Spoke to my friend in Berlin the other day. He's very much not a 'conspiracy theorist'. We have a good relationship, he makes fun of my 'conspiracies', while I make fun of him believing everything television says. His words a few days ago: "people here are actually buying and installing fireplaces! Sales of fireplaces have gone up to never seen before highs all over Germany. I can't blame them. I think we're being reset in some sort of way. Everything all at once, from all sides. Covid, gender bs everywhere you look, Ukraine war, going green shite, Islamisation, inflation, airports in chaos, supermarkets rationing oils and flour, empty shelves. I wonder what the next shite will be. Might as well be people freezing to death this coming winter. These fucking nut job governments." I answered "since you don't have the space for a free standing fireplace, I suggest you dig out your skiwear to wear around the house come december". We both laughed.
