Having lived through communism, people in the former East Germany vote strongly against it – but people in West Germany apparently haven’t suffered enough yet to figure it out.
Live German election results and maps: Conservatives win, AfD achieves best finish yet
I believe I read somewhere that “cheap” green electricity in Germany now costs
about 30 cents a kilowatt. Electricity in Minnesota, (a state with no coal reserves but we sure do import a lot of it from West of us) cost about 12 cents a kilowatt, and thank God it’s not more than that because my furnace fan has been running nonstop through almost all of February. you would think the Germans would wake up to this “green” nonsense…. but one would also think that the people from California would wake up…. but no such luck… so far. just wondering, have Tony Heller’s commenters heard the joke that now that Trump has renamed the Gulf of Mexico?? now named the Gulf of America, Trumps next proclamation is to rename the San Andreas fault to Newsome’s Fault. lol. I’m okay with that. lol
“cheap” green electricity actually costs around 0,4€ kwh in Germany (and I know it because I live there).
I pay 218€ monthly for a total consumtion of 7000kwh /year. So it makes 37cent/kwh.
Therefore, be happy to live where you live: you probably have also much more space there than Germans who are piled in their towns.
Germans are doing coherently: what people do not understand of Germans is that they are arrogant and do not see their mistakes until it’s too late. See WWII and see now: it’s exactly the same.

Maybe Germans (and other Europeans) should read the Fascist 1919 Manifesto to see how similar it sounds to socialism.
They could do the Duck test.
Hello Tony, this is exactly my wife’s comment.
She has grown up in the communism and has developed some sort of deep “allergy” to communism.
So, she says exactly that in west Europe, and particularly in west Germany, people do not know what communism is and shall experience it on their skin in order to understand it.
They simply have too good in life and think that what they have could be even better in communism, while in realty exactly the contrary would happen.
But the strange think, I really do not understand, is that the worst they have the more they feel the need to say they want to live in an ecological way, without figuring out what would be the constraints they should face in daily life.
They do not understand that if a CO2 tax is increased, they will face a massive inflation in all products because goods are transported.
They do not want factories in the country, for ecological reasons, but are at ease with the fact that transport of goods for thousands of kilometers means pollution.
It’s a really strange situation, a really complicated one in which people have lost contact to reality, somehow. They can’t afford purchasing their own flat, think that renting is better and forget that when renting they not only pay the rent, but also all the costs they would pay if they were owners.
You cannot save them: the boat shall sink.
Inflation is not prices going up because of a tax. That’s just theft by the mafia in power . Inflation is more ‘money’ competing for the same product because of fiat ‘money’ printing by central banks like the ECB to ‘stimulate’ the economy. (destroying your savings).
Yours is a very poor remark:
when tax on fuels increase you will see the effects on goods very quickly.
Then if you want, you can call it “my grandma” if not inflation, but the effect if the same: less purchase power.
therefore this is indeed inflation
🙂
Have a nice day
Seems we still haven’t stabbed,raped and killed enough of them.
But there is a bit of hope as they actually voted almost everwhere “conservative”.
The problem is that the CDU is since Merkel neither Christian (that’s what the C stands for)nor conservative and only a branch of the Uniparty farce where
FDP and CDU are the republicans while SPD and Greens are democrats and that the head of the CDU is Blackrock = just another face of the Unileader where
it absolutely does not matter wether the thing presents itself as Merkel,Sunak,Biden,Starmer.
The Thing is an apt descriptor for the Unileader. In Europe which continues to labor under the illusion that it is geopolitically relevant (it could be if it would face reality) presentation, perception, still matters. Merkel, Sunak, Starmer, etc. can “pass” as humans, albeit terminally flawed ones. In the US objective reality was canceled long ago and so it is a testing ground for The Thing to reveal it’s true face, as it must, gradually, incrementally. In 2016 we had Mini-Thing Hilary, one of whose emails to John Podesta published by Julian Assange, who is meticulous about verifiability, actually referenced “Sacrificing a ‘chicken’ to Moloch.” And then the Weiner laptop with its graphic depictions of (too disturbing). The NYPD got hold of it, named the case file Frazzle Drip, assigned 12 detectives, nine of whom died by “Arkanicide”. Shut down and double locked. Then Mini-Thing, a Moloch-worshiping pedovore, and a sloppy, and reportedly smelly, drunk to boot came within a whisker of the presidency.
Next up was Mini-Thing The Lesser, a useless senile incontinent-of-feces admitted (to his college roommate) pedophile who showered with his own 11 year old daughter. It was even covered in a Tucker Carlson segment : “He should be arrested!” Ya think? Alas we have devolved to a lawless society. Now Trump and his pasty post-human sidekick Elon will fix it 🙂 Trump was taken to obedience school and he will do the bidding of The Thing. Muskrat and Jared Kushner (Mossad) are his “minders.”
There are glimmers of hope. Over yonder in the Land of Germs (you said it 🙂 ) the populace has veered “conservative”. Relax Arn, my sources tell me everything is fine. I have it on good authority that the ET’s are going to save us
Can you provide me a link to the 12 NYPD detectives?
It’s the first time i hear about it.
Frazzle Drip was an offhsoot of “Weinergate” in which NY congress-thing Anthony Weiner was busted for “sexting”, including posting nudish photos of himself, with underage girls. He promised to never do it again and was re-selected but then “re-offended” so that was it for him. Weiner was at the time married to Huma Abedin, adviser and BFF to Hilary. NYPD seized his laptop and upon viewing it’s contents many of the detectives (re: their demises it immediately brings to mind the four Capital police officers who were present at The Insurrection 🙂 who also took their own lives. Allegedly. No why would they go and do that? Because dead men tell no tales) reportedly wept or ran from the room vomiting. Huma ‘n Hill doing unspeakable..stuff. This isn’t the place to go into greater detail. Not surprised you haven’t heard of it, it was shut down, hard. Memory-holed, dispersed, “debunked”. It’s unlikely there are links with good information unless one accesses the dark web. I don’t know how to do that. I have files that I saved, if I can find them, and I’d be happy to share but I don’t know how I might do that either. This isn’t FB. Suffice to say that Julian Assange bought us a bit of time, preventing The Thing from emerging from its dark well. It will eventually, as Yeats put it “..its hour come round at last.” My sense is that its hour is not far off
Thanks
Exactly Tories Labour ‘left’ and ‘right’ wings of the same bird of prey.
Today one wing who does not belong to this Bird got arrested by the European=UK deep state.
Romanian legitimate president Georgescu was stopped on his way to submit his candidacy in his car and got arrested.
The General Persecutor wants to tell him that he does not has the Davos approval and is therefore illigitimate..
All those countries guilty of wrongvote do experience some very odd irregularities.
I bet if Blackrock wouldn’t have won the German election a million NGO coordinated people would be on the streets right now.
“Following his party’s victory in federal elections on Sunday, Friedrich Merz, the likely next Chancellor of Germany, rejected overtures from President Donald Trump while calling for “independence” from the United States and accusing Washington of election interference.”
I am all for it. Time for all of Eurooe to stand on their own! Their social programs will soon collapse without US.
Let’s ally with Russia and leave the freeloaders to fend for themselves.
If Blackrock Merz was really interested in Independence(of course not from EU – that would be Nazi),
he would tell the US to pull their troops out of Germany.
He is only for independence as long as the USA isn’t run by a Blackrock operative.
He didn’t mind when the US blew up Northstream
and increased German dependence from US by forcing them to by US LNGs with a 300% premium.
He didn’t gave a crap when USA forced Hate Speech laws ,Rainbow Pervs and Pronouns on Germans.
But all of a sudden he is pro independence when the USA is not forcing something on Germans.
That’s probably the most Orwellian thing a German politician has ever said.
And the second the USA gets a deep state president Merz will turn into a compulsive asslicker and beg for as much dependence as possible.
Germans are generally odd. There are documents over there related to my distant ancestors, and writing to museums where they might be yields zero response. Whereas a similar inquiry here would usually get some helpful response. That’s just one minor example. To me, they are generally afraid of contact outside their immediate group of associates, unless their job requires in, and they are not going to go beyond the requirements. It’s similar to the swamp people in Louisiana. You have to be introduced by a relative before they will speak to you.
