Agreed! Communism, socialism, progressivism, climatism . . . call it what you want, appears to be on the run everywhere. Someone pinch me, just to make sure it's not a dream.
So heartening! Though I also feel kind of embarrassed that it now makes Britain the most politically backward country in Europe again (at least among the big 4).
Yes, it's a close call right now, perhaps, but collapse of establishment politics looks a lot closer in France, so I am more optimistic about them than my own country! Or maybe we English just tend to be natural pessimists in this regard...
You Brits seem insane, but the Conservatives governed so poorly, I understand the return to Labour. Where do you turn now? My best wishes, sincerely, for the UK.
A painful lesson in what happens if one side fractures in a first-past-the-post system and the other does not.
I would hope for Britain's sake that the Conservative Party implodes and is replaced by Reform, but I imagine Reform would have had to perform better (or the Conservatives even worse) for that to happen this time around. So could this miserable situation persist for a while? A large chunk of the English right too disgusted with the Conservatives to vote for them, while another chunk too hidebound to leave them.
That's exactly what happened in Canada in 1993. The Progressive Conservative Party previously under Brian Mulroney split into three parts: the Reform Party; the Bloc Quebecois; and the remaing rump of the PCs. The resulting election was a massive majority government for Jean Chretien with the PCs reduced to two seats.
England is nation of centrist dads, I'm afraid. Which works alright under normal circumstances, but "centrism" is just a bad joke these days, so...
And yes, Conservatives were awful, so you can't blame too much the average Joe and Jane who just thought that anyone had to be better than those clowns. But no, nope, Labour are somehow even more clownish.
Australia is going the way of Canada too. At least you have an opposition leader with some guts and charisma. Ours just flatly refuses to de-woke. Still trying to appeal to everyone, even those idiots that would never consider voting for him, whilst bleeding support from their traditional base.
Don't worry, the EU's days of dictating to citizens of sovereign nations are numbered. Trump announced that he's no longer going to negotiate anything with Brussels, but instead plans to approach each nation individually. I'm all but certain other countries will follow suit whenever it's to their advantage. Ursula van der Layin' will be getting the middle finger from some of the member nations if she tries to enforce sanctions.
"Wir sind das Volk", literally: "We ARE the people" ...
But really ??? ...
NOTHING, but the opening hours of a local children's library in a forlorn hamlet deep in the Black Forest is being decided by genuine Germans !!! N O T H I N G, nada, zilch !!!
I feel like "Uns, das Volk der Deutschland" captures the *spirit* of "We, the People of the United States of America" a smidge better. But my high school German classes are also now three decades in the rear view mirror, so... I could well be wrong about that. 🤪🤣
I dunno. Can "Wir" be used as a singular participle like "We" can in English?
For however much it may be worth (and I am absolutely not qualified to judge, these days, and probably wasn't thirty years ago either) Google Translate suggests the following: "Wir, das deutsche Volk, verabschieden und etablieren diese Verfassung für Deutschland, um eine vollkommenere Union zu bilden, Gerechtigkeit herzustellen, die innere Ruhe zu sichern, für die Landesverteidigung zu sorgen, das allgemeine Wohl zu fördern und uns und unseren Nachkommen das Glück der Freiheit zu bewahren."
You're referring to the German Constitution adopted on 23.05.49. At its time it gave some hope for a better, more just and peaceful future.
Seeing how things went entirely haywire since
- the long-term US use of German soil for deployment of their nuclear arsenal,
- Mutti Merkel declared: "We can manage it" (referring to the influx of millions of
culturally alien migrants),
- the destruction of Germany's main power-drip from Russia without any local
politician having the guts to call a spade a spade,
- then the US openly inciting German producers to move over the Big Pond,
- supplying about 30% of weaponry to a genocidal entity in the ME,
- Merz's declaration of severely restricting new immigration,
- etc., etc. ad infinitum
I must admit that the folks were severely blindsided and for decades being kicked into their a*s, currently just waiting to get the final neck-breaking blow.
As the Brits said when creating NATO: Keep he US in, the Soviets out and the Germans DOWN !!!
NO nation, whatever its capabilities, last longer that its pre-determined shelf-life.
> You're referring to the German Constitution adopted on 23.05.49.
