...Is there something meaningful to say during these days where the events of today also progress on their way tomorrow? Unimpressed and not impacted by personal opinions of anyone outside of circles of power and public influence?

There's a lot of words that you could voice and drop about the state the world it is in and what and who is responsible for it - but, will it matter? Will it matter anything? Outside of maybe getting into personal trouble? And having to fight that out alone?

Not only that it's war again in Europe - and one of the most devastating times after WWII; unlike in the war over Yugoslavia where NATO came to drop bombs and anytime they won with their orgy of violence -, meanwhile whole NATO discusses and fantasizes about sending weapons into a combat zone headlessly and without safety guarantees which hands these are gonna end up in, while at the same time every time it denies that WWIII has broken out and that its member countries play a very lively part in that. And that Ukraine, their investment proxy in this endeavor, is winning all the time for 11 months, although if it truly did, the war would already been over for a long time.
What kind of world has this become? - Or was it ever any different? Has it only been smart enough in covering its true nature with enough glitter and gold in order to make most of the population believe in its harmlessness and goodwill, being not worth a critical thought about it?

The Western world which calls itself "democractic" and still keeps on spreading its curses on a former president of the United States Trump, using acting and verbal expressions like #NotMyPresident, just because he didn't function according to the usual wishes of the economic and political establishment, seriously shows up and wants to make believe like its whole population supports these political decisions while the reality actually is that there would already be enough people out there to support a national #NotMyPresident campaign in every damn coutry against these so-called "democratic" current leaders. If it wouldn't entail the possibility of becoming subject to repressions or being publicly thrown into the camp of the political right (or whatever kind of zeitgeisty "public enemy"-image) and maybe losing your job and seeing your private life going down the drain through these unfounded mere accusations.

In which point do these policymakers pose anything different than this clown? Making decisions all the time that at least half of the country opposes over its ridiculousness and the danger they create?

The Western world keps reassuring itself over and over again that they're the good guys, the righteous ones - those with all the virtues and values worth fighting for.
But, seen from the prespective of the rest of the world, and seen from the viewpoint of a sober mind, it much more eventually turns into the Death Star from Star Wars. Destroying everything it disapproves of and enslaving everything it can for the profit of the Empire. While leaving behind the trash, the blood and the scattered body parts in the landscape to those who live in the ruins of its acting.

Long story short: Go the hell and make your war alone! Go and have a seat in your own tanks and go to the frontline!
The earlier the warmongering lobbyists and politicians are gone, including their obedient fanboys and fangirls, the better for everyone else who just want to live in peace and quiet.

Do they broadcast James Bond movies internationally as much as they do in German TV at times?
Judging from the amount of frequency, one comes to pity that man... Because he must be the most overworked agent of a secret service around the world. Under real life circumstances, he’d have to have a burnout by now, on top several other mental diseases and an addiction to alcohol, if not that he had already tried to kill himself several times in order to get out of this sick shit of a Groundhog Day cycle.

The way times are like now, one would even wish to go back to the days of just ranting about the woke mob in social media and the entertainment industry...

A myth that gets spread inside the West at least since Hollywood acquired a decisive international position and since people look up to whatever comes from its dream factory: The myth of the “only one”.
There’s one person out there in this world to be “yours”, to love you, to serve you, to fulfill your wishes, to aim for the same goal like you, to sail through good seas and difficult seas with you not leaving your side, and which will stay with you for the rest of your life, no matter what happens...

As reality started to change, as human life in the Western world became faster and people became more and more focused on consuming, as well as became more and more very individual, changing as personalities a couple of times throughout life, a small deduction from this ideal was made in terms of changing that dream to a “cohabitant”, which just stays for an undefined amount of years by your side, but very probably not for the rest of your whole life. - The slash in the timeline that they call “when people began to divorce more often”.
As well as when same-sex relationships became publicly tolerated and not prosecuted anymore.

