An alarming study from the venerable King's College London is causing shock in European capitals – supposedly. Professor David Betz, a specialist in strategy and counterinsurgency, proclaims with the precision of a fortune teller: Within the next five years, at least one European country will experience a rupture – civil war almost guaranteed, with a 95 percent probability. The whole thing was published in Military Strategy Magazine. Historical patterns combined with current societal upheavals indicate that Europe is marching happily toward chaos.
The symptoms? According to Betz, Europe has long been a mixture of "Mad Max" and "The Fall of the Roman Empire." Paris, London, Berlin – all lawless spaces where the police only show up in battalion strength when they dare. Bridges are collapsing, train stations look like dystopian movie sets, power grids behave like old Christmas lights. Welcome to the European Disneyland of decay.
And why all this? According to the diagnosis, it's not fate, but the brilliant result of political self-mutilation. The EU Commission opened its borders with the same enthusiasm as a child opens its birthday presents, while governments stood by and cried "oh, how wonderful!" as their countries imploded. The result: Crime is skyrocketing, neighborhoods are mutating into no-go zones, and trust in the state? Lying dead in a ditch.
But that's not all. In addition to the migration lottery, the EU is also playing a climate catastrophe simulation. The "European Green Deal" is being sold as a heroic act, but in reality, it's an economic guillotine. Net zero by 2050 sounds like a vision, but feels more like a stranglehold: industry destroyed, energy prices astronomical, cheap sources shut down on principle. Add to that the suicidal sanctions against Russia – the result: Europe sits freezing in front of broken wind turbines and has to pay exorbitant prices for them.
And while citizens are fed up, politicians are responding with—surprise—more repression. The Digital Services Act ensures that online criticism is immediately removed with a digital vacuum cleaner. Even satire is only allowed to laugh at the push of a button, as long as it doesn't mock the sacred EU agenda. Democracy? Censorship in rainbow packaging just sells better.
Of course, Betz's horror vision doesn't have to become reality. It could be that Europe turns things around. But that would require a change of course as radical as cold turkey: closing borders again, returning energy policy to the 20th century, and bringing freedom of expression out of the intensive care unit. In short: less ideology, more reality. But that would be practically a revolution—and according to the study, that's just around the corner anyway...
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
