SINCE GERMANY is so enthusiastic about democracy, they ought to change the name to something like German Democratic Republic/Deutsche Demokratische Republik (GDR/DDR).
Are you kidding me? The STASI were pikers compared to the surveillance system today, shared between the state and the tech corporations. They know everything about you.
(I'm forgetting I'm under 'limited reach' by X, for illustrating what Danes did to traitors at the end of WW2 German occupation, liking it to what should happen to our globalist PM)
I don't think Germans are stupid; there needs to be a better word for it. They have been "made stupid" as Bonhoeffer stated so well by the propaganda that permeates the world. Indoctrinated, taken by mass formation, influenced by the political undertow of "groupthink."
Echoes of this ridiculousness can be seen around the world. Here in the USA they tried an "Antifa" rebrand, trying to analogize what Antifa does with what anyone who fought against the Nazis in WWII did. LAst I checked, no one in the US or abroad were burning their own buildings and harming their own people during WWII.
"Mostly Peaceful Protests" are riots featuring burning buildings.
"Dangerous Insurrections" are people that break windows and take unsolicited tours of federal buildings.
To be made stupid is first to be weak minded, as many are here in Canada. To wit, 8.8 million weak minded stupid people voted for four more years of failed Marxist Liberal party rule.
Weak-minded is a better term for it. We can understand how weak-bodied people can nonetheless have strong minds, and the inverse. Let me give you an example.
One Thanksgiving, we played a game of 20 questions. We stuck cards affixed to "halos" on our foreheads. We could not see what was on the cards, but others could. So my first three questions were "was it an animal, vegetable, or mineral?" Every three questions received a "no" answer...One predominant in the group seemed to answer for all the rest of the family members.
After the twenty. The questions were over and all my guesses were exhausted. I looked at my card and saw an "ant." An ant is an animal. And when I pointed this out, the one guy who predominantly answered assured me an ant was not an animal.
No one backed me. It was a silly game, but I remember at that point just opting out, realizing the silly game wasn't going to work if the group failed the test.
Imagine how much more they dominate when they don't appear to be intimidating. A three letter agency "simply is." They could make any assertions they want, and everyone is on board. Because they think "this isn't a bully, this agency did its due diligence. It vetted, checked, questioned, and experimented. There is no way they can make unilateral decisions without proper checks and balances."
Ah, perhaps you are an older white male of heterosexual identity? Your see, your knowledge of what an "animal" is cannot be valid because you are a member of an "oppressor" group. There are other more diverse knowledges that have superseded yours. Resistance is useless.
I should have asked. But I can speculate. And this will break your brain if you hear it.
They would have said, "An ant is not an animal, it is an insect."
This is why initially I thought maybe they confused "mammal" and "animal." I was giving them an out, a benefit of the doubt. But they asserted that an ant is not an animal.
They should have also realized that the first three questions were meant to discern where the questions were going to go from that starting off point.
whoa.... words fail me here. a whole different level of.... eh.... stupid? I'm not sure about my relatives (we haven't had our yearly Christmas-whatever yet), but as we say in my language I've been 'walking on eggs' the past few years, not wanting to hurt their feelings while trying to stay calm myself. I guess many can relate to this :-((
I can't top that. However I once lost two Scrabble games in a row, because my bumpkin relatives wouldn't admit that 'ouzo' and 'oyez' were words. In their defense, neither was in their tiny household abridged dictionary.
If only there was something most people hold in their hands that could give them answers.
I used to joke about this, but now I would think it would be also good to have that backup dictionary as you never know what words are being removed and altered in current dictionaries.
Consider that the English language (and Scrabble) acknowledges many foreign language loanwords in general use by English speakers. Would you disqualify words like "paparazzi" or "tofu" from scoring in Scrabble?
The masses are always ignorant and far removed from power. They are not what separates now from current generations; it is our elite who not only no longer even pretend to care about their welfare, but actively work against it.
Correct .except that the masses are NOT ignorant . They see what is happening. They just have no power . William Buckley famously said “ I’d rather be governed by the first 100 names in the Boston telephone directory “
Precisely. The sea change is the mental capture of the establishment. Their need for a cause is alas liberalism and extreme individual rights which has taken them down a suicidal path.
I fear only collapse can save the West now. The European elites for sure are lost. They seem to sincerely believe what they preach to.
If the west collapses, it will not be saved. It will be assimilated by one of the remaining dominant world powers, most likely Islam. Houllebecq already predicted this in Submission.
I suspect that Islam is going to end up being one of the “useful idiots”, just like indigenous people in various countries who think that UNDRIP has their best interests at heart.
So do I. They are not natural organizers. For now they appear to have the upper hand because the West is still civilized, or at least has to act so. So mass rape of kids and general tomfoolery like public praying is protected by the establishment. The Hindus in the Punjab have a quite different approach which they are unembarrassed to share with us.
