Looks Like Germany's Got Itself a Convoy

Berlin; Wiesbaden; Etc.

I went to the events today here in Wiesbaden, to observe.

The reason for the official political hysteria over today's farmer protests is I think for much the same reason for the same relating to two years ago with the Canadian truckers. It's not really about any left-right conventional politics, or "right wing extremism," as such.

It is apropos therefore that truckers and also barge operators joined in with today's protests.

It's because the official world, the left, the establishment, whatever you want to call them, realize three things on at least a subconscious level:

(1) The "Nine Meals to Anarchy" doctrine, that the modern logistics system is just that precarious.

AND

(2) That the modern left/establishment/etc have as their fundamental and perhaps ultimately decisive weakness that, in terms of geography and territory, they don't control that much, only a small percentage of the total footprint of civilized territory. Combine (1) and (2), and it's easy to see how, if events like today, and Canada two years ago, had just a little more organization and willpower, that they could drive urban centers to the brink of disaster.

AND

(3) This is also a fundamental clash between the kind of people who compete against the laws of nature on the one hand, and the kind of people who seek status among and competing with other people on the other hand. A dichotomy that even the ancients understood. Both in ancient times and now, the latter group is instinctively fearful of the former group. This perhaps more than anything else is the fundamental razor between the left and the right in our current epoch. It's also why Official Germany worrying that today's events would be "hijacked" or "infiltrated" or "converged" by "RWEs" is a misnomer.
