lyrics for the song:
It's probably the most powerful idea of the galaxy,
Born in Greece.
It gives hope to millions, dictators fear it,
The reason is not far to seek.
But you won't get it as a gift, and it's never easy,
It's under pressure everywhere.
It's the best we have, but not yet perfect,
No, far from it.
It requires a lot of work, it's an eternal project.
Boy, have you learned nothing?
And hopefully you know it doesn't work without you,
You are necessary.
Always only grousing about the stupid bloody system,
That's pretty comfortable.
You are not part of the solution, you are the problem
And, moreover, a coward!
Don't be that unsportsmanlike, it doesn't work without you.
That's not how it goes, it doesn't work without you.
Democracy is not a football match
With you just as a spectator,
Its enemies mobilize everywhere.
I hope you don't forget
That freedom is not an app from the World Wide Web.
Yes, you are essential, it doesn't work without you,
Not only occasionally, it doesn't work without you.
And if you're wondering how to change the world for the better,
What about voting?
Your cross against nazi swastika, that's how it starts,
Resisting the hatred.
And hopefully you know it doesn't work without you,
That's not how it goes.

German Fun Punk Legends
"Die Ärzte" (The Doctors)
They had their first hits in the 80s.
German epic icons.
Also one of the few bands that didn't become assholes. Really like them, although i somewhat outgrew them musically.
I'm sooo fascinated by your positivity related to german music - thanks man, discovered your channel today and love your reactions videos!
"Die Ärzte" (=the doctors) name themselves as "Die beste Band der Welt" (=best band in the world). My personal opinion: that is completely understated! 😉
Die Ärzte are phantastic, i listen to them for decades now ;)
by trhe way the lyrics never say we fucked up and its all lost, it says its lost if you dont care. Its a wake up call to all of us.
The topic is not social issues it is Democracy
You can't separate the two.
DIE ÄRZTE - DIE BESTE BAND DER WELT!
I'm a fan since 1984 ...

The song feels much to tame for me, given what's happening in the world, in Europe, in Germany and Austria.
Agreed, but the message is point on nonetheless
Watch "Arschloch" from Die Ärzte. They are a solid Punk Rock Band from Germany. More Mainstream nowerdays but the older Songs are much better.
That is a wonderful rabbit hole to go down in. Try Schrei Nach Liebe.
This song is referring to the situation in Germany. You have to vote for democracy against the right extremists to protect our freedom.
Love them!
Seems you picked up some of my favourits!❤
Thank you✌
I love it. By the best band on earth (To quote Die Ärzte). And you know what? They were right.
PS: Not post-apocalyptic. It is already a fact in China (this scene regarding total surveillance). It is also not created by AI, but rather essentially a COMC filter.

ah yes die aerzte awesome band. I can reccoment "deine Schuld" +10 years old even more relevant today.
They hold a world record:
The shortest serious ment music video ever, called "Yoko Ono". Just watch.
you need to watch "es ist nicht deine Schuld" and "Schrei nach liebe" from the same band.
For visual context: A lot of the clips origin in older music videos from that band.
Das ist die Realität!😢
You can also ceck out "Die Toten Hosen" and, to stay in this topic, listen to "Willkommen in Deutschland", "Europa" or (and) "Pushed again". The last is an english one.
I was about to mention "Pushed Again" (< live version).
Deine schuld, schrei nach liebe are also great and of course Junge 🤘
❤❤❤The "Doctors" never let you down! One of the OGs. Great video again great message as usual. You must come to Finland🎉🎉❤. I had to go to Stockholm to see you live again❤🎉

You're an amazing guy!! THANKS for your Videos ❤
Kamala is not going to loose :)
It is AI but based on reality - like a filter. The singers are clearly recognizable by their faces, so it is not entirely random generated.
And that are all scenes from music Videos, or live shows. With a few little twists
Aside from the theme, the video is a pretty cool mix of real life news footage, popculture references and the band's old music videos ^^
Parts of the video are scenes of former music videos by them.
it's always shocking to me that people in the US can only "vote" between two candidates and still call that democracy.
