I would have liked to have asked Eugyppius what he felt the ‘psychology’ was for Germany to so easily accept the destruction of the Nordstream pipeline, which horrifically impacted the cost and structure of German business, industry and life in general. It seems somewhat obvious, at this point, that it was the US/EU side of the conflict that caused this destruction, yet it appears that there was no particular response or ‘awakening’ of the German public….????
I find it curious that industries/businesses and their shareholders that were impacted by the sudden lack of energy, as well as having to pay 4x as much for US LPG products weren’t more angered by financial/monetary loss, rather than speculative ‘green’ energy. Normally, one ‘follows the money’ rather than following social constructs.
They’re brainwashed since birth that they are inherently flawed (b/c great grandpa) and must therefore carefully conform to socially correct constructs.
This does seem to be true. Eugy mentioned "guilt" from WW2 early in the podcast, and in the final chapter of his 1978 book "The Meaning of Hitler", Sebastian Haffner (real name Raimund Pretzel) warned Germans about exactly that - and his advice was ignored.
Here in the U.S. we've seen a lot of white guilt associated with woke views and racism 'cause we just can't help ourselves, and hopefully we'll throw that whole concept in the garbage can sooner than the Germans have dealt with Hitler.
Brainwashed seems to be the correct term, and in both cases it was planned propaganda that instilled this behavior of "guilt", and in both cases the puppet masters have profited from the side effects.
My thoughts are that Liberalism [ as Eugypius suggests] is a relatively simplistic doctrine in itself. And it IS doctrine which we could say appeals to the German psyche. From that point on a kind of mass formation occurs [ see Mattias Desmet ] where people become fervently and then pathologically attached to a social position. As Desmet hypothesises> the Mass Formation accelerates the position people are attached to , and it becomes a totalitarian in form, ang group insanity sets in. According to Prof Desmet this social malady becomes violent, murderously jntolerant and obviously insane. This accounts for the self destructive happiness over Nord Stream .Eventually the Mass formation society collapses within the violent period. Families and friends are at pathological fury against each other So we can say Germany is heading for a massive calamity .
Interesting analysis. I wouldn’t have equated Desmet’s theory of the societal psychology needed for mass formation, to be akin to accepting a condition of ‘self-punishment’, which essentially is what occurred to German industry.
Desmet's (via paul scott) "where people become fervently and then pathologically attached" to totalitarian-led ideology seems to lead directly to subservience to those leaders' demands, potentially of any kind. Self-punishment then looks completely plausible. (Under trusted leaders, self-sacrifice of other kinds occurs in any type of regime.)
Matthias Desmet (via Desmett) at least, insofar as what I’ve heard him discuss, basically dealt with the psychology needed for a society to become ‘sheep-like’ in examples like Nazi Germany and covid, when the question was asked how/why can a society at large blindly accept a government dictat? I’m not sure that I equate industrial leaders (or ‘elites’) blindly following such government rules unless it was profitable for them to do so. I don’t see the ‘profit’ in the destruction of industry in Germany. IMHO.
The rebirth of the third Reich was accelerated by the destruction of the belligerent Stassi. As horrible as they were this manifested rebirth of the Third Reich which is now clearly the real outcome of the “fall of the Soviet Union.” That the klan had ‘programmed’ Bush from the shipboard jet fire to his figurehead role in the CIA with the “if you can’t beat them join them” philosophy was most abundantly clear not only in the applying cocaine cartel money to illegitimate clandestine operations but especially in hiring SS agents in South America to “win” for the USA.
The fall of the Soviet Union was predicated on the rebirth of the Third Reich with Soros and the KKK trained politicians murdering off any witnesses who might testify in court in amazingly large numbers with hardly a riff in the social fabric. Quite a testimony to proper use of Nazi gold and South African blood diamond money. So, the BRICS is the Fourth Reich which is the outcome of the event labeled as the Fall of the Soviet Union. The rise of the Fourth Reich gives the rebirth of the Third Reich the legitimacy that the elite morons can reason upon to accept the newly branded Third Reich. The Third Reich using the “Mufti” and his buds to address the Jewish Question, differently but just the same as they did the first time. Stupid is what stupid does and only a fine media could get paid by Geo. Washington Carver the first black President to lynch him, deservedly, but still, in the name of “justice.”
Biden gets more beach houses, The Clinton’s get more book deals and the Obama’s poison chocolate chef gets a book deal that leads to his paddle boat demise by Big Mike. The Klan never lost control of The Congress, they just changed the color revolution scheme of the brand.
The new Nazism is a transnational, transcultural transhumanist and transsexual cult. It is fascism but on a scale that would make Hitler and his 1000 year Reich seem like the domain of the mayor of Podunk. The Brits and Zionists are high up in this ever so inclusive architecture of lunacy though we can expect the various elements to harbor their own supremacist views to the exclusion of their fellow predators. And don’t forget, the European leaders are often high on cocaine, a predilection they share with Zelensky. And they’re all high unlimited amounts American money which is no longer restrained by the limits of the pulp paper industry but has migrated to the digital realm of infinite money leaving Joe Six Pack scraping up pennies to go to the package store. Chop wood and carry water. The well pump is broken.
I find it somewhat interesting when the term ‘Nazism’ is casually thrown around, indicating ‘Brits and Zionists’, with no correlation to legitimate Nazis such as the Azov Battalion in Ukraine.
Here's an early take: It's a vile, disgusting, visually depressing, spirit crushing pile of debris, with NO redeeming social value, just like its honoree.
So I just had to type that in to my search bar. The pic had a crane on top, so the thing was not finished, but even so, I couldn't help reacting. "Oh no, it couldn't look that bad!"
Obama’s library is grotesque as is Obama himself. He is a malicious and evil man. He despises America and seeks to destroy it. He has committed hideous acts of sedition and criminal malfeasance. This criminal ex-president hides like a coward behind presidential immunity. But Brennan, Clapper, Hillary and Comey are going to be indicted based on clear and unequivocal evidence.
There is no presidential immunity, other than while exercising those powers expressly granted to the president by the Constitution. That court decision simply restated what was already known, which is that the Constitution is the highest law of the land, so any law that would seek to criminalize any action taken by the president that is within the scope of his Constitutional power is invalid on its face, since the bit where the Constitution says "yes" supersedes any law that would otherwise say "no."
