Summing up political theory of pre- and post- WW2, esp. post-Cold War:

Pre-WW2 regimes strove to rule the people or peoples they had under their fief.

Post-WW2 regimes in the West strive to create the people they need for their system of rule to work.

I wonder if Brecht would be pleased, or dismayed that his famous words from Die Lösung now are no longer a joke or a sardonic observation of the nature of the totalist state:

"Some party hack decreed that the people

had lost the government's confidence

and could only regain it with redoubled effort.

If that is the case, would it not be simpler,

If the government simply dissolved the people

And elected another?"

You know about Lukács' theory (sic) of reification, right?

eugenicism never went away and seems to be getting more and more entrenched in supra-national policies. which is bad. however, to somewhat lighten up this sunny sunday (Pentacost) a light-hearted description of the "thing" pronounced as monkeypox: "...Having borrowed asymptomatic transmission, compulsory testing, dubious PCR evangelism and inflated vaccine effectiveness claims from COVID-19, [monkeypox] now seems determined to establish itself as the next fashionable public health panic. No doubt we can soon expect calls for enhanced surveillance, emergency funding, behavioural restrictions and perhaps even socially distanced Pride marches - https://dailysceptic.org/2026/05/23/monkeypox-copies-the-covid-19-playbook/

Ah, MPox-the-issue™ from back then, I remember this one well: same shit, not even a different smell.

It's almost June now, and I'll keep an eye out for Pride™ flags …

Pride™ has become a business model. this year 2 whole weeks (aaaarch) of gay 'festivities' taking place and taking over all over the old city center, which is not up to the mayhem. usually I'm all for emancipation and minorities' rights, but this isn't one of them.

It's been like thus for a while, and o'er here, it's so in your face, it's hard to believe: nurses and school staff get rainbow-themed lanyards, and that's just the beginning.

Check out this piece of 'old news' (about an ill woman getting her 5th poison/death juice with the rubber band applied also being, well, rainbow-themed plus the patient is wearing a sweater with the printed word 'obey'):

We must all PUBLICLY advocate hanging everyone who mandated the poison mRNA jabs:

Even if we never get justice, publicly talking about hanging them for their crime against humanity helps to protect us all from a repeat.

It is also now absolutely necessary to own a gun to protect your own bloodstream, and that of your spouse and children. Remember they talked about going door-to-door and _forcing_ the deadly injections on everyone. That must be met with gunfire if they attempt it.
