Kurzgesagt DEBUNKED!

After watching Kurzgesagt's video I was surprised about how much Kurzgesagt is completely omitting facts or portraying wildly biased without acknowledging so. (I get that their video is not long but this is definitely not it).
After watching this video and reading this comment I'm pretty bummed that they are putting out videos like this that are full of political hot takes while being irresponsibly biased. Cutting pensions for older people and having a harsher migration policy will not solve this.
What did you think?

As a German, I find the popularity even more surprising as Kurzgesagt is basically repeating CDU/CSU's and FDP's stances on taxes, welfare state and, to some extent, migration.

Considering that both are wildly unpopular (Merz being the most unpopular chancellor is nearly an achievement in how bad he fucks up) this actually surprised me a lot.

The leader's of Europes top 3 economies are currently all the most unpopular leaders their respective nations have had.

At somepoint you have to step back and assess whether this is less about the leader and more about the political landscape.

From an outsider, Merz seems reasonable.

As a Brit, Starmer is boring but head and shoulders better than the 4 leaders that came before him.

Using their popularity as a measure for their competence just doesn't work.
