A Guide to German Politics & Parties in 2021 | Full DFE Live with @Three Arrows

This livestream is an intro into German politics and, especially, an overview of the parties that are currently relevant for our national discourse and situation. Germany elected a new national government in September of this year, changing the parties - and driving ideological forces - in power for the first time in 16 years after the Merkel era. My guest @Three Arrows and I are here to shed light on some of the things that make it so difficult to understand the political situation in a foreign country. If you are currently an expat in Germany or planning to move here in the future, this will help you understand a lot of the conversation about political and societal issues. This is also why this stream is in English, so as many people as possible can access it without issue.

Make sure to check out Dan's videos on current political discourse over on his channel and listen to his fantastic podcast that unravels the complicated history of the period after WWI leading up to the rise of the NSDAP, aka the "Nazi party"in 1933 and the Second World War! Studying history is a fundamental ingredient to forming informed opinions about the current state of the world. :)

Please keep conversations civil and measured in the comments!
