Word of the Day: “Schowo”


We earlier saluted the German “Schoduvel” festival:


And this week has been the tradictional Schowo festival -- Schorndorfer Woche -- in Swabia.
So that is our Word of the Day -- the more precious, as it may have no tomorrow.

 
Damals war's schoen ...

For Germany has blindly imported its own undertakers.

Details here   and here.

Michener monostichs


Re the onslaught of the Tatars in the thirteenth century against eastern Europe:

In a clatter of lances   and a swirl of dust,
they were off to the far adventure.

The result was:

Cities, because of their walls, escaped
these horsemen;  no village did.

As for the heroic but outmatched defenders:

They were Christian  in the great good sense of this word.


(Citations from the historical novel by James Michener, Poland (1983).   Connoisseurs of history might detect a parallel in present events.)

“Entre bleus”



Something potentially quite important happened in Paris last night, which  so far as I can tell  has not been reported by any American source (though it appears in a couple of English-language Russian ones).   A sort of “Blue Lives Matter” demonstration, held by saying they have had it was the increasing tempo of extremely violent (and often unpunished) attacks against les forces de l’ordre.   The demonstators began at the hospital where one of their number, badly burned from a Molotov cocktail launched by a mob of djeunes in the banlieue, was hanging ente la vie et la mort.  They then circled the Arc de Triomphe in their squad cars, sirens blaring -- and (thanks to a new counter-terror law that allows officers to retain their weapons while off-duty) fully armed.

The demo was set up by officers  without the backing of their own (housebroken) union, beginning with this message on social media:

Face à une hiérarchie carriériste, des élites syndicales enlisées dans leurs conflits, et une justice complètement désintéressée par notre sort, nous devons nous souder. Entre bleus.


This all might subside or (goaded by increasingly brazen attacks on them in the banlieues) it could develop rapidly, in a way that might catch the bien-pensant press with their pants down, reduced to a headline “French Government Falls in Coup”, which Americans will not have seen coming.  Check these out:



Trump and his supporters are late to the parade.  For some years now, Europe has been the crucible in which the Clash of Civilizations has been fought.



[Update 19 October 2016] Ça continue:



«Ras le bol ! »


[Update 20 October 2016] Ça continue encore:

Plusieurs centaines de policiers se sont réunis au Trocadero, en face de la tour Eiffel . Ils se sont dirigés ensuite vers les Champs-Elysées, en appelant les passants ou les habitants à venir les rejoindre.
«Cazeneuve t'es foutu, la police la police est dans la rue», scandaient les manifestants à l'adresse du ministre de l'Intérieur, ainsi que «Falcone démission» à l'adresse de Jean-Marc Falcone, le directeur de la police nationale.
En civil, certains portant un brassard ou un foulard masquant en partie leur visage, certains brandissaient des pancartes sur lesquelles on pouvait notamment lire: «Marre d'en prendre plein la gueule», «Ras le bol» ou encore «Soutien à nos collègues blessés».
Un petit nombre de personnes, munis d'affiches réclamant «la vérité» pour des proches victimes selon eux de violences policières, a rapidement été écarté par les forces de l'ordre.



[Update 23 October 2016]  The nightly demonstrations by fed-up police continue, in Paris and in provincial cities.  These have been peaceful -- unlike the anti-cop counterdemonstrators:

La manifestation, interdite par le préfet de la Loire, a pourtant bien eu lieu. Et a laissé des traces dans la ville. Samedi après-midi, le défilé d’un collectif pour « le désarmement de la police et la démilitarisation des conflits » s’est soldé par de nombreuses dégradations à Saint Etienne.
Des abribus, des distributeurs de banque, la vitrine d’une agence bancaire et le local de la fédération départementale du Parti socialiste ont notamment été saccagés. Devant la Bourse du travail, plusieurs prises de parole ont d’abord eu lieu pour « dénoncer les répressions policières sous toutes leurs formes et la guerre coloniale menée par la France au Moyen-Orient ».