But one basic principle throughout all these changes in human relationships remained the same: There’s just one person out there to love you and to be with, not two, three or more.
Just ONE.
One person to be intimate with, one person to be the most deeply emotional with, one person to lie in bed and sleep with. Anything else is associated with “dirt”, with being a slut and dragging shame onto one’s name. Leading relationships with more than one person at the same time also easily gets associated with “you do it with everyone who isn’t quick enough to run away from you”, implying an increased sexual neediness, which is, again, associated with different sorts of judgment over the specific person and its character, such as human poorness, a lack of taking care of oneself, lacking personal pride and self-respect, and disloyalty.

Although meanwhile there are means to prevent diseases from spreading through uncontrolled and carelessly having sex with everyone, and means to prevent a woman from possibly getting a child each time she sleeps with a man (as long as she doesn’t make use of a sex technique that prevents semen from entering her vagina), still this dogma from old times keeps being present. It gets used in marketing and in cultural standards - and at least since more Muslims live in the Western world too and bring their custom along with them that up to 4 wives are allowed within the framework of their religion, the refusal and the non-understanding towards relationships between more than two people of a whatever kind of sexual sort increased by a chunk again because it gets considered “alien” to human nature and “inhuman” in emotional terms - for whatever reason - to live one’s life like this.

But, boiled down to the heart of it - what objectivity lies behind all this?
What non-cultural, non-emotional, non-religious reason is there to keep enforcing that illusion, like it is a God-given truth?
Is there actually any at all?

All that what people link with other than a 2-person-relationship are associations that are being shoveled at them and taught to them ever since they were children. Associations that originate in Jewish/Christian religion, that originate in justified fears of earlier centuries and lack of means to put a stop to them effectively, which have been reformed and reshaped over the centuries into more modern forms as religion became lesser and lesser important for a person’s life; even as inventions like condoms and other contraceptives were made and common people allowed to use them.
The only factor that there maybe remains left with some sort of justification, to not let “everyone doing it with everyone higgledy-piggledy” come true is to not produce too many half-siblings which don’t know about each other being such - because incest of whatever kind and genetic sameness proves to be bad for for procreation and leads to increased amounts of birth defects and hereditary diseases.

But - is founding a family and continuing one’s family bloodline the main reason why people come together and form other than platonic relationships?
Or is “family” still just defined by adults procreating children? Haven’t there other forms already come together that generate a similar emotional environment?
Also, through people divorcing way more often throughout their lives, or not marrying at all and getting children even though, isn’t there an increased amount of half-siblings present in a single family through the “patchwork”-model anyway?

So, what reason is it based on to keep this dogma still around and people faithfully believing in it?

One big reason is marketing - because marketing can sell a ton of crap to people then, if they keep looking for that “only one” partner to complete their lives.
People need gadgets, utensils and human services to get pretty to court for each other (e. g. pretty, eye-catching or certain specific clothes, makeup, perfume, hairdressing, manicure, body shaving, coaches for flirting), people need spaces to potentially meet other people in which they will date later (e. g. online dating services, dating agencies, partially also bars and clubs, restaurants for having the date too), people need expensive things to impress other people (e. g. jewelry, expensive cars, a good dress), also they need high-earning jobs in order to leave behind the impression of economic security.

If you keep up that illusion of “there’s one person among millions out there which is destined to end up with you and stay with you forever”, there’s a ton of advantages for this reigning economic system called “capitalism”.
People are going to try to their best to invest in superficial commercial things, people are going to bring in their workforce to earn high status and a big salary - they’re going to aim and stretch for things they can’t reach, but along the way someone else can make a profit from those efforts.
Also, if people just aim for one person, and their heads are filled with illusions about perfection, they’re straight destined to get disappointed by the reality and quickly invest into courting for someone new again. - Which generates new profit for those people whose enterprises sell them the necessary means to enter the new hunt.

If people got down to reducing their expectations, and maybe sometimes accepting that, what they sought to find in just one person alone, to meet it in a couple of people, then this excessive courting would lose a significant reason for it to exist. People perhaps were way more relaxed, didn’t invest these tons of money (they sometimes don’t even have) into crap that’s not gonna secure them the fulfillment they pursue, and they became less judgmental of each other which maybe brings some relationships apart in the first place. Think of excessive jealousy, think of the countless personal definitions what makes out and counts as “cheating”, think of taking possession of a partner’s very life - think of that whole game of either turning or getting turned into a person that you’re not just in order to keep up each other’s expectations towards a relationship.

