I don‘t get benefits from the German state mafia uninverting the population pyramid: - public health care in cities has become inaccessible because there is no availability and really bad or hazardous service. I usually have to self-pax cash to see a doctor in time - pension is a ponzi and so I haven‘t been paying into it to financially protect myself - all social welfare programs are inaccessible to me and those that exist are not geared for self employed entrepreneurs - I don‘t feel safe or at home - I‘m not part of industrialized Germany, and I have no interest to become part of it, so the prosperity increase of German industry through cheaper labour has not been visible to me Also: - The entire east is voting a nazi party bc immigrants are used to fill positions that could have been given to trained ex GDR citizens, so my country is also leaning fascist I could go on…

- Haven't you thought that austerity policies by a failing neoliberal government may have broken the public system that you relied upon? - "pension is a ponzi scheme" -- I've heard that thrown around but never seen it actually explained, I don't generally agree with it: paying for my older compatriots seems like a very good use of my money, they deserve it after a life of working. - Again, by de-funding public services, neoliberal politicians undermine the trust in the government and pave the way for the privatization of public services which, I assure you, is not something that you want (look at the US). - I'm sorry that you don't feel safe at home. - oh! You haven't benefited from a more industrialized Germany with cheaper labor? Maybe you should start reflecting on the possibility you've been lied to and that your current anger is used to fuel the racist ethno-centrist agenda of the AfD

Yeah so you too just have the „your perception is wrong“ argument. Not helping

Wrong perception, wrong analysis, wrong policies and decisions... What do you want me to say? Most of political science is striving to describe what the fuck is happening so yes it's about paradigm and perception, I don't know why you just brush it off like it's not relevant. Politics is not entirely based on facts, it's also about values and choices

Problem is I don‘t trust „the Science.“ Hopper already said that if you equate smth observable but unchangeable like „the sun is rising every morning“ with „people do X and Y because of Z,“ then political „science“ is really a misnomer because it‘s a different concept to physics where u discover static natural laws, whereas in political science you approximate a model with an expiry date
