Philipp Weber – Power to the Popel

Philipp Weber – Power to the Popel

People, rabble, or nobodies—who’s really calling the shots here?

Philipp Weber takes on democracy. Not cautiously, but with a sharp mind, brilliant wordplay, and a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor. Why are we growing weary of democracy? When does the people become the mob? And why do three-quarters of Germans actually think the other three-quarters are complete idiots?

Amid politics, civic frustration, and societal delusions of grandeur, Weber defends one of the finest democratic virtues of all: humor.

Clever, biting, and damn funny—cabaret for everyone who’d rather think for themselves than let others do the thinking.

Power to the Popel! Laugh along—it might just save democracy.