Investing one’s every power and material in one person is comparable to try to stake everything on one card - very high risk, very much the scenario of possibly losing everything (although you didn’t need to lose it all) and burning one’s hands along with it.
Of course, this provides a situation for adrenaline junkies and for people who are in desperate need of their ego being caressed - because getting the one and winning is very tempting, as it is just that unlikely -, but, realistically speaking, there needs to happen serious contemplation if it is worth accepting that risk every time. All the while as there are many other people out there too and someone can easily quit a relationship if anything about it doesn’t suit for them.
It isn’t the same situation anymore as the potential amount of available partners wasn’t that large because human communities lived farther apart, moving one’s location to a completely different area wasn’t that easy and single individuals didn’t have the modern means to communicate over large distances. So that you were often forced to get along with what you have available locally.

Another factor is: Why do emotional and physical needs always have to be covered in unity?
Who defined that? Who wrote the decree that this has to be the case?
Isn’t the spectrum of possible relationships between humans richer than just that one specific form as the highest form of intimacy, and no other can ever make it to a comparable quality?
Even human psyche is very colorful, can develop into many directions that socially may be considered as “bizarre” - and still there is nearly always a way or at least an ambition to establish tolerance for it.
So, why not also for the idea that you can have several intimate relationships that also include physical aspects?
In the end, some humans have them anyway without anybody of the people involved even knowing about each other (e. g. “ghetto customs of intimate relationships”)... And without spending their life with accepting moral shame.

Die kritische Sache mit dem Sympathisieren oder gar Teilnehmen an einer politischen Bewegung ist die: Irgendwann beginnt man als Direkt-Involvierter sowohl Größe als auch Wirkkraft und Wahrheitsgehalt des eigenen Lagers zu überschätzen.
Da gibt es plötzlich überall Menschen, die denunziert werden, weil sie sich mit der von einem selbst unterstützten Bewegung offen solidarisch erklärt haben oder auch nur irgendwas aus deren Strauß an Thesen geäußert haben. Da gibt es plötzlich Leute, die genau nur wegen ihrer Meinung eingesperrt oder in die Psychiatrie eingewiesen wurden - nicht etwa, weil sie schon zuvor vielleicht irgendetwas ungesundes in ihrem Kopf am Laufen hatten, was eventuell für sie oder auch andere hätte gefährlich werden können; oder weil sie schon zuvor in dubios anmutende Machenschaften verstrickt gewesen sind und nur keiner was dazu gesagt hat.

Letztlich gerät dort, früher oder später, das Engagement außer Kontrolle und wird genau zu der eingeschworenen verschwörerischen Gemeinde, die man eigentlich an anderen pausenlos kritisiert. Paranoid und von Misstrauen durchzogen, die Wanzen im Computer oder im Lichtschalter witternd, und ständig betonend wie sehr alle verarscht werden und nur man selbst das absolute Gegenmittel dafür hat. Als wären alle anderen dumm, die entweder nicht an der Bewegung teilnehmen oder nicht wenigstens ihre Thesen einleuchtend finden.

Was dieser Mikrokosmos in Bezug auf die eigene Wahrnehmung allerdings erzeugt: Außer der Bewegung und der Richtigkeit ihres Inhaltes gibt es weder rechts noch links noch irgendetwas richtiges oder rechtschaffenes. Auf die Wahrheit hat man selbst das Patent angemeldet. Egozentrik in Reinform. Alls dreht sich nur um einen selbst und man badet ständig in der eigenen Gedankensuppe.
Wer das ebenfalls nicht bestätigt, ist genauso dumm wie all die Ungläubigen. Braucht die Erleuchtung, braucht die Errettung, die nur von der eigenen Bewegung ausgehen kann...

