What Went Wrong? - The Popculture of Star Trek & the State of America
What Went Wrong? - The Popculture of Star Trek & the State of America YouTube video by Jan Birkmann

This is for the Trekies πŸ––πŸ» - And everyone with that dull feeling that something is... off about both popculture and our world at large.

I hold that #StarTrek reflects that feeling in more ways than one, especially with regards to #America.

If that is so... What Went Wrong?

Outside View: The Situation in Minnesota Minnesota is all but under a fascist siege. The situation has not improved, it has only gotten worse. Online, many people claim they get hardly any news from the state, but there is actually a lot.

ON MINNESOTA:

Germany here, I got news!

While many complain that they don't get much content from #Minnesota, I've been practically swarmed by it. My network of followers sends me a lot of stuff.

I spent hours sorting through everything - and compiled the most important stuff.

Here we go!

It's All About The Midterms MAGA-fascism and resistance: Everything that has happened so far converges right there. At the midterms. The Trump administration doesn't plan to let you have free elections anymore. We must prepare!

New article!

Never Again is now!

I teamed up with Grans United with the German Grannies Against the Far Right movement to fight MAGA!

Spread the word!

#ICE is not the Gestapo.

If anything, it resembles slave patrols from American history.

No Kings and Pro-Europeans must unite Regardless of what side of the Atlantic you're on - if you belong to either of those groups, you are in the same boat. So why don't we act like it?

I am annoyed that pro-Europeans and #NoKings don't work together right now.

So I wrote an article about it.

We can't afford to let this potential go to waste. #MAGA and European right-wing extremists are already working to destroy our democracies.

I need you to know that millions in #America do not stand against #Europe as enemies.

I have interacted and spoken to thousands upon thousands who reject #Trump and his fascist agenda. I've seen the millions of protestors at #NoKings.

We are in the same boat.

They are not our enemies.

No Kings is bigger than German resistance ever was In this article, we will take a look at German resistance during the NS-regime.

Hi #America

I have been repeatedly asked for advice on resistance to MAGA and what German resistance looked like.

I have written an article on the subject.

Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned.

And just like that we see how fascism always eats itself.

NΓΌrnberg Trials for the United States? That's beside the point! In this article, we will take a look at the - of late - much referenced NΓΌrnberg trials. While demand for something similar in America is understandable, I hold that they fall short of what is needed.

NÜRNBERG TRIALS for #Trump and #MAGA?

German here: I've been supporting resistance from outside the #US for a while now. I lost count of how many times I saw Americans demand that.

My answer might surprise you.

The emails are a short term issue.

The #Epstine files are a long term problem for #Trump. But I don't see them getting released soon.

I believe the BEST we'll get from that is a hastening of #MAGA 's demise. I don't expect a grand finale.

Even so, the real task of rebuilding will begin only then.
