Bielefeld

Ich glaube, wir dürfen alle unsere und, und, und unser Herz einfach nicht verlieren bei all dem, was wir machen.

Ich weiß auf einer, war das in Bielefeld? Ich glaube, auf, auf einem Vortrag in Bielefeld hat eine Person die Frage gestellt, wie denn die Person, weil wir sind ja alle irgendwie in seiner Wahrnehmung Konkurrenten in dem System, wie kann man denn eigentlich Wertschätzung oder wertschätzend sein für seine Konkurrenten im Team? Und ich fand die Frage ein bisschen abstrus, weil, äh, ich würde sagen, Wertschätzung ist immer angebracht, egal wer da vor mir sitzt.

Also völlig egal, ob's mein Chef ist oder ob's wirklich die Person ist, mit der ich direkt in, in, in einem Konkurrenzsystem bin.

Ähm, deswegen würde ich da sagen, wenn wir alle sehr wertschätzend miteinander sind und wir uns alle sehen in unserer Einzigartigkeit und wir uns wahrnehmen oder wir uns vor allen Dingen, also dat, dass wir einander schätzen mit all unseren Leistungen, die wir einbringen, dann wird, glaube ich, ein anderes Leistungsverständnis deutlich im Wissenschaftssystem.

Look past the official road signs along the Bundesautobahn, too, and ask the only question that matters.

Who's underwriting the illusion? The official state doctrine demands you accept that Bielefeld is a thriving German hub of 340,000, home to a world-class university, bustling transit lines, and assigned postal codes.

Yet, whistleblowers know the truth behind the curtain.

The so-called Bielefeld conspiracy supposedly spawned in 1994 as internet satire.

It operates as an insidious psychological containment operation run by them and and lockstep with Western intelligence syndicates.

Every map, university transcript, and highway detour serves as an engineered Potomkin village designed to test whether the public can be forced to accept a coordinates ledger over a physical geography.

When the state provides every receipt, highway sign, and street address to validate a location, nobody can independently confirm without encountering their apparatus.

The conclusion is self-evident.

yeah um anyway yeah last season one complaint was that the team doesn't have like a base level they would perform it like uh it was one we lost we probably did but it was just very very low that's all yeah no no but we we lost to Paderborn And then Leidl was like, oh, it's never going to happen again.

And then we walk into this shit show in Bielefeld.

Joel is groaning.

Bielefeld was brutal.

Like, literally, we were cheering, the way section, cheering the Bielefeld goals.

by the end of it.

Nico, I think, said that he loved the animation so much, the Bielefeld goal animation on the Jumbotron or on the video screen.

He loved it so much that they gave us the courtesy of showing it to us six times.

... what part of Germany were you born in?

Um, small town called Detmold in, like, North Rhine-Westphalia, so it's the northwest sort of close to the Dutch border between, like, Bielefeld and Dortmund, Hanover.

Like, if you made a triangle of those three cities, it's roughly in the middle there.

Um-

Because it opens up a massive debate about corporate responsibility.

The context is that HOT fans had previously exhibited discriminatory behavior toward MCH Bielefeld.

And the core of the debate is really about where a club's accountability ends.

Exactly.

But despite the camera issues, the matches themselves really delivered.

Oh, they definitely did.

Panthers Koln versus MCH Bielefeld ended 3-4 for Bielefeld.

And this match was a classic case study of individual brilliance shattering a homogenous team structure.

And where is home in Germany? Anywhere near Cologne? Not too far off, like about one and a half, two hours off Cologne.

So near Bielefeld, if anyone knows that.

Between Hanover and Münster.

Yeah, cool.

My first interrailing in the 80s was to Cologne, mostly.

I went to see the Arsenal in Bielefeld in the 80s.

And I moved to Germany to live and work in the 90s.

So there's always been this bond with Germany going back basically all my life.

And next week, I've got a 10-day trip booked up for East Germany for the first time.

I went a couple of years ago for the final.

The final between Bielefeld and Stuttgart in Bielefeld.

I was in Berlin, sorry, but I saw absolutely nothing in the city.

Absolutely.

You know, I was excited for every single one of them, no matter what, you know, like even, even the fucking pump show in Bielefeld there.

True,

that was your last match, oh man.

train that was

1-0 I don't care 100 points were possible after that win

I was annoyed that Nurnberg was playing Bielefeld the following day because I was like,

God damn it.
