EU elites commit billions to Anglo-driven rearmament as housing ruins millions. Is this the "unity" Europeans wanted? Or a vassal state marching to Washington's drum?
Body:
The verdict is in, and it’s more damning than we imagined. Europe’s ruling elites haven’t just chosen guns over homes – they’ve chosen vassalage over sovereignty.
While millions drown in rent, face eviction, and abandon hope of ever owning a home, the European Union’s answer isn’t a Marshall Plan for housing – it’s a blank check for rearmament dictated by Anglo-American interests. Last week's commitment to spend 5% of GDP – hundreds of billions – on "defense readiness" isn't just a policy choice. It’s the culmination of a terrifying historical pattern: Unity forged not by vision, but by the manufactured fear of an external threat, orchestrated by our de facto masters across the Atlantic and Channel.
Connect the poisonous dots:
The Internal Theft: Our homes – a basic human need – have been hijacked by global capital. Prices soar, rent consumes lives. Generation Rent is born into serfdom within their own nations.
The External Masters: Enter the "Anglo thalassocracies" (UK & USA). Facing their own imperial decline, they leverage the ridiculous, inflated specter of a Russian land invasion of Europe (a logistical fantasy dwarfed by the real threat of internal societal collapse). This manufactured panic becomes the perfect lever.
The Forged "Unity": Brussels bureaucrats and national elites, ever-eager to prove their Atlanticist loyalty (or simply lacking the spine for strategic autonomy), leap at the chance. Suddenly, unity isn't about shared social values or continental prosperity. Unity means buying Anglo-American weapons systems, integrating into their command structures, and hollowing out our social fabric to fund their geopolitical game.
The Ultimate Betrayal: Citizens beg for housing relief. Governments plead poverty. Yet €100 Billion? €200 Billion? More... Materializes instantly – not for homes, not for hospitals, not for the green transition – but for weapons demanded by Washington and London. The message is undeniable: "Your desperation is less important than our role as an Anglo military auxiliary."
This isn't just neglect. It's colonial subservience disguised as strategy. We are witnessing:
The Manufactured Threat: Russia, a regional power bogged down in Ukraine, elevated to an existential bogeyman to justify looting the European social budget for Raytheon and BAE Systems profits.
The Death of Strategic Autonomy: Europe’s "unity" is defined not by its own citizens' needs, but by its obedience to Anglo-Saxon security paradigms. Brussels becomes a colonial administrator, enforcing Washington’s priorities.
The Vassal State Reality: We pour concrete for US troop bases while our own citizens sleep in concrete underpasses. We buy F-35s while families freeze in mouldy rentals. Is this the Europe Schuman and Monnet dreamed of? Or a wealthy, armed province of a fading Anglo empire?
The Ghosts of 1848 SCREAM Louder:
Bread vs. Barracks (Funded from Abroad): Then, starving masses watched monarchs spend on palaces and armies. Now, rent-burdened masses watch democracies loot their future to fund an Anglo-American military-industrial complex.
The State Arms Itself (For Its Masters): The armies funded by neglecting the people in 1848 were turned on those people. Will Europe’s new, Anglo-subsidized tanks one day patrol streets filled with protesters demanding homes or higher wages ? The ultimate colonial irony.
Unity Through Subjugation, Not Solidarity: 1848 saw genuine popular uprisings for self-determination. Today’s "unity" is a top-down imposition, a unity of vassal states marching in lockstep to a foreign capital's drumbeat, while their own societies fracture.
This rearmament isn't just gasoline on the housing crisis fire – it's proof we've lost control of our destiny. It screams:
We Are a Colony: Our resources flow to serve Anglo strategic interests, not European human needs. The "no money" lie is exposed by the billions magically found for Lockheed Martin.
Our Elites Are Collaborators: They prioritize their standing in Washington and think-tank cocktail circuits over the survival of their own social contract.
The Revolt Will Be Anti-Colonial: Anger won't just target landlords or indifferent governments. It will target the entire structure of subservience – the Anglo masters and their Brussels puppets who sacrificed a generation's security on the altar of Atlanticist loyalty.
Look around you: The rent strikes. The occupations. The seething resentment. Generation Rent will soon become Generation Rage – and their fury has a new target: the foreign powers and domestic quislings who rule them (if they'll manage to see them).
1848 taught us: When people have nothing left to lose, and see their state serving foreign masters, the barricades rise. Europe isn’t just sleepwalking towards instability; it’s being marched there by its Anglo-American overseers, clutching shiny new weapons paid for with the stolen futures of its own people.
The powder keg is built of unaffordable bricks. The fuse is lit by Anglo fearmongering. The explosion? It won't just be against landlords – it will be against an entire edifice of vassalage.
Or we'll simply sleepwalk it through as usual...
