We won. Now, was that too much to ask for?
But, on a more serious note, it's incredible how close we came to ending up in some pseudo-sectarian dictatorship. The kind of craziness we laughed at in Turkmenistan has become practically official policy and criticizing it has started to become punishable by law. Not to mention the quasi-ecological policies that do practically nothing for the environment, but significantly impoverish individuals.
We are seeing the last gasps of that madness in Europe, where Starmer and his team are protecting Pakistani child sex traffickers, and that EU parasite Thierry Breton is announcing that he will stop the elections in Germany if the AfD wins, just as has already been successfully done in Romania.
It's already a bit funny to watch, because we can all see that this story has completely fallen apart and that these last idiots from the jungle no longer have any influence. But it was a bit lacking to have such people working on our heads and dictating what we can and cannot say, and maybe even send us to the Eastern Front to defend LGBTQ values. Then it wouldn't be funny at all.
Personally, I think that I will start to deal less with these topics, and this is apparently a finished story, although it will probably take a few more years until things fall apart completely.
The pendulum will surely go the other way now, I just hope it doesn't go too far, as it usually does. But until then, we surely have at least ten years of normality. Let's enjoy them!