Es kommt bei dieser Hineinsteigerung völlig die Wahrnehmung der Realität abhanden.
Wie wichtig ist man wirklich für den Verlauf der Dinge? Wie faktisch richtig ist man wirklich?
Nimmt man nicht auch Dinge inzwischen in einem ziemlich verdrehten Licht war, nur weil das die eigene Meinung bestätigen könnte? Übertreibt man nicht mitunter auch, bewertet Dinge oder Meldungen über - oder verknüpft Details zu einem Konstrukt, welches real nicht gegeben ist?
Vor allen Dingen: Stimmt die große Mär von der Diktatur, die man ständig aufpumpt wie einen Luftballon?

Bewegungen, die davon bestimmt sind, Leute vor irgendetwas zu retten, sind so abhängig von ihrem Schreckensszenario, dass sie nicht anders können als dieses aufrecht zu erhalten. Ständig an jeder Ecke Beweise für ihre genannten Einschränkungen der Freiheit zu sehen. Auch wenn immer noch die meisten Menschen frei herumlaufen dürfen und nicht wegen irgendwelcher vermeintlicher Gesinnungsverbrechen eingesperrt wurden.
Medienkonsum spielt hier auch eine sehr kritische Rolle... Dilettantische Schreiberlinge und dumme Politiker, die sich jeden Tag meinen mit schwachsinnigen Forderungen oder populistischen Phrasen wichtig machen zu müssen, können einen schnell glauben machen, dass der Weltuntergang bevorsteht und eine ähnliche Diktatur wie die des Hakenkreuzes unmittelbar auf dem Weg ist. Dass all das nur einen Katzensprung entfernt ist und spätestens in 5 Jahren alles zu sehen sein wird.

Realistisch aber sieht die Antwort vielmehr so aus: Selbst wenn jemand so etwas anvisiert, erstens wird es kaum genauso aussehen wie das Urkonzept (weil der gleiche Trick einfach nicht zwei Mal funktioniert und keine Garantie darauf bereithält, noch einmal das gleiche Resultat zu erzeugen), und zweitens, wird es viel, viel langsamer verlaufen als der menschliche Verstand herbeireden will.
Die Entwicklung gravierender politischer Veränderungen hat sich in diesem Jahrhundert dahingehend verschoben, dass sie entweder sehr plötzlich ihren Lauf nehmen - wenn man mitten drin ist, realisiert man kaum, was da gerade um einen herum passiert - oder über sehr lange Zeit vor sich gehen, schleichend und aus dem Hintergrund.

Erkennbar ist das schon, wenn man nur einen Blick auf die Ereignisse und Prozesse der letzten 10-20 Jahre blickt: Wie oft wurde dort beispielsweise der Überwachungsstaat herbeigeredet, nur weil der Staat sich Zugriff auf große Datenmengen verschafft, und gefürchtet, dass alsbald pauschal eine ganze Menge unbequemer Leute in den Arrest gesperrt werden, nur weil sie ein paar bestimmte Gegenstände auf Amazon gekauft haben, aus der man eine Waffe oder eine Bombe basteln könnte?
Immer noch ist der reale Zustand, dass der Staat seinen potentiellen Kriminellen dieser Art hinterherrennt - weil er schlichtweg kaum Kapazitäten hat, um selbst das ihm zugängliche Material auszuwerten. Auch ist er nach wie vor unabdinglich auf die Hilfe von Petzen und Blockwarte, euphemistisch so genannte „besorgte Bürger“, angewiesen, die ihm zielgerichtet Hinweise geben, wo etwas zu holen sein könnte.
Im Gegenzug haben die Bürger selbst wiederum dazugelernt und wissen sich zu verstecken, wenn sie nicht wollen, dass jemand mitlauscht. - Das alte Katz&Maus-Spiel wurde also annähernd auf den Ausgangszustand zurückversetzt.
Massenverhaftungen, so wie man es unter einem Innenminister Schäuble, oder Verbote diverser Medieninhalte und -formen wie unter einer Familienministerin namens Zensursula befürchtet, lassen bis heute auf sich warten.
So viel dazu wie schnell sich eine Diktatur zusammenformiert.

