These posts would be worth reading only for the occasional pungent, unforgettable phrase. Case in point, I will never forget: "...visceral, almost ancestral disgust." Oh, how I have felt this in the presence of American progressive politicians.
What is amusing while I scratch my head in puzzlement is they claim bringing in millions of Islamic fascist supremacists will somehow "cure" the fascism of the German people. The sheer stupidity of the so called "leaders" of European countries is truly astounding.
That's not the plan. They plan to ofdfer so many goodies to the immigrants they vote for anyone other than AfD so the old regime can stagger on in irrelevance for another session of the Bunderstag. The subsequent play outr, when representatives of the new elites take charge, has not been considered. Their ability to calculate gets confused.
I am not sure what the point is you are trying to make here. Are you saying they are not importing millions of Islamic supremacist fascists which will lead to what they fear most becoming reality?
No, he's saying that these people are opportunistic low intelligence short term thinkers who think that the people that they're importing will be voting for them and therefore ensure their place at the trough.
Our Democrats imported overwhelming quantities of low information gibsmedats, with the clear intent of securing an unbeatable electoral majority.
What they learned during the last election is that an unexpected number of these people actually voted for candidates who *weren't* batshit crazy instead of for theirs.
Ensuring their place at the trough until they retire or die is the objective. The fact that they are destroying their country, their culture, and their legacy does not bother them in the least.
Quite astonishing that is even possible. Historians will struggle to explain it, and most people won’t believe a people of such storied history could be so willing to be replaced.
That assumes someone would sleep with her: "Coyote ugly" is a slang term describing the desperate desire to escape a one-night stand after waking up. It refers to being willing to chew off your own arm so you don't wake the unappealing person lying on it, much like a trapped coyote gnaws off its leg to survive.
Actually coyotes will not chew their leg off to escape a trap.Some animals will,I have been told beaver will, but not coyotes. I've seen many of them that had been in the trap for quite a long time ( not pretty), but none that chewed their way free. Sometimes they will pull off a couple of toes if they weren't well caught, but that's about it.
Germany is going to win the Olympics in enshitification.
Just watch all these people that have destroyed Germany will start building 2nd homes they essentially use as first homes east of Germany, like Poland.
Pure suicide. Literally deindustrializing a global powerhouse.
The entire German equity market is now worth less than four individual US tech giants. And soon, Amazon alone could be worth more than all listed German companies combined.
That's right. The elites always retreat to their homogeneous gated communities and islands of safety after they force diversity on the rest of us. Witness what happened when Florida governor DeSantis hilariously diverted a plane full of Venezuelan migrants to liberal elite stronghold Martha's Vinyard. Instead of receiving a warm welcome, they were immediately detained and deported to the mainland.
Alas, the real motivation starting to be revealed by the perpetrators. Obviously it was never about “line go up,” Fachkräfte, etc. This was always the reason from the start: slow-motion annihilation of European peoples and cultures by evil and deranged ideological freaks. The masks fall.
I will add, this is the single explanatory principle for 100% of leftist politics. Who is it who releases murderers and rapists as soon as they’re caught? The leftists infesting the judiciary. Obviously the reasons they give are as phony as the reasons for being pro migration. Astonishing that so many refuse to see this even at this late hour.
What Barbel Bas and her German-hating co-conspirators have neglected to consider is the fact that their beloved new arrivals from the developing world are far more conservative and far less tolerant than the nice liberal Native Germans they hope to replace. Does she understand Sharia Law? Has she any inkling that advocacy for gay rights, trans rights, and women's rights are treated as crimes in many of their countries? Will there be a backlash when the Christian churches are shuttered (or burned down)? Or when beer and sausage are banned, or severely restricted? How about when Berlin's hedonistic night life is regulated out of existence?
You know, something that always troubled me about sci-fi from the '60s was an aggressive sort of beige-ing of humanity, and "diversity" in TV shows and movies now includes a ridiculous refusal to recognize why physical traits are tied to specific geographical regions.
I guess Bas has already pre-reserved theatres for showings of Nolan's upcoming abomination of "The Odyssey."
In a way these people of the bureaucratic state did us a great service throughout the monstrosity of Our Plague Era. I'm sure to not be the only non-German Westerner to have seen how quickly all the best people fall to the pleasures of verminizing The Other. They've created in me such a powerful sympathy for what the ordinary German endured from the beginnings of the 20th century that I've even come to understand, with pity mixed with the understanding that one must always take out the rabid creature, much of how That Guy thought.
If one were looking for a galaxy-class doctoral thesis, one could do worse than a scholarly analysis of how much the overreaching excessiveness of the loony left contributed to the modern pathology of Making Hitler Cool Again.
No, he wasn't cool. He was that great tragedy, the autistic guy allowed to indulge his obsessions because all the ambitious or crazy-in-other-ways people around him wanted to ride those obsessions for their own purposes.
Now that we're talking about sci-fi, I want to mention Philip Dick's _Clans of the Alphane Moon_, written in the manual typewriter era. Crazy people take over an asylum and run it satisfactorily, although no one gets any psychiatric treatment and the original psychoses continue.
It evokes Ursula LeGuin's "The Lathe of Heaven," in which this literally takes place, as the result of the protagonist's goo-goo wish to end racism (actually, they become gray).
Meanwhile, Barbel gripes about Germany's "gray uniformity." Coincidence or conspiracy?
One of the more painful aspects of becoming an old gal was realizing how lousy most of them sci-fi writers were. I was never a fan of LeGuin but Asimov, it really hurt to reread him. And Bradbury.
He took the short story I can still cry over all these many many decades later and gave it a sequel where the heroine becomes the goddess queen of a prehistoric tribe. Just reading *about* it gave me serious indigestion.
This always blows me away. The SPD has been Germany’s labor party for a century and a half. A member of a labor party going to the mat for mass immigration. Like, do you understand what a labor party IS? Do you understand who you profess to advocate for? Do you understand that few things drive wages down more than mass immigration?
If you ACTUALLY represent the super-rich and foreign migrants, at least have the decency to rename and rebrand your party. Or go join a DIFFERENT party that was CREATED to represent the super-rich and foreign migrants - like the Green Party. There’s a party in Germany that the working class is flocking to - and it’s NOT the SPD.
A political organization. No different than a teachers' union in the US, the president of which once publicly stated that he would begin worrying about the issue of children's welfare when children began paying union dues.
The SPD has become a party that likes to invite the foxes into the henhouse. That’s why they are polling at 12%. It’s the least surprising thing in the world. For 70 years, this was a Volkspartei. Now they poll below the Greens. Victims of their own success, I guess. Now they have nothing else to wish for.
Unfortunately, the „barracks“ and the Jusos have long since taken over the SPD. The Verdi clowns count as „workers“. Not to worry, the old working class is being/has been systematically destroyed.
We have our own Progressive version of this in America.
It boils down to "we can't convince existing citizens to accept the lower living standards Progressive policies produce, so we intend to import future voters, who will view the step down in economic security and physical safety, as a step up."
Few complain about ER wait times, if they have spent their entire lives lacking nearly all healthcare, especially if someone else is picking up the tab.
On the other hand , an American parent that remembers a 15 minute ER wait with their first child a decade prior, is likely to be very unhappy when the same ER now requires a 4 hour wait, to have an MD check their youngest child's ankle, after a Little League game.
These posts would be worth reading only for the occasional pungent, unforgettable phrase. Case in point, I will never forget: "...visceral, almost ancestral disgust." Oh, how I have felt this in the presence of American progressive politicians.
Adam Shiff comes to mind. Eric Swalwell. Nancy Pelosi. Pocahontas. Going back, Harry Reid.
Justin Trudeau does this for me.
And Carney
Far too many to mention.
true that

