Instructive scene from the classic 1953 WWII movie, Stalag 17. Anti-bullying 101:

https://youtu.be/iA93nO00b_4

“Six-hundred funny men”

They want us cowering in fear, isolated, looking out for our own necks. Which means we must do the opposite. Like how gazelle herds survive crossing rivers with lions and alligators lurking. Alone they are weak. Together they are strong. Everybody should declare "I am a right wing extremist." A montage video of grandmothers, children, multi-ethnics, corporate, laborer, a montage that is impossible to look like the face of anti-democratic hate. "Six-hundred funny people." That's how freedom prevails.

There's safety in numbers. Hiding away to protect oneself allows a pack of hungry predators to devour the prey, growing more and more voracious. Until there are no more prey left, picked off while on their solo fearful journeys, weak, cowering, until they meet their demise they only delayed by trying to hide. Own it. Like many own "deplorables" in the US. Turn it into a positive.

So true. But we can't count on everyone doing, so we need a strategy to fight this even if we're on our own.

They got us to shut up about our politics in the past because they shamed us, they got us to shut up with the corona, the lockdowns, and the vax because they made us afraid of being mocked and cancelled. And now that we're so on to them for both of these schemes, they want to destroy us completely. We need a really good strategy.

Hi Ryan, I agree. I’m not even sure what ALL of it means yet. Or maybe I question what it doesn’t mean? IT MEANS EVERYTHING RIGHT?!! Oh man were you right about the book you recommended, “ Behind The Green Mask” by Rosa Koire. You told me about it, I think? That was a few years ago. It’s in full swing here in the N.W., most cities, Lahaina! 🙈 Most have no idea. I’m working to spread the truth,… about everything. I love Substack & have learned so much in 4 years. And from smart readers like you. Any doubt in humanity has been eased by the words I read here.

We are strong people & our faith in God is even stronger.

Esther 4:14

“ Perhaps you were created for a time such as this. “

In Wa. state, our Board of Health voted & changed wording to make previous HIV quarantine camps, into pandemic camps. A

“ pandemic”, much like the fake Covid virus, is anything “ they” determine it to be. They have elaborated on this even more. Make sure and read “ non- compliance”. That’s where I’ll be. 😂 No fear, Do not Comply.

Indeed. That particular hatred of the immigrants just happens to have its own sordid history here in Europe. The gay killing and the wife beating are more distant and alien, so they aren't getting the coverage. And you will note the observation adult Pakistani men having sex with young girls has been reduced to "grooming gangs" and considered all but acceptable. They don't dwell on the realities of it.

And yet we still get the Queers for Palestine, RadFems for Undocumented Third World Men with no wives and a quite different view of the fairer sex. I mean, what do you do with them? Surely we have to let reality bite so they get the message.

How do we fix this? There are peaceful solutions.

We need to fix our systems. We need a trustworthy place to go and debate, problem solve, and error correct. These systems of government and 3 letter agencies are all captured.

Our systems are corrupted. We need to build new ones. Transparent ones. Decentralized ones. Trustworthy ones. Like this:

Unfortunately, it's not possible to build a political system free from corruption, especially if your society is corrupt. Corruption always finds a way. Fiddling with the dials on the machine is fruitless.

The only way to have a reasonably clean State is to get rid of it. Even then, a mostly homogeneous society with strong morality is your only chance to live free.

Expand full comment

People overlook the homogeneous part all too readily. Only Western nations have opened up and attempted to cope with many cultures. At some level it must be understood it will fail given the label, multiculturalism. Multiple cultures in one place always means violence.

And yet I see no awareness of this basic historical observation. Even when ethnic mafias are seen to take over councils people seem oblivious.

Fascinating idea that multiculturalism is incompatible with democracy. What do we do about immigration?

Adopt the culture or don't come. It's not about color of the person. Immigration needs to be controlled.

Immigration and migration is not the same .

We stop it, we deport illegals immediately. Withdraw all welfare for immigrants. End financial support for legal aid to asylum seekers; that is for natives, not foreigners. Get a list of those being funded from overseas who are working to promote open borders and try them for treason.

Once that is done you make an announcement. This is Country X. Here is how we do things here. If you cannot assimilate within two to three generations, we will repatriate you.

That is how you do it. Withdrawing welfare alone will change the game. The immigrants themselves tell us this.

It seems that politics attracts the easily (not to say, enthusiastically) corrupted. The ratio of people who leave politics substantially richer than when they entered to those who don't must be 100's to 1, 1000's even. Donald Trump is probably one of those rare beasts who came out poorer.

