Hold your breath and look to Germany: its election could decide the fate of Europe – and the UK | Martin Kettle
If the country holds out against the Trump-assisted AfD, it shows rightwing populism can be resisted in Europe’s heartland, says Guardian columnist Martin Kettle

Please everybody wake up. It is really a problem that democracies always sit out problems for so long. There is no guarantee that things will end well.

If I have to bet I would say Canada is not going to exist in 2 years anymore. I think most Canadians have no clue how much economic leverage the US has over them. It can literally starve Canada to death through a naval blockade without any direct military engagement. Most people are still in denial.

Canadian EU membership is becoming more palatable, as strange as it seems. Probably it is just going to be more treatises, but it is also good for Europe to think more out of the box. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJKe...

The only way I can interpret the GOP's actions is that they are 100% certain they will never face another democratic election again. They hit the shore and burned their ships.

Main take away: Nuclear energy production always was a massive money grab because it is a capital intensive monopoly business. Once you buy into it they can charge the utilities whatever they want and never deliver. Plant manufacturers like BBC explicitly strategized like this in Germany in the 80s.

Kennedy said "Ich bin ein Berliner" and every German knew that. We Europeans looked up to the US. That is impossible now. It is as if the US does not understand anymore how powerful it actually was and how much it is self-destructing right now.

I also think this somewhat subtle and very technical route to control government makes sense from a computer science/AI perspective, but not to common people because of the abstract nature of organisational/financial control. One could argue it is maybe the first cybernetic coup attempt.

It is shocking to see how many people act as if they already have lost to Trump and fascism is there. WTF Americans? We Germans are not the greatest revolutionaries, but it took the Nazis at least a year to eliminate the opposition. Never give up any territory if you don't have to. Think & fight!
