Mein Gott wos fia Arschkriacha, zum Fremdschama, fia wohr.
PS: and dear Mr. Vance, yes, you had a tough childhood, you made it to Yale, but probably you are not so familiar with European history, me always trying to learn more about American history, keeping me young, on wikipedia.
„Die Gedanken sind frei“ was a reaction in the Biedermeier period after the Restauration movement after the Congress of Vienna 1814-1815, the „Vormärz“ and 1848, when the repressive, undemocratic governments, which have been reinstalled forced their population limirating their movement for democracy and civil rights censoring them, back to their flats, singing this song, why singing and sports clubs have become quite successful in Europe, back then.
OK, and even if it is hard for you to hear, as it was for me listening to the 18 minutes of your speech out of 30 minutes assigned, democracy is in danger in the US, in Europe and around the globe and therefore we have to limit the gready „world wild west“ here in Europe where we were to slow due to hate speech and unregulated social medias from billionaires not being able to handle their powerful toys with responsibility, empathy and respect for all of us around the globe, sorry to say, take it as a man, always open for a cultivated old men chimney discussion, entering the rink, if you really ask me to do so, trying to build bridges, no matter what, as I simply care, although you left before the end of the council.
Am here for a relaxed talk, not giving in yet, as I never forgot, my family and me being liberated by the US, Great Britain, France and even a totalitarian „USSR“ back then, able to grow up in a stable strong democracy as a gay guy, us having learnt our lesson.
I hope, you too.
I am ready to discuss with you visions for a better future for all of us.
Promised.
