To be clear, the Vance/Musk intervention did not change the outcome. Still, the fact that it happened changes German and European politics forever

This is really good but seems to me it is missing two important aspects. 1) The techno supremacists and Nazis aren't just tearing things down. They are likely building their own image, a new feudalism it seems like.

JD Vance's intervention for AfD not looking all that brilliant right now

Is it arguable that Die Linke did better in this election precisely because of the painful BSW split, which allowed them to take the boldest possible (and it turns out popular) antifascist position against AfD without having to worry about a "left nationalist" wing?

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire
