Comments by "King Ace" (@kingace6186) on "The Rise Of Angela Merkel" video.

I know in recent years Angela Merkel's reputation has been soured by the Nord Stream deals, but even besides that, she has done so much more for Germany and Europe as a whole. Specifically about the Migrant Crises: Once, again, Germany didn't just do the right thing, but it showcased the all too ignored European Xenophobia. Up until 2015, we knew border security was not always ethical but the crisis worsened the dormant social issues. Today, without a shadow of a doubt, the Frontex, Europe's border force, has been proven to have committed several human rights violations and the Refugee Geneva Convention by several international organizations, including the UN Human Rights Watch & OHCHR.

Specifically about the Financials Crises: Honestly, a major reason why Greeks reacted that way to Merkel's orthodox economic policies is because Greek citizens have very low trust in their government and institutions. In general, Greeks are more family-oriented than state-oriented, but this modern distrust stems from the Nazi Occupation of Greece and the oppression they brought. (The YouTuber, Kraut, made a great video on this.) That's why her common conditions for the German loans were seen as foreign imperialism and why they opposed the Greek government's implementation of her conditions. Edit: I rewatch the Kraut video and noticed I left out many details. Most important is the fact that Greece's Low Trust Society stemmed from Ottoman rule. And after, during the independence from the Turks, the people were aided by foreign powers that then put a German Bavarian Prince to a new Greek Monarchy (and we all know how that ended). Scores later, the Nazi Occupation worsened the Low Trust Society.