Well, I mean, very, very specifically, that was a Google Translate translation of the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States, with the referents replaced as appropriate. I must admit to never having read even a translation of the German Constitution.
That you are tired (from watching the debate) is something with which I empathize. From here in the US. I can't get anything done anymore. I check a site that I follow; oh, that looks interesting; click on the link, after I read the post, I see another headline... lather, rinse, repeat. Man, I'm such a useless bum.
I don't know if you think you're kidding or not, but it's entirely possible you're not. The Internet is all about stimulating dopamine production, these days.
I'm being totally serious. Obsessively reading all this news stuff is negatively impacting Real Life.
I regret taking the time to figure out substack Notes. That was like gasoline on a fire. (I never got way into Twitter because it's largely incomprehensible. And I'm a professional tech.)
> I'm being totally serious. Obsessively reading all this news stuff is negatively impacting Real Life.
Ah yes. Good. That was why I quit Facebook in... uh... 2020? It became obvious to me that I was losing more IRL friends than the virtual ones I was making, and it was *absolutely* making my whole life worse.
Having access to FB marketplace might be useful. But not nearly enough of a value add to my life to dip into that cesspool again.
It's a realization that apparently many many people have not had yet. I dropped Notes when I saw myself falling into the same patterns again. Same reason I don't have email notifications turned on for replies to comments. I can come to the site, check replies and likes, reply or not, as I like, and then go away and not get Pavlov's Notification Bell all damned day.
For curious Yanks: The Bundesrat consists of members appointed by state governments and the Bundestag consists of representatives directly elected by the German people. (wikipedia.)
yes, it's basically the higher house, except in practice because of their composition they tend to have little influence. there is a good chance that the Bundesrat will block Friday's legislation if it passes, however.
I confess, for someone as intimidated by the German language as me, up to today my eyes were just sort of sliding over both words as if they were the same. I had to look it up :)
I've visited Europe five times since 2000 and most recently in 2022. In Cologne that year, I was stunned. It seemed to have become a third-world country--the remarkable city that I remembered from earlier visits.
Even this small step toward reclaiming your nation and your culture gives me hope.
This is a completely unrelated to the blog post comment but as at least some of you like having me around, I thought I would update you.
My fears have come to pass and I am no longer employed, which means I have a very very short time window to either find a new job, or move out of the country I've been in for 15 years and start my life over from zero at a way too old of an age. If that future comes to pass, you will no longer see me in these comments. Hopefully only because I'm too depressed to post, but, I can't make promises at this time.
I hope I can pull a miracle out here, because I like (most of) you guys, but I have to be realistic about my situation.
Sorry to hear that. I wish you the best of luck in your search.
Also, if you find yourself simply too depressed to go on, and begin seriously contemplating or planning for self-deletion, I cannot possibly recommend ketamine therapy highly enough. It's the only reason I made it past that moment myself, and to 2019. Absolutely miraculous results, as much as it annoys me to use that term.
Good riddance to Greens, SPD and, while we're at it, to Wagenknecht too ... Let's hope for the best: for the CDU throw off the terrible inheritance of Merkel ... More of the elite will finally migrate to the AfD ... if Merz continues to be a stubborn ass ...
Blame it on television. That started the evil march of people being able to not just hear, but watch the news, and now we got them damn interwebs all over the place and no insecticide seeming powerful enough to vanquish the little critters that spin 'em, and people everywhere can see Trump's ICE doing what he said they'd do, and...
Anyway just take yer vitamins and drink yer ginger tea because we want to hear about every thrilling moment over there from you.
Seeing the way news disseminates lately makes it easy to understand why they pushed so hard for the Censorship Industrial Complex. Like you said, no insecticide is powerful enough.
It is a horror and despair to them that we can see everything for ourselves, even if we must do lots of digging and hunting to put all the bits together into the big picture.
I've said before that the Rittenhouse trial was the revelatory moment for me, though Chris Matthews's hysteria about Sanders--Sanders!!--who would set up camps in Central Park to kill everyone like Chris if he won was the beginning of the dawning of the harsh light of day. Or the noonday sun blazing through the bedcovers, or whatever.
It's almost never a matter of finding the good honest reporting but just managing to find the least bad.
One shooting in public late in the afternoon at a train station in the center of a major city, victim died.
