How the German government collapsed and what will happen now

Many asked me for my thoughts on the end of the traffic light. Here are all the tiresome and depressing details:

eugyppius.com/p/how-the-germ… Contrary to what charlatans like Peter Sweden claim, this is not a new extension of the MAGA revolution. Scholz's government fell apart because of internal ideological contradictions, and because they ran out of money to spend on dem projects.

East Germany is not 'far right.' They're voting for right-leaning populist parties at basically the same rate as the French and the Italians. They're normal.

It's the West Germans who are the anomaly. These theses about the German past are very enticing, I get it. Scratch a German and he must be a Nazi!
Super compelling for ret@rds whose historical vision stops at 1933. Newsflash: National Socialism was a thing for 12 years. It ended 79 years ago.

Since July, all plastic bottles sold in EU must have tethered caps – they remain attached after unsrewing and interfere obnoxiously with attempts to drink. This is to save the oceans, altho Europe contributes almost no plastic waste to the seas. The big source is Asia. Retrofitting bottle factories to manufacture the new caps is estimated to have cost millions of Euros. They also, ironically, tend to use somewhat more plastic. Packings experts/engineers have told the press multiple times that this will achieve nothing & merely annoy people.

Disorderly "refugees" turn Erfurt commuter rail line into a daily hell of physical assaults, threats & fights; police respond by offering special classes on "railway rules" and "German customs"

eugyppius.com/p/disorderly-r… Apparently not stabbing and spitting on train conductors is a peculiar central European cultural norm unknown to our guests from Syria, Afghanistan and Turkey.

Finally, in Germany anyway, we come to learn what was pandemic.

Lockdowns and other measures were not a rational response to dangerous virus; rather, a dangerous virus was socially & culturally constructed to justify the shiny new policy toy of lockdowns and other measures. Maybe there were a few weeks in March where FlaTTenInG tHe CuRvE and related idiocy were a genuine goal. Thereafter exaggerating the curve became the order of the day, to rationalise their insane restrictions.

RKI protocols reveal pandemic managers providing "fictitiously accurate" R-values and overstating Covid risk on the explicit directions of their political overseers in the Health Ministry

eugyppius.com/p/rki-protocol… The political fallout from the RKI document release continues. At issue are 2,500 pages of agendas and minutes from the daily meetings of the "covid crisis team" between January 2020 and April 2021.

Witchcraft has long been hobby interest of mine, I read many trial documents and much academic literature too. In general response to various replies:

1) Witch-hunting in Europe is basically unknown before 1400; it reaches an apex in 17th c. and declines rapidly thereafter. 2) The witches of these hunts are typically older widowed or single femael peasants who are first denounced by relatives or neighbours. Many of them seem to have been operating side business in divination, folk healing, etc.

In the latest victory against right-wing extremism, police officers pull a 16 year-old girl out of chemistry class and advise her to stop posting Smurf-themed AfD-friendly content to TikTok

eugyppius.com/p/in-the-lates… As I posted last month, Germany is in the midst of an unusual hysterical paroxysm over RiGhT-WiNG EXtReMisM. Cabinet ministers have announced plans to restrict the speech, travel and economic activity of those with inconvenient opinions.

Bizarre hypervaccinator from Magdeburg receives 217 Covid jabs over 29 months, finally achieves antibody levels necessary to prevent infection

eugyppius.com/p/bizarre-hype… This story is making the rounds after a case study appeared in The Lancet on Monday. Some lunatic German allegedly got himself jabbed 217 times for unclear "personal reasons." So much about the story is bizarre and doesn't make any sense.

I never tire of making this point.
Climate policy is a bizarre attempt to apply regional solutions to a claimed GlOBaL PrOBlEm, with the result that we merely move this ProBlEm around, destroying national economies while emissions and fossil fuel production increase undeterred Carbon taxes and regulatory restrictions merely cause emissions-intensive industries to decamp overseas, where they can emit even more intensely. Market forces, meanwhile, ensure that regional restrictions on fossil fuel consumption are almost perfectly offset abroad.

