I understand that time is running out

Let's make not the same mistakes folks did back in the 30s ... . Don't put up false hopes, things are not going to get better, they will only get worse. And the majority of Germans has a racist, fascist, and violent past, they were raised that way, and they will act that way. Don't fool yourselves with hoping that the "middle" or the "bourgeoisie" will gain ground again and continue the good old "Kapitalismus mit menschlichem Anlitz". That's not going to happen. Because fascism is the same as capitalism, it's the natural state it converges to when things get tougher. The years between 1950 - ca 2000 have been an exception, because of post-war boom and the existence of a credible alternative. Those days are gone forever and war is necessary for profits and companies to "rejuvenate" themselves. And war does not always mean physical conflict either, there's trade war and cyberwar, for example. And let's not forget that the first thing that Germany did as soon as they had annexed the GDR was wage war on Yugoslavia, specifically Serbia, immediately back to their old expansionist policies. The second thing they did was escalate the trade and fiscal war, using the EU and the Euro to suck poorer countries dry, especially Greece. So this is the "menschliches Antlitz", the "nice face of capitalism" - it's not occupation troops and concentration camps, this time it's Telekom, Siemens, Lidl etc. taking over the economies on those countries at the same time as they become fiscally indentured to Germany. Well, and another kind of camps exist, in Northern Africa for example, to defend the "Fortress Europe" ... .

Disgusting, is it? And it's the same elsewhere ... look at the US ... yes, Trump is obnoxious, openly racist, sexist, homophobic etc. But Obama was no saint, he was also a nice face of capitalism, pushing through his neoliberal agenda, but in a nice way. And with drones. Lots of drones. So, yes, if you make Trump go away some things will improve, but not significantly. You will still have no job or work three shit jobs simultaeneously, but at least you won't be insulted and persecuted because of your sexual orientation or the colour of your skin.

For my part, I've started to get ready some years ago, if shit hits the fan in Germany I'm outta here. Sorry, no resistance for me here, resistance is futile if the vast majority actually agrees with the obscenities. And as long as the vegan latte keeps flowing, they will, they will.

Gandalf the Pedophile

Driving down south to Kerikeri was beautiful: we took the time to take the scenic coastal route, visiting gazillions of beautiful beaches and inlets. Bliss and joy. KK itself is very nice of course as well, real fruit icecream, need I say more. On a rainy Saturday afternoon we went to Ngawha hot springs, which rocks totally. Basic, ramshackle pools, or rather woodclad holes in the ground with different temperatures between very hot and scorching, after one hour you have a baby's skin again. Amazing. We stayed at the very nice and highly recommendable Kerikeri Farmhostel and the reisebegleitung greatly enjoyed the Kunekune pigs they keep. Before Xmas crazyness took over the whole place we left for Whangarei Heads and that's where the old pedowizard comes in. But more of that tomorrow, I have to and eat one of the best breakfasts of all times now. Just remember: always stay with your arse to the wall when meeting old man with grey beards and pointy hats.

Rain!

But warm. And not real rain. Just a drizzle. It's gonna clear up any minute. ANY MINUTE. I'm sure. Everybody's sure of that. Has been sure for the past three days. The only thing I'm sure of is that it will indeed clean up after we've left tomorrow and that the clouds will follow me to Napier. Because they too love me. I'm a raingod after all. Since I'm so incredibly butch and such a great manly bloke I did not let the rain keep me from exploring the mountain. Didn't go up to the top because that would have been stupid. The forest is truly amazing! Brings out all the hippie genes in me. But only for a millisecond. Gotta finish up now, have to clean my rifle and go rabbit and possum hunting. Kill a couple of God's creatures, just for fun.

Hawai'i, a résumé

Well, well, well. Looking back with a couple of days distance I must say that Hawai'i was underwhelming. It was nice, no doubt about that, bur I certainly won't be going there again and I think there are better places with less hassle and rules and regulations in the world. But anyway, let's try to wrap it up in a post. Flying into Hilo is niiiiice. On a clear day. You get beautiful views of valleys, forests, waterfalls, kinda like a very short scenic flight (provided you have a window seat on the right side of the plane). Domestic flights in HI are relatively easy going: our baggage arrived always very quickly and the car rental companies are just across the exit door from baggage claim. I had pre-booked our cars through NKT Travel and everything worked perfect - we got a good price, good, reliable car, no worries at all, so I can definitely recommend them. You don't really need a 4WD (unless you have a very specific use case planned). We rented a "mid-size...