Islam can't spread in Europe; wrong firmware. It is Islam that has to survive the West. In some immigrant communities male homosexuality is spreading and the women are getting ideas into their head about autonomy and even owning property. Their birthrate is declining too.
Sure, at the moment, Islamic adherents have aligned with progressives to achieve power. There is no Woketopia, however; Wokenesss cannot sustain itself. Islam, however, has an excellent track record. Suffice it to say, the hijab, not the pride flag, will be the western state symbol in the future.
If someone does "see" then they must be responsible for what it is they do see. So I can understand not wanting to see it. There are things in many of our lives that we have a "willful blindness" towards.
Stupid is a lack of capacity for intelligence. At least that has been my definition of it. The definitions spit out by the internet are the following:
stupid: having or showing a great lack of intelligence or common sense. That's from the Oxford dictionary.
Webster:
: slow of mind : OBTUSE
b
: given to unintelligent decisions or acts : acting in an unintelligent or careless manner
c
: lacking intelligence or reason : BRUTISH
2
: dulled in feeling or sensation : TORPID
still stupid from the sedative
3
: marked by or resulting from unreasoned thinking or acting : SENSELESS
a stupid decision
The problem is, I do know smart people that lack common sense. What I don't know are people without the capacity of intelligence to form complex thoughts.
I also think smart people can make stupid decisions. So again, not stupid.
I don't think a stupid person could login to Twitter for instance.
Ignorant isn't stupid either, but rather either a willfull or just not educating themselves on a subject. They have a brain, but for whatever reason, refuse to use it.
What is interesting is that all western countries seem to be in self destruct mode . Knowingly allowing immigrants in , dismantling reliable energy , censoring dissenters , encouraging LGBT , promoting abortion and discouraging family formation and “ replacement “ of 2.1 babies with 1.6 assuring eventual extinction . These are not being imposed from without . It is from within .
This. It took four million years of hearing, “Why don’t you let me be in charge?” Four. Million. Years of progress, suddenly stopped in 2005. Nothing of any real use has occurred since 2000. We had a good run.
I’ve worked my life in firefighting (27 years) construction and paint (40 years includes off days from firehouse). Every time women became involved productivity dropped and camaraderie evaporated. Officer safety was not even a thing in police work until women were allowed to join. The fact that women now say “women are allowed” tells you everything. Allowed by who? Men. We are still in charge, start acting like it.
Well ,I didn’t want to “ go there “ but since you already did ..yes . I wondered if the Ancient Greek philosophers discussed woman’s rights ,especially suffrage. I could find no reference except in the utopian Plato Republic . The Romans ..nope ..then the Ottomans ,the Catholic Church . The Scottish enlightenment,the French enlightenment…name a philosopher..in the USA as soon as we get woman’s suffrage ..we get Prohibition. It is a problem .
They did discuss it indirectly. They wrote about women and generally argued against their natural behaviour. They didn’t talk about suffrage because most men didn’t even have this right in the first place (they had to earn it by being better than average in one way or another) and women were mostly dependent on men for many natural/biological reasons.
You talk about Roman and actually I think their mistake was to grant too much power to women (in many ways women were somewhat equal in the empire, at least the rich ones) and this is what led to a modification of morals/behaviour which weakened the empire (among other things of course).
I believe that Christianity as a religion was started as movement around those troubles (you can make the parallel with Romans affinity with homosexuality and pederasty). It was started as a lower class religion (only picked up by emperor and then kings much later) by weaker men as a tool to oppose the strong (warriors, merchant, etc). Unsurprisingly Christianity was largely supported by women more than men, and overtime it became a requirement for a man to be able to mate.
It is a moral framework that tries to manage the natural behaviour of both sex for mutual benefits. But it got quickly picked up by the powerful as a tool to justify legitimacy and control lower class behaviour (you can make the parallel with feminism and DEI nonsense today). In the end it became just another justification for one class to dominate the rest of the population. Since it doesn't require force it is extremely convenient as compliance is rooted in moral evaluation and the agents have self enforcing behaviour.
However I do not believe it had the benefits that our modern storytelling try to confer it.
In many ways it was an obscurantist force and it is clear that religion put a break on progress. The only "truth" allowed was what the church would tell and they had a monopoly on what we call science nowadays.
You can see this is the technological regression that happened after the Roman Empire dislocation, they afforded many "niceties" that would only start to come back around the renaissance and really took off with the Enlightenment. The rejection of the bible (and its religious enforcers) as the only source of truth is what got the ball rolling. It is not necessarily clear because for a long time you could not have a voice if you didn't swear allegiance to the church which was basically the endoctrinement arm of the rulers (kings and such).