Authoritarian politics in postwar Europe, or: Why fascism is a bad way to describe what is happening in Germany

eugyppius.com/p/authoritaria… Probably the most common comment to this piece, is the remark that the authoritarian turn in German politics is in some way a re-manifestation of pre-1945 "fascism." I get why people say this but it's serious analytical error.

All organisms, whether biological or political, must maintain effective borders between themselves and the external environment. The alternative is dying. Insofar as the liberal West prefers infinity migration to elementary border security, it is opting to kill itself. In 2020, contrary to many of their claims, our states proved they could in fact close the borders to stop a virus. And stopping migration would be vastly less logistically complex than housing, feeding and striving impotently to InTeGrAtE all the migrants.

After reading an incredible amount of material since Christmas, I have to come to some basic conclusions about this case:

1) The Ramseys hire lawyers in the hours after JonBenét's body is discovered, at which point all their statements become untextured and unhelpful. This why a rigid, disciplined focus on the early events before 1pm on 26 December is so helpful. You want to pay attention to what the Ramseys do and say then. Everything afterwards is publicity and only important insofar as studying changing narratives can be helpful.

The bizarre campaign to vaccinate German children against the recommendations of regulators and in the absence of all evidence
eugyppius.com/p/the-bizarre-… With much help from @Quo_vadis_BRD, I can now add considerable context to yesterday's post/thread on why German politicians were so eager to vaccinate children in 2021, and why they are lying about it now.

The very same Europe that stopped travel over a virus cannot close its borders against the global south, even as the failure to do so threatens the viability of establishment parties and the EU itself

eugyppius.com/p/the-very-sam… EU + Switzlerland + Norway are on track to meet or exceed the 2016 record of 1.23 million asylum applications in a single year. Despite mounting pressure, the EU has done nothing beyond tepid reforms to fast-track some asylum applications outside of Europe.

on the left is Markus Blume, Bavarian Science Minister; on the right is Luise Neubauer, Fridays for Future activist in German and establishment darling.

last Wednesday, they had a revealing spat about German energy policy on a state media talkshow (Maischberger): Image Blume stated the obvious, namely that Germany has become a net electricity importer since phasing out nuclear in 2023, and that a good part of the energy we’re importing is … French nuclear power, which is also the only reason we’re not facing another crisis this winter.

What would massively help this, is if schoolmarms like you would stop scolding people and let men cultivate their natural misogynistic tendencies. Your liberal social engineering bullshit is a cancer. How men are – prior to your corrective vision – is how men need to be. There must be, in regards to all things, a massively greater respect for how things fucking are, and how people already fucking act and feel, and a massively greater impatience with ideas for how education and stoopid femael scolding might change them to be some other way.

There is a whole (especially American) political discourse, which strives to relocate the causes of crime and other social problems from the racial/ethnic groups who are actually responsible for this disorder, to features of urban planning and design. Why aren't US cities more like European ones? "Well," the line goes, "we don't have enough bike lanes." What makes this discourse especially ironic, is the fact that the alleged deficiencies of American urbanism are a *response* to racial crime & disorder.

Flaco is Eurasian eagle owl & birb of power who arrived at Central Park Zoo as young birbling.

He spent first 12 years of his life in cage with stupid fake rocks & token branches. Then unidentified vandals, possibly hired by Falco, opened a hole in his cage. Image Flaco was escaep through hole, and efforts over weeks by park schoolmarms and related reta@rds to recapture him failed.
Here Flaco stands near one of the many Flacotraps that did nothing to stop him. Image

You want extreme right-wing ideas? Here I give you some,which are not laughable sw@stika N@zi kitsch 80 years old.
Extreme right scepticism of equality & recognition that humans not equal, that they develop hierarchical structures in which some are better & more important. It is recognition that this is inherent, and natural. The understanding that Nature – not artificial and arbitrary SoCiAL ConStrUCtS – determine parameters of human society, whether this is acknowledge or not.

The western pandemic response was a political pathology. Any reasonable autocrat would have stopped it. And yet nobody in our diseased state systems could prevent from happening, because of the irrational, complicated, illegible mechanisms which rule us. As a metaphor for Western government, imagine that the state is a high-rise building of 80 floors. The top two floors are the formally elected, formally empowered politicians. Beneath them are 78 floors of typists, who type out directives to the distributed actors of the state.
