Official government data has revealed that nearly 893,000 out of the 1.6 million migrants who arrived in Germany during the migrant crisis of 2015-2016, still live on social welfare benefits.
The employment agency’s report also notes that 670,000 asylum seekers are either out of work or are currently looking for work, with 235,000 unemployed and 437,000 searching for employment. From both groups, 11% possess professional qualifications, about 4% of whom have professional training while the other 7% have academic training.
Almost two-thirds (65%) of Syrian refugees in Germany of working-age were at least partially dependent on the social welfare scheme

As the number of foreigners in Germany has risen, so have welfare payments dispensed to them over the past 12 years.


On top of the demographic threat they pose, the ‘new Germans’ have driven up crime, and take more in welfare than they give back to the country.

The depravity of this age knows no bounds, and we all know what kind of a reaction it will cause.

But let us see the positive: there is still controvery, there are still people walking out in disgust. Somewhere in the oily smog of a dismal era, a spark of decency remains. There is still hope. In the aftermath of the inevitable, there will still be good people who can rebuild the world.

Its not even fun depravity anymore its just kind of sad and pathatic and self rightous.

In the meantime, we’ll be stuck living through a real-life, slow-motion edition of Look Who’s Back that recreates the very conditions that brought Adolf the Mad to power in the first place... and somehow manages to make them worse the second time around. :rolleyes:

Normally, I don't envy the Greatest Generation that much, seeing as their younger years were more than just a bit shit. But considering what lies ahead and how we now have weapons capable of making World War II look like a slumber party, odds are I may very well change my mind someday.

...liberalism needs to have a fucking leash put on it.
Yeah, the ultimate cause of all sorts of issues today is that the current mindsets were not put together well, because they're a pileup of patch-jobs to deal with increasingly thorough problems with the old ones. The basic demands of modern economies make the social corrosion a prisoner's dilemma, where isolated defection is punished extremely severely.

Similar to how it took Feudalism several centuries to stick via Charlemagne, except this time the pressures just don't stop changing because of continued rapid technological advancement, which is driven in no small part by the socially corrosive profit-seeking. Meaning that to get things stable enough to actually be sure what you're trying to make a solid new mindset requires falling behind and thus inviting somebody who didn't to come along and take all your stuff.

It's not a simple "Return To Tradition", the traditions started dying because they literally did not work. Family units kept shrinking because making a living called for more and more movement so sticking together was no longer visibly, materially beneficial, and thus it lost its argumentative power. The hyper-centralization of power is nothing more than the demands imposed by inter-state conflicts, only a massive power could afford an Iowa when the things were built. And to break up basically any of them, you'd need to physically break apart a huge amount of infrastructure.

Edit: I hope the future is Federalism. Rule of law constraining the top level to the concerns of the full set, lower layers for increasingly local concerns. But it could well be techno-feudalism, giant corporate conglomerates eating collapsing states by having more resources than them, the vestiges repurposed to the keeper of the common rules so as to maintain property rights, a thoroughly hollowed out echo of the Catholic Church's role at its own height.

Anyway, more infrastructure sabotage.

Countless travellers in the region had been stranded at railway stations because all long-distance trains and some regional ones had been suspended.

In the states of Lower Saxony - where regional elections are being held tomorrow - Schleswig-Holstein and the city-states of Hamburg and Bremen, there were no trains running at all at the time.
What a coincidence...

‘Terror granny’ accused of ‘plotting German civil war to bring back the Kaiser’



An elderly woman accused of being the ringleader of a terror cell plotting a monarchist revolution was arrested in Germany.

The cell allegedly wanted to kidnap the country’s health minister and attack the electricity grid to spark a civil war and restore the Prussian monarchy.

Elisabeth R, a 75-year-old retired teacher who was quickly nicknamed “terror granny” by the German press, was arrested at her home in the eastern state of Saxony.

On Friday, she was flown to Germany’s federal court, where she was photographed getting out of a helicopter carrying only a paper potato bag.

Prosecutors said that she was the leader of a group that wanted to overthrow democratic Germany and bring back the Kaiser.
The group allegedly planned to kidnap Karl Lauterbach, the German health minister, who is a hate figure among the far-Right because of his advocacy of strict lockdowns during the pandemic.

The group then planned to carry out sabotage attacks on the electricity grid with the intent of causing a blackout so severe that it would lead to “civil war-like conditions”, the arrest warrant stated.
Four other members of the group were arrested in April. Police found a Kalashnikov gun and a Nazi SS uniform in one of the suspect’s homes.

Elisabeth R is accused of being both the spiritual and organisational leader of the cell.

She gave the other members deadlines for acquiring explosives and weapons, prosecutors said.

‘Coup manifesto’ prepared
Pamphlets she had written were supposed to be spread among the public once their attempted coup attempt had been started, it is alleged.

It is unclear just how far the group managed to get in their alleged preparations.

A neighbour in the town of Floeha told Bild newspaper that Elisabeth R was a solitary person.

“I rarely saw her. She used to do gardening in the evenings wearing a headlamp,” the man said.

Elizabeth R reportedly lost her state pension over repeated public statements denying the legitimacy of the modern German state.

Treaty of Versailles denial
According to reports in the German press, she was known as “the countess” inside the Reichsbuerger scene, a loose movement that seeks to bring back the Prussian monarchy.

She appeared to have co-authored long texts arguing that the Treaty of Versailles, which brought about the end of the First World War, was invalid, and that Germany is still legally a monarchy.

Berlin has identified a heightened threat from far-Right terror in recent years. In 2018, police broke up a neo-Nazi terror cell that was planning a “false flag” terror attack intended to create fear of migrants.


...did I drop back into 1919? I mean, Germany does have the Weimar Republic 2.0 trend going on. Let's just hope we don't have a certain mustachioed Austrian show-up.

Kidding aside, I'm half-wondering how much of this is the ruling elite in Germany being just THAT scared of a Prussian Kaiser restoration. Probably because they'd do a better job than the current crop of leaders.

Oh, and by the way, no one will need to blow up the power grid in a few months because Germany won't have much in the way of electricity to put into it. Who'd thought relying on a foreign nation and going green would backfire, hey?

Also, nice to see the writer's bias by putting a Monarchist group and a bunch of Neo-Nazis in the same category.

Still not convinced this isn't some insane glow OP by the german agencies to try and smear political movements that are experiencing an influx of support right now.