One shooting in public in a suburb center, victim died, police in shootout with perpetrators in public.
At least five bombings.
The message from the female, unmerited excepting her sex and alleged sexual favours, chief of police to the public about how to fix this (We've had at least one bombing per day since New Year.):
"Everyone has to pitch in and help out."
Why do I mention this? Because if Germany starts turning, we might as well and though our politicos don't like admitting it, the truth is that they take a lot of their cues from Germany:
Germany went anti-nuclear, pro-wind? Even colder and harsher Sweden must of course do it faster, harder, stupider! German embraced multikulti since the 1990s? Let's have totally open borders, said Swedish politicos. Germany disarms itself? Germany trashes it's industry, education, public transportation, et cetera? You know the drill. Let's do it even more, goes Swedish politicos.
If this is real and not just trying to stave off a real popular uprising against the genocidal and racist multikultur-agenda. . . oh yeah. Sign me up for urban pacification duty!
Everyone has to pitch in and help out with... what, exactly? "Not bombing things?" I mean, I strongly suspect the absolute vast majority of Swedes will not have difficulty with that. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that most if not all of those bombings were carried out by people whose ancestors did not hail from Scandinavia.
I cannot begin to convey how *absolutely insane* hearing that sounds to me. If I were to guess how many bombings have occurred in the United States in the last 24 hours, my guess would be "zero". Heck, that would be my guess for the entire month of January. And yet I presume that there are many people in Sweden who would be horrified that I own over two dozen firearms, that I'm *allowed* to own so many firearms, and that I was able to acquire many of them without any sort of background check at all. And they would say *that* makes *America* dangerous.
At least if someone starts popping off rounds, I can *shoot back*. WTF am I supposed to do if someone sets of a motherfucking **BOMB**?!
The one time The Evil Dwarf (nickname of our former Minister of Justice) got the question:
"If people don't need to own firearms for home-defense, then why do you always walk around with armed bodyguards?"
he ran off in a huff. Well, trotted more like. Short stumpy legs.
You guess right. It's a 100% imported problem. The non-criminal - legal - migrants are often the ones clamouring for the "round'em up and kill'em"-solutions, so before any of those are ever interviewed on air, they are heavily vetted so only "community organisers" and the like gets to speak.
My old kurdish neighbour when I lived down south in (as I think about them) an occupied zone used to say this:
"You find them and capture them, and then you hang their bodies up outside their parents' homes and post a guard and let the body hang there for a week"
He was dead serious.
It's early morning Thursday here as I type this. Checking police data, I can tell you that since New Years, Sweden has suffered one bombing per day on average. And as I type, the news pops up that an Iranian democracy-activist was shot dead in a town outside Stockholm last night, as he was live-streaming over TikTok.
There's only one solution to this, and that's ethnic cleansing. We need to deport over 10% of our inhabitants, many born here, or lock them up for life, or execute at least 50 000 foreigners.
I got a taxi ride in Berlin one evening from an ethnic Turk who gave me an absolute earful about Turkish immigrants to Germany who refuse to assimilate. He was not a fan, to put it mildly. Heck, he was far more vehement about the topic than I am about the topic of illegal immigrants to my southern border state.
I grant that we have very different perspectives on the topic. Being American, we're pretty much *all* from somewhere else, on some timeline, even the "Native" Americans. So I wouldn't call for "ethnic" cleansing so much as "cultural". Though in many cases, it's obviously going to amount to the same thing. And even so, even with the horrors that the drug cartels manage, I still think a rash of bombings is freakier.
Right, but even there, the solution is obvious and easy. Allow armed teachers. Obviously, I'm not suggesting that we *mandate* any teacher who doesn't want to, to carry. But my former Brother-in Law is also a former United States Marine, and a fourth grade teacher. It is *flatly moronic* to prevent him from carrying the means to protect his students and his school at work. I would trust Rob to protect absolutely anything I cared about, and to be perfectly responsible in keeping that arm secure and on his person during the work day. You can't fight back against bombs. Fighting back against emotional idiots with guns looking for posthumous fame is trivial in comparison.
Hmmm that's interesting -- for as long as I can remember, Sweden has always been held up as the perfect execution of social democracy over here, a shining example Germany should emulate. Two sets of elites just spiraling up in mutual masturbation?
Sweden looks to Germany and thinks: "Hey, they're doing it and they're smart so it's must be a good idea - let's show them we can do it even better!"
Germany looks to Sweden and thinks: "Hey, if such a small nation can do what we've been talking about, and to such an extent, it should be easy street for us to do it even more and better!"
And vice versa, and back and forth, endlessly reinforcing. Like two alcoholics reassuring each other they can stop drinking any time they choose to.
That, plus refusal to admit being in the wrong or doing something wrong being a cardinal personality-trait for any who tries for a political career.
Dear Eugyppius, breath deep, rub your eyes and adjust to the sun over Germany that just got a little brighter.
God only knows what you guys will be able to see from now on.
From an American....we wish you a brighter future.
This American seconds that sentiment.
As an American, I feel this is a second USA revolution and I hope that light goes out to the rest of the world.
seems there is some life left in Germany ! Congratulations - I am sure you did your part in it E!
He is. We all are. Its a worldwide populist movement, and most of the folks here are in the Leave Us The Fuck Alone wing.
I remember my teachers tiptoeing around the Populists. But I always thought that the philosophy had much to commend it.
Agreed! Communism, socialism, progressivism, climatism . . . call it what you want, appears to be on the run everywhere. Someone pinch me, just to make sure it's not a dream.
Phucking eh!
So heartening! Though I also feel kind of embarrassed that it now makes Britain the most politically backward country in Europe again (at least among the big 4).
Just like Thatcher said:
Ya'll are going to have to shoot your way out of it...because of the idiots voting these socialist into office.
2A 📜🇺🇲🔔
Yup. There's a reason tyranny always wants your guns
What about France?
Yes, it's a close call right now, perhaps, but collapse of establishment politics looks a lot closer in France, so I am more optimistic about them than my own country! Or maybe we English just tend to be natural pessimists in this regard...
They tried to crush you guys because the peasants rebelled by voting for Brexit. Same thing across the pond when Trump was elected.
You Brits seem insane, but the Conservatives governed so poorly, I understand the return to Labour. Where do you turn now? My best wishes, sincerely, for the UK.
Labour won an overwhelming parliamentary majority in 2024 with fewer actual votes than they received in 2019.
That larger number of votes in 2019 won them an embarrassingly feeble parliamentary minority at the time.
That's how enthusiastic the British electorate was about voting for Labour in 2024.
The arithmetic makes sense when you take into account the collapse of the Conservative vote.
A painful lesson in what happens if one side fractures in a first-past-the-post system and the other does not.
I would hope for Britain's sake that the Conservative Party implodes and is replaced by Reform, but I imagine Reform would have had to perform better (or the Conservatives even worse) for that to happen this time around.

may be we should send the Europeans about to die a couple of these ventilators left from the covid scam ?
Reform! :D
Lucky Canada is not in the EU or it would be most backward.
True. If the Liberal Party wins after everything they and Canada have experienced lately, then I'm afraid Canada is truly beyond the Pale!
Australia is going the way of Canada too. At least you have an opposition leader with some guts and charisma. Ours just flatly refuses to de-woke. Still trying to appeal to everyone, even those idiots that would never consider voting for him, whilst bleeding support from their traditional base.
Sounds like our Conservative Party in England, to be honest. At least until recently, but even under Badenoch to a large extent.
From Quebec
You and I Alex, you and I brother.
No more ,No Mas , c'est finit.
En effet. I'm most a fan of Bernier and his party, from what I've seen, but even a Poilievre government would be a certain improvement.
Morgoth made a video where he says it's Woke North Korea.....thankfully others will be modelling the way out.
Don't worry, the EU's days of dictating to citizens of sovereign nations are numbered. Trump announced that he's no longer going to negotiate anything with Brussels, but instead plans to approach each nation individually. I'm all but certain other countries will follow suit whenever it's to their advantage. Ursula van der Layin' will be getting the middle finger from some of the member nations if she tries to enforce sanctions.
The expression on Herr Scholz’s face is wonderful to behold.
most such photos are archival but that one comes from the debate this afternoon. SPD and Greens are losing their minds
Their tears are delicious. I'm just fine drinking them down by the gallons.