[Update 4 November 2016]  Now a few firemen are joining in:

Quelque 500 policiers et personnes les soutenant se sont rassemblés vendredi soir devant le commissariat de Béziers et la sous-préfecture, environ 200 devant la mairie d'Avignon, une centaine au Mans, et 700 à Lyon.
A Béziers, les policiers municipaux ont été rejoints par des policiers nationaux des commissariats de Béziers et d'Agde, par des pompiers, des habitants de Béziers, par deux magistrats et par une dizaine d'avocats. Ils ont scandé "Policiers en colère" et "La racaille en prison", et portaient des pancartes "J'aime ma police".
A Avignon, les manifestants ont entonné La Marseillaise devant l'hôtel de ville, sur la place de l'Horloge, et les agents, qui étaient deux fois plus nombreux que vendredi dernier, ont été applaudis par une dizaine de pompiers qui avaient pris part au rassemblement.

Notably, just as with the Manif pour tous,  Marine Le Pen is among the abonnés absents, providing neither leadership nor even support.   She arrived at her present position by an accident of family ties (which she later severed);  perhaps she is not up to the task.

[Update 13 Nov 2016]  German police, cowed into masochism by their politically-correct masters, also have cause for complaint.  Here, in North Rhine-Westphalia, an attempt to write a parking ticket caused an attack by a clan of Turks, that injured ten cops, sending one to the hospital.  They felt no qualms about attacking police, including the backups, knowing that the police would not defend themselves with force.  Most German news sources don't mention the ethnicity of the attackers;  here, in a radical break with its past P.C. practice, Die Welt does:

https://www.welt.de/vermischtes/article159455674/Gewaltexzess-nach-Streit-ueber-falsch-geparktes-Auto.html

This sort of anti-police (anti-everyone, actually) "clan" attack, has become commoner in Germany, typically involving Turks or Lebanese.


[Update 22 February 2017]  Here is a sample of the things French cops have to put up with:

L’embuscade se met en place aux alentours de 19 heures. En patrouille à bord de leur véhicule de service, les policiers municipaux circulent dans la Grande rue, qui, malgré son nom, est en fait une étroite voie sinueuse qui débouche en face du marché couvert. Subitement, un piéton assène des coups de pied sur la portière de leur voiture. Le policier au volant descend pour demander des comptes. Dès qu’il a posé le pied par terre, une bande d’une quinzaine de personnes surgit d’une ruelle adjacente.
Les agents expérimentés, l’un d’eux étant notamment un ancien militaire, se défendent pendant huit minutes, avant l’arrivée de renforts. «Je salue leur maîtrise. Ils n’ont même pas sorti leurs tonfas face à des agresseurs à mains nues, assure Eric Mehlhorn. La légitime défense, c’est répondre à la hauteur de l’attaque. Ils ont fait preuve de courage.»
http://www.leparisien.fr/savigny-sur-orge-91600/deux-policiers-municipaux-lynches-dans-un-guet-apens-a-savigny-sur-orge-22-02-2017-6701223.php

You might wonder why the two beaten policemen did not fire on their attackers.  Well, they couldn’t:  they’re not allowed to bear arms.  All they had were little tonfas -- and these they didn’t even use.   Their role, under the Socialos, is to lie there quietly and get stomped on.  And stomped on.  And stomped on.

[Update, May Day 2017]  This is what policemen in Paris have to put up with:


Flic rôti à la mode de Taubira


Their response?  Nothing harsher than tear-gas.

[Update 14 juillet 2017]


Even as Bastille-day festivities  bathed the Champs-Elysées, the racaille of the banlieue were setting items on fire, hoarding projectiles, and laying an ambush for the police who responded to the provocations.   
But this time, one policement, being beaten by multiple assailants, actually dared to fire back:

The View from History


Apart from brief respites here and there (usually not extending beyond the boundaries of a city-state), the history of the world is at best  tragic --  at the frequent worst, not rising to that Sophoclean-Shakespearian dignity, since merely mad.