Das dürfte auch dieses Mal der Fall sein, wenn man über medizinisch unsinnige „Immunitätsausweise“ diskutiert oder über den Maskenball mit Maulkörben referiert.
Absoluter Blödsinn, der in den Raum geworfen wird, aber faktisch genau solcher ist, wird sich auf die Dauer wieder im Sande verlaufen, genau weil ganz andere im Hintergrund den Einwurf leisten werden, welcher absolute Blödsinn es ist - auch wenn es manchmal lang dauern sollte bis die Wahrheit siegt.

Betrachte man es mal an einem Beispiel: Killerspiele gibt es bis heute immer noch.
Entgegen jeglicher Aufschreie nach einem Verbot und jeglicher politischer Bestrebungen vor vielen, vielen Jahren.

Kaum kommen die ersten mit dem Bumsbomber aus dem Urlaub zurück, schon steigen wieder die Infektionszahlen und man muss sich ernsthaft Sorgen machen, dass die hier wieder alles zumachen - allen voran, dass man den Fressbeutel noch bis ins nächste Jahr hinein tragen darf...

Leute, habt ihr’s immer noch nicht kapiert?
„Normalität“ ist nicht!
Eure sonstige Ganzjahres-Schluckspecht-Tour ist nicht!
Euer Scheiß Egoismus und euer Konsumwahn haben jetzt mal Sendepause!
Und es dauert länger als 3 Wochen!
Was ist daran so schwer zu verstehen?

Ihr Menschen sind heutzutage so sehr von Gefühlsduseleien besessen, von „ich muss hier“ und „ich muss da“, von „ich brauche dieses“ und „ich brauche jenes“, und wenn ihr das nicht bekommt, dann sterbt ihr angeblich... Sterben, wenn man nicht nach Mallorca fahren kann? Ist das euer Ernst?
Es gab mal Zeiten, da war Urlaub im Ausland äußerst teuer und es konnten ihn sich lediglich die wenigsten leisten - und, gab es ein Massensterben in Europa? Nein! Deswegen ganz bestimmt nicht!
Was ist also so schlimm daran, im eigenen Land bleiben zu müssen und sich Erholung in der näheren Umgebung suchen zu müssen?
Hat wohl zu viel mit Kreativität zu tun, was?
Sogar, wenn man nicht mal wegfährt, gibt es Möglichkeiten „zu reisen“ - das Ganze nennt sich „Spiele“, „Filme“ und „Bücher“. Na, wo ist denn jetzt das Netflix-Abo? Hm? Was meint ihr, wozu das wohl gut ist!
Und selbst wer keines hat, oder eines für die anderen Mediatheken - in der Regel haben diese Leute einen Stapel DVDs/BluRays in irgendeinem Regal im Schrank zu stehen.
Es gibt genug Möglichkeiten, den Kopf auszulüften, auch ohne in die Ferne schweifen zu müssen!
Ach ja, allen voran: Sonne gibt es auch hier! Es ist der selbe Himmel!
Mittlerweile brät man auch in Mitteleuropa so sehr von nur wenigen Sonnenstrahlen, dass die Haut es einem „dankt“. Also, was wollt ihr?
Seid doch froh, dass man hier wenigstens wieder ein Eis essen gehen kann - und das auch so weiter gehen würde, mit weiteren Lockerungen, wenn alles so bleibt wie es ist!

Lasst also eure Ärsche zuhause, egal was die Regierung für Verträge mit anderen Ländern ausgemacht hat, damit die Touristen wieder kommen können! Es ist einfach nicht sicher!

Warum man sich darüber aufregen kann?
Weil man man das ungute Gefühl bekommt, dass genau irgendeiner dieser Unvorsichtigen, die unbedingt zum Saufen nach Malle fahren müssen, oder die sich am Strand in Kroatien oder der Türkei braten lassen müssen, die Ursache dafür sein wird, dass man sich die Plage selbst einfängt.
(Oder wenigstens, dass alles wieder geschlossen wird und man genauso wie März/April dasteht; der Terz also rein gar nichts gebracht hat.)

