We're really happy here!
The last few weeks of our emigration were brutal. The sheer amount of bureaucracy (or better: bureaucrazy) in the old country is beyond imagination (as are taxes, cost of living, block warden mentality, wuhan virus idiocy, fingerpointing, and so much more). That, combined with the amount of coordination required to completely empty a house (all three floors), sell its furniture and throw away stuff that has collected over 12 years (that's the last time we moved) took the wind out of me.
Several times, I caught myself saying "I can't go on any more, I'm so tired", and yet, my wife and I somehow carried on. That was a lesson in resilience, again.
But now we're here, in our new house, and I'm flipping the country I was born in the finger. Don't get me wrong, I love my people and my culture, but it has been perverted and twisted and turned into an ugly caricature of itself, all kudos to power-hungry FUCKS who do everything to subjugate and dominate a people that was once proud and strong, feared in battle and respected by their enemies. Now, that country has become a laughing stock, ridiculed (and rightfully so) because of incompetent leaders with close ties to the World Economic Forum.
Our national anthem is this:
Unity? Over and done with. Divide and conquer strategies have destroyed it, completely and irreversably.
Justice? Over and done with. When doctors who issue mask certificates to their patients have their medical practices searched, their license to practice medicine is revoked and they can no longer practice their profession because of this - that's not the type of justice I like.
Freedom? When taxes and other fees take away 50 percent of what people earn even before the money arrives in their bank accounts, when they have to work till 67 before they are entitled to get their pension that is the lowest in the entire European Union (roughly 47 percent of their income), when a neverending death spiral of "health regulations" makes it impossible for many self employed people to earn money, when mandatory crapvid-19 vaccinations have been rejected by the senate, but leading politicians simply disregard that decision, saying "we'll have to think about this again after the summer"... where is the freedom?
So, not even the national anthem rings true any more, and the same goes for our Basic Law (we don't have a constitution because the Basic Law is "provisional", even if it was introduced in fucking 1949 β the winners of WWII still have not signed a peace treaty with us).
I'm glad that's over now, and I won't post anything about the old country again.
