Julius Kern, a man of strong convictions and unapologetic demeanor, has shared a candid reflection on his unconventional approach to human interaction. According to Kern, when he chooses to express himself loudly and passionately, he implores others not to take immediate offense. He suggests that any perceived criticism or verbal jabs are, in fact, a manifestation of his deep affection and concern for those around him.

In a refreshingly honest admission, Kern attributes his sometimes-intemperate behavior to his Austrian heritage, which he humorously describes as a source of "insanity, hysteria, hypocrisy, and undemocratic tendencies." By acknowledging and embracing these perceived flaws, Kern invites others to look beyond the surface level of his words and actions, seeking to understand the underlying motivations that drive his behavior.

This remarkable perspective offers a glimpse into the complex and multifaceted personality of Julius Kern, a man who is unapologetically himself, even when that means being provocative and unorthodox.
