And when the bill arrives it now contains more details about my electrical usage and how I compare to similar homes. Thanks to this new tech I can actually review and use this information on my bill to make changes and help reduce costs. I like it.

There is one decisive difference. My country planned for and executes the deliberate destabilisation of the powergrid, and mulls laws that allow to switch off households completely, it appeases the green crowd with claimed reneweable energy revolution and knows at the same time that it can an will never work - the government secretely builds maior powerlines additional to the existing ones to neighbourign countries so that we can buy the power from them that we refuse to produce any longer ourselves: we have voluntarily been decided by our government to abandon nuclear power (made in germany, which was once considered security leader in the nukclear business). Our Greens also deliberately want to shut down the few cold-black-start capable powerplants we still have, which already have been drastically reduced in numbers. These are needed in order to go online again if our powergrid ever suffers a nationwide blackout.

All for the precious iullusion that we will be fully on renewable energy. Its just that there is no way around the laws of physics, and the relation between supply and demand.

Stupid self-damaging without need. And an insane annihilation of money and plundering of private households. The industry is being saved from these measures. Thew more sun and the more wind on a day, the more renewable energy beign priduced - the more expensive electricty is for private households over here, its demanded and wanted so by current laws. Make sense of that, if you can. You see, every year I save a little bit more of electricity in my yearly total - and every year I pay significantly more, although every more reneweable energy is being produced. Strange, eh? Its no market going defunct by itself - its a market regulated by intention to go defunct. Defunctionality is the goal.


If judging this all by the final effect only, one would need to conclude that this is a secret FSB operation to destroy the economy of Germany and destabilise civil society...

Good to know that the German Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief (BBK) knows how to prepare for the case of cases. They posted this:

I am warning of frequency instabilities in the continental powergrid since years. As I just read, on January 8th this year there has been a major and very serious incident that brought Europe close to the brink of a total blackout. Frenquency instabilities in the south-east (Romania, Greece, Balkan, Turkey) had led to self-reinforcing fluctuating spikes that resulted in a huge - physically sufficiently huge - differences in should-be frequences of the powergrids in these areas (in Europoe it shoukd be 50 Hz), and the rest of Europe. In Austria in the main, but also in some other countries, emergency powernetworks and even generators in institutions sprang to life, supplying hospitals in the Vienna region and the airport of Vienna. The power supply fragmentised across several nations. The result could have turned into a total blackout. Desperate work as well as a good dose of luck allowed us to escape once again.



Hospitals store Diesle reserves for up to a low number sof days only, so do some powerplanbts,w but by far not all.

It has not been the first event of this kind in the past ten years, but often the centre of origin is located in germany with its great energy revolution thing, not the periphery. The frequences of such events per year is rising since over a decade.

Its not just about keeping Volts and Amperes constant, people forget that electricity gets defined by a third variable as well': Hertz. And that is the one giving us the most troubles, due to the ammoutns of powre being send back and forth across the kjntegrated powergrid across all of Europe (the biggest of this kind worldwide).


Its a stupid design, I think since years. Modular and regional autarky is better.


The growing risk of a continental blackout is the main reason why I started to prep already some years ago.

Not war, not meteors, not pandemics were my main concerns, but a major power blackouts.

And the danger becomes bigger every year.

A separation of the continetal powergrid like happened some days ago, happened the first time in 2006. 10 million households had to be shut down in emergency to prevent continental failure of the powergrid in November 2006 due to different electricty frequency in various parts of the net.

If the grid goes offline for too long, after some hours or up to two days it cannot be just relaunched by a pressing of a button anymore. Powerblocks cool down, need external energy then to get warmed up again, need external energy to fire up the powerblock when it was down for too long. Powercells like islands border eahc other and need to feed each other for relaunch, of these in german y there are over 400 such power islands. If you have no cold-and-black-launch-capable powerplants, you need xternal energy resosduces first making it to a givne plantÄ'S locaiton b y switching lal such islands on again from there to here. Andn thats last 6-18 hours per such "island". Now you may get an idea why a lasting blackpout that cools down the whol powergrid would need days and weeks to switch on again.