None of the things Obama has been accused of are within those enumerated powers. He's not off the hook.
Thank you, I’ve been following Eugy for over 4 years, but never heard him speak before. To me German politics is a case of arrested development, and until they get over Hitler, they won’t get out of their political adolescence; and being in the EU isn’t helping them mature politically. It would be great to have people like Eugy running the country instead of the current clown cabal.
Thank you, Jim, for interviewing someone who has insights into Europe. EU remains the most important experiment for structures at the international level. It will be interesting to see if it too can transform itself to manage the unfolding Ecological Overshoot Unraveling as they are swamped by climate migrants from the tropics in the near years ahead as the solar energy imbalance is very bad now and getting worse faster.
Excellent and truly fascinating interview! Especially found his analysis of Merkel particularly intriguing and insightful!
I’ve been following Eugyppius for a while and his thoughts, perceptions and insights on a host of subjects, particularly dissecting the crazy German political scene, are invaluable.
Great to hear Jimbo interview Eugyppius again. Their thoughts on potential outcomes for the Russian-Ukraine war were especially interesting. Eugyppius confirmed that Europe and the West share many of the same problems regarding immigration and energy sufficiency. Both are travelling ever faster and deeper into consequences of The Long Emergency.
both EU and US have similar immigration and countless other problems because these problems were/are induced from the same sources and supported by the same type of political minions and globalists. Transatlantic political machinations are ubiquitous from greenie energy politics, "Coppers Bad", pegida, antifa, etc., etc.
Germany as a nation was not a concept until the late 1800s, As the various regional peoples came together as 'Germany', it rose as a tech innovation and mfg powerhouse and needed to be controlled, lest they take over the European economy.
I'm not sure who Hitler's handlers were, but the main reason for his rise was to destroy Germany from within (a fight for the soul). The peoples' minds were captured and post WWI and WWII, the psychology of the people was turned against itself. I think it was easy to change them into "stupid" after that (as PTSD); they were made to feel personally guilty about what the evil underlying powers caused 'their country' to do to the rest of Europe.
Meanwhile, the German ppl as a whole are incredibly friendly, pleasant and hospitable. I know, as most of my family is German and reflect that older culture that was pre-WWI (when most of them immigrated here). It's tragic what has happened to the brilliant intellects back in Germany (I sense it among my native German relatives-exhibiting melancholia), but I believe that the smartest ones anticipated the problems and escaped to the US for the opportunity. Thank God for my grand and great grand parents' sense of self-preservation.
Hi Mr. Kunstler, I really love what you do, and after hearing most of this podcast, I sent you an invitation / subscription to a Substack account, Agent131711. It will certainly be very interesting to you (if you don't know him yet), but also to Eugyppius who would certainly like to know more about what happened to Germany since the 1770's. I sent him your email address, and told him it was for both you and Eugyppius. I will subscribe to your account as soon as I can solve a problem with my Corporate ex-employer is concluded, and I look forward to it.
I discovered him thanks to James Delingpole, a famous British journalist who woke up a while ago and writes, makes podcasts and Psalms! He praised Agent131711's work in his comments. Agent 131711's work is definitely worth a look, and although his work is different, so is James Delingpole's.
Great discussion and shocking how a country of well educated intellectuals has descended (yet again) into a mass formed cult. Metias Desmit describes how this dangerous social/psychological phenomena turns off the rational grey matter in the brains of so many of these once highly educated, highly rational people. The formation of these societal cults is very much like a mass hypnosis. Its stems from fear and an irrational need to become a part of a group that will fundamentally protect the individual from outside forces which pose a grave percieved threat to the individual and to society. In reality, the real threat is the cult that forms as it requires a person to conform to the group beliefs and actions. The more compliant an individual is to authority the more likely they will suffer from this type of cult indoctrination.
We saw this (and still do) in the US around the covid shots. The precieved threat frightened people who felt isolated and alone. When they saw that their fears and isolation could be fixed by being a part of a new group that was making a sacrifice (by accepting an untested pharmaceutical product), for the "greater good" then they became members of a new cult. The cult of those who got the shot. As such all opinion and rationality around the shots had to be turned off internally in those who longed to be a part of the new percieved tribe, or the new cult. Even highly educated doctors and politicians could not look at or consider evidence that went against the magic shot. Peer reviewed journals retracted rigorous and valid scientific reports that showed the shots caused harm and didn't work. doctors withheld vital medical care to those not in the cult. People were fired, ostracized and detained in camps because they were seen as "unclean". Even today many people can not listen to a rational evidence based discussion around the gene based experimental shots.
The leaders of any society are the most compliant to authority and social norms and the least likely to go against the percieved societal concensus. The irrationality of individuals who are in effect hypnotized by this group, is clear to anyone not in the group, and anyone who doesn't conform (like Reiner Fullmiche) is punished severly.
Ninety years ago a societal cult like this formed in Germany for the same reasons the new cult has formed. Fear, a basic deference to authority, and a need to be a part of a close knit group with a high degree of conformity. Mettias points out that the end result of a mass formed society is destruction as the process of attacking "enemies" of the cult is a self rewarding process. People in the cult, who enforce the narrative of the cult get a great deal of psychological reward by attacking those not in the cult. The thrill of burning books, or beheading young people who tried to start opposition groups to the Nazi party, was the driving force behind the many atrocities the third reich did. Eventually, when all enemies of a mass formed, cult like society, are eliminated then the cult continues to seek out those who oppose the group in any way, and eventually the group consumes itself with violence. The cult becomes a death cult.
Israel is perhaps an extreme example of what mass formation does to a society. It is in the process of destroying itself as I write this.
Sadly, I can see this in the future for Germany. Hope I'm wrong.
I would have liked to have asked Eugyppius what he felt the ‘psychology’ was for Germany to so easily accept the destruction of the Nordstream pipeline, which horrifically impacted the cost and structure of German business, industry and life in general.