Once there was a culture for living on the darker side of things outside of the Goth scene and specialized subcultures - what happened to that? What about that now? Do all really have to look happy and hide their depressions at home? Or have to dwell isolated and alone, each person for itself?
What happened to even mainstream media culture offering a space to the troubled souls - and bringing them all together from their various backgrounds? Demonstrating they are all linked, they have something in common, by the nature of how they feel and perceive things?
Or is the money that the depressed, suicidal creatures can give to the economy simply not enough anymore?

If anyone tries to act the scandalized by the recent revelations about certain Hollywood figures being frequent molesters, here's a twist for your mind: Actually Wes Craven already said everything about this in Scream 3 a long time ago. Go watch that movie and reconsider the stories you're hearing now.
It's a give and take. The Dream Factory's a place of use & abuse, of dependence, big dreams, and some people hiding in it which have the least in good intentions with them.
As it is with all kinds of molesters, including those looking for children, they can be found in every class of society and in every job occupation that exists.
It is an illusion to tell oneself that it isn't so. One who lives in a world of his mental self denying that actually is pretty naive.
If you want to do anything for your safety, then make sure to wear the attitude on the outside "I don't fuck for career and anyone who grabs me the wrong way, being not allowed to do this by me, he's gonna get kicked right in the ass for it like a self-evidence!".
'Cause a cleansing of the world from this, executed by other people, won't be realistic.
Too many of those aren't the loser neighbor from next door - no, they're people with good public reputation, sometimes even in really high offices. They carry big names and nobody wants to remove them from it 'cause they need them.
Also, responsible, meaning "the first being able to do something for it", for the integrity of your own body is YOU.
Your body is your property - the only property nobody can ever take away from you as long as you live.
So also treat it like it is. Protect your property. Care for your property.

Und wieder läutet der Tag der dummen Fragen. "Ask a Stupid Question Day" auch in Übersee genannt.

Eine dumme Frage: Warum heißt es in Horrorfilmen immer, dass die Jungfrauen zum Schluss überleben? Was ist so besonders an denen?

...You know, where you nerd activists for the internet and admonishers of data privacy have been missing?
Not where it was about bringing innovation into the living rooms and free education, not where it was about keeping snooping eyes out of you living room.
It's even more simple.
Where was your word as the internet was turned into a commercial field and a place of the same life seriousness like the real life?
Once it was a harbor for people who felt misunderstood, who had specialized interests and who didn't find anyone to talk to in the same situation so easily right around the corner living next to them. It was a place where people could meet anonymously and not be ashamed about every shit they think and put interest in - or where they needed to calculate that next day some S.W.A.T. team is gonna kick their door in because some dubious fucker didn't like their opinion or decided to act the "concerned citizen"!
Also, there weren't whole industries of lawyers which just live from telling people they violate some big corporation's copyright or they talk the wrong way about movie/game X!
You know where you would have been needed?
Just as this kind of Pandora's box started to be opened! As this resort was turned into a place of jealousy, hate and aggressive agitation!
'Cause when Pandora's box gets opened, you can never close it again. That's exactly what things have become in the reality...
Now all outcasts, misunderstood people and nerds have lost their place to be almost completely. "Almost" because, if you're unlucky, even in the most hidden place in the internet anyone finds you, reads you and sees the need to stop you from what you're doing!
Even all your software to become anonymous again doesn't revoke that process 'cause the race has already begun for long to get a hold of this. Just before it really got started and became a common thing.
...Tell everyone what you think you can do to give this back to them, to the people who wish and who need it - for the sake of creativity or their own sanity.

Information vanishes when the last one to tell it dies.

