Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.

I went to my friend’s wedding in Nepal, through Hong Kong with a stop over there. I have only been on a holiday in Bali before that and I traveled through South Korea, with a little stopover in Seoul. I live in Europe.

Germany Fucked Up, and It is Causing the Return of Hitler

It “has to do with the automobile industry, which is the heart of the German industry and many things hinge on that,” he said. Cars were Germany’s main export product last year, accounting for 15.6% of the value of goods sold abroad, federal statistics office data shows.

Germany reported a foreign trade deficit for the first time in decades in May 2022, totaling 1 billion euros ($1.03 billion). The country had briefly shifted from a trade surplus to importing more than it exports.

Germany has since returned to a trade surplus, which came to 18.7 billion euros in June 2023, according to the federal statistics office, but exports remain sluggish.

One target currently in the sights of the German government is becoming carbon neutral by 2045. These plans came into sharp focus as Europe looked to detach itself from Russian gas supplies following the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and prices shot up.

Some described Germany’s ambitions to move away from Russian gas as “wildly optimistic,” particularly in light of the country’s climate targets.

The Germans closed their nuclear power plants and tried to stop imports of Russian gas, at least through pipes that is. Russian LNG to my information is still making way here.

Germany could lose 2% to 3% of its current industrial capacity as companies move operations to countries where gas and electricity are cheaper, such as the U.S. or Saudi Arabia, according to a research note released in August by Berenberg.

But there are growing signs of public disenchantment in the shift to a more sustainable Europe, with a so-called “greenlash” emerging as people feel the cost impacts.

Sinn suggested there would be political ramifications as a result of the focus on sustainability.

“There is a backlash clearly … The population is now moving to the right,” Sinn said, referring to the popularity of the right-leaning Alternative for Germany party, which won a district council election for the first time in June.

“I am not moving to evaluate anything here, but … the policies which were, for ideological reasons, completely overdrawn … Pragmatism is a little bit missing in current policy,” he added.

I don’t get why AFD is considered far right. This is a centre right party…

Cripples Will Save Ukraine

So the above has appeared in Czech media, the title says. “Kiev will draft into army also people with lower physical ability.”

The second paragraph says that the Kiev regime will now accept people who are infected with HIV but do not display symptoms, those that have gone through tuberculosis, and also guys that have periodic expressions of mental illness. In the next paragraph also people with neural network illnesses and hepatitis are listed.

Above is one of the commentary channels on YouTube that cater to normie dickheads. I don’t say all of their content is dog shit but it usually is.

I am also seeing a lot of videos of late with clickbaity thumbnail pictures about how Chinese economy is collapsing because Chinese real estate developers are not doing so well. If you delve deeper into this, you will pity only the people who had all their money in Evergrande but will not be one bit worried about the Chinese economy. On the contrary, this is a readjustment that will be painful but necessary. Hardly a collapse of the economy.