In many ways to can make the parallel with today's society: academia overrun with women and weak men create the equivalent of scripture (meaningless social "science" studies that are mostly bullshit) that gets used by the power in place as justification for policies that hurt the lower class. Truth has become something that is relative outside of the hard science and anyone who doesn't submit to the ideology is designed as an enemy to be vanquished.
Ray N. Speaks for me. I make this point all the time.
We did it to ourselves.
I don’t blame the immigrants to Canada. Why wouldn’t they come here? Back home has a bad economy. Canada holds out hope to them for a better life. When they get here, they see it’s largely a fraud and an extortion racket: We make them take community college courses, which affords them a work permit for two years during which time they can fight and struggle to become qualified to meet our immigration qualifications. It’s a complete bullshit, education but really just a backdoor to immigration which extorts crazy money out of them for a community college course on international business, which is not worth the paper it’s written on.
Neither Germany nor Canada are inherently stupid, but those in charge of policy are...or they're deliberate saboteurs. Since the level of stupidity is mind-boggling, I believe it is the latter, directed either by foreign nationals (China, Russia, Islam, or all three) and/or western globalists.Basically the entire Earth against middle-class westerners.
Both countries have too many submissive people. Once again their salvation will have to come from the gun-toting cowboys and gangsters of the United States.
The combination of freedoms guaranteed by the USA constitution, which includes the right to bear arms, along with two powerful elites who went against the establishment....Trump and Musk, and through them, the liberation of the executive branch and X are the only thing currently separating the USA from the rest of the western world. If any nation is to break through the globalists/foreign interests it will be the USA. We will surely assist in liberating our fellow western nations if we succeed in liberating our own. Even with Trump, Musk, the constitution, and our guns, we're still the underdog, as evidenced by Republicans not coming close to utilizing the power they currently possess controlling all three branches of government.
I have lost faith . Th3y beat down Musk and dismantled DOGE .
Trump has sacrificed the executive to the judiciary . You are spot on about the constitution. It is set up so that each of the three branches vie for power . For some reason Trump has surrendered to the courts .
Beat down Musk? No, Musk is indefatigable. The Establishment has Struck Back though, and as long as they have the corrupt judges interpreting the law and the RINO's in Congress preventing laws such as election integrity from being made, they will continue to be well entrenched and instantly take us back to the Autopen administration if they take back the presidency. However, that result is not guaranteed. It's based on enough people packing it in and sitting out the elections so that it is not too big to rig. Keep the faith; there are many years of grinding ahead. MAGA MUST keep the white house in 28, even if the midterms are lost.
It was well-known to everybody beforehand that Musk's employment would be strictly temporary. The President has authority to "hire" such consultants for only a limited time -- any longer than that, and he would have needed Senate confirmation. Trump knew better to depend on getting that, so he had Musk run his operation as high-speed, low-drag, get in and get out, and do as much damage to the Swamp as possible in that limited time. And I think he did a pretty good job. I haven't seen so many leftists limping since the Little Steel Strike Massacre in Chicago,
Legally, it appears that he is constrained to do so. I personally believe he is playing a game of rope-a-dope, waiting for one of them to overreach (and their fatal flaw is that they always overreach) -- then he will press a case through the Supreme Court in which it will have no option but to alter the playing field in his favor permanently.
I like your interpretation, ,Henry. Dear God, may you reward this man so that one day he will be rewarded with many accolades as to hoe "prescient" his observations were. Amen.
I think he has his strongest argument in sending in the troop .Both Eisenhower and JFK did it …in a Big way and few objected . He needs to do it and put the ball in the Supreme Court hands . Would they risk ruling against JFK precedent ? …would they take the risk Trump ignores them ? They have no enforcement power …My guess is they blink and stand down . They can’t risk being irrelevant and toothless
Exactly ..except we are weak too . Look at the January 6 th “ insurrection “ …no one had a weapon . In France a few years ago thousands of yellow vests showed up . I guess they thought “ showing up “ was enough .
The term widely used is “suicidal empathy”. Combine this with limitless tax money deployed to NGO’s for globalists highest priority: bring as many third-world people into the west as is possible. These globalist elite, however, are fully sheltered from the West’s new guests in their mansions and penthouses with armed private security.
Actually most that live in the Collective Waste are Mammon Worshipers, and if their money isn't there they cannot consider not complying with their authority let alone protest.
I know our author has likely explained such things with great insight, but I think I need to hear it again: WTF does AfD have that makes Antifa so obviously afraid? Whatever it is, I want some of it.
There's a lot of ways to answer this question. To begin with, Antifa aren't reacting organically to perceived threats, they're being funded and organised by major political parties, their apron organisations and NGOs. Antifa get sent out against the AfD, because the AfD is a common cause for the entire German left. A common enemy to rail against has never been more important than now, when the left is increasingly scattered across different issues (Palestine, climate, social justice, etc.). Finally, there's the fact that the AfD is strong and getting stronger, and this threatens prevailing relationships among the establishment parties that keep the left side of the spectrum relevant, in power and paid.
