For those who celebrate “May Day” as what it was, back in the bad old days of Communism, “International Worker’s Day”, or “Labour Day” (in every part of the Western world except Amerikhastan, because ‘Murkins insist on being special), then that was Friday. These days, of course, May Day is nothing more than a celebration of springtime. In Russia, where it is an actual public holiday, May 1 is simply a good excuse to retreat to one’s dacha in the countryside, and enjoy some shashlik (grilled skewered meat).
That said, if you look around at what Europe has become, you have to wonder what the entire point of the Socialist Revolutions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries accomplished. The worker uprisings and protests that wracked Europe throughout the later Industrial Revolution were direct responses to the exploitation of the working classes by landlords and factory owners. In response, Western governments enacted social welfare reforms that preserved the core value-generating capitalist system of private ownership and profit, while layering on top of that a safety net paid for by general taxation.
One can argue the merits and demerits of that approach all day long – I personally favour a more hands-off approach, of course, but I recognise that people had absolutely legitimate reasons to go on strike and get angry about pay and conditions back then.
Here is the key point, though: that social welfare system was always intended to be for the natives of those countries. It was NEVER intended for foreigners, “refugees”, and economic migrants, who came to Europe to take advantage of that often very generous system.
But Europeans for some strange reason decided to enter into a continent-wide suicide pact, starting, it seems, with the creation of the European Economic Area, which loosened borders and allowed for rapid movement of peoples across the European nations. Apparently, the people of Europe were so thoroughly convinced this was a good idea, that they never thought about the higher-order consequences.
What, for instance, would happen if certain European countries allowed mass migration from Third World shitholes? Would those new arrivals suddenly turn into good Europeans, simply by virtue of the Dirt that is Magic? Or, as history and human nature appear to dictate, would those same new arrivals simply be a vast burden on the social welfare systems of Europe and its governments?
The answer shows in the modern state of countries like the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. The UK is basically a poor country with one very wealthy city – London – which is not even remotely “British” any longer. I went to London for university, and rather liked it, at that time, but even back then, I could tell it was transforming rapidly into something un-British. Today, I truly hate going there.
France is no longer French. Paris stinks of urine and rat faeces, on top of that nasty fugue of cigarette smoke, garlic, and cheese-based body odour that seems to cling to the Frogs over there.
And as for Germany… well:
Europe tried to model itself as a kind of social-democratic paradise, after the horrors and ravages of the Second World War. It failed, utterly, and ended up as a broken and bankrupt collection of states that have nothing to offer their own native peoples beyond beautiful historical ruins.
That is, it must be said, a very sad indictment of what was once, and might well be, the greatest civilisation the world has ever seen.
Anyway – putting aside such depressing thoughts, let us get to the lovely lady of the week.
This here is Olga Shabalina (Ольга Шабалина), age unknown, but almost certainly originally from Mordor, currently living in Paris. God only knows why, but then, I have very little respect for France as a place or a people. She appears to be an actual model, doing… whatever it is models do, I guess.
Happy weekend, lads.

Germany is a special case of exceptional stupid. you can’t just blame the Greens, France has plenty of enviro-weenies and they still have their nuke plants.
why you would shut down all of your nuclear and coal production facilities, decades before there was any plausible power substitution route from “renewables” is simply baffling.
unless the whole goal was to destroy the viability of the nation. but then, there’s plenty of decisions that go on all across the West that make sense when viewed as official government policy who’s only purpose is to damage the nation.