Expand full comment

Breath-takingly uninformed last sentence! President Trump seemed not to understand, let alone observe the principle of "blind trust" when it came to overseeing the operation of his holdings, even as he held the highest office in the land. He also never seemed to miss an opportunity to pad his companies' bottom lines, especially in the course of dealing with foreign nations, who seemed only too happy to play along by almost exclusively booking the services of the Trump hospitality operations. Making a buck was always Number One to Mr. Trump and he apparently saw no need to curtail that impulse when he became President of the United States.

The problem is not the system(s). The problem is the people. Every group of individuals gets the leader they deserve. The more authentic/aware/critical thinking etcetera those individuals each are, the less powerfull their leader is. Without sheepy people, selfish people no leader is necessary.

And please consider this before thinking an unequality in power is possible to fix anyway.

'Something that is not broken, cannot be fixed' they say

And, if it should be possible to fix, why would we, starting profoundly overthinking the theoretical concept of a society without presence of sheepy-, sellfish-, greedy-, mentally unhealthy people, in which, in my opinion, 'leaders' actually would not even exist at all.

I am not a German citizen but I recognise the signs here well enough. I have lived through a 50 year long period watching how 'progressively' every public and private part our culture has been captured by a virtually unchallengeable 'social justice’ clerisy.

The grim truth is that our post-war democratic pluralism is now just a farce. It has made problems for itself to which it has no credible solution. And so we must wait for some new political arrangements to emerge - whatever these may be.

Across western democracies, as the individual gained power (via the internet) to expose the "emperor's new clothes," and the ethical foundations of elite institutions collapse, the overriding concern becomes CONTROL.

There's nothing like a bogeyman & fostering fear and division to maintain CONTROL (if one's 'subjects' are conditioned to not think for themselves).

Ever since Covid, the (western) world seems one big franchise (remember all those „Covid expert panels“, who were all modeled identically?). You can see it in a myriad little things, for example how after the obviously stolen election in the U.S. there were suddenly many irregularities in the Berlin election (which now has to be repeated, partially, because of those irregularities).

Does our ability to mythologize hold us back or is it the key to greater awareness?

I think it’s our ability to self medicate. That also could lead to “ greater awareness”, but maybe more of the depressing kind. Or our addiction to gadgets & constant entertainment. We are looking to numb the reality we face. Not everyone, obviously, but a good majority. It still won’t make taking our guns away easy.

hey, correct me if I'm wrong, but NO MSM accusation that Trump is a so-called "anti-vaxxxer".... why?....

Expand full comment

Because he has never actually come out against it, as far as I know. I suspect he knows now that this issue might be his "third rail," which is why he has quit bringing it up. But one problem Trump has is that he will never admit he is wrong about anything, or that perhaps he made a mistake.

So he's finally graduated to being a 'proper' politician then?

Expand full comment

Or perhaps as long as he doesn't admit it the Biden loving Democrats will still keep having the vaxxes. I did try and persuade some otherwise but they won't listen, they keep on being jabbed.

Expand full comment

His claim that he “ saved millions” by getting the vax out fast may refer to quarantine camps that were set up to hold Covid “ positive” citizens. We may never know the truth about this. But, Wa. state has this and I know New York did too. Probably lots of states. Check out your Department of Health websites, & look under infectious disease control. A lot more businesses would have failed, obviously, if people were forced to quarantine, etc. This is a real thing, and still could happen. I had no idea the Department of Health. of Health had that power. ( even to utilize police & national guard, to force compliance) Do not comply.

Trump has demonstrated, on so many occasions, that his M.O. is squeezing as much as he can for himself out of the system, i.e.: the rest of us, and screaming like hell about how unfair it is, when the system pushes him back. The buck doesn't stop with him, except for those that he accumulates at every opportunity possible, legitimate or otherwise. Don't ever, without fail to your cost, mistake him for a public figure who'll ever take responsibility for anything, except perhaps for the fantasies created in his own imagination.

Charismatic proxy politicians won't work. Rest assured, those types will tell you, "I'm right there with you!", but always end up diverted by their own personal interests. Rare is the politician, who stands up and hews to the real work of protecting the regular people. Look at Jim Jordan, who shows up for work in shirtsleeves and roars his defiance at the establishment. When the kids he coached needed his voice to stop the abuses they endured, he was nowhere to be seen. Or heard.

There's no substitute for people showing up; battles don't get battled, if nobody wants to show up. I have never been all that great at "showing up", but we (and I!) have no right to complain how bad things are being done to us, by the people we elected to government, and even some not elected, if we aren't out there, making them get to hate hearing the sound of all our voices.

I wish JFK Jr. well in his campaign for president, but he doesn't understand that the best way to help individual Americans is to leave them alone.

