quotingThere are countries in the world that practice consistent self-sabotage over at least the last ~10 years. I happened to live in two of them: Greece and Germany. I heard of others as well, and the UK seems to be part of that club, too.

For Greece 🇬🇷
- Crippling small and medium businesses with over-burdening regulation, taxes and social security, without meaningful benefit in return.
- Small and medium scale farming doesn't make economic sense. Farmers only do it for fun or are forced into non-organic mono-culture practices. They are being made dependent on intentional EU subsidies. While the EU is gracefully talking about protecting biodiversity etc.
- Land-owner rights are put into question for years stifling any meaningful investment.
- Public infrastructure is sold to foreign investors, even the most important industry of all, Greek tourism and cultural heritage.
- It's a guinea pig country for centralized administration and CBDC regulations in Europe, cash payments are already restricted to a few hundred EUR ... the list goes on.
For Gernany 🇩🇪
- Energy, economic and environmental policies are highly moralistic, but make little to no sense in practice, to the detriment of what the German industry and culture used to stand for.
- War monger wolves in sheep skin making German foreign policy, for the "common global good".
- German press is bathing in intellectual self-righteousness, while oblivious to the obvious demise.
For the UK 🇬🇧
- Eroding formerly sacred human rights such as free speech.
- Tax and finance regulations drive wealth out of the country. All going mostly unnoticed by the general population who's eagerly looking for scapegoats left and right.
There's more in other countries, too, especially in the EU. That's just what I allow myself to have an opinion on. After all I have learned about the 'nobleness' of Western democracy in my youth, it is highly bizarre to see this happening in front of our eyes.
More argumentation only leads to more confusion and antagonism. A shift in consciousness is what's needed. But the survival instincts are already starting to take over and things are running their course.
There's lots of good stuff happening as well, don't get me wrong: Spiritual healing and understanding is on the rise, Bitcoin, Nostr, open source freedom tools and community-building are on the move ... but the divide and confusion sometimes is sickening.
Keep your heart, mind and body healthy and sane out there. Be free 🧡