And no-one needs reminding of what communist gangs assaulting other political parties and "the wrong kind of communists" led to a century ago.
I don't there's a question if AfD - with tacit and later open support from police/military - will form Freikorps to guard their representatives in the future.
A large part of the entire idea of Antifa - and I know from personal experience - is to drive the opponent into becoming the scarecrow Antifa claims to be fighting in the first place.
Once enough Germans understand this they will be more likely to support AfD. I only hope when (not if) they take power their leaders remember this violence and thuggery, and serve justice on leftists and their sponsors.
I would love to see something like this happen in Australia. Some right leaning political movement drawing in hundreds of young Zoomers and millenials (predominatly men) with thousands of deranged leftists screaming in protest. Things are getting pretty dire here. The remnants of what was once our great Australian way of life is rotting away like fruit just left to fall on the ground and rot.
And God only knows what other American / EU / UK agencies, NGOs, foundations, nonprofits, multilateral organizations, and globalist billionaires. The money laundromat!
Water cannons, tear gas, rubber bullets, and aiming the clubs at the neck, clavicle and using the stub-end solar plexus.
If Antifa want to protest and wave signs and sing, that's part of freedom of speech.
If Antifa riots, flatten them.
Actually, I'm surprised German police didn't allow Antifa to lynch or beat up AfD-politicians.
Here, when the filth called "Palestinians" and their dhimmi useful idiots hold daily protests, police ignore them assaulting even MPs if they are of the "wrong" party, or appear to be Jews, or just ask the police why they allow the filth to spit at and attack journalists documenting the typically "Palestinian" behaviour.
But I'm willing to lay even odds that next time, German police will allow Antifa to commit murder.
Thanks! I agree with you SoakerCity! Germany is our Southern neighbour and is/was the European (dis)Union's largest economy, here, where I live, in Denmark!
I see a swastika on a flag in the first photo; shouldn't the person waving it be arrested by the Constitutional Protectors for promoting a prohibited symbol?!!
I don't know German law but I think it is safe to assume the police has in its guidelines escape clauses that allow them to not act if acting would risk escalating a potentially violent situation.
Swedish police use that clause all the time to not have to do their job vis-a-vis lefties, pedohomos, and moslems when they step out of line. Including when rioting moslems pelt police and ER workers with stones and set fire to ambulances.
Stand strong! Western democracies, our nations and our peoples are facing an existential threat from globalist mass migration and technocratic lunatics.
Do you think the left was behind the mysterious deaths of 7 AfD candidates in North Rhine-Westphalia during the months leading up to the most recent election?
Your trying to reason with someone who would find a conspiracy first rather than look at the health conditions/age etc as well as ignores deaths in other parties..It will not work.. :)
WOW! That was a whole heck of a LOT of police! I imagine they had to call for reinforcements from all over to quell that “protest”.
The only chance Germany has is if the money spigot is shut off, and with its currently constituted government that cannot happen as they are chief amongst those funding it.
Honestly, I see no good outcome. Even if AfD were to win a massive majority. The rioting and rebellion would become a daily affair, and most likely escalate into greater levels of violence.
It doesn’t look good at all: Germany dies by a thousand cuts with the present government, or the country implodes should AfD ever get a majority, which in itself is afar off.
In one of the videos one could see police with «Polizei NRW» emblazoned on their backs suggesting that they had been brought in from North Rhine-Westphalia, well to the north of Gießen.
Right?! That quote gave me my first chuckle of the morning. OK, so if they arrived in a Ford Fiesta from 1994 would the retarded journalist criticize that?
Human beings are driven by incentives. Clearly the status quo of Western democracies rewards monetarily the people who opposes changes (someone smart might even suggests that if you depend economically on the State you shouldn't be allowed to vote due to conflict of interest). the fact that thousands of people have the time and the energy to go and demonstrate means they don't work enough and they live off the system. It is not political passion or idealism at all: it is just protection of unfair entitlements.
"For reporters at Frankfurter Rundschau, this video depicts AfD attendees “driving through an AfD blockade without regard for demonstrators.” You just can’t despise journalists enough."
and
According to leading German media, the leftist riots in Gießen were “overwhelmingly peaceful,” “predominantly peaceful,” featured “many” who “demonstrated peacefully” and “for a long time remained quite peaceful.”
Most (current) so-called 'journalists' deserve our contempt and derision.
Oh Pelosi, Schumer, CNN and The New York Times spewed out that the ‘Black Lives Matter’ protests in the USA were ‘mostly peaceful protests’ - even though several dozen people were killed and billions of dollars of damage was done. A psy-ops if there ever was one. The Democrats have a long way to go to dig themselves out of the hole they have dug.