Americans at present harbor the impression   that we live in uniquely querulous/perilous  times.   A glance at the record  will disabuse you.  Throughout almost all of our national history, matters have been much worse (save, again, here and there -- Ben Franklin’s Philadelphia;  the Boston/Cambridge/Concord of the Transcendentalists).  The reason we nonetheless nurse this misimpression  is that  those of us in the Baby Boom (or their parents, remembering raising them)  grew up in exceptionably untroubled times (be it only on the surface, which was all we kids perceived) -- and this, not merely in this hamlet or that, but pretty much across the land.  There was so much hope -- much of it rewarded.   True, there were threats then, graver than even those now, as of an obliterating nuclear war (that might be triggered, moreover, by misunderstanding or accident).  Yet somehow such matters  receded beind the horizon of consciousness, so pleased were we  with all the babies, milkshakes, the G.I. bill, tailfins -- so much that was suddenly  new.

That might sound like Pollyanna’s comfort -- “It might be worse”.  But actually it is the flipside of that bright twinkling coin, that casts its shadow.  For the clear statistical implication is that our recent state is no more than a blessed bubble, metastable, which a pinprick might annihilate, and history revert to form.


~

A remarkable, very readable essay of historical pessimism, is Lord Raglan’s How Came Civilization (1939).   His answer:   It came via discoveries that happened once, and then diffused.   Most societies never invent anything, and, left to their own devices, degenerate, forgetting even the skills they once had, unless these come to be re-imported.  The candle, once snuffed, does not relight itself.

A much more widely held theory  is that nations, like individuals, have their day.  When that is done, and when they have made every contribution to progress that they are capable of making, then the mysterious force which controls the universe  sweeps them away  to make room for younger and more vigorious races, which will begin again  where the old ones left off …
When, however, we examine this theory, we find that it will not fit the facts.  The builders of Babylon and Borobudur, of Uxmal and Zimbabwe, and of many another great city of the past, were succeeded, not by people who could revive and carry forward their civilization, but by the savage, the jungle, or the desert.
--p. 25

(Here he is speaking of ancient Zimbabwe;  but indeed, in the post-Colonial nation of the same name, the devolution is repeating itself.)

The exhausted cultural autocides of Europe, resigned before the prospect of le grand remplacement, or even welcoming its hordes with teddy-bears,  may hope, consciously or not, for such renewal -- but alas:

There is nothing in the history of Europe, or any other part of the world, to support the view that an occasional barbarian invasion  supplies civilization with a necessary tonic, a view which would involve our keeping enough barbarians in being  to sack London and Paris every few centuries, whenever it might be considered that we had reached the appropriate degree of senility.
-- p. 27

Of barbarians (fortunately for that Weltanschauung) the world now has a plentiful supply.

Germany welcomes migrants to its bosom


The bien-pensant German press -- and nobody pensent so bien as they -- is running a ludicrous story today:

Umfrage zeigt
Hilfsbereitschaft der Deutschen gegenüber Flüchtlingen ist ungebrochen hoch

http://www.focus.de/politik/deutschland/integration/fluechtlingshilfe-umfrage-hilfsbereitschaft-der-deutschen-gegenueber-fluechtlingen-ist-ungebrochen-hoch_id_5170484.html

This purported poll was conducted -- ex parte -- by the EKD (Care-bears Church of Germany).   The article is topped with this photo, which is inadvertently revealing:


See anything you like, sailor?


And no, that isn’t from The Onion -- go online and see for yourself.