Expand full comment

Agreed, but this is the perfect election for the US to find out if a third-party candidate could possibly be elected. Both the Dem and Rep. candidates are so awful. Neither party was willing or able to support something tolerable. Thus, a third option is necessary.

Unfortunately, our system has evolved to a point where the two parties have so much control over everything, even getting your message out to the electorate (the media having been completely co-opted by the establishment), that a third option sadly doesn’t have a chance. I applaud RFK Jr. for trying. And risking his life in doing so. (Biden refusing secret service protection to him is a transparent attempt to have him eliminated.) If he didn’t have the baggage of his past, his long-running (unfair) reputation of a vaccine nut, and (sadly) his unpleasant voice, he might have a better chance.

Expand full comment

I agree 100%, except your view of him as a "vaccine nut". I think that he is asking very valid questions. It may be off-putting to many, but it is still a better stance than, say, being a pro-war neocon.

It also answers the obvious question: Why do all these 'leaders' use the same exact language to define their positions? Answer: They use language specifically created to comport with the legal frameworks they build to cloak their actions.

And who will silence or drive away the vile dissidents? An available sub-group. Who? The immigrants. Enthusiastically subjecting the dissidents to the desired level will get you a German passport. [What the powers that shouldn’t be will fail to anticipate?] When the dissidents are all silenced or driven out this poorly controlled mob of “new Germans” will turn on their controllers.

It's so true. I was one of these programmed people. I remember one time hearing an unfamiliar issue. And I went to Google and typed, "what am I supposed to think about ______?"

I remember thinking that I didn't have time to research the topic myself, so I went to the internet to tell me what purported "experts" say.

It's embarrassing I was like that but it is important to look closely at this mentality to either crack it or evade it. I've been out of that crowd for awhile now and have learned quickly there's basically no way to pierce it in a quick interaction. But it is still possible.

A while back, I read a comment that stated most people aren't SUPPOSED to wake up. They're not able.

However, if a certain percentage DO wake up-- I think it was 20% to 30%-- they will be able to herd the "go along to get along" in the correct direction.

This struck me recently as odd: During nearly three years of Covid, as a German and as a historian, I learned more on the workings of fascism and the "Third Reich" than during school and university combined. And now, so close by, during nearly three years of "Traffic light" coalition, it's the same with the workings of socialism and the GDR. Especially telling how these phenomenons overlap, not only in time, but in the persons propagating the whole shit. Tells you a lot about totalitarianism in general and about your compatriots in special, lol.

the goal of post-nazi education was the focus on “who”, not “what”. no curriculum ever taught along the lines of “the new fascism will call itself anti-fascism” but it was always “look, if he raises his arm and sais something antisemitic, he’s hitler reborn.”.

it was about focussing the public on legends instead of teaching method reconnaissance.

One of the things that I've learned in American politics is that, in general, when Party X accuses Party Y of doing... SOMETHING, that something is what Party X is doing in reality.

So it would seem that the current government in Germany is admitting that they act like a criminal/mafia syndicate, that they are using "dark money," that they are using hatred and violence against those who disagree with them, that they use disinformation campaigns (lies/gaslighting) and that anyone who disagrees with them is essentially a criminal who has no rights.

It is easy to say "get out now." But where is there to go? There is nowhere to hide.

There are places to go. They aren't western liberal societies, but they aren't creating a new Gestapo either. Russia, India, Iran, Iceland, Hungary, Latin America, parts of Africa, parts of central and southern Asia too.

You will most likely need to learn a new language and adjust to a new culture. There isn't a back up Germany out there to retreat to, or a back up Europe or USA either.

If you want a germanic, western, liberal, industrialized democracy then you're going to have to save Germany from these tyrants.

At an evening of sketches, long ago at my first university, I recall an undergrad (to become a famous comedian) standing up at a stage podium to deliver, in cod-German accent, a speech about what "is now being done about people who'd served in the Nazi regime"; how the courts were working under new "focused legislation" to track down "these people" who are "everywhere"; how kindergartens, schools, colleges and universities were at last refining their recruitment and personnel policies to assist the state in recognising the "traits", often well-hidden, of "so-called" ex-Nazis; how businesses and local authorities and the media were winkling out "the guilty" at every level, working "fearlessly with discipline and efficient intelligence", to identify "the foulness in our midst...these people who infect our new Germany" with their "diseased sub-human thoughts". As the sketch continued the actor's initially sober voice grew heated. His words came faster, adjectives amplified and given deeper emphasis with rigid hand and then arm gestures. The sympathetic and virtuous figure who'd begun the speech had slowly transformed, growing grimmer, glistening, reddening, and in a grand finale, showing a face contorted into a mask of enthusiastic - almost joyful - rage; flecks of spittle reaching the front row of the audience; even a little foam at the mouth - near apoplexy, rage and hate personified "there will at last be a final solution to this problem!". The silence before the applause was deafening.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals."