Ah ok. They are wrong those people they are importing will be murdering them in the most heinous ways possible once they get enough power.
Yuppers.
Well, yes and no.
Our Democrats imported overwhelming quantities of low information gibsmedats, with the clear intent of securing an unbeatable electoral majority.
What they learned during the last election is that an unexpected number of these people actually voted for candidates who *weren't* batshit crazy instead of for theirs.
Exactly. The gibsmedats understand the importance of slamming the door behind them. The bounty is not infinite.
Self loathing is not healthy. Bad people exploit it. Good people help but at a distance.
"Their ability to calculate gets confused."
Otherwise known as "thinking zero moves ahead."
Ensuring their place at the trough until they retire or die is the objective. The fact that they are destroying their country, their culture, and their legacy does not bother them in the least.
Truly! It utterly boggles the mind.
Again, I call it suicidal empathy. Maybe not exactly apt.
My main point is to wake people up - not be suicidal.
“Don’t be suicidal” seems a request that is so basic, it should never need to be uttered to an adult. But apparently we must.
Many are asleep.
She looks like an exemplar of boring nothingness wanting to be replaced
Begging to be replaced. Ergo, she will be embraced.
Suicide by invitation is the religion of what was formerly European Enlightenment Rationalism.
Quite astonishing that is even possible. Historians will struggle to explain it, and most people won’t believe a people of such storied history could be so willing to be replaced.
I'd be abrasive too if I was "coyote ugly".
You didn't need the coyotes, it's just a technical term
what I replied my be funnier than what I meant to reply: You didn't need the quote around coyote ugly, it's just a technical term
I got it. Lolol
That assumes someone would sleep with her: "Coyote ugly" is a slang term describing the desperate desire to escape a one-night stand after waking up. It refers to being willing to chew off your own arm so you don't wake the unappealing person lying on it, much like a trapped coyote gnaws off its leg to survive.
Oh I know what coyote ugly is. It was coined by genX when I was in college for guys that went "whaling".
Speaking of which it would've been nice if Bärbel Bas were able to say her goodbyes to her son "Timmy" before they put him out to sea.
Tharr she blows!
I'm older, and I remember a "two bagger".
"One for each of ya".
Name the film the 2nd was used...
Before the coyote there was the "three-bagger." You needed to protect your dog to prevent howling.
Tombstone, right?
Got it! Val Kilmer's 2nd best line.
1st would be "I'm your Huckleberry".
Best ever!