Is there a different way to win a war than sending troops and artillery?
There is: Do it the subtle way. Destroy the infrastructure, by selling and privatizing, to let your opponent pay off debts that actually don't exist. Erase the ability to do self-catering with home-grown food, introduce the dependence on imports. Carry technology and patents out of the country. If human intelligentsia can't be lured away, make sure they can't make any profit out of their knowledge anymore - forbid them to work in their disciplines, declare graduations and diplomas to be invalid. Abolish law and order and take your sweet time to install yours as the new ones - to let chaos move in, and crime take hold. Additionally, send your own criminals in to fool the masses and to let the daily terror on the streets be perfect. Pump your own wares and goods into the newly acquired territory - to calm down the conquered masses and to make profit yourself; best even is if you let it be accompanied by advertising and propaganda how good it is, how grateful people can be to have it, meanwhile you can do the dirty work to strip them off their assets. While being at the assets: Rearrange the overall property situation. If the pattern makes sense or not, it doesn't matter - the confusion and the gain for your own fraction is the main objective.
At the end of it all, most importantly: Break the morale, the mindset of the people that you annex. Deconstruct the education system and build it anew. Let culture disappear to be never seen again. Kill the spirit of what made these people up! Make sure that way that you're going to be happy with your annexion for the coming decades - 'cause the resistance fades away with the people aging.

What would somebody say who died 10 years ago about the fuss that takes place today?
In politics as well as society as well as technology - how things in general developed during the last decade?
Would he think "the better that I have died, that's even worse than when I was still alive"?
Or would he say "I should have stayed, just to try to make a change in all these things"?
What about somebody who killed himself?
Would he be happy about his deed?
Would he scream in horror how the world has become, compared to 10 years ago?
What would his words be about Facebook, about streaming, about the current state the world is in - the economical crisis, the West's fight with Russia, the war in Syria, Libya, newly grown information sources that didn't exist back then?
Also, what would he say about culture, about current trends? About the rise of German Schlager, the dropping in the background of Hiphop, the rise of softened Electro House and the current remake mania in Hollywood?
What would he say if he heard that now it's a trend for the lost youth to travel to the Middle East and play "Call Of Duty" for real - voluntarily?

Sometimes it would be better if someone was alive again who didn't follow all these developments, just to give you a more distanced opinion, free from the political correctness of today, free from the frames and shapes which society and public likes to think in during current times.
Having been gone opens a door to potentially give you new ideas. Ideas you wouldn't have if you talked to somebody who's a child of his time and narrow-minded as the current episode is.
Too long ago may become a problem as the changes over 20 and 30 years or more are too huge for someone to comprehend in a small amount of time. There would be the danger of becoming overwhelmed by impressions.
Many things changed in a longer episode of time.

But even during the last 10 years, you have some things which totally took a major development, while you have others where you would say "business as usual". Nothing has changed.
The stupification of mankind hasn't stopped, quite the opposite, it has increased. Through the invention of smartphones and social media shifting from a text-based to a photo- and video-based issue. Bullying and mobbing hasn't vanished from the face of the earth, its results only have become quieter and no-one talks about it anymore loudly. Children themselves don't take a gun into their hands anymore nessecarily to make it known.
Adults don't have more time for their offspring, they even whip themselves some more and force themselves onto their place of work.
Poverty didn't disappear. And the rich have even grown richer than they used to be.
The only thing that maybe has become different, making an interesting change in the pack of cards, that keeping secrets has become more critical for the states. Not only is it more of an importance for them to survive than before, but also the means to do it need to scatter because it is more likely that somebody might get something out and show it to the public. Not all people entrusted with confidential information still agree on or are convinced of keeping their secrets anymore.
Also, there has grown an echo chamber which specialized in picking these things up and spread it as their own propaganda, just like you're used to it from the notorious usual suspects.
This changes the game of what to believe and what not to believe.

Someone who died earlier and was sick of this system might find its joy with the new circumstances...