Incredulous readers comment:

Eine leicht bekleidete hellhäutige Frau … umringt von „Schutzsuchenden“ geht es eigentlich noch provokanter ?
--
Leider kann ich mich nicht daran erinnern, dass mich eine dralle Seminarleiterin so offenherzig angelächelt und mir ständig deutlich gemacht hat, wo ich denn hinschauen muss, damit ich "Jana" nicht vergesse.Können sich die arabischen Neubürger überhaupt konzentrieren und was lernen,wenn ihnen dieser junge blonde Teenie (Wie alt mag sie sein? 25 ? Vielleicht Lehramtsstudentin?) ihre evangelischen tittis aufdrängt.
--
Das Symbolbild mit Janas Dekolltee wirkt unrein…
--
Das Bild ist doch wohl Satire...oder!???
Ja, was für eine super Deutschstunde, da freut sich doch der junge allein reisende Syrer. Zuhause muss das ganze vollverschleierte Paket gekauft werden und hier gibts die Obstabteilung gratis. Was für ein Ausschnitt... Der Bericht kann nur ein schlechter Scherz sein, einer der jeden denkenden Deutschen als blöde Nuss darstellt. Wer glaubt noch so einen Scheiß?



[Update 23 December 2015]  Outside the protected precincts of the rot/grün/EKD milieu,  reports from the street paint a starkly different picture.  Thus Die Zeit, which long and stubbornly hewed to a care-bears approach to the swarms of alien intruders, seems to have had a reality-shock (“a neoconservative is a liberal who has been mugged”), and now publishes news from which they would previously have averted their gaze:

Aus Angst vor Flüchtlingen wünschen sich viele Deutsche eine Schusswaffe zu Weihnachten. Ein Tag im Waffenladen
http://www.zeit.de/2015/52/schusswaffen-kauf-deutschland-weihnachten

To find reports of the sort of trends and incidents which have the native population of Germany on edge, you have to hunt a bit in the local press;  but there is ample evidence to find.

Besonders das weibliche Krankenhauspersonal drohte, keinen Nachtdienst mehr zu machen. Deswegen wird die Notaufnahme jetzt nachts überwacht. Grund ist das zum Teil recht aggressive Verhalten von häufig alkoholisierten männlichen Asylbewerbern. Die Anwesenheit der Security wirke deeskalierend, die reine Zahl der Übergriffe habe aber nicht abgenommen, so der Geschäftsführer der Sigmaringer Kreisklinik.  … Besonders männliche Flüchtlinge aus dem arabischen Raum ließen es gegenüber Frauen am nötigen Respekt fehlen. Mitarbeiterinnen seien auch schon angespuckt und gebissen worden.

Quite a different scenario than the one which buxom Jana staged for the cameras!

A policewoman from an earlier, Christian cohort of legal immigrants, is aghast at what-all has been washing into Germany of late:

Die Streifenpolizistin und Autorin Tania Kambouri beklagt eine zunehmende Gewalt und Respektlosigkeit gegenüber der Polizei – vor allem durch junge islamische Männer.

[Update 4 January]  On New Year's Eve, a crowd of a thousand Arabs and Africans  swarmed the Hauptbahnhof of Cologne, in the shadow of the cathedral, throwing fireworks into the crowds of revelers, robbing them, mobbing women and raping.  What is remarkable is that this news was initially suppressed -- only today has the media dam crumbled.
Cowed by political correctness, the police did nothing -- so far, not a single arrest.

Es sollen ungeheuerliche Szenen gewesen sein, die sich in der Silvesternacht im Schatten des Kölner Doms abgespielt haben. Unzählige Menschen sind nach Köln gekommen, um hier ins neue Jahr zu feiern. Reisende und Feiernde strömen über den Bahnhofsvorplatz in die Stadt. Dann werden Feuerwerkskörper in die Menge abgefeuert.
Eine Gruppe von rund tausend stark alkoholisierten Männern – so beschreibt es die Polizei – verhält sich völlig enthemmt, aggressiv und gänzlich unbeeindruckt von der Anwesenheit der Polizisten.
Bei den Tätern solle es sich dem Polizeipräsidenten zufolge um Männer handeln, die "dem Aussehen nach aus dem arabischen oder nordafrikanischen Raum" stammen, so hätten es Zeugen übereinstimmend beschrieben.
Polizeidirektor Temmes Angaben zufolge waren "alle Einsatzkräfte, die wir zur Verfügung hatten", vor Ort. Doch die Beamten bemerkten anscheinend nichts von den sexuellen Übergriffen und Diebstählen. "Wir haben erst durch die Anzeigen davon erfahren",
"Das ist eine völlig neue Dimension der Gewalt. So etwas kennen wir bisher nicht", sagt der NRW-Landesvorsitzende der GdP, Arnold Plickert. "Ein Täter hat einer Zivilpolizistin in die Hose gefasst".

