Hard to believe that the forward looking EU promises of neoliberalism, perma-austerity, a supporting role in Operation Barbarossa 2, supertrawlers and sitting at the big European table with genocide supporters didn't win Iceland over to the benefits of membership.

It was on a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. With an anxiety that
almost amounted to agony, I collected the instruments of life around me, that I might infuse a spark of
being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered
dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-
extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive

Ja. Dat komt omdat de VVD, BBB, JA21, PVV, FvD, DNA en Mona Keijzer deze ‘crisis’ nodig hebben om relevant te blijven. Als dit opgelost dreigt te worden, imploderen die partijen stuk voor stuk. Want ze hebben verder niks.

Not to spoil that Bluesky mood but European political leaders gave multiple rounds of applause to a speech by the US Secretary of State that is colonialist in a distinctly Nazi fashion. From: x.com/BenjaminNort...
Segment of speech by Marco Rubio at Munich Security Conference:
This is the path that President Trump and the United States has embarked upon. Ilt is the path we ask you here in Europe to ioin us on. It is a path we have walked together before and hope to walk together again. For five centuries, before the end of the Second World War, the West had been expanding - its missionaries, its pilgrims, its soldiers, its explorers pouring out from its shores to cross oceans, settle new continents, build vast empires extending out across the globe.
But in 1945, for the first time since the age of Columbus, it was contracting. Europe was in ruins. Half of it lived behind an Iron Curtain and the rest looked like it would soon follow. The great Western empires had entered into terminal decline, accelerated by godless communist revolutions and by anti-colonial uprisings that would transform the world and drape the red hammer and sickle across vast swaths of the map in the years to come.
...
And this is why we do not want our allies to be weak, because that makes us weaker. We want allies who can defend themselves so that no adversary will ever be tempted to test our collective strength. This is why we do not want our allies to be shackled by guilt and shame. We want allies who are proud of their culture and of their heritage, who understand that we are heirs to the same great and noble civilization, and who, together with us, are willing and able to defend it
And this is why we do not want allies to rationalize the broken status quo rather than reckon with what is necessary to fix it, for we in America have no interest in being polite and orderly caretakers of the West's managed decline. We do not seek to separate, but to revitalize an old friendship and renew the greatest civilization in human history. What we want is a reinvigorated alliance that recognizes that what has ailed our societies is not just a set of bad policies but a malaise of hopelessness and complacency.

This was also noticeable during the Weimar years: newspapers (and judges) treated leftwing violent protests as a threat to the state’s continued existence, while shrugging off the violence of nazi street gangs as regrettable but in itself understandable.