It is an urban legend. Most don't get farther off-road with their SUV's than driving up over the curb.
Not exactly a Romy or Elke is she.
"Cultural enrichment."
How's that working so far?
Germany is going to win the Olympics in enshitification.
Just watch all these people that have destroyed Germany will start building 2nd homes they essentially use as first homes east of Germany, like Poland.
Pure suicide. Literally deindustrializing a global powerhouse.
The entire German equity market is now worth less than four individual US tech giants. And soon, Amazon alone could be worth more than all listed German companies combined.
Its almost as if it were planned...

Witness what happened when Florida governor DeSantis hilariously diverted a plane full of Venezuelan migrants to liberal elite stronghold Martha's Vinyard. Instead of receiving a warm welcome, they were immediately detained and deported to the mainland.
And most satisfying of all, they fell back on the classic "no room at the inn" excuse. Positively Biblical!
Seriously. Why didn't they just let them gather in squalorous encampments in their public parks and beaches?
Germany's state of cultural enrichment is a living example of what Gad Saad calls 'suicidal empathy'
At this point it would seem impossible to use that term unless it's being used ironically; unfortunately, they continue to do that.
Keep an eye out, and you'll notice that nobody anymore is advertising their product as "safe and effective."

This is a genocide against the German people
Bas must be tried at a new set of Nuremburg trials for her and her sponsors
Revelatory. But now, prepare yourself Eugy, for the German media equivalent of "Republicans pounce!" narrative.
As an American, I can agree with Bärbel. We just might not agree as to the direction they should go.

Didn't help he was a meth-head too.
Which is why I said "pathology."

In grade school, Asimov was my hero. Today, I disdain him as an unreconstructed big-government elitist.
I was slightly in error. It wasn't a sequel. It was a wretched novelization.

She refers to these immigrants as "skilled workers" - and she's the Labour Minister. No wonder the German economy is in the toilet.
She also stated that social benefits aren't a pull factor for 'asylum' seekers. She's a lying dog faced pony soldier, as Biden would say
Wokenomics.
"Skilled workers" LOL. I caught that, too.
You mean, she doesn't see there's already been quite a lot of migration? Maybe she hasn't noticed because none of it has happened in her neighborhood.
And/or none of them labor/labour so not on her radar.

"likely to be very unhappy when the same ER now requires a 4 hour wait"
Or even more unhappy when they find their rural hospital shuttered, and have to travel 25-60 miles to reach another one.
