We have discussed the collapse of the German economy at length several times here. In view of the general development in Europe, which is not particularly good but not as bad as Germany's, it is something unique. The phasing out of nuclear power, ongoing attacks against the key sector of its own economy, the automotive industry, overregulation and the growing state interventionism - in conjunction with the climate psychosis, all this has led to a disaster for the German economy and society as a whole.
And this social disease of a strange apocalyptic cult is spreading from its center battle field to other regions as it's penetrating all political and administrative levels, mainstream media, NGOs and all the forefield organizations of the party/media cartel that is dominating public narratives and the overton window. These people show vibes that Roman citizens probably felt in the face of the early Christians. They, too, stood speechless before a group of people who were literally longing for the end of the world. What was missing was the gigantic subsidy apparatus to artificially stimulate the nonsense.
The unethical element of the climate apocalyptic cult is that they tap into the resources of the anonymous masses with audacity. They managed to establish an incentive structure, exterminating open discourse on fundamental questions of energy production and use - it's a design to re-allocate resources by putting moral pressure on those who don't participate in the cult.
In the nucleus we find the design of a functional apparatus that, with the well-known thoroughness of German socialism, suppresses the private sector, covers it with bureaucracy, taxes it heavily and in this way severely damages the crucial area of the economy that ensures innovation and prosperity. At this level of the cult, it is not about saving the world, but about political power, whatever the cost. Every euro stolen from the private sector for the benefit of the cult's subsidized elite damages the development of productivity, as we have seen from the collapse of productivity in the German economy.
And the consequences of this are now materializing. As a result of exploding energy prices, green Valhalla Germany is experiencing an exodus of companies. Last year alone, direct investments of 136 billion euros were withdrawn from Germany!
At this point, we can only hope that the economic crash induced by this sect will also dry up these parasitic structures in order to give our society room to breathe. We cannot rely on the media at this point. They fulfil their systemic task, which is to synchronize the masses, not to rationally explain the dynamics of climate phenomena.
The way to achieve change is to return to free capital markets, the best mechanism to allocare scarce resources. By allocating resources to independent money You're part of the peaceful revolution to free society from this parasitic system. It will be a taugh and hard fight as these people will be defending their scheme of plunder until the last day. But the path of social evolution demands it and so the era of green-socialist dominance, subsidy entrepreneurs and attacks on general freedom of expression will be approaching the cliff that will bring it down!
Perhaps the praxeological perspective of the Austrian school of economics can provide us with an answer as to how it was possible for a small sectarian group to force the economic suicide of society as a whole. An exciting task for the Mises' and Hayeks of tomorrow.
Is there a lot of coverage of the exodus of companies from Germany, in the popular press? Or maybe the exodus of people (is that happening too?)
Last year g lost 136 bio euros of direct investment. For some years net around 200.000 germans are leaving.
The media is playing it down. All about climate bs
This is probably more of a Hayekian point about emergent phenomena.
Coupling the coercive redistributive mechanism of the state with representative governance virtually guarantees cult-like propaganda will be used to distort the public's perception of reality. You probably couldn't predict the precise form that propaganda will take, but it needs to be something that isn't easily falsified by everyday experience and it needs to be consequential enough to justify the looting.
Patrick Moore's book Fake Invisible Catastrophes pointed out that pretty much all alarmist environmentalism is centered on problems that are far removed from most people's direct experience.
Coercive redistribution is the problem and, like so many things, bitcoin fixes this.
the problem with fiat printing and central banking is they will just print up as many euros as needed to fund whatever they deem necessary and the masses with just get poorer and have to suck on whatever new taxes they create.
not to deny climate change, but they had clean nuclear energy and the wankers decided to shut it all down and go with Putin's gas pipe instead.
then the gov dreams up carbon offsetting and it turns out half of that is a total scam.
seems like the only thing they can do is focus all their attention on EVs and run around trying to punish and shame people that don't want to buy one or spend a ton of money on a heatpump for an old house.
just more government meddling and like the shitty food pyramid the government invented to pysh US agg interests, the only thing it's been good for is exploding diabetes and childhood obesity.
This is not going well
This green energy initiative is going to put some societies back a few generations.
German imdustry is going to shrink by 8%! This year, says VDMA. It's a collapse
That shrinking is not coming at a good time.
More things are going to collapse.
Will be like dominos.
But it's intentional if you understand the Davosian agenda and geopolitics in the background
There is always an agenda, and most of us dont to see it.
The other half of society are sheep and dont see it.
We just found the catalyst for the great-great recession that is looming: the green bubble bursting.
This would be a good thing for society!
As I've related here before I've met several highly capable, independent people who've either built one or more business or a very impressive career here, that simply left...
This has been a trend for decades too, the real risk takers left a long time ago, some failed of course, but many did very well and never really looked back.
The one thing that is changing now is global taxation, this is clearly planned to happen in the next few years. Many of the really capable people will relocate again, or even do the nomad game for as long as possible.
But what then? I hope that Europe gets to a stage where its bleedingly obvious that it all has to go, like the Soviet Union.
Some will be able to get early in on this, maybe returning to build on Bitcoin in open defiance!
My hope is that Germany can turn this problem around, because if it doesn't, the whole of Europe will suffer.
Is climate change not a threat to humanity and the planet?
It seems most of the science suggests we do have a rapidly changing climate and that this change could has very serious consequences for human civilisation.
I just don't get the libertarian bravado that denies the science.
Record temperatures globally breaking all previous records each year.
Ice caps and glacier melting at an accelerating rate.
Sure there will be extremists within all sides of the debate but seems like there is a real problem and that human cause climate change is a real thing.
