On the topic of moving to Hanau, boy did I luck out there: The history of the city and the surrounding region is absurdly chaotic and full of incredible stories that I look forward to telling. It ain't just the Brothers Grimm, it's so much more. – at Hanau, Germany
Since I disappeared for a year and a bit, it might interest some of you to know that I moved from Stuttgart to Hanau, east of Frankfurt. Bought a home in Steinheim, an absurdly pretty part of town. Top ten life choices, easy.
I know there's a subset of followers who will enjoy this: Here in Hanau they managed to preserve a significant number of tombstones from the Alter Friedhof dating back to the Thirty Years War - after a massive fundraising drive and restoration project.

A soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier issued a verbal reprimand to a group of advisers and staffers with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. As the group broke from taking photos, a loud laugh could be heard, and the soldier guarding the tomb shouted: “All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.”
Paul, mate. I have the notion that you weren't born in 1988. I think there's another reason you chose that number.
No, poo pusher, the only people banging on about Poles were those too cowardly to talk about Pàki r-pists. The anti-white jėw-K system will allow to to criticise fellow whites, but will jail you for singling out the browns/bIacks

The material created to sell Brexit was entirely predicated on Central & Eastern Europeans 'stealing' British jobs/hospital beds/classroom seats.
The whiplash, listening to the next gen of Far Right chuds bang on about Poland as a shining civilisational beacon is absurd.
The worst people you know, each with an AI anime avatar and calling themselves something like 'Aethelchad', speedrunning the Nuremberg Race Laws on this app. Absolute 'Black Mirror' material.
I'm down with an Athelstan festival. Give him a hell of a programme of events. Exhibitions. Lectures. Reenactments. Build a museum. Invite everyone.
If you let it be the preserve of a bunch of basement dwellers and malcontents, you're doing a historical unifier a disservice.
These tweets always get an audible laugh from me. Some kid in his teens or early twenties, fretting that various skin tones at Flinders Street heralds civilizational collapse. The fragility.
If this chud came to southern Germany during Fastnet/Fasching, he'd probably have a stroke. We got demons, witches, ghosts, forest spirits, all manner of local monsters. They actively mess with you too.
Pit them against one another. Present rolladen for operation. Ask them to sing 'Atemlos'. Have them name three villages/town they're bound by the weight of centuries to despise. Make them sort rubbish. Correctly.
You'll have your answer REAL quick.
Who do you consider more German?
A) Born and raised in Germany to a German father and Turkish mother
B) Born and raised in America to two German parents. Speaks no German and never been to Germany.

You lived in Australia your entire childhood and you never saw a foreigner?
Yes mate, and I can levitate, shoot heat rays from my eyes and run a 5k in five minutes.
If this was a real German house, it'd have been burned several times to the foundations before we even got to 1900. Also, repurposed as a stable/billet/ammunition store for a stretch by Swedes/Frenchmen/Austrians.
Also, where's the rolladen? Immersion ruined.
I think you'll find that the Church of England is'the state religion', Maddie.
They ran the school which you attended.
Which, if our experiences were similar, you learned quite a lot about Christianity.
Learning about the tenets of other faiths doesn't cancel that out.

Mate, we're both Australian. We've both lived in a country that is very much multicultural and is vibrant, peaceful and prosperous for it - indeed, built on the back of it. Be absolutely for real. Stop LARPing and go have a dim sim.
Yes, believe it or not it’s possible to simultaneously want modernity AND no flood of foreign savages at the same time!
Just because it’s beautiful to see our countries homogenous, that doesn’t mean we’re simply pining in nostalgia. We are looking at a future in which every Western country becomes Brazil-like at best.
Every time I see that Young Bob fella, I think I'm gonna finally learn what Roblox is about, or become privvy to some peak Five Nights At Freddys lore.
Then I unmute it, and it's just racism. Disappointing.