[Update 26 January 2016]   Sweden too, has some rather informally attired asylum-workers.  Here is the news photo that appeared widely in the media (though partially censored in some), after Alexandra Mezher was stabbed to death by a fifteen-year-old illegal alien:

Abschaffung Deutschlands: Qui prodest?


Notes towards an essay on "Ecstatic Defeatism".

[Dies ist bei weitem kein ordendlicher Aufsatz, sondern nur eine Tafel, worauf ich Zitaten und Gedanken kleben kann.]



Das ist alles nicht ganz neu.

Die angestammte Sprache  mag aufgegeben werden, es mag sich nicht einmal eine bemerkliche Sprachmischung vollziehen, dafür wird eine fruchtbare Kulturmischung nicht ausbleiben.    Unter allen großen Völkern der Erde  entnationalisiert sich keines so leicht  wie die Deutschen und, da die “vagina gentium” auch heute noch diesen Namen verdient, in solchen Maßen. 
--  Hugo Schuchardt,  (1884), in Leo Spitzer, ed., Hugo Schuchardt-Brevier (1921; 2nd edn. 1928), p. 348


~

Ferner hätten die Parteien schuld,   
erst, zum Beispiel während der Schleicher-periode, durch das große Ungeschick ihres Manövrierens,
dann durch die Schwäche und Feigheit, mit der sie ihre Vernichtung hinnahmen:  ja, wohl gar noch eilten, sich selber zu vernichten,  bevor man sie dazu zwang.
--Golo Mann, Deutsche Geschichte des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts (1958; 1992), p. 798

Contemporaneous with that, was the baffling phenomenon of “premature” French defeatism in the face of a resurgent Germany, an enigma of mass psychology.
After all, they had won the last war against Germany  (albeit with a late assist from the Yanks);  moreover, throughout the ‘twenties and even into the ‘thirties, France had considerably superior military means, which they constantly undervalued (as William Shirer consistently emphasizes -- and marvels at -- in his magisterial The Collapse of the Third Republic (1969)).

True, there were a few active partisans of Germany in France, even after the rise of Hitler;  yet France’s abject capitulation -- by degrees, over years -- was not the result of any conspiratorial Fifth Column.   The whole nation took psychological shelter in what we may term the “Maginot fantasy”.   Not as that lesson of military history is commonly misread (for which see here).   Rather, at the same time  the country told itself that it was safe behind its cosy walls -- it yet refused to complete the fortificaions.  It is as though your house had three walls and a stout oak front-door with many locks, but nothing behind.   The French might call it a psychose;  we shall be content with “cognitive-dissonance” (anglicè, “doublethink”).



The elites followed suit:

There are always people willing to throw good money after bad, and the situation became that Germany was  in reality  expanding its armament industry  by new borrowings.  The potential enemies of Germany in the next war -- France, the small succession states, Great Britain, and even Soviet Russia -- were financing the effort that Germany may make some day to destroy them.  The process reached its most extreme phase when, in December, 1934, the Bank of England granted a $3,750,000 credit to Germany in order “to facilitate the mobilization of German commercial credits”, i.e., so that Germany might have means to meet old debts -- and build airplanes that can cross the English Channel in seven minutes.
-- John Gunther, Inside Europe (1938 revised edition), p. 100

Notice that that was published in 1938 -- thus, without benefit of hindsight.  (Gunther’s whole book is both prescient and brilliant.)