I really enjoy re-reading Matt Bracken's "What I Saw at The Coup." He has some sterling ideas as to exactly where in front of the fan journalists should be positioned just before the * hits it.
I wonder at what point someone will give the commie scum the thrashing that they're begging for. Given what the consequences will be, once it starts, there will be no reason to stop.
The first one is really expensive, but after that, the rest are free. After all, if one is going to be hung for crippling one Antifa psychotic, might as well cripple a hundred of them. They can only hang someone once.
SINCE GERMANY is so enthusiastic about democracy, they ought to change the name to something like German Democratic Republic/Deutsche Demokratische Republik (GDR/DDR).
Aah yes, the STASI days (Ministerium für Staatssicherheit). You were never really alone - ever....
Are you kidding me? The STASI were pikers compared to the surveillance system today, shared between the state and the tech corporations. They know everything about you.
100% - thought crimes pr. algorithm...
(I'm forgetting I'm under 'limited reach' by X, for illustrating what Danes did to traitors at the end of WW2 German occupation, liking it to what should happen to our globalist PM)
That’s just Der Linke.
Same douchebags
Different labels
And PINK! Hahaha fags
Germany is an amazing amazingly stupid place, and I should know, I live in Canada which takes the cake: stupidity, incarnate.
I don't think Germans are stupid; there needs to be a better word for it. They have been "made stupid" as Bonhoeffer stated so well by the propaganda that permeates the world. Indoctrinated, taken by mass formation, influenced by the political undertow of "groupthink."
Echoes of this ridiculousness can be seen around the world. Here in the USA they tried an "Antifa" rebrand, trying to analogize what Antifa does with what anyone who fought against the Nazis in WWII did.

Dumbstruck that you were the only one to recognize (or admit knowing) that an ant is an animal!
A perfect example of how a dominating bully is able to intimidate an entire group into denying what is obviously true.
Imagine how much more they dominate when they don't appear to be intimidating. A three letter agency "simply is." They could make any assertions they want, and everyone is on board. Because they think "this isn't a bully, this agency did its due diligence. It vetted, checked, questioned, and experimented. There is no way they can make unilateral decisions without proper checks and balances."
LOL, riiiight....
Perhaps aided by an education system that doesn't teach the basics.
Ah, perhaps you are an older white male of heterosexual identity? Your see, your knowledge of what an "animal" is cannot be valid because you are a member of an "oppressor" group. There are other more diverse knowledges that have superseded yours. Resistance is useless.
Definitely is. I was educated on many fronts that day.
nice analogy. but now I'm curious: if not an animal, then what is an ant?
I should have asked. But I can speculate. And this will break your brain if you hear it.

I used to joke about this, but now I would think it would be also good to have that backup dictionary as you never know what words are being removed and altered in current dictionaries.
Not sure this Greek apertif and Anglo-Norman courthouse interjection qualify as English language words.
I don't know either, but they are words. If they can be found in an english dictionary, I think they are fair game as "words." Ouzo is as is oyez.
You can find ouzo on American supermarket shelves everywhere.Though to experience oyez, I suspect you would have to be a defendant in Geneva.
Consider that the English language (and Scrabble) acknowledges many foreign language loanwords in general use by English speakers. Would you disqualify words like "paparazzi" or "tofu" from scoring in Scrabble?
It only takes brain washing of ONE generation.... The experts will wear blue hair and snot locker and will be known as 'teachers'...
The masses are always ignorant and far removed from power. They are not what separates now from current generations; it is our elite who not only no longer even pretend to care about their welfare, but actively work against it.

Women took power. It’s really simple when you look at history.
This. It took four million years of hearing, “Why don’t you let me be in charge?” Four. Million. Years of progress, suddenly stopped in 2005. Nothing of any real use has occurred since 2000. We had a good run.
In male dominated fields it's not that bad (technology, engineering and finance mostly).
But on a societal standpoint it does feel like a regression for sure.
The funny thing is that with the current fertility rate, women are basically killing their own movement in the long run.
I’ve worked my life in firefighting (27 years) construction and paint (40 years includes off days from firehouse). Every time women became involved productivity dropped and camaraderie evaporated. Officer safety was not even a thing in police work until women were allowed to join. The fact that women now say “women are allowed” tells you everything. Allowed by who? Men.

They didn’t talk about suffrage because most men didn’t even have this right in the first place (they had to earn it by being better than average in one way or another) and women were mostly dependent on men for many natural/biological reasons.
You talk about Roman and actually I think their mistake was to grant too much power to women (in many ways women were somewhat equal in the empire, at least the rich ones) and this is what led to a modification of morals/behaviour which weakened the empire (among other things of course).
I believe that Christianity as a religion was started as movement around those troubles (you can make the parallel with Romans affinity with homosexuality and pederasty). It was started as a lower class religion (only picked up by emperor and then kings much later) by weaker men as a tool to oppose the strong (warriors, merchant, etc). Unsurprisingly Christianity was largely supported by women more than men, and overtime it became a requirement for a man to be able to mate.