As far as I understand it, they have more parties in the States and people can vote for them. They just don’t have much chances.
One step away from a one party "democracy", and not by much.
Few more input:
1) The song (or at least the video) is not a reaction to the Trump election 2016 - this is a 2024 release
2) The video is not as much AI as it seems - the main characters are the three guys from the band with a strong filter and also a lot of the other videos seem real + filter
The video is AI.
Zu 1) ist kein 2024 Song. Ist ein 2021 Song der 2024 Re-Released wurde wegen der EU Wahl
The message in this song is actually really straight forward:
The right-wing extremists are gaining momentum and if they are in power, they will destroy democracy for good. Because these people hate the democratic system. So, go and vote. Give your vote against the right-wing extremists to protect the democracy.
Oh, and he sings about NOT being a bystander but to actually participate. Since all of this will affect all of us.
We have a far-right party here in Germany, too. And they are gaining power quickly.
Its one of th e famous bands in Germany. I hear thema since 35years
you misunderstood the point when you said this video is about us just being spectators of politics and there is nothing we can do- the song states the exact opposite. It says that democracy is the most powerful weapon that we have but it doesn't work without us as it literatly means "rule of the people". We the people have the power and we need to use it!
Die Ärzte is a great band ❤and this is a really great song. Here is my recommandation (a political song, too): Sei wachsam by Reinhard Mey. You will NOT be disappointed!!!
And I PRAY that Kamala Harris is NOT going to lose!!!! 😮
die Ärzte die Beste Band der Welt
To vote for what you believe in is the most important way of self expression. Do your duty as a citizen of your country, please! Make a choice for a brighter society!
I just realised how wild the video has to be for someone who didn't follow Die Ärzte for quite some time... ^^'
if you liked the lyrics and sound you should also listen to "die ärzte - deine schuld" imho it got a similar spirit even tho the song is a lot older. but its one of my favourite songs of all time also bc of its great lyrics
"If you want(ed) Keir Starmer in 10 Downing Street - then you have / had to vote for him" ... ;-)
The video is a medley of sorts of their most famous music videos and performances of their career...you should really watch more of Die Ärzte, they are awesome!
How did I miss this?? Watching in Germany. Now it’s only 50 days to the election. Your first prophecy came true - Kamala Harris is running for president! The spectre of a second Trump term is still there but I am confident that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will rock this! Love from Cologne 😊
For me the best son is 'Westerland', same band
Welcome to the most german pop punk :D
it seems to be a loveletter to all their older music videos .. dont know if you have seen more of them but you might recognise some ("schrei nach liebe" at the end or "junge" with the zombi)
you asked for a suggestion about german music video. well, i gotta name rammstein - deutschland then. pictures german history in a visually packed and interesting way and shows the struggle of the citizen to love their country. you might need alot of explainations after it, but its a must watch, specially with you learning about germany
This needs to be followed up by Farin Urlaub - Lieber Staat...
Hey your First conact with the Ärzte? They exists since Abort 40 years their Songs are a fine pice of german Music often politic and often diferent
@dwayne‘s lens take for the next time „die Ärzte - Schrei nach Liebe“. This is one of the greatest song ever
This is better translated loosely than literally:
The right to vote is the highest privilege in a democracy.
If you don't vote, you may lose this right
Video might be done using AI, but it features lots of older music-videos by Die Ärzte. For me it feels like a Comic- or Graphic Novel- Version of all the videos, clips or iconic moments I've seen before.
That Video isn't AI Generated :)
(Parts of it only)
nope, fully AI generated, many parts of it are just the AI remaking old Die Ärzte videos.
#AndreasDorauDemokratie ... also veeeeeeeeery nice
@Dwayne Check out from Toten Hosen "Pushed Again"
I think one of the issues of the video is that it's wrapping up the music video history of the band. So some clips seem a bit random to non fans
u got it just right in the end. This was excatly what the text meant
Despite from creating awesome music, Die Ärzte have fun turning the knife in the wound. Political punk, fee from stepping back, but hitting right in the face.
