the malaise isnt only in the EU, it seems to be in most of the developed word. the youtube algo is constantly showing me what i can only describe as Canada-doom content.

Germany is just going next level and is ultimately destroying itself, or at a minimum making it suck a lot more than it did a decade ago.

but this is just the end game of fiat + the endless growth mindset where we keep shipping out all the jobs to poorer and poorer countries until one day we are left with no solid jobs for locals (or workers so expensive nobody wants to pay them ) and everything else being replaced by AI.

the irony is in communist ideology, it was always about the cult of the worker - well now we have plumbers and builders and things like that being in a golden age because they can charge what they want and cant be replaced by a person from a 3rd world country or a robot
