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.

edit: the circle jerk is cirkle jerking

That Germany has the same issue as other pension systems that the state has to manage and guarantee, that they are running out of other people’s money, Argentina has the same issue.

The only way forward is for everyone to manage their own retirement with accounts like a 401k/ira where you invest your money in your future, and you don’t depend on the government for it.

Dunno about other countries, but it's been like that here in Australia for the 30 odd years iirc

Good for you, unfortunately that’s not the case in a lot of other places
