Goodreads Doesn't Have It, Data Migration: Freedom
“We Christian democrats do not indulge in navel-gazing or narcissism, we serve the people of our country.” pg. 638
10/16/25 I want to give this five stars but I can't. Feminism is "shrill, crass". Putin impulsively communicates so isn't a ruler. Those are symptoms of distress. I can't. That's obvious to me. In retrospect, some real pick me there. Everyone paid for Bush's stupidity, including Germany, but she still makes excuses for his domineering. In light of knowing the distress by her of how Deutsche treated her, the problem with Italy and Greece is racism. Same thing, they just don't look like her. That's not smart enough. I really wanted to give the 5. I can't.
That was their water. The inability to fund in time due to policy constraints has real autism. In the world of climate change, statism--the state is literal statism--will not survive such autistic bents. You will have to move fast, shift fast, adapt fast. A lot of the failures in Ukraine are due to this water on the computer effect of not seeing themselves in time in emergency situations and failing to fund. You will not win on that and not really winning is what we're seeing. Yeah, you might gain territory, but natural resources is not the big win here. We can't afford this level of cognitive inflexibility. How can you go through what Deutsche put you through soliciting money to save your country from the effects of Bush, only to show contempt and hate for Greece? Italy apparently pushed back in this way too just like you pushed back against Deutsche's naysaying.
You know how people who have been treated poorly by the world due to their looks tend to act unattractive to the world right back in a feedback loop? It's the same thing with this zero sum thinking where they try to covertly make you pay for things they claim are free. Like you get "free therapy" but then a mysterious $1,000 repair comes through. And then when I "cancel the free therapy" the 1k is gone. They have 0 faith or knowledge how to generatively exponentiate value because most of their comprehension is echoic and foundationless. It's not really linked to the foundation of the comprehension, so it can't really exponentiate the value, and can't really afford itself therefore so is clinging to this faithless 0 sum. It's the same thing for the poor. The ones who commit financial abuse to each other, the ones stealing from each other or taking money from each other, tend to be the most impoverished in associative reasoning, stuck in the feedback cycle. Angela Merkel is from a communist area, East Germany. She is proof that picking your battles, being tactical, careful, and scientific, and focusing on unity and coming back to what you need to pick up later can be done. But this whole thing of unattractive people calling people unattractive is the 2nd world feedback loop stuckness. They think if I financially abuse someone, I'll come out on top. But it's not actually like that. By living within your means while focusing on ethical generative practices, you can break the cycle of poverty. If you live out of your means and financially abuse people even while poor knowing how that's happening, that's the poorest of the poor behavior and that's where you will end. Another example I give is pedophiles shouting about billionaires. You are the billionaire to that child. It can't fight back in a real way. If you don't see how you are that in that dynamic, you do not see yourself in the billionaire. That is exactly how that feels to that child, and here you are playing the victim. It's interesting how these feedback loops don't realize themselves enough to break out of them. While the echoic and naive zero sum thinking that can't exponentiate value is still so certain of itself that it tries to insinuate its law covertly, even when it doesn't have to be that way and that can ruin everything for everyone like the covert Chinese governance attempts inside America's government when different Iranian and other mathematical designs exist and have existed for some time, we will never beat the "poor man recovering" 2nd world thinking. You will never beat it with that kind of narcissism about an echoic and relatively naive understanding that is not really deeply linked to the applicative function. True vanity.
Angela Merkel always had to have a phone on her to take important government calls. I'm not doing things for people this disgusting that they can't pay $5. I'm not a state actor. I have literally defended anarchism in the incompetent state to the court and it was too narcissistic to even listen, only for Trump to come right on back while they were busy attacking me. They are that stupid and anti-strategic. They show no tactical gift or even basic ability to choose their battles when a power high is even possible. We're seeing that with Zelensky, we're seeing that with Trudeau. Honestly only Merkel is the most recent voice I can think of who knows when to put unity above a point that she can come back to later when a greater threat is not on the brink. There was 0 comparative gift for that under Bob Ferguson. This is the worst associative reasoning I've seen in my life. We need to move to the analytical. Angela Merkel is a paid state ruler who recently ended her time in government. I am. Not. Kidding. The associative Chernobyl thinking is this. effing. bad. Move. Into. Your. Analytical. Or. Resign.

"We have to be respectful to the commander and chief as he crashes the economy". This is an absolute NO. Just as I warned would happen again before he was elected, and again I was completely correct, and just. as. happened. the. last. time. This is real intellectual disability. This is real failure to learn from something that big and profound multiple times. You do not need to respect an authority that is crashing and burning your economy. You have a MORAL DUTY to speak up against it. The rest is good boy/bad boy lower rung moral development. Look up Kohlberg's moral development. This is not funny anymore. https://www.simplypsychology.org/kohl...
