Félicien Breton 🍉 🔻 🌱The liberal legacy political parties had votes drop to 60 percent (from 76 percent in the previous parliamentary election three years earlier). Just before parting, the representatives passed a law that may double the national debt.'After fifteen years of German legacy political parties lecturing their citizens that the Swabian hausfrau was the sole paradigm for government spending and that “our grandchildren” could not be burdened by today’s profligacy, the same German political parties have abandoned “fiscal responsibility”, having voted over one trillion euros in new debt, defying not only its own debt brake, but the one it imposed on the rest of the EU.'Mathew D.

Félicien Breton 🍉 🔻 🌱Cognitive dissonanceUntil February 2025, Europe had been a willing tool of US foreign policy. Realizing it just now, the rulers cannot change their belief in standing for good versus evil. So they choose to change their narrative from one of enlightenment to one of rearmament."In spite of all the grand-standing and posturing, Europe has been reduced to a geopolitical appendage of the United States, following Washington’s lead in prolonging the conflict while shouldering the costs. While the EU sees itself as a global moral authority, it has been sidelined in actual negotiations. Instead, peace talks are being brokered by the U.S. and China, with Europe playing no decisive role. Even within the European Parliament, there exists a near-religious belief in a narrative that contradicts basic military and economic realities."(Read or watch) <a

Estelle PlatiniRearmament is an opportunity for capital to obtain reductions in welfare and public services, at the cost of lower profitability.Chatham House: “Politicians will have to brace themselves to reclaim money through cuts to sickness benefits, pensions and healthcare.”Britain’s finance minister Rachel Reeves, who has been steadily cutting spending on child credits, winter payments for the aged and disability benefits, announced that the remit of the Labour government’s new National Wealth Fund would be changed to let it invest in defence.More military spending spurs growth but can damage the ‘health’ of the capitalist accumulation process: <a href="https://thenextrecession.wordpress.com/2025/03/22/from-welfare-to-warfare-military-keynesianism/" rel="nofollow