And sweet water supply, toilet flushing and all that, could be offline evenb after 2-3 weeks after power was restroed if the powergrid was down for 1 week or so. The pipes were dried, are infested with germs, need to be cleaned before drinkable water can be transported by them again. Lac of electriocity always means lack of water supply as well.


Its a major desaster scenario, as bad as war.

Especially the highly qualified are turning their backs on Germany


Yesterday I took a look at the qualifications of the next generation: the fatal consequences of lowering educational standards in combination with a failed migration and integration policy.
But that's not all. Germany has been losing residents for years. Especially the highly qualified are turning their backs on Germany , as the WELT headlines:

• " According to the current migration report of the federal government, around 58,000 more German citizens left the country permanently than moved here. This so-called net migration results from subtracting permanent emigration (270,294) from immigration (212,669). The data from the Federal Statistical Office, to which the Federal Government refers in its migration report, has shown a negative balance since 2005: more German citizens emigrate than move into the country . “- bto : I have repeatedly asked to take this aspect seriously and to work on the framework conditions so that more people stay in Germany.
• “ In the current migration report it says about this statistical peculiarity: 'Taking out the persons included in the process of expulsion who are registered in the immigration statistics as immigration of Germans , the migration balance of German nationals has been negative since the 1980s . Taking into account the late repatriate influx, however, the migration balance was positive up to 2004. '“- bto : So it was the repatriates who improved the numbers. For over thirty years we have had Germans born here and - so my strong assumption - a brain drain.
• “ In the four years up to the end of 2019, a total of 335,787 more German citizens moved away than they came in (1,062,737 emigrants and 726,950 immigrants). However, the increase is strongly related to a change in the way in which the Federal Statistical Office collected data: Up until 2015, only those people were counted as emigrants who de-registered from a new address abroad in this country. (…) Since then, statisticians have assumed that people who have registered here but not registered again anywhere else in Germany have moved abroad. Because it is unlikely that large numbers of Germans will not register at their new place of residence after moving within Germany , the new survey method is also considered more reliable by the Federal Institute for Population Research. “- bto : translated - probably more people emigrated in previous years.
• “ The loss of migration of 336,000 Germans in the past four years and the more than 3.6 million citizens who died were compared to only 2.4 million births of mothers with German citizenship. So Germany loses several hundred thousand citizens every year due to excess deaths and emigration . However, this is more than offset by high levels of immigration. According to the migration report, the migration surplus of non-Germans in 2019 was 385,000 (1.3 million immigrants and 960,000 emigrations). In the previous year, the surplus was significantly higher, namely at 460,000 . “- bto: The politicians would then say: “It’s okay.” We’re becoming more multicultural, more colorful - all good. The only problem is, as discussed yesterday, that our education tends to deteriorate and that the education system cannot correct this, even if it were better.
• "(...) The migration report makes statements about the composition of the immigrant groups, according to which in 2019 around a third of the migration balance was accounted for by citizens of other EU countries (113,000), another third by humanitarian immigration (126,000) and the remaining third by non-EU countries. Citizens who immigrated with work, family reunification or other visas . The nationalities with the highest net migration in 2019 were Romania (40,000), Syria (24,000), Turkey (21,000), India and Bulgaria (20,000 each). “- bto: We know from PISA studies that the performance level in these countries is significantly below that here. Indian immigrants can be the exception because traditionally a lot of IT specialists come here. So you don't have to calculate too much to see that there is a decline in qualifications, which we as an aging industrial society cannot afford.
• “ The Federal Institute for Population Research presented study results last year with regard to the qualification level of Germans who were leaving. As a result, around three quarters of those who emigrated had a university degree - in the population that is only a good quarter. For example, there is a disproportionately large number of emigrants with a master's or doctorate degree, while people with a high school or lower school leaving certificate are underrepresented . (Also, they were) mostly young. On average, they are 37 years old and thus around ten years younger than the general population . “- bto: This is a top-class brain drain and it is a shame that this is not becoming a top political issue.

One can only conclude that we are ruining the very foundations of our prosperity at a tremendous rate.

Under Fire - how the german police gets primed to fail necessarily due to unsound training and idiotic ideology demands.

The author is instructor and trainer with the police.

Under Fire - The Fleeing of the Policewomen


When the drug dealer Vitalij K. (37) suddenly opened fire on several police officers during a routine vehicle check and injured a police officer, the two police officers who were on duty ran away headless. One officer: "My colleague just yelled: Get out of here! Run Run! ”The two armed women ran away without bothering about their injured comrade who was lying on the street.

Those who closely follow social networks and media will come across scenes in which female police officers are beaten up during physical confrontations. Other videos show female police officers who act “unhappy” next to their male colleagues, or who are simply negated by people from archaic cultures. The former, widespread saying that perpetrators had “anti-bite resistance” towards women in uniform describes at best the past. The increasing brutality affects both female and male police officers.

Another additional burden is the now cultivated general suspicion that the police are violent, right-wing extremist or racist. Some state interior ministers show a remarkable level of action in this regard and set up all sorts of anonymous reporting telephones, create positions for "racism officers" and / or decree a "spy decree" (according to Cathleen Martin, the Saxon state chairman of the German Police Union (DPolG)). A so-called anti-discrimination law was passed in Berlin, which does nothing other than discriminate against its own officials by reversing the burden of proof. Pseudo-studies with inflated media , such as that of the University of Bochumthat were created according to a questionable methodology (Internet surveys for “affected persons”) also contribute to social and psychological pressure, which not every civil servant can cope with sufficiently. In addition, there is the usual bullying among each other. The sickness rate and the suicide rate in the ranks of the police are correspondingly high. In 2020 alone, the author became aware of three suicides in Brandenburg (the number does not have to be complete), police officers in the prime of their lives who knew no other way out than to shoot themselves with their own service weapon. Including a newly trained young police superintendent who had left a farewell letter with a business connection.
Last but not least, civil servants with essential training content are left in the lurch. In Brandenburg, for example, for decades there was no special training in dealing with mentally disturbed offenders in police operations. The sad but avoidable result in this state is several police officers killed and seriously injured .

There is no excuse

To anticipate, there can be no official understanding of the behavior of the two officers. While the shots were fired, his own colleague (29) was injured on the street and his patrol partner (23) returned fire, the two women (32, 39) are said to have initially hidden behind their police car, according to a media report . After that, they would have left unobtrusively. If that is the case, the question must be asked: How did the two policewomen pass their studies and the subsequent compulsory training?

Thorough research into the causes must now be carried out on the level of training and further education and the selection of personnel in the assessment centers. In addition to the individual guilt of civil servants, the deficits primarily affect the management level. With the latter it regularly starts to get difficult.

The good times in the police force are not over, they never existed, even if this is often said in advertising brochures. Each of us knows the wonderful high-gloss projects with the attractive model policewomen. These illusions create false expectations. The drop-out rate in studies (higher service) or training (middle service) is correspondingly high. That being said, being a cop can be very fulfilling. Very few fail - as in this case - because of the tasks, but because of internal upheavals. The image of man can be expanded.

In my professional career I have actually seen two tough female police officers in managerial positions who were or are superior to other male superiors in terms of social and technical intelligence. But it didn't turn out to be a great career. They are just too smart to sell their entire existence to one machine. Men in particular live the wrong life for medals and colored ribbons.

The other side

Many of the young women do a first-class job in the daily watch and change service (WWD) or as investigators in the criminal investigation department. In my experience, most of them are better positioned than their male colleagues in spelling (police work is primarily paperwork), oral expression and individual adaptability towards superiors. They often get the higher scores in the assessments. The willingness to take on a management role is much less pronounced for women, despite all possible support programs. Those who apply anyway are desperately taken to meet quotas so that the authority is in a good position. Unfortunately this means that they are not always the best of the best. If you look at the profession as a whole, one can in no way speak ofthat women would be better police officers or superiors. Women not only bring advantages in some areas, but sometimes also disadvantages.
Die übergroße Mehrzahl der Polizisten und Polizistinnen beherrscht ihre persönliche Waffe gut bis sehr gut. Es gibt jedoch auch diejenigen, die ihre Waffe nicht als normales Handwerkszeug betrachten, das man routiniert mit sich führt und ggf. einsetzen muss, sondern als Fremdkörper, mit dem man am liebsten nichts zu tun haben will. Verkehrskontrollen (und Verfolgungsfahrten) gehören mit zu den gefährlichsten Einsätzen und werden (normalerweise) intensiv trainiert. Wie kommt es, dass die Beamtinnen „plötzlich“ versagen und ihre mangelnde Einsatzkompetenz kaschieren konnten? Die eingangs geschilderte „Schießerei“ ist eine wahrgenommene lebensgefährliche Hochstresslage. Dann sind erlernte und gedrillte Fertigkeiten notwendig, die im Unterbewusstsein und dem Muskelgedächtnis automatisiert sind. Nur dadurch hat das Gehirn genügend Ressourcen zu Verfügung, willentlich und lageangepasst selbst auf Lebensgefahren zu reagieren.