It is a moral framework that tries to manage the natural behaviour of both sex for mutual benefits. But it got quickly picked up by the powerful as a tool to justify legitimacy and control lower class behaviour (you can make the parallel with feminism and DEI nonsense today). In the end it became just another justification for one class to dominate the rest of the population. Since it doesn't require force it is extremely convenient as compliance is rooted in moral evaluation and the agents have self enforcing behaviour.
However I do not believe it had the benefits that our modern storytelling try to confer it.
In many ways it was an obscurantist force and it is clear that religion put a break on progress. The only "truth" allowed was what the church would tell and they had a monopoly on what we call science nowadays.
You can see this is the technological regression that happened after the Roman Empire dislocation, they afforded many "niceties" that would only start to come back around the renaissance and really took off with the Enlightenment. The rejection of the bible (and its religious enforcers) as the only source of truth is what got the ball rolling. It is not necessarily clear because for a long time you could not have a voice if you didn't swear allegiance to the church which was basically the endoctrinement arm of the rulers (kings and such).
In many ways to can make the parallel with today's society: academia overrun with women and weak men create the equivalent of scripture (meaningless social "science" studies that are mostly bullshit) that gets used by the power in place as justification for policies that hurt the lower class. Truth has become something that is relative outside of the hard science and anyone who doesn't submit to the ideology is designed as an enemy to be vanquished.
Ray N. Speaks for me. I make this point all the time.
We did it to ourselves.
I don’t blame the immigrants to Canada. Why wouldn’t they come here? Back home has a bad economy. Canada holds out hope to them for a better life. When they get here, they see it’s largely a fraud and an extortion racket: We make them take community college courses, which affords them a work permit for two years during which time they can fight and struggle to become qualified to meet our immigration qualifications. It’s a complete bullshit, education but really just a backdoor to immigration which extorts crazy money out of them for a community college course on international business, which is not worth the paper it’s written on.
Sounds just like the international student scam in Australia!
Neither Germany nor Canada are inherently stupid, but those in charge of policy are...or they're deliberate saboteurs. Since the level of stupidity is mind-boggling, I believe it is the latter, directed either by foreign nationals (China, Russia, Islam, or all three) and/or western globalists.Basically the entire Earth against middle-class westerners.
Both countries have too many submissive people. Once again their salvation will have to come from the gun-toting cowboys and gangsters of the United States.
The combination of freedoms guaranteed by the USA constitution, which includes the right to bear arms, along with two powerful elites who went against the establishment....Trump and Musk, and through them, the liberation of the executive branch and X are the only thing currently separating the USA from the rest of the western world. If any nation is to break through the globalists/foreign interests it will be the USA. We will surely assist in liberating our fellow western nations if we succeed in liberating our own. Even with Trump, Musk, the constitution, and our guns, we're still the underdog, as evidenced by Republicans not coming close to utilizing the power they currently possess controlling all three branches of government.
I have lost faith . Th3y beat down Musk and dismantled DOGE .
Trump has sacrificed the executive to the judiciary . You are spot on about the constitution. It is set up so that each of the three branches vie for power . For some reason Trump has surrendered to the courts .
Beat down Musk? No, Musk is indefatigable. The Establishment has Struck Back though, and as long as they have the corrupt judges interpreting the law and the RINO's in Congress preventing laws such as election integrity from being made, they will continue to be well entrenched and instantly take us back to the Autopen administration if they take back the presidency. However, that result is not guaranteed. It's based on enough people packing it in and sitting out the elections so that it is not too big to rig. Keep the faith; there are many years of grinding ahead. MAGA MUST keep the white house in 28, even if the midterms are lost.
It was well-known to everybody beforehand that Musk's employment would be strictly temporary. The President has authority to "hire" such consultants for only a limited time -- any longer than that, and he would have needed Senate confirmation. Trump knew better to depend on getting that, so he had Musk run his operation as high-speed, low-drag, get in and get out, and do as much damage to the Swamp as possible in that limited time. And I think he did a pretty good job. I haven't seen so many leftists limping since the Little Steel Strike Massacre in Chicago,
Legally, it appears that he is constrained to do so. I personally believe he is playing a game of rope-a-dope, waiting for one of them to overreach (and their fatal flaw is that they always overreach) -- then he will press a case through the Supreme Court in which it will have no option but to alter the playing field in his favor permanently.
I like your interpretation, ,Henry. Dear God, may you reward this man so that one day he will be rewarded with many accolades as to hoe "prescient" his observations were. Amen.