Its truly a sight to behold, how little someone can learn if they're thoroughly devoted to declining to learn.
It says if they're being bribed by the WEF. But of course that can't be true. It just must be cultish fanaticism and irrationality.
Good news for you and for Germany. Perhaps now, you all can begin to get your country back.
I've had my doubts until now, to be quite honest.
How do you spell "We The People" in German?
Taking 'em down in real time.
Just glorious! So happy for you guys.
The Overton Window just began shifting.
"Wir sind das Volk", literally: "We ARE the people" ...

I hope you can stay Eidein, I hope it works out for you. I know from long years what it feels to be in your position, believe me.
Sorry to hear that. I wish you the best of luck in your search.

It's the only reason I made it past that moment myself, and to 2019. Absolutely miraculous results, as much as it annoys me to use that term.
They are pathetic. Their childlike belief that the AFD are evil and they are the good guys is ridiculous.
If AFD voted to protect human rights they would vote against it.
The left wouldn't recognise human rights if it hit them in the face!
Sounds like AfD should have adopted the "opposite day" strategy years ago
After the Thuringia crisis, they were definitely considering it!
Just like the Democrats in the States and Liberals in Canada. Exactly the same mind set .
Good riddance to Greens, SPD and, while we're at it, to Wagenknecht too ... Let's hope for the best: for the CDU throw off the terrible inheritance of Merkel ... More of the elite will finally migrate to the AfD ... if Merz continues to be a stubborn ass ...
I agree, but Wagenknecht is good for breaking some taboos on the Left.

Everyone has to pitch in and help out with... what, exactly? "Not bombing things?" I mean, I strongly suspect the absolute vast majority of Swedes will not have difficulty with that. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that most if not all of those bombings were carried out by people whose ancestors did not hail from Scandinavia.
I cannot begin to convey how *absolutely insane* hearing that sounds to me. If I were to guess how many bombings have occurred in the United States in the last 24 hours, my guess would be "zero".

There's only one solution to this, and that's ethnic cleansing. We need to deport over 10% of our inhabitants, many born here, or lock them up for life, or execute at least 50 000 foreigners.
Not very probable, politically speaking.
I got a taxi ride in Berlin one evening from an ethnic Turk who gave me an absolute earful about Turkish immigrants to Germany who refuse to assimilate. He was not a fan, to put it mildly. Heck, he was far more vehement about the topic than I am about the topic of illegal immigrants to my southern border state.
I grant that we have very different perspectives on the topic. Being American, we're pretty much *all* from somewhere else, on some timeline, even the "Native" Americans. So I wouldn't call for "ethnic" cleansing so much as "cultural". Though in many cases, it's obviously going to amount to the same thing. And even so, even with the horrors that the drug cartels manage, I still think a rash of bombings is freakier.
We don't get bombings, we get school shootings. 6 of one....*
*I don't think any are organic. In the states it's obvious that alphabet agencies were at least aware...
Right, but even there, the solution is obvious and easy. Allow armed teachers. Obviously, I'm not suggesting that we *mandate* any teacher who doesn't want to, to carry. But my former Brother-in Law is also a former United States Marine, and a fourth grade teacher. It is *flatly moronic* to prevent him from carrying the means to protect his students and his school at work. I would trust Rob to protect absolutely anything I cared about, and to be perfectly responsible in keeping that arm secure and on his person during the work day. You can't fight back against bombs. Fighting back against emotional idiots with guns looking for posthumous fame is trivial in comparison.
Hmmm that's interesting -- for as long as I can remember, Sweden has always been held up as the perfect execution of social democracy over here, a shining example Germany should emulate. Two sets of elites just spiraling up in mutual masturbation?
Like so:
Sweden looks to Germany and thinks: "Hey, they're doing it and they're smart so it's must be a good idea - let's show them we can do it even better!"
Germany looks to Sweden and thinks: "Hey, if such a small nation can do what we've been talking about, and to such an extent, it should be easy street for us to do it even more and better!"
And vice versa, and back and forth, endlessly reinforcing. Like two alcoholics reassuring each other they can stop drinking any time they choose to.
That, plus refusal to admit being in the wrong or doing something wrong being a cardinal personality-trait for any who tries for a political career.
Shootings and cockroaches are proof of Western 'civilization'.
