First Short-Time Work, Then Redundancy, Economy Collapse And The Rage Explodes

As a reporter I reported on collapsing societies, including the former Yugoslavia. Now every day here in my so called "civilised world" I can see the same symptoms:  a increasingly polarised, insecure population. For citizens living in a socially unstable society it is becoming some how impossible to understand how fragile a crumbling financial, social and political system is before an implosion (or explosion) is bringing it all to a halt. 

Since 2011, this legendary "Euro-Crisis", I see many harbingers of a slow but accelerating collapse:

• unmaintained infrastructures,
• chronic underemployment and unemployment,
• increasing police violence and violence by "demonstrators" of ultra rightwing fascist "Black-Blocks" some of ultra leftwing fascist "Anti-Fa",
• political paralysis and stagnation,
• an economy built on debt,
• rampages,
• opiate abuse,
• rising suicide rates,
• military expansion with steady increase in arms purchases
• dissolution of the formerly called "social net" which is supposed to protect people not to become a lumpen proletariat.

This development is now, since the out-break of the so called "Covid-19", gaining momentum on a monthly basis. At the same time of massive redundancies in planning a tiny, corrupt clique from business and politics is using a revolving door just to become a CEO, CFO or other member of the EMT. At the same time censorship of information (Assange & Snowdon), a cacophony of electronic-digital hallucinations (algorithms), is creeping through every channel of the apparently conformist media. 

The press has become one of the main pillars of the despotism of e.g. appointed, not by its citizen elected, political responsible of the EU bureaucracy. Journos and their "experts" babble endlessly like the courtiers of the 18th century at the court of Versailles about the weaknesses of the monarch, while the farmers lack bread. 

I'm sure that much happens unintentionally and is not planned. But think twice, is it not designed to distract us from the depressing sight of what has become a "social market economy" which has made Germany the strongest economy in Europe? To me it looks like an attempt to keep us trapped in illusions. 

These were all the warning signs from the countries I reported: they're violence, they're wars and they're intrigues. I would be glad if I was wrong. But I have seen a lot of things before the virus was hiding the fan... Much of it is now happen here in our previously much stronger countries, whether Europe or America. The circumstances which are now topical with this pandemic and its consequences with sudden outbreaks of violent BLM and LGDP action are only the drop that will bring the barrel to overflow, - or we will all become quite like people of China. 

As soon as the economy collapses and the rage explodes in a firestorm across the country, the political freaks will appear, making Trump look shrewd and benign.
