^ About Islam in Germany it should be noted that a few days ago I read somewhere, I can't remember where, that most the Christian churches that are being abandoned and sold in grpowing numbers have for some time been bought and rededicated predominantly by one group of buyers: Islamic communities. These form the largest group of buyers! Symbolically a devastating signal, because this is the absolute triumph of Islam over its adversaries, when it even claims their own God's houses for itself. In terms of the weight of meaning, this corresponds roughly to the erection of towers as a sign of the authorities' claim to power in times gone by.

Otherwise, the writing is on the wall. In the decline of schools and the disrespect for the value of general education. In the replacement of education with leftist, politically correct ideology in schools and universities. In the slow-motion collapse of the monetary system, which is increasingly being deformed into an instrument of oppression, surveillance and control. The behavior of the state in the Corona “epidemic”. The loss of military resilience. The degeneration of modern art (yes, I use the bad word...), the infantilization of artistic performance standards, and their degenerate perversion, which blatantly serves only the orgasmic satisfaction of pleasure on more and more stages. The demographically induced self-extinction. The exodus of ever larger parts of key industries. The sexual disinhibition, the denmial of basic natural standards undeniably defined by genetics and biochemistry. The destruction of family as the constellation of female mother, male father, young child. The commercial decline and desolation of city centers. The establishment of parallel societies and their social and even legal rules, alongside the state and local traditions. The erosion of infrastructure. The debt world war. The ever more fragmented harassment of citizens with bureaucracy and extortion. The increasingly blatant sanctioning of unpopular expressions of opinion. The terror of energy policy. The ever more homogenized political spectrum of choices. The delegitimization of patriotism and the denigration of one's own historically grown cultural identity, and its replacement by a universalistic, non-discriminatory identity featuring an arbitrarily designed non-discriminatory artificial image of humanity from the - ultimately Leninist - ideology laboratory. The accumulation of more and more power in fewer and fewer hands. The accumulation of control over the essential foundations of life in the hands of uncontrolled greed for profit. The transformation of capitalist free markets into monopolies. The politically correct attitude replaces the ability, the professional competence, the scrounging replaces the willingness to perform. The education crisis. The collapse of bridges and railroads.

The more individuality is demanded, the more specialized particular interests are formulated by ever smaller fractioned minorities, the greater the fragmentation, the less the unifying effect of a shared sense of belonging, the less significant shared culture and shared identity become, and instead there is even more and more antagonism and competition. In the end, everyone stands alone. Or translated: one falls after the other. The weak first, the strong last.

The writing is on every wall.I see nothing encouraging.

Germany, France (where there are Islamic attacks on at least one church every day), Sweden (where a head of government told the astonished Swedes a few years ago that Sweden no longer belonged to the Swedes, but to the foreigners who were coming), England, and of course: Brussels and the nightmare that is the EU: a corrupt criminal cartel, a syndicate of organized crime that hides behind a brutal fighting smile while spouting poisonous lies and twisting the garrots tighter and tighter around our necks, making itself unassailable to criticism by always wearing an ice-cold smiling mask.

And just btw, I think Musk does not know the AfD very well. That I defend him this time doe snot mean I agree with his views of what the AfD is. But he set the correct bigger diagnosis. Whether it is good style to interfere this directly with another nations election campaign, is something else - it quite Russian doing what he does, isn't it. On the other hand Europe is lecturing the US on many other opportunities as well, so maybe we count it as a draw... But I never denied the big entertaining value of the Trumpists.

In order to develop an inner attitude that can bear all this, it is essential to recognize that what is happening is actually happening indeed, and to understand that we as individuals have little influence in the span of our lives. We must learn to think again in longer time frames than just legislative periods and annual balance sheets - or our life span. We have to learn again to be less influenced by our delusions of individuality and more by being connected to longer-lasting, generation-spanning processes.

The construction of a cathedral, for example, used to be a mission that shaped the cityscape for generations, for centuries. Today, the attention span extends at best as far as planning one's own career steps - and after you, the deluge.

Let us be realistic. Let us renounce our loyalty to a corrupt state that betrays and deceives us. Let us realize that we will only be helped to the extent that we learn to help ourselves - against the fierce resistance of the state. Let us keep our distance, create alternative care structures and social connections where we can. The only thing that can apply to the present is to need others as little as possible and to remain loyal and faithful to our own. No matter what the cost. The times will be bitter, the loss of freedom total. You don't want to have to tell your children that - and yet: from some age on they need to know.
