With legal, politically oppositional, grass root actions this cannot be stopped, the determination of the enemy is far too strong to not get himself stopped and to play foul if need be. It demands collective civil disobedience on a scale unprecedented and unimaginable.

Thats why it will not happen, and all the bad stuff will come.

Nevertheless, the people will have nobody else to complain to than themselves. A people that allows politicians to own it and to impose the will of the few on the many, agree to serfdom and continuous loss of freedom and dignity.

Guess that as a whole our society deserves what is coming. Voluntarily give up upright walk and instead squirm like a worm - don't complain when you're stepped on and get smashed. It would be up to us to send all these lifetime career politicians and functionaries to hell. Its feudalism in disguise, and always was.

I dont get it, after almost 40 years as a grown up adult, why people still put their trust and belief in parties and politicians. Its as if they all got their brains extracted, and all memroies of the last betrayal after elections being removed by drugs in the tap water. Their trust and confidence and goodwilligness towards parties and politicians I have never had, from beginning on, I always saw and focussed on the risk and the malicous temptation, and assessed this as the greatest danger and threat, which does not allow any trust in politicians and parties. All in all I was so far always confirmed. And I have already formulated and written such opinions at school in the last three years (to the annoyance of my - civil servant (=verbeamtet) - teachers whom I suually liked quite much but who as civil servants profited directly from this system, of course. I do not weants chools under ideological state control, I can see too clearly in Germany where this leads, its by now totally messy). For a while I still believed in the legitimacy of taxes as an adult, but I was inconsistent there, and I also overcame this inner argumentative contradiction maybe 15 years ago at the latest - last but not least Subsim forum discussions played a large part in this.
I dont understand this still widespread tolerance for parties and politicians. They both are a plague.

That’s because people have been groomed to believe it’s only the other guys party that’s the problem.

Poor relations between France and Germany are slowing down key decisions in the EU including deals on defence in Ukraine and trade, an influential German MEP has claimed.

David McAllister, chair of the European parliament’s foreign affairs committee and a key figure in the opposition Christian Democrats party, says he is concerned that the lack of contact between the chancellor, Olaf Scholz, and the French president, Emmanuel Macron, is causing delays on key decisions on battle tanks and fighter jets, and a future trade deal with Latin America.

“At the moment we’re seeing a remarkable lack of internal coordination between Paris and Berlin. And that is not good,” said McAllister.

He said the Franco-German relationship, long considered the driving force of the EU, was not “everything in Europe” but that without cooperation between the two countries “things don’t work”.

“In the end, Paris and Berlin need to agree to smooth things … and this is where I criticise the German government. I don’t think we have seen such little cooperation between Paris and Berlin as we are witnessing at the moment,” he added.