What caused the learned processes and free will to be overwritten by prehistoric primitive primal instincts - freezing, attack and flight? Dysfunctional stress eats intelligence through a considerable discrepancy between objective requirements and subjective requirements, which has manifested itself visibly in the situation-related helplessness. Fear blocks professional action; anyone who invokes it as an excuse, as in this case, has failed to appeal. Half-skills are incompetence, a danger to yourself, the team and the population.

A court must answer these questions with appropriate experts. Until the verdict (indictment in April 2021), the legal presumption of innocence applies in any case.

Corona: Sufficient staff? No problem!

Regardless of the failure of the two experienced (!) Officers, it must be stated that our police have been and are being suboptimally prepared for the changes since 2015. The increasing brutality of an increasingly polarizing society naturally also has a massive impact on the police. For years the police and thus also the WWD were fleeced by the prevailing politics through drastic job cuts. The fewer staff available, the fewer officers the line manager can send to the necessary training. After all, someone has to do the daily chores. Ergo, the fewer civil servants are available, the greater the number of tasks and the worse the quality of training.


What is possible, on the other hand, can be seen in how much police are suddenly present on the streets. However, mainly to enforce the mask requirement and other corona repression. Particularly consistent measures must be taken against demonstrators who criticize the Corona rules. Then there is also a lot of praise from that side, which otherwise the same institution would like to abolish.

The most important contraceptive: a perfect statistic

Nothing can be staged more arbitrarily than statistical records. You can sell any negative trend as something positive or vice versa, if you only selectively relate selected numbers to each other.

The increasing brutalization of society is "compensated" by the fact that politicians come up with crime statistics presented as success reports in order to ignore undesirable developments.

Example: the quote from an interior ministry: “Brandenburg has become a bit safer again. The overall positive development in crime statistics continued in 2019, the total number of criminal offenses continued to decline. ”So much for the culture of reporting success.

Now to the unadorned reality of this federal state: The decline in thefts (-5.3 percent), especially pickpockets, is combined with the increase in burglaries (+2.4 percent), rape (+20.9 percent), and crimes against sexual self-determination (+8.6 percent), robbery, blackmail (+7.8 percent) offset. Not to mention the rise in foreign crime (+30 percent since 2015). The statistics already fit. Something similar can be reported from Berlin.
If the development of society as a whole continues in this way, the mentioned incident of the police officers will not have been the last occurrence in this category.

Edit:
I just red that on Facebook there are postings proving that the two women no only fled and left their wounded collegues behind, but then stopped a civil car and told or forced the driver to drive them away from the scene of the crime. I block all FB cookies and scripts and therefore cannot check that myself, I red about this in reader's comments at another site only.

A bitter reckoning, but it corresponds to my perception of the realities in Germany. And not just in Germany. Take the obvious individual national characteristics out if it, and you have the picture of the whole West.

Who actually hates whom here? (2)

The ruling elites, the leading circles: They want to fight the "hate speech" that allegedly undermines the common good. In the first half of this essay it was discussed that a distinction must be made between words and deeds, and that although deeds can follow from words, the relationship can also be contradictory, i.e. there can be an abyss between talking and acting - and that there is Ultimately, what matters for everyone involved is what is actually happening, what is physically tangible and compelling external circumstances to which every person is bound in their everyday life. The responsibility for the community lies above all with those who have power, how could it be otherwise? Maybe they have something to do with the hatred they lament? Are they not necessarily the source for the "structural violence ”that the left discussed earlier when it still believed it was on the side of the oppressed? How does it look today when the left-green zeitgeist wants to take everything under control?

