Pedro's Corner

I wonder what Britain will come up with.

It will be something. This country has been living in its own shadow for going on eighty years.
A cloak and veil of modesty producing the best television broadcasting as well as some absolutely fine spy stories. But all in the American supergiants context. It just doesn’t quite compute as sleekly as when they were operating on the presumption of their own supremacy. That worked. It worked for a lot of people. Indians (the proper ones) weren’t hard to colonize by the means of the English culture without the bad weather and worse food, namely, nice speeches, nice hats, cup-o-tea, and football, on occasion with the head of a rambunctious tribesman to inspire a homeopathic dose of terror along with the prettiness to give it its sharp edged moustache, as a manner of speaking.

Land of hope and glory. The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, yes, they did conquer the world. I am fully wrong. Im aware, and yet, this is the point. One can at the same time be wrong as right, at the same thing at that.

I wonder what they’ll come up with.

German people have a disadvantage when they step out of Germany. Unless they’re taken in by secret government programs, they don’t tend to walk around naturally among non-Germans. And it is not said that even in these government programs they’ll talk to people other than German and perhaps the occasional Hungarian.

The way Germans can thrive elsewhere is by being Swedes.

In what turned out to be our last conversation (for a while, one hopes, or does one? Fucking women), I was telling my girl about how all fascist countries love coming to Venezuela. Spaniards, Italians and Germans. The Spanish and the Italians, they come and after a couple of decades we have melted the fascist off of them (aesthetically it stays there, but you know how north south americans are). The Germans though, their fascist stays on through generations. Intact. We were talking about German anger, so visible in the peasant or farmer. She remarked how my own anger is, perhaps, not so ungerman. In that, I suspect Germans and Austrians and I would all like eachother, perhaps what you call directness.

I know for a fact I would eventually fit in with Germans, within short order with Austrians and a little later with all those Nordic bastards. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go. Some other life, perhaps. I do hope they never go full Nazi again. That was a bad idea. And to turn on the Jews an unforgivable betrayal that will resound for millenia.

Yeah but, visible anger.
I don’t think they’re angrier than others, just more comfortable with it.
But they’re phenomenally chill.

I remember driving back into Germany from the South and in the middle of the freezing night pulling int a mega complex gas barista type thing and the dudes there, at the half mile long counter, three of them, so immensely thoroughbred German that I laughed for about an hour after I pulled out with the coffee and the breadies. It snowed, too. Damn man Europe is so weird.

Yeah…

The only way I have been able to wrap around Germany a little and make sense of it is through Nietzsche, through separating it into a number of different peoples. Or areas, whatever.

I dunno. I know they are chill and all that, the German sense of style, of chill, is…

But you know. It is possible that there is something there that is slated for extinction. Such direct anger, such comfort with it. It is not self righteousness, it is so far beyond that. it may be constitutively racist and supremacist and sort of genocidal in a way that is paradoxically not angry. That… Man…

I don’t know.

I don’t fucking know.

Or I do. Such awesomeness cannot be allowed to go extinct.

You know?

Boateng.

Even Freud and Theodor Hertzl.

I admit, this is something I have not yet worked out. But as long as nobody is mobilizing genocidal armies and religions by the masses, there is time and I feel optimistic about it.

Rengel, it turns out, is German as fuck. Was glad to discover this distant cousin books.google.ca/books?id=uIiKWe … el&f=false

My grandfather, one of the architects of pre-Chavez (and even has largely survived Chavez) Venezuelan law, was German as fuck. I think it was his father that immigrated, possibly his grandfather. His mother, too, lol, Romberg.

They lived in the plain, el llano.

Or as they (llaneros) prefer to call it, la sabana.

What happened to my grandfather that I think in an oblique way defascistized us was that he studied with top legal scholars of Italy. Embraced catholicism and married a very catholic woman. Became very Italian, sort of Italian fascist, which is curable by Venezuela like I said. But the gene is there. I am convinced it is genetic.

Like Arab jupiterianness is also genetic, and is why of all Europeans only Spaniards and souhern Italians to a lesser extent have it.

He had a huge Lombard tapestry of a hunting scene with a castle in the background. Lol. He was a humble man, was raised not dirt poor but far from wealthy in the Venezuelan plains. Italian humble, you know? But he had that tapestry. That’s where German and Italian meet. The Lombard connection.

I think with a strong France, it all sorts itself out.

I think even Germans think this.

In my heart thats a bridge we already crossed.
I no longer fear genocide, I know it is here real and Ive come to terms with it.
At this moment Christians are getting genocided and laws against speaking out on this are being put in place.
Its what humans do.
One Belgium king Leopold killed more Africans than Hitler killed Jews.
Im not going to judge a country on this. Thats just bad leadership. I wonder what else they can do.

Hitler’s invasion of France brings up one word for me above all others: incestuous.

Hitler in general had a strong incestuous vibe to him.

In my judgment against Germany, did you hear me mention genocide?

Thats 20th century Europe. Arab-Dutch, Arab-French, Arab-Swedish - these are all types now.

I shouldn’t even have used that word for what I did use it for. It’s just a convenient shorthand.

As long as the Fascist / Nazi is still weak, I should have said, I still have hope. And I mean among humans. People type people. Not these EU zombies.

Hang on there, cowboy. It took Spain centuries to claim that inheritence. And Italy at least a whole century to not quite claim it.

And it was in the context of a Jupiterian imperial project.

Hold your horses there.

Let’s just see what history does. I won’t deny the possibility.

Everything today is infected through and through with socialism and communism. And the wounds that these are infections of where never quite resolved, obviously, thus the infection.

Let’s just see.

Issa complicated.

By fuck issa complicated.

I hold to my previous prescription. Strong US superpower, Europe figure its shit out. We all promise to think about the problem of transnational drug trading groups.

What do you mean? The irreversible injection of Arab-ness in the 20th century is now having its biological and cultural effects. Im not saying the process is completed, but if you don’t know these types you really havent seen much of Europe lately.

And Spain is notoriously slow.
