Would you like a little entertainment from the shithole that is Germany? A petition has just been launched, which tens of thousands of people have already signed, to persuade the former green-socialist Economics Minister Robert Habeck, the man responsible for the destruction of Germany as a business location, to remain active in politics after he announced his resignation from future leading positions. What is going on in the minds of a people who are submitting to communists and are being led into economic disaster by psychopaths and degenerates with their eyes open?

GM,
Over the last 48 hours, I have allowed myself the ''pleasure'' of analyzing the German media once again, which used to be my job for over 25 years. I don't need to report on this terrible and grotesque experience in detail, but everyone knows what has happened since 1968: the ultra-left has successfully completed its march through the institutions and into the media. Everything is infiltrated with the infantile and ethically disenchanted, radical left-wing and corrosive ideas that know only one target vector: bourgeois society!
Their immense success was reflected in the growth of the bureaucratic welfare state, which is a kind of front organization of left-wing parties and whose growth has only one goal: to bring as many people as possible under control in order to weaken the bourgeois forces striving for freedom and autonomy.
In their shrill triumphal procession, however, the left has made a crucial mistake. They have forgotten a perfectly valid point on their agenda, their founding myth of the industrial era, that of discusing the temporarily emerging poverty of the masses, which libertarians would fight with the means of the free market and personal responsibility. This has been the focus of their ideology and their political aspirations, it has been their natural political battlefield on which their were nearly unbeaten.
But success makes you sluggish. Physically and intellectually. In their sense of triumph and superiority, they have driven the wedges into society that we have come to know as gender politics, DEI, ESG or green rainbow Stalinism, thus discrediting themselves intellectually. The great awakening on the conservative side has begun and Donald Trump's administration is showing that it has understood what needs to be done now: they must begin the long march through the institutions, right into the media, just as their left-wing counterparts once successfully did. This will not happen without massive resistance, as we know from the 1970s and 1980s, but it will lead us in this direction and will certainly give us libertarians repeated opportunities to weave our points into the fabric of conservative politics.
We are facing a serious process of transformation, the resurgence of bourgeois values, the bourgeois family, and all of this is taking place against a backdrop of the highest levels of national debt and progressed implementation of the basic principles of a socialist economy, which has severely damaged the economic fabric of the West. All of this will be accompanied by the sudden bursting of left-wing green dream bubbles and the fall of the illusion of social security, provided by an overstretched welfare state. Millions chained into state subservience will see the narrative of the last 10 years, the man-made climate change, the pandemics that are supposed to sweep us away, senseless wars that are nothing more than money laundering and credit pumping, shatter before their eyes.
In these moments of emerging frictions, of breaking narratives and illusions, we libertarians must offer our civilizationally superior tools, transplant them into the zeitgeist to achieve at least a modicum of progress. Implementing the entire libertarian agenda is more than illusory in view of the behavior of the masses, who will grasp at any straw that promises them a sip from the milkshake of warming collectivism.
We must succeed in describing a path of evolution in our society, at the end of which social progress is also characterized as the emergence of individual dignity and independence as something that is more than just the acquisition of new purchasing power: it is the victory of personal dignity over the lowlands of the collectivist herd mentality.

Europe’s Middle Class Faces New Burden as Germany Eyes Massive Defense Spending Boost
Incoming german Chancellor Friedrich Merz has kicked off high-stakes talks with the Social Democrats (SPD), the likely coalition partner, to secure up to €200 billion in fresh defense spending. Sources close to the matter, cited by Bloomberg, reveal that the CDU and SPD are exploring creative ways to sidestep constitutional limits on public debt. One potential maneuver: rushing the funds through the outgoing parliament before the new one takes shape on March 24.
This pivot isn’t a shock. With the U.S. stepping back from bankrolling Ukraine’s war effort, Europe’s power players are scrambling to fill the gap. Germany’s gambit signals a seismic shift—and it’s the continent’s middle class that could end up footing the bill. As budgets tighten and priorities tilt toward military might, the strain on everyday Europeans is set to intensify.

Europe Lost Control Over The US
The fact that, after France's President Emmanuel Macron, his English colleague Keir Starmer has now traveled to the White House in Washington to convince Donald Trump that it must be in the interests of the Americans to actively intervene in the war in Ukraine shows just how distressed and panicked the Europeans are at the moment. They are well aware that they will not succeed in convincing the USA to get involved at a low level and are now faced with the ruins of their own geopolitical contortions.
The fact that Germany, the economic heavyweight of the European Union, once again had to report recessionary figures for its economy today is further deepening the worry lines of decision-makers in London, Brussels, Berlin and Paris. Wanting to escalate a kinetic conflict with Russia, and ignoring the fact that, both militarily and in terms of energy policy, Russia cannot be taken seriously against energy-rich Russia, is one of the biggest historical mistakes of the past 100 years. Looking at the catastrophic fiscal situation of the EU, the economic disintegration of the eurozone, the smouldering de-industrialization and recession, one can assume that the Europeans will soon focus on their domestic problems and a new major financial crisis.
While the Americans are dealing with their fiscal problems and repairing the damage of the past few years, it can be seen that the Europeans have lost control of Washington. the tail is no longer wagging the dog.

Germaneconomy Drags Europe Down
For the mainstream media, the news comes as a surprise as always: the German economy also ended last year in recession, with the overall economy down 0.2%, which means that the private sector must have shrunk by at least 3%, considering that government demand has been massively expanded and now accounts for half of the economy.
If we now take into account the fact that over half a million migrants enter the country illegally every year, the gross domestic product per capita has shrunk even more, Germany finds itself economically trapped, its social systems overstretched, the sanctions against Russia will finish off this economy..
Germany has maneuvered itself into an energy crisis with its eyes wide open by shutting down the nuclear power plants and blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline. Sanctioning the biggest gas supplier didn't really help either. Yesterday we learned from the new German Chancellor Friedrich Merz that of course nothing will be changed: nobody intends to control the borders, centralization in Brussels is to continue and of course Ukraine must win this war, no matter how many Ukrainians are sacrificed.
On the same day, Spain's communist Prime Minister Sanchez sent the next billion euros of taxpayers' money to Ukraine. It is a disgrace that there is no shame in plundering the poorer European southern states in order to keep Ukraine's major guarantor, England, solvent. After the disastrous election in Germany, it's clear what the Europeans are in favor of: stealing from the state on a whole new level, plundering the middle class to keep left-wing ideologies and infantile dream bubbles alive.
We will have to talk about the general guarantee of the Ukrainian national debt by the Bank of England at a later date
