Strange how they only "trust the science" when it tells them what they want to hear.

There's a reason people critical of the EU often use the mock-ronym "EUSSR".

This? It's more remarkable that it got reported on, than that it happened.

That’s good. EUSSR Lol

More like 'Belsen was a gas' these days.

Except without the gas since NS was blown up.

Could be verse. Could be 'California Über Alles' under Newsom.

the good old countries were way better. They did very stupid thing to 'unite' and then add all the countries that could not follow, who all needed money desperately and sucked up the better off ones, not to mention the uppeties in the EU who earn a nice wage...

Back to the times of kingdoms and principalities? Definitely.

There was individuality and personal style in architecture and traditional dress

But most of the “uniting” was not their idea. Bigger countries created out of smaller countries by even bigger countries

And if I remember correctly, American liberals were a major impetus for the creation of the European Union.

It was thought that, if they put together a union of European nations, they would be creating a United States of Europe…… and that would be the end of conflict in Europe.

They were looking for the uniting of North America, also. Bigger is better. One set of rules and no exceptions for individual nations

Just like the USSA over here in the states, especially with the recent surveillance-state bill signing

TRUST THE SCIENCE.....and if you can't trust it, change it until you can.

At this point, fraud isn't even an option -- it's mandatory.

For own good, of course.

I'm generally still shocked that, after covid, anyone believes anything the authorities claim.

Here's a substacker's new theory (link below) to explain this bizarre way of thinking by many progressives, especially in government, that they are autistic, thus with a deep need to control others and even the weather because their own minds are disfunctional.

"It occurred to me this morning that many of the central tenets of progressivism are actually autistic traits." https://substack.com/home/post/p-143964626

Autism is a prestige diagnosis for the non-actually disabled.

One can hardly boast of a borderline personality disorder.

Sociopaths. The lot of them.

They will be our undoing.

100% Sociopaths.

Just finished reading this. I have noticed similar in people...This explains so much and is something I've suspected for a very, very long time. Said to hubs this a.m. that all quackcines have to go. All of them.

Interesting read! Thanks for sharing the URL. Another substacker's theory: https://benjaminkerstein.substack.com/p/progressivism-is-the-opium-of-the

It's just cults, all of which are the same. The Bolsheviks mocked the opium of the people while administering the fentanyl of the people.

More like the cyanide of the people.

Expand full comment

There aren't any non-poisonous cults.

Expand full comment

No argument here, but the leftist cults are particularly virulent.

Expand full comment

All cults are the same.

Very interesting! Saw another comment on the autism substack theory arguing progressive is rooted in plain old envy of other's successes.

Sadly, it seems like "science" has turned into nothing more than a front for evil people to promote their agendas without accountability. Those who bypass honest scientific inquiry and debate in favor of scientific decrees without merit are not real scientists. They're covert dictators in white coats.

Data? We don't need no stinkin' data! We have OUR TRUTH.

The Germans seem kind of whack anymore.

They are the EU equivalent of California on this side of the pond.

The germans are apparently insane these days

Perhaps it's because of their proximity to Davos?

Germans have the holocaust; Americans have slavery. Both populations must atone harder!!

I remember reading about the initial FDA investigation into GMO foods. FDA scientists found they were not safe and each would need to be investigated individually, but when the report was finally released it had been "rewritten" to say they are inherently safe and no testing is needed, ever.

Seems like a trick that gummint plays a lot.

Environmental NGOs are the most Orwellian of misnamed entities. They are the anthesis of non-government-organizations, are often funded by governments and are in fact organizations with an unfinishable agenda that exist purely to influence government and if possible run governments.

this is really such a stupid thing. Why oh why are there so many stupid people around thinking they are boss? grrr annoying

Kinda makes you want to hiss, eh, gatito?

How is it that the ones who have "The Science" have to falsify the data?

Glad you almost asked that! Even though questioning The Science might eventually get criminalized. It might already be so in Canada. Anyway, to answer about the behavior of Greens, I suspect that it is the usual, so "follow the money".

Lemme get this straight? The greenies are trying to kill the only thing that can save us all from dying on this roasting planet. Iszat about it?
