Our democracies are failing in part because the public institutions are all chronically under-financed, and the reason for that is that about half of the wealth belongs to a handful of people who have managed to make sure that nobody will ever ask them to contribute.
I am seriously losing hope about politics in my country. Honestly I’m not letting it ruin my mood too much, because I’m doing pretty well atm. But the whole narrative is so fucked. Everything is moving to the right.
It all benefits Putin by the way. We could see a Europe with AfD en Front National in power. If that happens I think it’s unavoidable that Europe reconciles with Russia, the EU will cease to exist other than as Putin’s toy. We’ll see Putin do a victory speech in the EU parliament.
In the Netherlands after the next election, we could see Wilders, Eerdmans or Baudet as prime minister. They’re all jokers. They’re no serious politicians. These people are so dumb, it could be as bad as Trump.