One of the biggest things that I was struck by in this book is the difference between Christian Americans and Christian Germans. The Christian Germans were in strong comprehension of social security, with Angela Merkel easily comprehending it and seeing why people with disabilities and disability symptoms were not able to work due to their symptoms and these symptoms affecting the economy in the negative if forced to work anyway. Intellectual disability, for example, when forced to work can lead to constant crash and burns and the same crashing and burning as last time from failure to learn the first time. People like this working in denial of their disability of failure to learn the first time or being forced to work due to people who do not get this at all thinking all work is good when it's not if it's greatly symptomatic are really what crashes and burns the economy, and why the social security net is absolutely necessary. She fought for it, easily understood it, and knew how it factored in to the expression at the top of the review. In comparison, Bush type American Christians really have difficulty with literally any of the comprehension of social security. They are the first to say things like "get a job" to disabled people, without seeing how the symptoms affect the economy. They show real poverty of comprehension of social security. They don't get it. It's really apples and oranges. She mentions this herself, she seems in denial of the condescension Bush showed to her when I don't see nearly as strong of a comprehension of social security on him and how without it the economy is greatly affected, when ironically they say "get a job" thinking it will help the economy. Disabled people working, especially intellectually disabled people who cause the same shutdown crash and burns each time from failure to learn the first time, has a damaging effect on the economy. The failure to learn the first time is a clear symptom that no lying about or buying IQ scores is going to hide; the behavior clearly shows profound inability to learn that you're not going to see on an upper IQ. Buying or lying about your intelligence is not going to work when the symptoms and behaviors clearly say what's really going on. In either case, work for its own sake without seeing who's work where and how is a true poverty of comprehension I have never seen on the truly intelligent, I have never seen the truly intelligent on a point blank "get a job" understanding without checking for disability, what job, underemployment, underpayment, etc. It doesn't help the economy at all, it makes it worse, if you don't do this. She also says the Iraq war was a mistake ultimately. Now we just have a bunch of people on disability with PTSD. Plus, with more incompetence comes more other-handicapping that wouldn't have happened if the right people had got it the first time. And with that more other-handicapping is more disabled people with more costs to the social security net. Narcissists in rage trying to punish getting it wrong the first time and other-handicapping create other-handicapping costs nobody can afford. Nobody can afford these narcissists that other-handicap from sheer narcissistic rage, vanity, etc. Nobody can afford these people in power or in any position that gives them the ability to other-handicap, especially on a large scale. It all goes straight to the social security costs system. She gets this naturally and immediately, as a Christian. Meanwhile the American Christian feels rejected in denial of the science. It's really apples and oranges with German Christians and American Christians, it barely even seems like the same religion. I thought it was very interesting, the difference between American Christians and German Christians. German Christians easily understand and see the reason for social security and how it helps, not harms, the economy. American Christians don't get it and think all work from anyone of any kind is good for the economy when it's not. It's real poverty of comprehension as anything other-handicapping is. They literally can make you poor and disabled from their poverty of comprehension.
10/10/25 Five stars for this woman. This is exactly what we need in this increasingly horrifying nightmarescape. She did the best job I have ever seen a human being do, and she continued to do an unbelievably thorough, fantastic and thorough job in her book, well past her last term. Nobody asked her to write this book with this much sincerely impressive competence and detail, but she did such a fantastic, well-recorded, detailed work it isn’t funny. We really needed this information. She is an unbelievably competent human being but/and a human being she is.
This is going to be a long review so I'm going to be coming back to it. This book is packed with critical, excellently detailed, and phenomenally organized and analyzed material with such a positive and human-touched character it's fantastic. I obviously am not a pro-government believer as an anarchist, but that is because I grew up under Bush and Trump. If they were more like Angela Merkel, I might have a different position. As it stands, I cannot trust or rely on the intelligence in the US government at all. It harms me tens of times more than it helps me on many or most occasions, starting from being up to five years old, pulled out of class to get my school funding taking the test on behalf of my entire class, only to have "student of the month" pulled out from under me because I dressed up for the occasion. Horrifying abuse as young as five. I have every right to feel this way about my government and to no longer even give it a chance to hurt me anymore by running for office only to be tortured in it like AOC. This AOC person is literally tortured by the constituency that allegedly "wants" her. Horrific. Way. To. Treat. Your. Representative. But if they were run like Angela Merkel's, I might have a different position.
