The German is serious. He\u2019s so serious that even when he\u2019s heading down a blind alley, and he knows it, he\u2019ll seriously go all the way, seriously wallow in the wall, smashing all those around him into it if necessary. With gravitas, and because it\u2019s his duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. German industry collapses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

German industry is collapsing. It is collapsing because the cost of energy in Europe is 3 to 10 times higher than in our direct competitors, starting with the United States. There is no German industrial sector that can survive such an energy cost differential. The German chemical industry, for example, which is a massive energy consumer, will surely die if this energy cost differential is not eliminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the cost of German energy is not an external constraint descended from Heaven by the will of the Holy Spirit: it is a choice, a policy; a political decision, known as the Energiewende. The Energiewende consists of replacing fossil fuels and nuclear power with \u201crenewable\u201d wind and solar energy. In concrete terms, by 2024, nuclear power will have been destroyed \u2013 which has always been the number 1 objective of the ecologists \u2013 and fossil fuels will be in better shape than ever. All they\u2019ve done is to replace Russian gas with American gas \u2013 which is five times more expensive because it has to be liquefied, transported across the Atlantic and regasified. As for German lignite, the most polluting of all coals, it has never done so well. Burn, baby, burn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what about the climate? Precisely. In 2024, Germany emits ten times more CO2 per unit of energy produced than nuclear France. Ten times!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The failure of the Energiewende is therefore total, grotesque and comical, whatever the metric used or the point of view from which we view it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A people vaguely normal and less \u2018serious\u2019 than the Germans would have drawn the necessary conclusions a long time ago. Not the Germans, who now watch whole swathes of their industry collapse every day, like tourists contemplating a cliff attacked by a raging sea. The German shakes his head and wonders whether, in the long term, all this will not have rather unfortunate consequences; in short, \u201cis this really reasonable?\u201d asks the Teuton docudently, before becoming \u201cserious\u201d again and stepping on the accelerator.<\/p>\n\n\n

2. European industry collapses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better still: not only is Fritz not giving up on his Energiewende in Germany, but he also intends to impose it on the whole of Europe. Indeed, there is no major project that the German, as if by natural reflex, does not immediately intend to impose on the whole of Europe. For its own good. If necessary, by force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which gives us Ursula von der Leyen. von der Leyen is the epitome of the German centre-right: a fanatical environmentalist who hates nuclear power and is prepared to sacrifice all Europeans to the \u201cclimate\u201d, while denying the global reality of ever-increasing CO2 emissions, hastening to govern with the ecologist far-left while holding her nose in the face of right-wing parties. In Europe, the poison is German and, since the departure of the British and France sinking into debt, it is now unchecked and unmitigated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. \u201cI love Stalin\u201d (\u00a9 German centre-right)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, there is the famous practice of the cordon sanitaire, whereby the German centre-right CDU prefers to govern with the far left than with the right. For \u201cmoral\u201d reasons. Even when the right-wing wins by a landslide \u2013 as in Thuringia recently \u2013 even when right-wing + centre-right make up 75%, and even when the far-left is led by a lover of Lenin, Stalin, one of the worst psychopathic criminals of all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why the centre-right CDU has already announced its intention to govern Germany after the next federal elections with\u2026 the Greens, of all the parties, the most hated in Germany and the furthest removed in terms of programme from the CDU. Well, done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the Germans believe that their democracy will hold together in the face of economic collapse, they would do well to reread the small volume Weimar from their rancid library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can we suggest that Germans stop being so German?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