Let's leave aside what internal motives exist among our rulers (celebrities, power, money?), Or what group dynamic drives within politics, or what interests are being followed in detail. Let us leave the psychologizing and moralizing, let's not be a behavior aunt. And let's leave the rhetorical disguise all the more out of consideration. Let us only deal with what decides, namely what - to speak with Helmut Kohl - “comes out of the back”. (You should recognize them by their deeds - that is also the central criterion of the great American publicist Dennis Prager, to whom it avowedly meant little or nothing whether President Donald Trump tweeted good taste or exaggerated the world , he just wanted and wants to judgewhich is the political result, including not least peace between Israel and its neighbors, while wars have ended instead of restarted.)

Therefore, here is a list of key words to recall the central results of German politics in recent years:

Fight against Covid : economic decline, countless livelihoods endangered or destroyed, isolation and loneliness, endangerment from marginalized or even provoked other diseases, worldwide return of deadly extreme poverty.

Immigration: ridiculous financial burdens; Parallel societies that even the police no longer dare to enter, record crime in some areas, dysfunctional schools without a common language, the penetration of open misogyny and homophobia into society, hatred of Jews.

Euro and debt policy: asset destruction, zombie economy, risk of inflation, massive international redistribution to the detriment of Germany, strife between the countries of Europe.

"Energiewende": the world's most expensive power supply, increasingly unreliable, powerful modern large power plants are being dismantled far ahead of time; Forests, landscapes and whole flocks of birds have been abandoned across the board by wind turbines, raw materials for rechargeable batteries are extracted globally under appalling environmental and working conditions.

Transport and industrial policy around the car: the most efficient and only area-wide means of transport is made more and more expensive and harassed, city centers are deliberately made inaccessible, world-leading technology is forced into the rubble, added value in Germany is strangled and the prosperity base is undermined.

Settlement policy and housing construction: new buildings can hardly be financed due to absurd requirements of supposed efficiency, old buildings are broken down, housing shortages are deliberately driven up by a shortage of building land, as well as by forced management as in Berlin, prohibitive taxes against building property by families.

Give the best or take the best?

We know the political slogans, but what can we see and “touch” as a result? What happens when the well-meaning rulers do their best for all of us? Rather, why does it look like they're stealing our best? We come from an old Federal Republic of Germany that was very successful as a materially affluent society that climbed ever higher and that gave more and more people more and more life prospects, including education, world travel, sexual freedom and flat-screen TV. The fact that the GDR has come to an end and that the Germans from the East have also been able to catch up with all this prosperity, and have also gained freedom of expression and travel, has underlined the experience of ascent, so to speak, in contemporary history. That does not mean,that in those earlier decades all politics were always optimal and in the best interests of the Germans, but things went up, so to speak, and things were built up.

For some years now, however, we have had a policy in which more and more people have the strong impression that it is no longer about building, but about destroying. Of course, also about prohibiting, about madig, about nodding and patronizing. (Material) prosperity and freedom no longer seem to grow, but to shrink in many ways. And since this is not a divine providence or a natural disaster, it must be the result of the prevailing politics. In this situation, what should the ordinary citizen do with the melodious political slogans?

A citizen whose children no longer study at school but are harassed in the playground? And if there is something to be learned in the classroom, then at an early age the beauty of dozens of “genders” and that there are no natural men and women and what you can do sexually? Whose older daughter the father no longer lets the bus drive alone, especially not in the evening, but prefers to take it by car? But with which he is no longer allowed to drive into the big city, although engine technology is only a few years old and is actually a world leader? Whose grown-up children cannot find affordable housing? Whose savings in the bank are less instead of more, in real terms - while the electricity bill becomes so expensive over the yearthat you could have had a nice vacation for that? In addition, you are officially encouraged to buy candles and a gas stove for home!

People ask themselves, when they pursue politics from their inner distance, why the rulers, the elites, behave this way. And since so much has obviously deteriorated so noticeably and is directed against the immediate needs of the people, how should this audience NOT assume that it is formally abhorred and willfully harmed and harassed by the elites, in a form of cane pedagogy that is in a school class would have long been unthinkable?

