Young Germans are rebelling…
In response to draconian COVID lockdowns, censorship, media bias, economic collapse, and infrastructure decay, German youth have swung to the right. [emphasis, links added]
Germany’s political establishment will soon pay dearly for its errors, arrogance, and insolence.
A profound and accelerating mood swing is underway across Germany, and nothing is stopping it. And the more the establishment tries to denounce it, the more the elites are getting rebuffed.
Germans, who once seemed to be caught up in dreamland and unwilling to wake up from it, appear to have finally awakened to the fact the country is in deep DEEP trouble. Especially the under-25 age group.
Quiet But Powerful Rebellion
German youth have woken up and have undergone a truly profound change of mind. The days of Fridays for Future, led by Greta Thunberg, have disappeared faster than a snowball on a hot summer day.
Indeed, the youth have kept their “we’ll be watching you” promise, and, ironically, hate what they are now seeing: a crumbling of their country and future.
Now they are leading a quiet but powerful rebellion.
COVID Lies
It started in 2020. Recall how just a few years ago, the German youth population was all caught up with Fridays For Future hype and climate hysteria. Then, suddenly, it got interrupted by the COVID pandemic.
The youth, like everyone else, got locked down and were forced to abide by ridiculous rules and experimental medical treatment. No age group suffered more than young people under 20.
Today these young people have since realized that the media and political establishment lied to them.
War lies and energy woes
The next fundamental lie then revealed: The warm-and-fuzzy Greens and Socialists weren’t pacifists at all but rather reckless warmongers who cheered on the war in Ukraine.
Next, a major natural gas pipeline was clandestinely sabotaged by the West, which led to skyrocketing energy prices and inflation. Suddenly the youth’s dreams of a future of prosperity went up in smoke.
Next, the German Greens began to call for imposing harsh policies on everyone, threatening to make life even more unbearable for the poor.
Censorship
To make things worse, during COVID and the Ukraine war, the youth became aware of just how “democratic” the West was. Dissidents were silenced as censorship spread across major social media platforms.
In Germany and elsewhere in Europe, people expressing different views found themselves slandered and criminalized.
Dissident leaders were even arrested and locked up. Thousands of social media accounts were suspended.
In July 2024, we saw Germany’s “far right” Compact magazine get raided by German special forces and shut down by the overzealous socialist Interior Minister, Nancy Faeser.
Last month, instant messaging service Telegram’s founder, Pavel Durov, was arrested by French authorities. His crime: providing free speech. The youth now realize that “free speech” in the West is just a joke.
Open Borders And Immigrant Violence
Last month’s killing of three people (and many more injured) by a Syrian refugee at a festival highlighted a long streak of growing violence by migrants.
The public reacted by loudly calling Europe’s border policies into question. Despite a string of lofty promises, politicians have taken no real action to stem the flood of migrants from the Middle East and Africa.
Crime and violence have made many parts of Germany unsafe, and it’s dawning on the youth that their country is potentially going to hell in a basket.
On September 1, voters in the states of Saxony and Thuringia turned out in large numbers and handed the right-wing AfD party huge results.
Once voting Green, the youth under 18 have swung in masses to the right. Last August in Thuringia, 9,000 youths under age 18 were asked in a survey who they would vote for.
The winner by a huge margin was the right-wing AfD party, pulling in 37.4% of the vote – more than double compared to 16.5% it got in 2019.
The Greens, on the other hand, lost a whopping 83% of their supporters, see here.
German Bridge Is Falling Down
Popularity for the German Greens and Socialists is in collapse, and so is Germany’s infrastructure.
Last week, part of a major bridge in the Saxony city of Dresden mysteriously collapsed. The incident highlights Germany’s neglect of its infrastructure while it funnels tens of billions of euros into dubious green projects at home and abroad.
The collapse of the Dresden bridge is an accurate metaphor for Germany.
“Part of the AfD’s success can be attributed to its economic policy,” reports Unherd here. “It calls for an end to government subsidies that distort the market, an end to the country’s expensive green energy transition, and crucially, a reversal of the current deindustrialization. If such moderate economic policy is abandoned by the centrists in power, then voters will look elsewhere.”

I would like to propose that Team Freedom thinkers begin using the term “Soviet Socialists” in lieu of the less precise word “Elite” which would otherwise include anyone ranging from Tiger Woods to Klaus Schwab to Elon Musk to Hank Reardon. In the original Russian, the word “Soviet” was synonymous with the English words “councilor” or “advisor” and was attached to any individual or institution that was granted the aura of wisdom or expertise as justification for their authority. (See for example “Supreme Privy Soviet”—1726-1730 or “Imperial Soviet”—1762 or “Soviet at the Highest Court”—1768-1801). Thus, a “Soviet Socialist” would precisely define an individual in a position of authority who presumes to have a superior wisdom—a philosopher king—and who advocates for state power and collectivism. Likewise, groups of such individuals, such as the WEF or the Greens, would comprise a union of Soviet Socialists and, to the extent that such groups seek an “alliance” of “voluntary” likeminded states ( think New World Order or EU), they would compromise a Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
We have all ready watched as those Citizens in Europe have become fed up with those Climate Change idiots blocking the reads and dragging the jerks out of the way or the Eco-Freaks getting their backsides kicked because no one wants be forced to live in a beehive Apartment and eat plant based garbage goop
The American election in November shouldn’t be as close (50/50) as is reported by the MSM. Voting for Green
politicians means erosion of prosperity, however you choose to define prosperity. Windmills and solar panels are extravagances favored by rich dreamers, i.e. a minority.
Unfortunately I think it’s going to take more destruction of our economy by the headlong net-zero nonsense. Germany is farther down that path than the US. I expect UK to be next to revolt and probably you country, Canada, before it hits the US.