I think he has his strongest argument in sending in the troop .Both Eisenhower and JFK did it …in a Big way and few objected . He needs to do it and put the ball in the Supreme Court hands . Would they risk ruling against JFK precedent ? …would they take the risk Trump ignores them ? They have no enforcement power …My guess is they blink and stand down . They can’t risk being irrelevant and toothless
Exactly ..except we are weak too . Look at the January 6 th “ insurrection “ …no one had a weapon . In France a few years ago thousands of yellow vests showed up . I guess they thought “ showing up “ was enough .
it was all they could do. the yellow vests inspired similar protests in many other cities all over Europe.
There is a virtue in orneriness, that liberty cannot do without.
Canadian here, I agree.
Q: How do you get a bunch of Canadians out of a swimming pool ?
A: You say 'hey you Canadians, get out of the pool'
Canadians, and Westerners more generally, need to learn to start saying what they actually believe and laughing at the naked emperor.
It is strange . The west hates itself . What is happening is self imposed . This is one for the psychoanalyst. A self destructive instinct ?
Yet you don’t see this in China ..only the west .
The term widely used is “suicidal empathy”. Combine this with limitless tax money deployed to NGO’s for globalists highest priority: bring as many third-world people into the west as is possible. These globalist elite, however, are fully sheltered from the West’s new guests in their mansions and penthouses with armed private security.
‘Just read that Canada takes-the-cake for the most euthanized last year = 16,400!! - next was Netherlands at 983…..way to go Canada!
Very cost-efficient, Have people kill themselves. Nice country you got there, Canada!
Actually most that live in the Collective Waste are Mammon Worshipers, and if their money isn't there they cannot consider not complying with their authority let alone protest.
They just rend their garments and whine.
Sigh, same.
Take a ticket, Diamond Bloke. Australia is stoopider than Kanada! Forrr surrrre 😪
I know our author has likely explained such things with great insight, but I think I need to hear it again: WTF does AfD have that makes Antifa so obviously afraid? Whatever it is, I want some of it.
There's a lot of ways to answer this question. To begin with, Antifa aren't reacting organically to perceived threats, they're being funded and organised by major political parties, their apron organisations and NGOs. Antifa get sent out against the AfD, because the AfD is a common cause for the entire German left. A common enemy to rail against has never been more important than now, when the left is increasingly scattered across different issues (Palestine, climate, social justice, etc.). Finally, there's the fact that the AfD is strong and getting stronger, and this threatens prevailing relationships among the establishment parties that keep the left side of the spectrum relevant, in power and paid.
And no-one needs reminding of what communist gangs assaulting other political parties and "the wrong kind of communists" led to a century ago.
I don't there's a question if AfD - with tacit and later open support from police/military - will form Freikorps to guard their representatives in the future.
A large part of the entire idea of Antifa - and I know from personal experience - is to drive the opponent into becoming the scarecrow Antifa claims to be fighting in the first place.
Sooo a plurality of the German electorate is being propagandized against a scapegoated other. How novel.
Once enough Germans understand this they will be more likely to support AfD. I only hope when (not if) they take power their leaders remember this violence and thuggery, and serve justice on leftists and their sponsors.
As the AFD get stronger, perhaps this instance will provide for them to grow ever stronger.
There is significant political power created when a common enemy is named and a campaign organises to amplify the power. Imho
So, this is liberal fighting liberal?
I was getting confused by the 2 groups fighting each other. It’s very similar to gang wars.
It's not "very similar to gang wars", it IS a gang war.
It's not a war if only one side is fighting. If only AfD had its own paramilitary enforcers.
Ah, so it’s apparently not something concrete in the AfD’s ideology. It’s some vague tribal/identitarian crap, it would seem.
I would love to see something like this happen in Australia. Some right leaning political movement drawing in hundreds of young Zoomers and millenials (predominatly men) with thousands of deranged leftists screaming in protest. Things are getting pretty dire here. The remnants of what was once our great Australian way of life is rotting away like fruit just left to fall on the ground and rot.

The potential irony? I have little doubt that our(American) National Endowment for Democracy if funding this crap...
https://www.usaspending.gov/search?hash=82a5982a976643b88deeef96c17a4a4e
And God only knows what other American / EU / UK agencies, NGOs, foundations, nonprofits, multilateral organizations, and globalist billionaires. The money laundromat!
I can only hope that Big Marco has cut off that spigot.
Water cannons, tear gas, rubber bullets, and aiming the clubs at the neck, clavicle and using the stub-end solar plexus.
If Antifa want to protest and wave signs and sing, that's part of freedom of speech.
If Antifa riots, flatten them.
Actually, I'm surprised German police didn't allow Antifa to lynch or beat up AfD-politicians.
Here, when the filth called "Palestinians" and their dhimmi useful idiots hold daily protests, police ignore them assaulting even MPs if they are of the "wrong" party, or appear to be Jews, or just ask the police why they allow the filth to spit at and attack journalists documenting the typically "Palestinian" behaviour.