Condescension to the point of open contempt

More and more citizens have obviously had the impression, for years, that those “up there” don't care how they get by with their lives. That it is perhaps actually a need of the heart for them to make life difficult for them. Of course, not those who, as an academic couple, fill up their Tesla with solar panels on the villa roof and fly on a wellness holiday in the Seychelles with a climate protection certificate, and mainly just to learn to respect the foreign culture. But the culturally retarded petty bourgeois who still want family, their own home, a car, vacation and good paid industrial or craft work, possibly even in the rifle club: the politicians say in no uncertain terms,that his actually humble life dreams can unfortunately no longer be approved.

She tells him that, of course, in kind, well-chosen words. And she proves it with deeds by perforating, sabotaging and denouncing the classic family image, making it impossible to own a home, renting the car, making it more expensive and forbidding it, without further ado, the vacation is canceled because of the risk of infection or soon because of the climate, industrial work in this country is strangled and followed up China sold out. Citizens can, they must even get the idea that politicians seem to hate them, that they want to mess with them. But it's not even just "normal" hatred. It is hate from above, so to speak, underpinned with arrogance and presumption. It is hatred from which every shell of respect has fallen. It's just pure contempt: for the uncultivated dull cheeks, for the stupid philistines, for the petty-bourgeois lower class,which was actually the backbone of the country for decades as a broad middle class, in the diction of Helmut Schmidt: the hard-working and conscientious skilled worker with family, social conscience and - yes, that too: fatherland. At that time, the SPD still had the national flag onLet the election posters for your "Model Germany" (!) Fly. She must have been possessed by fascist demons, probably. A Willy Brandt has built bridges from this middle class to the new movements of academic-bourgeois character and left-wing orientation. Today's political leadership is about to break such bridges behind them, they are almost blown up, as if a dangerous enemy were otherwise advancing - and the enemy are the ordinary citizens who have stayed behind.

All of this drips towards the citizen, if he is still engaged in political debate and media reports, from the political class of the “good” and from the entire “intellectual elite”. The old and new Marxists, with or without postmodern extra qualifications, have long since said goodbye to the idea of ​​the proletariat that is to be fought for, or to the "common people" in general. These are all just stupid proles who just don't get it, who would still buy lightbulbs and superpowered vacuum cleaners if they weren't forbidden, and who just don't understand how their straws supposedly lead to a floating garbage dump in the Pacific contribute. People feel this contempt, and this is exactly why many of them get what they are chalked up to as "hate speech",again schoolmasterly and condescending. Even the governess attitude of the political elite is unbearable from the start. Then the governess is overly narrow-minded and strict. And often enough it becomes downright sadistic.

Now we get "transformed", the people must submit

And it's not just the expensive electricity or the crime in the neighborhood that people should kindly accept, otherwise they are “climate deniers” or “racists”. It is not only in these, so to speak, practical places that people feel what they can only perceive as the hatred of the elites for their living conditions, their simple material concerns, their need for security. They perceive even more of the high, morally saturated politics: a downright destruction rage in the guise of a tidying up and cleansing fury, which extends from the small individual to the very large. There must be no more thoughts that are supposedly just bad prejudices, one must no longer simply eat what has always tasted good, there must - now on a large scale - no longer be a people, there must be no more borders,there must no longer be any interests of its own as a nation, and there must actually no longer be a nation; there must also no longer be any claim that politics is made at a level on which the people - from whom all state authority allegedly and officially emanates - could still seriously influence. Let's just do that in the back room in Brussels, that's it. (In very important cases a people may still vote, by referendum, but if it votes wrong, it has to be repeated.) Or better still, we somehow decide everything that is important worldwide, together with dictators and despots, and that's that. It is sold - disguised - as a compulsory policy (which Helmut Schmidt was accused of at the time!) And morality, but it seems more delusional, immoderate and inhuman every day.