Far-sighted

More on the shadow-play of German reparations  here:

For over four years now, I have been following (and blogging about) the increasing  Überfremdung and Völkeraustausch that threatens Europe.   And marveled at the relative lack (until quite recently) of coverage (other than edulcorated coverage) in the European MSM.   Nor is it simply a matter of out-of-touch elites or a media conspiracy of silence:  for all those governments, from Sweden to France and Germany, who have been fomenting the inflow, and turning a blind eye to the spread of no-go zones, were popularly elected.   When Italy used its coast guard, not to guard its coast, but to serve a tax-funded water-taxi for illegals, an American could only marvel.   Then, when Merkel had her Mother-Theresa-epiphany, and conjured up an ingathering of all the wretched of the earth -- nebenbei tossing the Schengen agreement  unceremoniously onto the compost-heap of History --  her grand gesture evoked hundreds of giddily euphoric Milchmädchen & Teddybärschenker at the Bahnhofs, literally applauding the intruders like some victorious invading army, or perhaps the Beatles.   What are we to make of all this?

I still don’t understand it.   But increasingly (in the Readers’-Comments columns) we see similar expressions of bafflement by Germans themselves.  “I feel as though I have strayed into the wrong film,” one wrote.  “Is this really happening?”


~

The nation itself has as much right to nationhood as the fractional minorities have to autonomy -- to put it mildly.  You cannot follow the practice of self-determination to its logical extreme  without reaching an absurdity -- that the state itself is sacrificed to its minorities.
-- John Gunther, Inside Europe (1938 revised edition), p. 103n



[Update 28 October 2015]  A nice, tidy, non-intergalactic, non-Illuminati conspiracy-theory:

Assange: WikiLeaks vorliegende Depeschen zeigen Plan zur strategischen Entvölkerung von Syrien und EU-Flüchtlingskrise

„Gegner des Landes initiieren eine strategische Entvölkerung, um so die kämpferischen Kapazitäten der Regierung zu beschränken. Es ist vor allem die Mittelklasse die aus Syrien flieht. Ingenieure, Manager, Angestellte, da sie über die notwendigen Sprachkenntnisse, Geld und Verbindungen verfügen. Genau diese Berufsgruppen braucht man, um einen Regierung am Laufen zu halten.“

Possibly in the back of the minds of the ecstatic defeatists:

The decadent civilizations of the past  were not saved by their philosophers, but by the influx of simpler peoples  who had centuries yet to live  before their minds should be ripe for despair.

Wir schaffen das


Angela Merkel persiste et signe :  “Wir schaffen das.”
Zwar;  aber welches  “das” ??
Offensichtlich:  Völkeraustausch  (“le grand remplacement”).
Wahrscheinlich versprach sie sich:  Wir schaffen das  ab.  


[Update 8 Oct 2015] A video about just how bad it's got -- censored, then restored by samizdat:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yN_hn933B0
Dieses Interview wurde anschliessend bei N24 in der Mediathek wieder gelöscht. Vielleicht war es einfach zu ehrlich?

[Update 8 October 2015]
In Thüringens Landeshauptstadt erhalten die Mittwochskundgebungen der AfD immer mehr Zulauf. Der Ton ist scharf: Kanzlerin Merkel solle sich wegen ihrer Asylpolitik „ein anderes Volk suchen“, sagte ein prominenter AfD-Politiker.

Aber das macht sie schon doch!  

North Pole prepares for massive influx


As the masses of undocumented (or counterfeit-documented) immigrants  continue to roll over Europe, the strategy has been consistent:  we might dub it Delayed Dominoes.   In each case, the impacted state follows the following playbook:

(1) First, make a show of putting up some resistence, defending your borders.
(2)  Wheel around 180 degrees, let everyone in with no delay or identity-check, whoosh them onto free trains or buses heading north.   End of problem.

This strategy has been followed, to their own satisfaction, successively by Greece, Macedonia, Croatia, Hungary, and Austria.  Each waves the hordes onwards, till they pile up in Germany.

