My latest essay is on the political theory of Carl Schmitt.

Schmitt is often caricatured as an apologist for tyranny, but this is partly because of the real tensions in his work: Schmitt is a Catholic who seems to divorce politics from questions of the good, and a supposed proponent of authoritarianism who actually saw himself as defending democracy.

What is the real crux of Schmitt's theory, and what explains these supposed contradictions? I explain:

The United Kingdom is now an obstacle to national expression for all of its constituent peoples. As mass-society in Britain becomes Yookayified, I argue nationalists should welcome the final dissolution of the Union.

So many people sensationalising this absolute nothing burger today.

Let me break down how insignificant this is: the guy who died today was 80 years old after a long chronic illness. The six previous deaths are spread out since early July, an entire two months. Not only that, but it's for a region that typically runs 20k candidates. AfD polls at about 20-25% nationally right now, so probably at minimum they would run 2k candidates here.

But wait, two of the supposedly mysterious deaths were of "backup candidates", meaning the overall pool is probably a multiple of 2k. Let's just say with backup candidates, it's only double the low estimate of 2k. What are the odds that of a pool of 4,000 Germans, with an average age of mid 50s (it's probably even older), 6 of them will die in an 8 week window?

The annual death rate for this age group in Germany is apparently about 0.5%. That means the expected deaths of a pool of 4,000 over an 8 week period would actually be 3 people, or:
4,000 × 0.5% × (8 ÷ 52) = 3.07

And the chances of it being 6 or more is about 9%, or 1 in 11. And that is using a very low estimate of candidates and "backup candidates" to calculate. That's what hysterical influencers are saying is statistically impossible and using to conclude there is a plot to assassinate 80 year old local German politicians.

And that's just putting aside the minor detail that most of these people had long term health conditions and no one associated is alleging any foul play.