Die Ärzte have been around for decades and always stayed true to their punk roots in word and song. This one is a wake-up call to remind people: If we don’t get out off our lethargic, complacent behinds, democracy may be at its end. There are specific hints to the new right-wing party in Germany, still it’s meant as a message to citizens of all nations. You can count on die Ärzte releasing important songs at crucial times - this is one reason why their fans lovingly call then ‘best band worldwide’ ☺️
You NEED to check out Electric Callboy. They're German as well and I'm pretty sure you'll love them. Try Hypa Hypa or maybe their newest collab with Babymetal called RATATATA. It will be a party, trust me :D
Most of the visuals in this video (excerpt for the stuff ripped straight from news casts, like the Trump supporters in the previous election with their attempted coup after the election and sone of the shots from demonstrations), are AI over-paintings of previous music videos by Die Ärzte. So in addition to being message about going to vote to participate in democracy it also is celebration of decades of Ärzte content (and I think with that they are trying to drive home that this has always been part of their message, because as of now there are a lot people who are into punk music who see them traitors who now support "the system").
Thx for watching
Many of this Clips actually are from real Life Clips
It says use your right to vote, otherwise you might never vote again 😊.
Its not AI generated, its an real video of the real artists with an art (comic effect) filter.
In this vid, there are some references to older Die Ärzte songs. 2:30 is a reference to their song "Junge" with lots of Zombies in the video. The song is a parent's complain, that their kid is useless. th-cam.com/video/HpOt9DQh8AA/w-d-xo.html
6:36 Is refering to their 90s Hit "Schrei nach Liebe", a great anti-racist song. th-cam.com/video/6X9CEi8wkBc/w-d-xo.html
Edit: All time stamps are refering to your upload.
From the future I can tell you. Wait for the first debate.
youi have to react to Junge - die Ärtze
The video was released weeks before the europian elections this year and an interview to accompany it bears the striking sentence:
We act politically as a band because neutrality is not an option these days
The most part is just a Comic Filter and no AI.
There are some images that may pass without really noticing, that weigh heavy on my mind.
Like the Bull Head Protestant from the assault on the capitol (Changed to female) sitting in the ovale office and acting triumphant while she gets photographed.
They reference a lot of their critical songs either by lyric or by images (e.g. the black child interacting with the guy with white facepaint and a black cross is from ther
infamous "Schrei nach Liebe" another song against Nazis)
Awesome. Flew beneath my radar, but definitely is now on my play list
The video is a mix of the topics they're singing about and bits of their older videos/gigs, it looks like AI generated but I would guess it's just a filter to make it seem so (as AI is definitely a problem/threat for democracy).
Hello Dwayne,
usually I'm a bit skeptic giving my optimism a hard time. But watching when and how Biden stepped back from his candidacy and how quickly he endorsed Kamala Harris, and how quickly the mood within and around the Democratic Party was changing I'm much more hopeful now that we'll be spared another four years of Trump being president of the USA.
And I don't even bother about the possible effects of Trump on Europe. Just look at what the Republicans are planning to do according to their program "Project 2025": it's absolutely vital for the people of the USA to make sure that the Republicans won't be given any chance to realise their plans.
About "Die Ärzte" (pronounced something like dee aertstae): they started their career about a year before I left school in the mid 1980ies. They were always a bit political and quite outspoken on a couple of issues. That video reminded my strongly of the mood and political climate of the 1980ies - great to see that transferred so aptly to our present time with that video.
There is only one God: BelaFarinRod
Die Ärzte don't do a lot of straight forward political commentary, but when they do they do it perfectly... Love them.
Also: Sokrates as one of the old Greeks wasn't a fan of democracy for one rather simple reason... Voting on a matter demands knowledge about the matter...not everybody is suited to vote on everything.
We
Can
do
FFS go vote
If you still need German songs to react to:
Alles wird gut - Toten Hosen
Adriano (letzte Warnung) - Brothers Keepers (Kollabo of some Rap artists)
Kopfsteinpflaster - RAG
thats not post apocalyptic stuff, thats reality,evil^^
The band die ärzte have always been very political since many years.