Germany is under the thumb of social and legal coercion. You risk jail time and social ostracizing if you go against the green agenda for instance.
I find it curious that industries/businesses and their shareholders that were impacted by the sudden lack of energy, as well as having to pay 4x as much for US LPG products weren’t more angered by financial/monetary loss, rather than speculative ‘green’ energy.

On another topic, Jim needs to do an architectural review of obama's presidential library. It's a beaut!
Here's an early take: It's a vile, disgusting, visually depressing, spirit crushing pile of debris, with NO redeeming social value, just like its honoree.
Obama's or Trump's? (woops...welcome to my rabbit hole!)
So I just had to type that in to my search bar. The pic had a crane on top, so the thing was not finished, but even so, I couldn't help reacting. "Oh no, it couldn't look that bad!"
Must have studied the 300 year history of the Kölner Dom until the Nazis finished the construction.
Obama’s library is grotesque as is Obama himself. He is a malicious and evil man. He despises America and seeks to destroy it. He has committed hideous acts of sedition and criminal malfeasance. This criminal ex-president hides like a coward behind presidential immunity. But Brennan, Clapper, Hillary and Comey are going to be indicted based on clear and unequivocal evidence.

I looked at it .My first and immediate reaction was fear > then anger .

You’ve “cut to the quick”. Hitler-guilt is becoming suicidal.

Trump closed the border because he had funds to do so, even if it is debt money. Sure it could be done in Germany if the will and cash were put to it.
