I watched some climbing videos about Reinhold Messner. Turns out his father specifically named all his children with names that couldnt be translated into Italian because they were changing all the Birth Certificates in Tyrol to Italian names. Interesting.

As it says in the post:
The song celebrates Frei.Wilds home region of South Tyrol, where the festival was taking place, a largely German-speaking enclave that was passed to Italy from Austria-Hungary after World War I.
To: Red Badger
South Tyrol should be part of Austria.

An interesting region. One minute youre ordering schnitzel in German and the next youre ordering pasta in Italian.

"He said the band was part of a patriotic German countermovement to the refugee crisis, which he believed might have been caused by a conspiracy of outsiders including Jews who hold the strings in the United States to keep Germany from being economically successful."
In the article from a fan. Very anti semitic. Is this what a lot of German's believe? I am all for 'Make Germany Great again'. We just want you to pay your fair share of NATO expense, is that too much to ask? Also, if Russia is so terrible and you need us to protect you from them, why are you chaining yourself to them with this big natural gas pipeline deal?

Conservatives have to watch out for Nazi coded sentiments. They try to walk the line but invariably step over it.

Antisemitism goes waaaaay back in Europe, past the Middle Ages. Not just in Germany.........

Yes, zactly... So Germans, don’t tell us there’s a big conspiracy of Jews in the U.S. trying to hold you all down. We’ll pull our Jewish conspiratorial troops out of Germany and put them somewhere else like a true Allie in Poland....

Germany will be too busy putting down the Muslim rebellion from within to pay much attention to what WE ARE DOING..................

I think I'd take Skynyrd, Almann Brothers, Marshall Tucker and all the other great old southern rockers. Great music without the Jewish conspiracy theories....

Most Antisemitic people have never even met a Jew.
They only parrot what they have been taught by their elders.
Antisemitism is not genetic, it is a learned behavior.................

Very similar to the Lefts hatred of Conservatives.
Most have never met one.

I think what a lot of European countries lack is a lot more federalism (which we need to restore more of as well).
Unity in our “democratically” organized multi-party modern states should be a unity in diversity and Liberty, where we are joined essentially in our right to Liberty, and so much so that we respect, and do not try to crush, diversity. We stay “united” because we share and respect the Liberty that belongs to each other.
Within that, pride in one’s identity drawn from a heritage is NOT, or need not be, a call for separation, and is consistent with respect for our diversity.
More federalism and less unitary states is what is needed.
