Am still hoping for some kind of positive domino effect but very uncertain where the starting point could be, not many lights out there at the moment...

Anyways, would like to thank you for your great writing! It helps.

Same here, Ingrun, mainly because 'hope dies last'.

As an aside, thank you kindly for your nice words. It is comments like yours that make me smile--and continue with a vengeance. It is re-assuring to know there's other, like-minded people out there.

Have a good day!

At least there is a protest vote and it’s being counted. Let’s see how far RFK Jr. gets in the US

Well, what's that saying again: 'if elections changed anything, they'd have been forbidden long ago' or the like.

As to RFK, I've refrained from weighing in on this one so far, but--in a brevity: I suppose his life is in danger; now, after decades of anti-Pharma activism, he sounds ever more like his uncle and father.

Well, it is definitely another type of war against humanity. I willing to speculate those in power are not human.

They most certainly left what I think 'makes us human' behind quite a while ago.

Do you see anybody on the horizon?

Sadly, no, hence I suppose someone will 'emerge' at some point, perhaps in the shape of a 'saviour' or 'redeemer' style who will promise to fight the most Quixotic of all fights: vs. 'the monsters'.

The current crop of systemic opposition figures does not fit that particular bill.

In Germany, we seem to be more masochistic. Ok, in Thuringia the AfD got more popular now.

The degenerated-to-politica-weapon (if it ever was anything else) "Verfassungschutz" now promptly delivered the verdict that the AfD (basically neoliberals with some formerly conservative parties' refugees) youth organization was "markedly rightwing extremist" (because, in a nutshell, they believe that our own ethnical group matters).

If this was even needed, IDK, but am quite sure that most, mainly the former West-german part, will still be good doggies and vote for our uniparty block again.

That's the curious thing: I recall a conversation with Czech colleagues in Prague in early November 2021--and they told me that 'the young', i.e., the post-Communism generation, swallowed the entire Covid narrative hook, line, and sinker whereas them, people in the 50s and 60s with, in their words, 'living memory of dictatorship', where more sceptical (although they were all-in on the pro-vaxx stuff).

As an OT aside, please let me know if you require further political musings about 'saving Germany' from my side, an Austrian citizen with a funny accent. Muahahahaha.

It takes a lot of courage these days to publish and stand up for freedom and against injustice. I am very grateful for that. Each voice is immensely important! So thank you again.