But I'm willing to lay even odds that next time, German police will allow Antifa to commit murder.
'Actually, I'm surprised German police didn't allow Antifa to lynch or beat up AfD-politicians.'
Me too.
But it appears they brought umbrellas.
Thanks for keeping us informed.
Thanks! I agree with you SoakerCity! Germany is our Southern neighbour and is/was the European (dis)Union's largest economy, here, where I live, in Denmark!
I see a swastika on a flag in the first photo; shouldn't the person waving it be arrested by the Constitutional Protectors for promoting a prohibited symbol?!!
Rules for thee but not for me
I don't know German law but I think it is safe to assume the police has in its guidelines escape clauses that allow them to not act if acting would risk escalating a potentially violent situation.
Swedish police use that clause all the time to not have to do their job vis-a-vis lefties, pedohomos, and moslems when they step out of line. Including when rioting moslems pelt police and ER workers with stones and set fire to ambulances.
I was wondering the same.
Stand strong! Western democracies, our nations and our peoples are facing an existential threat from globalist mass migration and technocratic lunatics.
Is it legal for AfD to hire private security?
Do you think the left was behind the mysterious deaths of 7 AfD candidates in North Rhine-Westphalia during the months leading up to the most recent election?
Considering the sheer volume of such electorate candidates and their age, it’s more likely they passed of old age.
Your trying to reason with someone who would find a conspiracy first rather than look at the health conditions/age etc as well as ignores deaths in other parties..It will not work.. :)
WOW! That was a whole heck of a LOT of police! I imagine they had to call for reinforcements from all over to quell that “protest”.
The only chance Germany has is if the money spigot is shut off, and with its currently constituted government that cannot happen as they are chief amongst those funding it.
Honestly, I see no good outcome. Even if AfD were to win a massive majority. The rioting and rebellion would become a daily affair, and most likely escalate into greater levels of violence.
It doesn’t look good at all: Germany dies by a thousand cuts with the present government, or the country implodes should AfD ever get a majority, which in itself is afar off.
Truly tragic, sad and scary.
In one of the videos one could see police with «Polizei NRW» emblazoned on their backs suggesting that they had been brought in from North Rhine-Westphalia, well to the north of Gießen.
You know what they say: one day it's black limousines, the next day —— trains!!
Right?! That quote gave me my first chuckle of the morning. OK, so if they arrived in a Ford Fiesta from 1994 would the retarded journalist criticize that?
Human beings are driven by incentives. Clearly the status quo of Western democracies rewards monetarily the people who opposes changes (someone smart might even suggests that if you depend economically on the State you shouldn't be allowed to vote due to conflict of interest). the fact that thousands of people have the time and the energy to go and demonstrate means they don't work enough and they live off the system. It is not political passion or idealism at all: it is just protection of unfair entitlements.
universal voting and democracy have proven not to mix well
The state coffers are used to pay off the allies of those in power. There is no such thing as "unfair".
You want to stop their money because they are your political enemies. Or you are too weak to reward your allies. - This is what those people think.
Two of my favorite quotes from this article:
"For reporters at Frankfurter Rundschau, this video depicts AfD attendees “driving through an AfD blockade without regard for demonstrators.” You just can’t despise journalists enough."
and
According to leading German media, the leftist riots in Gießen were “overwhelmingly peaceful,” “predominantly peaceful,” featured “many” who “demonstrated peacefully” and “for a long time remained quite peaceful.”
Most (current) so-called 'journalists' deserve our contempt and derision.
Oh Pelosi, Schumer, CNN and The New York Times spewed out that the ‘Black Lives Matter’ protests in the USA were ‘mostly peaceful protests’ - even though several dozen people were killed and billions of dollars of damage was done. A psy-ops if there ever was one. The Democrats have a long way to go to dig themselves out of the hole they have dug.
I really enjoy re-reading Matt Bracken's "What I Saw at The Coup." He has some sterling ideas as to exactly where in front of the fan journalists should be positioned just before the * hits it.

*Their* fuggalo, at any rate, if not necessarily ours as well.
I wonder at what point someone will give the commie scum the thrashing that they're begging for. Given what the consequences will be, once it starts, there will be no reason to stop.
The first one is really expensive, but after that, the rest are free. After all, if one is going to be hung for crippling one Antifa psychotic, might as well cripple a hundred of them. They can only hang someone once.
"At impromptu checkpoints, rioters demanded credentials of all who approached them, allowing only fellow travellers to pass."
So these "anti-fascists" were requiring passersby to show "your papers, please."
Oh, the irony.
They ARE what they claim to oppose.
Don't forget their breaking the window glass of automobiles.
You would think someone would notice that is bad optics for "Nazi fighters," but ... no.
It's pretty much a requirement on the left that you must exhibit serious projection to be a leftie in good standing.