The national socialist state survived long enough to start the war that destroyed it because opposition was suppressed and most opponents decided to go quiet in their own interests.

The German democratic state survived long enough for everyone to see what a failure communism is because opposition was suppressed and most opponents decided to go quiet in their own interests.

Now the federal Republic is going to suppress opposition, and ensure it is in the opponents best interests to go quiet.

What does anyone think they will do in the safe space thereby created for overweening government? It is not done because they wish go actually democratically deal with the wishes of the people.

And still, as with covid, there is (almost) nowhere the dissidents can go and live, whether quietly or as exile opposition.

Uh, back in the States here, someone with whom I'm close was heard to say that going somewhere else would be a good option, but in Trudeau's parliamentary democracy up north, protesting truckers had their bank accounts shut down by their government. In sunny, faraway Australia, people were picked up on the streets and detained until they consented to receive unknowable biological substances injected into themselves, at which time they were presented with their very own "I'm Jabbed!" Ausweiss. When you stay home, meet like-minded people, write letters, protest and carry signs, have meetings and muck and grind it out on your own streets, it's your own home you're working to make be as it should. That may in the long run offer better potential outcomes than fleeing it all or praying for some charismatic, deeply flawed con-artist to make all of it right for you.

It's not a German phenomenon per se. It's happening across the entire West. Don't be blinded by thinking this is particularly German. It is vital to NATO that Germany be held in place. And the EU is nothing without NATO. It is a facade that would dissolve in one day without the military might of NATO behind it. These regimes in the West are all saying and doing the same thing ... liberal democracy, making the West safe for democracy, yada yada. Democracy is the codeword for protecting their grasp on power. Essentially, we are all living in the West under juntas. Their goal is complete control of the internet, by the way, to censor you into oblivion. To destroy your livelihood if necessary if you oppose them ... Why would they think twice about it? It is that simple. They are hysterically frightened of rightwing populism.

Here's a reason to laugh at these politicians right across the EU27 and UK. A known murderer from Albania did so in London, fled to Denmark, was captured, sent to UK prison, deported to Albania and... after 6 years of a life-sentence, was out. Exactly as predicted.

He went on to 'trade' cars, money, women and drugs across Belgium, Italy and more until a rival gang shot him dead whilst in Albania. In public.

This is not unique. At no point did this man ever have real EU28 / EU27 / UK documents. At no point did he have the right to stay in any European country. He inflicted real harm on everyone he met.

So, we the little people, should be frightened of the fools who would call themselves better than us. Yet real crime goes on all around us, sponsored by the very same fools.

The last time I just skimmed what the official procedure is in Germany for deportation, I could not even manage my default WTF cynical smile of disgust.

And you have come back now several times. So here is the final warning. You had better leave now or you are going to be in very big trouble. Yeah, like you say, guy who has been a hardened criminal since he was 14 ... his knees are shaking. Pathetic. Long time ago, Camille Paglia said in a video about this amazing weakness of the west, our overcivilized dying west ... she made the standard comparison to the fall of Rome ... and that (today) barbarians are once again massing on the frontiers, watching intently, for they have no such inhibtions as ours.

How? Like in Sweden, the clans in Germany would start waging outright war. They have ZERO fear of anything in Germany, including law enforcement. That's why they chose to settle in Germany, because it is a paradise for criminals. The thing to remember about the German press is that crime in the entire country has traditionally been extremely underreported. Keeps the taxpayers pacified.

You can pretty much replace "Germany" with "Sweden" for any of Eugyppius' articles dealing with german politics.

Currently, the Socialist Democrat party is advocating for some kind of pre-broadcast censorship, including rules for who would be allowed to have a pod or similar at all.

The reason for this is one man, Henrik Jönsson who's an entrepreneur from Lund, and who has been doing in-depth analyses of the current and historical consequences et cetera of the rule of the Socialist Democrat party.

Which they aren't used to and don't understand how to handle, except for censorship, deplatforming, and weaponising the courts against him.

And when one party has ruled a nation for almost three quarters of a century, at times with 50%+ of the vote, you better believe there's dirt to find - though in fairness to the party, 95% of the dirt is from post-1980s period.

Consider Democrat's accusations of Trump's 'insurrection.' Trump has never been charged for the crime of 'insurrection' let alone convicted. Yet various state legislators are removing him from their Presidential ballots on the basis of something he has neither been convicted nor charged with. The very definition of a 'thought crime.' It is incredible that these cases make it through any court without the judge asking where the conviction is. Instead, all of these cases end up at the U.S. Supreme Court.
