Nobody is safe, nowhere, anytime. A good amount of paranoia can help - too much is dangerous though. Germany is about to experience the worst to-right movement ever in 2025, directly affecting me and my lifelyhood. And I thought it to be relatively save for decades, but... yeah, the reality is, that no - you are not safe. Nowhere. There will always be an asshole to ruin your day.

The right-most party, AfD (Alternative für Deutschland), is currently catching not just a lot of attention and voters, but are actually within absurdly close reach to being "in power" - elected as a mayor or being a substantial part in a local parliament. This trend has been going on since 2016 when the initial "refugee wave" hit - an absolute mass-immigration of which the effects last to this very day. And whilst the amount of technically illegal immigration hasn't stopped but simply reduced somewhat, the welcoming culture that was once there, is by now replaced by a stern "Should we really?"-attitude. This is the key turning point that started it all. Over the years, AfD politicians have consistently caused drama in all sorts of matters and it is starting to culminate into something... bigger. In the east of germany, their voting power is already so insane, that they are close to reaching so many seats that a coalition without them is impossible. Last I checked, they hit a solid 20% of all votes - that's a fifth of all voters, and the east of germany is quite densely populated. So that means a lot, literally. In recent weeks, especially as votation in the individual states (Bundeslandtagswahlen) is starting up, the political discourse is not just back to the migration topic, but also heavily fueled by Ukraine support, Russia and China politics and the EU and NATO as a whole, which is an amazing foundation for nationalistic thinking... or, in other words, perfect for the braincells at AfD. Add on top of that that politicians of other parties have attempted to establish an "Anti-AFD" image, they are inadvertedly giving them even more room. There was an advert for Hessia's SPD that was taken down, because all it did was fire towards AfD. But if your entire ad spot is about bashing someone else - aren't you actually advertising them indirectly? Someone at SPD realized this - which is why it was taken down... But the result of that is even more talk about AfD and it's indirect influence. At this point, all they have to do is breathe to be the focus of attention. And this is **very** bad. So I fear that in 2025, when voting for the Bundestag - and thus our chancelor! - is happening, AfD will have an absurd votation power and with that in mind will also dominate the topics to be talked about during the election phase. Now, I am visually impaired, I rely on state support a crapton. If AfD comes in, or if due to the discourse during the election, and this support is cut, I am in deep shit. And this is just from the viewpoint of an impaired person... There are many other sectors literally in danger. So, that is kind of the "what happened, in short". I could've gone much longer and elaborated on other stuff, but this should give you an overview of our situation. The real TL;DR would be: AfD exists, is big, and we're about to be royally fucked in the ass with a blue-coloured granite dildo. (AfD's color is blue.)

They suddenly realize that there is a very large and influential space they don't really control much, so they have started capturing it. The problem with states everywhere is that they want to control every single aspect of your life.

Canadians fell fast asleep. Reasonable lifestyle, no threat of war, 6 month hockey season, cold beer. Frankly, Canadians sat complacently by as Marxism took hold in "government schools", fascist corporations sowed the seeds of what would become the green agenda. Lead by Maurice Strong (of Power Corporation) the communist manifesto took hold. Each "s-elected" Prime Minister (regardless of party) followed the instructions of their masters, the Desmarais family. Finally the groomed drama teacher was old enough to complete the non-violent insurrection and complete the take over. Meanwhile, Chinese influence had bought politicians in every Province, held Trudeau's political career on a leash and set policy through WEF devotees. As Fentanyl flooded into the country through the Vancouver waterfront, controlled by organized crime, the governments turned a blind eye. Allowing the proceeds to be laundered through the casinos which now dotted the landscape like McDonald's. Those proceeds were then used to blow up the real estate bubble in the largest markets, only to cash out and return the funds to the CPP before there embezzlement was discovered but not before the governments filled their coffers with billions in taxes from the house sales. The Plandemic was the final act and enabled the governments to show how apathetic the population had become. They'd line up for an experimental jab, turn on their neighbour for not wearing a face diaper or having one too many house guests. The government printed money and handed it out to anyone who could fog a mirror. CERB was the trial balloon for UBI. Freezing the bank accounts of law abiding protestors, showed the cabal that Canada was ready for the CBDC and would willingly accept it, so long as hockey stayed on the TVs, cannabis and alcohol was accessible via Door Dash (bread and circuses). Overly polite Canadians found themselves afraid to speak out against any wokeism, so instead of questioning or protesting they looked to TikTok, Meta and Hollywierd via Netflix and Disney+ to tell them what to think. As a final nail in the coffin, the uni-party of Canada, Liberal/NDP/Conservatives passed bill C-11 aka the "online streaming act" to bury free speech under the guise of prevention of mis and disinformation. Only government approved podcasts and streaming channels will be allowed to disseminate the fact checked propaganda. Canada’s mutation into China was complete. I write this as a 6th generation Canadian citizen. I no longer have any patriotic leaning toward the dotted lines on a map that proclaim the territory called Canada. It is no longer a land which represents opportunity, diversity and promise. It is a hollowed out husk of its former self, a play thing for globalists and a laboratory for the pharmaceutical industrial complex. Technocracy runs the show, Canadians gobble it up. Alas people will still travel to Canada with the post card image of the true North, strong and free, in their minds. They'll look past the tents which fill city streets while ogling the mountains. They'll dawn a mask so as to fit in with the collective and stand 6ft back from a person rather than meeting and conversing them. They'll revel in the fact that their currency is worth so much more against the Canadian peso, not stopping for one second to realize that they are witnessing a failed state in the making. That's Canada... Eh?

The Reverend nails it. 🤡🇨🇦 nostr:nevent1qqs8pgy2tdu3k63v75ttwf950qckvqw89hx7cd2ez6l7ul62ykkfdncpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygztdunp4dn3sm36zessx2f7dd8522ehe4zz4pyluatew55p03gr8cpsgqqqqqqs0pgvyh

Nailed it. Nice write up Reverend. Posted this below in Jan. 2022 out of sheer frustration and absolute anger after being told I could no longer go to work, could not travel by public ways and could not even leave the Countries borders. Whatever little ties I still felt to this place by that time died on that day. https://image.nostr.build/2bf6833bd68bc7210e1e267edb67e06bddf40417dfe8c3c5a1b39a445d142082.jpg

I was in Canada on Canada day this year and there groups of police open carrying assault rifles in the streets. Very weird vibe esp bc the citizens there aren’t legally allowed to posses those weapons. Canada is DINO - democracy in name only.

Fortunately, educating oneself about #bitcoin provides real solutions. Orange pilling the masses is not likely to happen until they face a Venezuelan or Turkish like collapse. Even then, a majority of Canadians will look to the government to save them. Proactive bitcoiners will save themselves. The new thing is personal responsibility, the sooner one understands this, the better off they'll be. What are you waiting for... ?
