I am sure the germans have a precise term for this

I am sure the germans have a precise term for this

I propose these:

  • Existenzkrise (existential crisis)
  • schleichender Verfall (creeping deterioration)
  • schleichende Faschisierung (slowly becoming more and more fascist

In increasing order of specificity regarding your text

Modern term is "staying competitive in the realities of a global marketplace." Or some such BS.

If it's any consolation, there are quite a few countries where this is a thing. I don't want to think percentage wise, it would make me sad.

I hate to admit it, but we're on the wrong side of World War III aren't we? We're gonna get anhilated in an AI-fuelled nuclear war, and we can only hope that an enlightened post-scarcity utopia is on the other side.

You sound psychotic

Shit, okay. I'll report to the camps for 're-parenting'.

I mean you literally sound like you're going through psychosis, you're just making up some convoluted scenario to attack random people online with. You should seek psychiatric help

I'm having trouble reading it that way, but it seems to be removed. Did you read the last line?

Naw just stop posting tbh

Not until I can start a podcast; I need to be respectable.

And then posted about it on social media and then just sort of did nothing and carried on.

I just wish I saw this path to action like every European and Canadian does. Like, if you speak out or burn shit it's just jail and no job. How does that help anyone? Like, what is a plan y'all think would work? I just don't get it.

I don't think anyone expects you to do anything about it, but the endless posts of "are we the bad guys?" don't really absolve you either.

I think most Europeans are rooting for you, we know it is a shit show that you are enduring, just as we are too. There's solidarity in that. But there is also a feeling that it's popular for some people to turn in posts like this as form of virtue signalling.

So yeah, not blaming you and we know that it's happening to you too, but posts like this are not reading the global room.

Also, if you are doing something, no matter how seemingly small, thank you.

That’s the frustrating part. I keep seeing videos taking about how we can resist, but they never really have a solution. It always comes back to no violence, but general strike maybe?

Ok, so I’ve been general striking. I refuse to be violent. So what now? It’s still shit.

I call my useless reps, I write emails, I help where I can (admittedly little, but it’s all I’ve got). It’s still shit.

I spent the last 20+ years trying to help politically dense individuals understand the how and why. It didn’t move the needle.

I’m so tired.

I think you lost the plot somewhere around "I refuse to be violent"

Do you want a world where only innocent people are hurt or a world where mean/evil people are hurt as well in response?

If you only want innocent people to be hurt, keep being non violent. It only helps the oppressor. When you resist, when you thrash and smash and burn and stab, you force them onto their backfoot.

Posters stop existing when I navigate to another page. We all know this. Its why I feel such an obligation to linger on this page.

No please don't go I haven't finished my bucket list

  • Buy a bucket
  • Fill the bucket with water
  • Put a frog in the bucket

I'm here comrade. You can tell I'm here because you can read this.

I am sure the germans have a precise term for this

We call it Russland