~

This morning brought some long-overdue news:  Bavaria, whose Munich Bahnhof was the central distribution point for teddy-bears by much-photographed smiling, even ecstatic Milchmädchens,  is slowly waking up to what it hath wrought.  Voices of concern have arisen even from the SPD, which normally inhabits an alternate universe;  but city mayors do not have that luxury, they see the crisis up close and personal ("hautnah miterlebt" is the German phrase for this).  And so Seehofer (CSU) has announced …. (drum-roll) … a state of

NOTWEHR

(Emergency Defense.)
So!  He’s going to actually close Bavaria’s foreign borders, is he?  (Bit of a reach, that, a Bundesland having its own foreign policy;  but since the Federal state itself has none apart from sheer surrender -- as Caesar used to say, Extremis malis  extrema remedia.)

Well, no;  he hasn’t actually got the backbone for that.  Instead, he is following strategy (2):  Let everyone in, but don’t let them stay, just shoot them all north and let other people deal with it.

~

Future development are predictable (as has been the storyline so far, given that no-one in Europe has a pair of balls).   Already we have seen refugees leaving generous but overcrowded German, of their own accord, plowing into Denmark and being waved on north, to Sweden.  Sweden, however, is already swamped;  remarkably, some immigrants have already fled the resulting mess and have been forcing their way into Finland:  where, however,  the citizenry (not the government) has been making a show of resistence.  For that, they get condemned by all the Gutmenschen of the world.   Clearly, there is just one solution:    Provide free transportation for everyone, yet onwards … to Ultima Thule … to the North Pole.
Which, by the way, is extremely underpopulated.

~

So far, the Polar Bears are taking this surprisingly well.
“We don’t anticipate any hitches,” said spokesbear Peter Polar in an interview with an admiring BBC.  “We’re a simple folk, living on fish.  We don’t eat pork, we don’t drink wine, we don’t listen to music, and our females don’t wear make-up or miniskirts -- all the things that would get you whipped or beheaded in a Salafist state.  We should be able to live peacefully forever, side by side.”
“But -- “ interjected a newsman from Realityland,  “your females go completely naked.”
Pause for reflection.  Reluctantly,  “Ye-es, that could present a problem.”

Deutschland schafft sich ab


Circa twenty years ago, after the Berlin Wall had fallen, and the two halves of Germany were being painfully reassembled, the New Jersey-based company Franklin Electronic Publishers, where I worked as Editor-in-Chief, hosted two executives in lexicography from the venerable Langenscheidt company.   I picked them up at their hotel near my home in Princeton, and drove them to our headquarters in Mount Holly.   On the way, I asked them about the affect of Reunification on the German language.

To my surprise, they were not especially interested in the question.   More surprising was the reason :  in their estimation, the German language, far from being strengthened by the new political accession of fellow-speakers, would recede more and more from use, and eventually go the way of Danish.   And to my astonishment (particularly coming from German bilingual-lexicographers, for whom their language, and the desires of foreigners to learn it, is meat and drink), this prospect left them curiously indifferent.
By most of the Gutmenschen of today’s Europe, such acedia (misconstrued as sang-froid) in the face of the expected inevitable, would be reckoned admirable.   But I found it strangely troubling.

Nota bene:  The unreferenced expected inheritor of the German-language mantle  was English.  Little did they imagine that, in some now-conceivable scenarios, it could one day be Arabic.

With comparable astonishment, the world now beholds Germany’s self-dilution, quite possibly leading to self-dissolution. 



Apart from the dissolution of the Soviet Union, this might be the beginnings of the most significant geopolitical (voire, demographic -- which ultimately trumps all else) development in our lifetimes.
To all this, I shall have no comment.
In part, because it’s not principally my battle (though I care about this deeply).
In part, because hardly anyone reads this blog anyway (nor is politics  really its brief; vielmehr, Theologia Mathematika).
But principally, because there is already abundant intelligent and impassioned commentary from Germans, and from all who care about Germany -- nay, Deutschtum überhaupt.  -- Not, however, in the pages of the MainStream Media, which has long been gurgling with Gutmenschenschwärmerei.   Rather, in the lengthy and well-reasoned readers’ comments, on sites like Telepolis or Die Zeit (in the latter case, massively contrary to the bisounours editorial line.)  [Later, I hope to append a selection of these.