What they were allowed to take for granted in the past is taken from people with cold arrogance; You should forget the idea you have learned about the country in which you live and how democracy works and please remain obedient. If you don't get the new way of thinking, because either too stupid or somehow stubborn, just shut up. In spite of everything, newspeak politically correct wording is expected and demanded at all times, with militant relentlessness, always respectfully, just don't step out of line and annoy the “just milieu”. But the deeds (!) Of the same political, elitist, intellectually and morally superior class, from the point of view of (a part of) the people, they are oozing with hatred, contempt and downright destruction. And the warm words that are dressed around them on good days do not make it any better, on the contrary - they seem like additional mockery and mockery, are in many cases basically lies, and even if not, they are usually at least hypocritical.

THAT is the whole, complete picture. That has to be considered if we are to seriously talk about “hate” in the political debate. It is not, and certainly not the first or only, individual “hate speech” online that endangers social peace. No, it has to stay that way: Freedom of expression “only gets exciting” when someone is allowed to say something completely out of order. Words are still just words. Deeds are something completely different, a category of their own, and actually the decisive factor in living together. And it goes without saying that the more power and influence someone has, the more they have to be controlled and held accountable. Especially when power and influence are politically borrowed from the citizen. To an actually helpless, on his own,Basically powerless individual citizens to make rules of behavior about what can supposedly be said, because otherwise the community would be endangered, means a grotesque misunderstanding of the power relations.

Always stay nice and friendly in the face of destruction?

And it is a reversal of all standards to complain about supposedly bad words when nothing but actually practically open hatred and contempt are spread on the part of the powerful for those who do not want to adapt to the "new thinking". That goes according to the melody “Stop the thief!”. According to the current zeitgeist, the ruling elite is facing headwinds after they have proceeded too briskly with the destruction of the liberal affluent society that Germany has identified as being and the disposal of all traditional values. This can only be understood theoretically as a reform or a necessity; at its core it is progressive destruction, at least from the point of view of large sections of the people. People are allowed to defend themselves against it, at least argumentatively. Strong words must be possible, you have to be able to articulate anger.

You can also hate the way this political class treats you, patronizes you and fools you and threatens to destroy the country in the process. Sir Karl Popper (who in turn revered Helmut Schmidt) has declared democracy to be able to chase away the rulers without bloodshed if they have completely overstepped the curve [my choice of words]. He did not write that the angry and angry citizens must always remain friendly and carefully weigh their words, otherwise they would kindly have to let the rulers have their way.

The Zeitgeist, which incidentally does not contain so much intellectual, albeit a lot of intellectual madness, is characterized by a good portion of hatred. It is directed against everything conservative, everything traditional, and everything that goes against your own - left or green, but I repeat myself - wishes to gain more and more power and control. This machine is geared towards totalitarianism, and it is being presented more clearly and openly by the rulers every day - you almost have to be grateful to them for their honesty, although of course it is only partial.

The government is dissatisfied with the people

The conservative, bourgeois petty bourgeois actually only wants to have his peace of mind, earn his money, enjoy his little freedoms. To make him downright angry, you have to get pretty close to him. You have to hate him first and gradually rub it under his nose more and more. And when he finally, finally, can get his platform ticket to make a “revolution” by marching with Pegida or leaving an annoying reader comment somewhere or, more recently, with a “ Covidioten ”"-Demo participates, then it is just embarrassing and lying and ridiculous to act piqued and to point the finger at it terribly shocked and disgusted and to rant indignantly, as if a boarding school girl in Victorian England had accidentally said" underpants "( after the faculty, the clerical school overseer and parts of the local government have been known for years for indecent group sex in the staff room at every opportunity, just to overstrain the picture).

Germany has no problem with “hate speech” in internet forums (or in marketplaces, if the fundamental right to freedom of assembly returns as a mercy). Germany has a problem with a ruling class that no longer likes its own people and that actually somehow wants to abolish (“transform”) the whole country and dissolve it in favor of a European planned economy and obedience. As I said: who actually hates whom here, and who started it?

"The worse things get for Germany, the better they are for the AfD," Lüth allegedly said, before turning his focus to migrants. "We can always shoot them later, that's not an issue. Or gas them, as you wish. It doesn't matter to me."

It wouldn't surprise me if Macron does the same to the National Rally political party.

Weren't you and your current government the ones that just a few weeks ago was supporting a known nationalist and associate of neo-nazis who also expressed similar methods of getting rid of migrants as an alternative too Putin?
