No. It's just a question.

You seem to see a pseudo-intellectual motive in this, but I don't quite understand why.

Yeah, sure, but I get the impression that these people are rarely referred to as such. Then again, maybe that’s just my impression.

Just today I had a meeting with a whole delegation of management consultants: three highly paid people, and they all kept throwing out one buzzword after another. When I asked for clarification or rather for detail, however, it quickly became clear that not a single one of them had even a basic understanding of what they were talking about.

Opportunity plus instinct equals profit.

Yes, that’s true. After World War II, the Nazis—especially those in powerful economic circles—were unfortunately never held accountable for their crimes, and so even in today’s Germany, there are still a whole lot of die-hard Nazis in positions of power.

It may well be that these monsters continue to hatch anti-Semitic plans, and it is undeniable that there are numerous racists not only among the elites.

Nevertheless, I believe that Germany’s continued support for Israel’s atrocities is more due to the fact that the regime there shares their main values: In the original sense of the word, as coined by Mussolini, they are indeed also fascists, even if their religion, due to the racially based ideology of Nazism, should not allow for cooperation with die-hard Nazis.

I think this point demonstrates that these people actually have no values other than the pursuit of their own advantage.

In Germany, it seems to me that the situation is similar to that in the US: There are also numerous Nazis in the MAGA movement, yet even they act contrary to their own twisted ideology by allying themselves with Israel.

It may well be that they do this because they are pursuing some kind of long-term, anti-Semitic master plan. However, I consider it more likely that they simply do it because it is advantageous for them.

In short: I think that, contrary to their own propaganda, the utterly unscrupulous don’t really care at all what religion someone has or what their skin color is. What seems central to these people is simply that their allies are just as willing to walk over dead bodies as they are. And Israel definitely does that, and it also fits well into these monsters’ worldview: Israel, too, pursues deeply racist plans and denies entire peoples the right to live—I think that is the connecting element.

The way I see it, religion, ideology, and so on are always just a means to an end for these people. They are, above all, opportunists whose defining trait is their ruthless inhumanity—and in this respect, fascists of all stripes are the same.

Deutschlands wirtschaftlicher Niedergang geht demnach zurück auf eine verhängnisvolle Melange aus verkrusteten staatlichen und unternehmerischen Strukturen, hohen und über Jahre weiter gestiegenen Kosten, fehlenden Innovationen und einer alternden Gesellschaft, die mehr an das Verteilen und weniger an das Verdienen des Wohlstands denkt.

Ich würde ganz im Gegenteil sagen, dass Deutschlands wirtschaftlicher Niedergang im Wesentlichen darauf zurückgeht, dass die Politik eben nicht an die Verteilung des Wohlstands denkt. Es ist ein neokapitalistisches Märchen, dass die Milliarden, die Privatleute horten, auch nur ansatzweise dem Land zugute kommen würden. Dieses Geld fehlt für Investitionen, da es in irgendwelche Finanzprodukte gesteckt wird, die zwar Fantasie-Profite abwerfen, aber mit der Realität nicht mehr das geringste zu tun haben. Dies hat inzwischen eine derartige Größenordnung erreicht, dass es nicht nur in Deutschland zu einem erheblichen Problem geworden ist. Hinzu kommt, dass diese Zentralisierung von Kapital Innovation durch Monopolbildung verunmöglicht.

Kurzum: Das Problem ist der überbordende Hyper-Kapitalismus, der seine gesellschaftliche Funktion nicht mehr erfüllt, sondern immer mehr dazu dient, die Super-reichen noch reicher zu machen. Dies ist weder sinnvoll noch zukunftsfähig, aber davon wollen "die Wirtschaft" und ihre bestens bezahlten Interessenvertretungen natürlich nichts wissen.

In Germany, this is indeed still (ostensibly) justified by citing the historical responsibility Germany bears toward the victims of the Holocaust. However, this line of reasoning is obviously completely nonsensical, since Germany’s responsibility naturally does not pertain to the State of Israel, but rather to doing everything in its power to prevent genocide—a goal that is, unfortunately, being thwarted by our politicians.

The fact that the political establishment and the powerful elites continue to support Israel despite its undeniable crimes and inhuman atrocities can, in my view, only be explained by corruption and skillful intelligence work on the part of the Mossad. I can no longer think of any other explanation.

In my opinion, the Epstein documents provide a fairly clear picture of how this works.

Eine beeindruckende Erfolgsbilanz für die jahrzehntelange Politik korrupter Funktionäre. Ähhem ... ich meine natürlich: Ein Beleg für die enorme Wirtschaftskompetenz der sogenannten Volksparteien, die den Lobbyismus zum Wohle aller zu nutzen wissen, indem sie strategisch geschickt und unermüdlich netzwerken, um den Neokapitalismus zur alles beherrschenden Maxime zu erheben, sodass schon bald ein wahrer Geldregen auf uns geduldige Bürger herabtröpfeln kann ... trickle down in drei, zwo, eins....

Edit: /s, versteht sich

I do the same, and as a European, I also boycott all U.S. products, because this country not only participates in Israel’s atrocities but even makes them possible in the first place.

Well, people presumably don't want to be arbitrarily arrested and dragged off to a concentration camp ... or they just can't stand fascists. Both are good reasons to boycott this criminal state. It's about time, anyway, since FIFA is a plague too.