I really struggled here with the fact she could see that the need for Palestinian sovereignty was valid and necessary, but nevertheless she didn’t want to support Palestinian sovereignty. I am going to be honest; for that, I am giving her a tactical but not ultimate, as in from my heart, five stars. To know something is sovereign and deserves sovereignty, but to still be complicit in the violation of that sovereignty is like saying, “I know you are a human being and I know you shouldn’t be raped, but I’m getting too much political support from your rapist.” She. Knows. Better. You are the victim until you’re the perpetrator. She even buys the Zionist terrorist line that to criticize Israel in its treatment of the Palestinians is antisemitic. How can she see that Ukrainians are tortured, that they deserve their independence from Putin when it is the same for Palestine with this horrifying regime run by Zionists like Zuckerberg who feel deeply humiliated by the aspects of the Shoah where they failed to adapt to loss of civilization in time in a way Germans and others didn’t, aka, some populations were able to stomach that the showers were not in their best interest—meant to harm and humiliate them—and fought back, while others didn’t, and to be part of the one that didn’t is humiliating so they’re going to “retaliatiory Holocaust” to feel less humiliated and so this could happen to anybody...disgusting. You cannot depend on civilization as we know it, in common decency as we know it, always existing. We should behave and act like we can have faith in it, but we cannot depend on it. That is part of why am I anarchist, so I do not grow heartened by another Obama administration, only to not afford normalizing that or feeling safe with that, to never trust that such things can really be internalized at the root. The humiliation of having depended on it so much that they died without it is being used to recreate Holocaust style situations to pass on the humiliation to feel in front of it. This is not the answer. The Holocaust occurred organically, it was a horrific original crime. The Zionist attempt to recreate it in a watered down version to get in front of their humiliation is so. Effing. Disgusting. It’s Zionists like Zuckerberg who do this. How can she know this is true of Ukraine but then not see it is Just. As. True of Palestine?
I am giving her a tactical five stars. She did the BEST job I have EVER seen a human being do governing a country. She’s the opposite of a pick me girl, she is a “I really just want to do the best job possible, for myself, for these fellow human beings, and for my values” woman. But I know she can do better for Palestine. So my true opinion is I give her a heartbreaking four stars for that. But I doubt she could or would be Angela Merkel if she hadn’t taken this position. And I accept and acknowledge she has a more pragmatic-political gift than I do. So I see why she did it. But deep down I’m a purist. And Israel is the victim, and deserves reparation and their own country as the victim, until they’re the abuser. The treatment of Palestine and Palestinian supporters by people like Shapiro and Zuckerberg in an attempt to get in front of the profound ethnic humiliation they feel for dying to that degree and number for such techniques by creating “echo Holocausts” is truly unacceptable and horrific. If truly examined, these individuals could and would be solely responsible for the Jews losing Israel altogether. Luckily, there are enough that aren’t so disgusting that that isn’t yet a real discussion. But if they continue unchecked, it will be. These Zuckerberg type and Zuckerberg aligned types infesting hospitals, creating illegal emergency stops directly found to be coming from Israel in the Covid-19 emergency stops, fueled by some sort of Zionist Jewish radical delusion that God will infest all parts of the Earth and the courts and hospitals, truly showing delusional behavior that includes delusional behavior towards Christians thinking they’re the new messiah and such, will be the death of Israel.
I too am deeply disturbed by the collapse of civilization and humanity in that many humans, I live a microscale of such an unbelievable and disturbing collapse of common decency as we all do under Trump and Putin, but to create “echo Holocausts” or echo behavior to feel less humiliated and essentially crap down the line is the end for them. You are the victim until you are the abuser. These have ceased to be the victim and now have turned into the abuser. I know she knows better. My five stars is tactical as I doubt she would be Angela Merkel without their narcissistic support. But the truth has shifted and can’t be purchased to be on anything other the side of Palestine, at least as it stands today in October 2025. It's funny how the reaction to people taking the side of Palestine is, "Why is the narrative shifting to Palestine?" which essentially means, "Why isn't my buying the narrative working?" You can't buy the objective truth of the situation. Israel is torturing and silencing Palestine and its supporters, choking out the fundraising by Palestinians, punishing people for going with the evidence and choosing the side of Palestine, and big tech is ultimately creating chokepoints in communication so horrific it looks 100% like a real genocide. A real one, when examined from the Big Tech communication chokepoints. You are the victim until you are the abuser. This will not heal your humiliation. This is inexcusable. They know better.
“I was depressed. For Putin, the ethnically Russian community in Ukraine was part of his power strategy, and he felt the existence of Ukraine as an independent state robbed him of their support. If he could gain full control of Ukraine, then he clearly wanted to make life there so economically and politically difficult that the country would not be able to enjoy its independence. The rulebreaker was setting the terms. He had to be stopped.” She also mentions that in the beginning of the official declaration of war in 2022, Ukrainian civilians murdered in the beginning not only showed signs of being targeted illegally as civilians, but signs of torture. This man is HORRIFIC. That is HORRIFYING. Essentially sore loser behavior. If Ukraine gets the independence it wants, they will just torture them so they can’t really enjoy it. What a sore. Effing. Loser. HORRIFIC.
Anyway, I will return to this review a lot over the next few days, but this statement below is really the medicine we need in a profound narcissism epidemic. “We Christian democrats do not indulge in navel-gazing or narcissism, we serve the people of our country.” pg. 638