Kurz gefasst:
Apart from Thilo Sarrazin’s monster bestseller, from which I have borrowed the title of this post, consult:

Hurra, wir kapitulieren! Von der Lust am Einknicken ist ein 2006 erschienenes Buch von Henryk M. Broder, das einerseits die Haltung der Regierungen Europas gegenüber Islamisten, andererseits die angebliche Zurückhaltung und Selbstzensur der intellektuellen Linken Deutschlands gegenüber dem Islam scharf und auf polemische Weise kritisiert. 

Hurra!  Wir kapitulieren !!!

Interlude:    Die Deutsche Sprache schafft sich ab

Using my wife’s tablet, I attempted to bring up DeutscheWelle.  It brought up only the English-language site.  I specifically added “.de”; stubbornly, it changed that to “.com” and re-presented the English site.  So I went to the German Wikipedia and clicked on the link labeled “Offizielle Webpräsenz”:  it too brought me to the English site!

Well, maybe that’s just the tablet.  It has recently introduced a dumbed-down version of news.google.[…];  I was able to revert to the original presentation on the English version, with a few clicks,  but these didn’t work for the French and German.
So I tried it on the MacIntosh:  same deal.

Ultimately I found the real site by having bookmarked an article, back when you could still get to it easily, and from this clicked through to: http://www.dw.com/de/themen/s-9077.  [That is just today’s;  I never was able to pull up a permanent German homepage.]

In Deutschland herrscht  “helpers’ high” (a.k.a. “Sommermärchen”,  “Glückswelle”, & “Willkommenshysterie”).   It is a strange phenomenon.  At the Bahnhofs, ecstatic welcome is extended to Germany’s future (and partly present) gravediggers.    This euphoria is hailed in all of Germany’s mainstream media, and nay-sayers are smacked with the “Nazikeule”.


Our genes stopped working.
Could you replace us please?
(We left the key  under the mat.)

The reasons for all this, surpass my understanding. 
The madness of crowds.   So was ist in Mitteleuropa schon passiert, zur Lebenszeit Freuds und Jungs;  aber weder dieser noch jener  hat das Phänomen  richtig zu bewerten gewusst.

For now, we’ll simply cite a sharp-eyed reader’s comment:


Und wehe es argumentiert jemand dagegen. Er wird zwar nicht als
"Volksschädling" bezeichnet, aber sehr ähnlich behandelt.
Stigmatisiert wird er, ausgeschlossen, erhält Redeverbot und ist
sozial ausgeschlossen vom kollektiven Glücksempfinden.

Und 1933 in Deutschland und 38 in Österreich war es sicher ähnlich.
Diese zermürbenden Parteistreitereien waren plötzlich weg, alle im
Gefühl der glänzenden Zukunft geeint.

Wir erleben ein Massenphänomen.
Wir erleben Politik der Gefühle.
Wir erleben Faschismus in einer ganz unerwartenden Form.

Swimming in the river of humanity are shady characters, too, admitted criminals, ISIS sympathizers and a couple of guys from Fallujah, one with a fresh bullet wound, who when asked their occupation seemed confused.
“Army,” said one. His friend corrected him. “We’re all drivers,” he said.

Seit 2006 hat der Verfassungsschutz Sami A. im Visier. Er soll enger Vertrauter von Osama Bin Laden gewesen sein und zu seiner Leibgarde gehört haben. Die Stadt Bochum wollte ihn bereits mehrfach in sein Heimatland zurückschicken. Am Mittwoch (15.06.2016) hat das Verwaltungsgericht Gelsenkirchen entschieden, dass er nicht abgeschoben werden darf.