As a pick-up of this: https://matrixmann.dreamwidth.org/28590.html

People talk a lot about their alleged individuality, but when you go through the interests displayed by their social media profiles - and there cannot be made the suspicion they only enter it for distracting other people from guessing their could be something important to get from them -, you come across the same kind of contents over and over again. Privately in real life, it's barely different.
During these years, movies are not the big players in the game, music had been so for a longer amount of time and is no more - due to the various possibilities to go for what they call "your thing" -, literature is something that still passes some people, so TV series are the bigger craze; that's also due to cinema being repetitive and bringing up no new ideas during this episode, doing remakes of everything and nothing they ever created in Hollywood.
And what is the case? Everywhere you go, each country which you come across, people seem to name the same things over and over again as the things they like and the things they are interested in. Nothing against quality, but these days you cannot spare but regarding all of that under some kind of forced political agenda. Eventually - why is everyone excited about content exceptionally mostly produced in the US?
Why do people eat each and every shit of a TV series coming from America?
The biggest gimmicks these days are turning 12 Monkeys into a TV series and the Scream movies! Like they haven't been good enough as they were made!
And people even get excited about content that newly filmed shit! Like they didn't know what originally was supposed to happen!
Why do people worldwide know nothing more than to watch Game Of Thrones, The Big Bang Theory, The Walking Dead, Dexter, Hannibal, Person Of Interest, The Blacklist, Black Sails, Sons Of Anarchy, Breaking Bad - a few years earlier: Teen Wolf, Vampire Diaries, True Blood, Glee, CSI: Miami (and its offsprings from other cities), Navy CIS, Hannah Montana, Taken; even earlier: Emergency Room, Grey's Anatomy, Scrubs, Dr. House, Lost, Desperate Housewifes, Sex And The City, King Of Queens, Gilmore Girls - Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Buffy and so on?!
Are people that stupid or easy to impress that American filming industry always finds an easy way to push their buttons?!
The type of that people which watched all this shit as it was current are those kind to have a habit to tell all tell all Manga / Anime freaks that it's all the same which they consume as an entertainment - that they consume anything that comes from Japan in comics, cartoon movies and video games -, but they themselves are none of the better, only with a different focus of attention!!
Brainwashed and Americanized!
And by that kind of people you wanna be taught a lesson about "being individual" and thinking yourself?
They are as individual as a stencil! They can think from the West side to the East side of the road!
They don't even take notice how much they are like their neighbor!
At the latest since Ikea has become the main sponsor of furniture for lots of apartments, they don't even notice how much even their living room looks like the one of the neighbor!
And those rave the most about being individual, being special and being one in a million that needs to be cried for when they die!
You know what? If you wanna get an opinion about mankind, just fucking look at this targeted remote control and see for yourself!
All fucking caged full purses imagening they're someone and they live in wide open lands.

It't just a shame, if you have to turn your back on your asserted political direction, or your asserted subculture, just because those people that are in it are so stubborn, narrow-minded and willing to perceive anything that makes you, in their eyes, be no-one that belongs to their roundel.

Für den König hätte man auch Synthetikfasern erfinden müssen, um ihn in seiner Langeweile zu begeistern.

In a dark age...

... why not let the darkness embrace you instead of practicing a happy-go-lucky culture?

Deutsche Kultur - welche deutsche Kultur? Etwa die amerikanischen Fernsehserien, die du dir ansiehst?
Die amerikanische Musik, die du dir anhörst? Oder die amerikanischen Markenprodukte, die du konsumierst?
Schreist "Rettung der deutschen Kultur" und regst dich nicht einmal über die letzte Rechtschreibreform auf. Oder dass außer Krimis und Telenovelas nichts ursprünglich deutsches mehr im Fernsehen läuft.
Kennst wahrscheinlich nicht einmal die letzten zwei Bundespräsidenten vor dem aktuellen Amtsinhaber.
Wenn jemand das Wort "Schiller" erwähnt, dann winkst du ab und liest doch lieber deine Mangas.
Statt dich bei deinem lokalen Radiosender zu beschweren, dass außer deutschem Schlager keine deutschsprachige Musik gespielt wird, schwenkst du lieber deine Fahne und erzählst von großem Partriotismus und wie sehr du Deutschland liebst. Beschwörst große Formeln und Zaubersprüche wie wichtig es dir ist, und letztes Jahr war es das noch nicht. Wenn dein Land dich zum Kriegsdienst rufen würde, würdest du dich noch als erster im Keller verstecken.
Weißt du wie man das nennt? Das ist nicht besser wie die, die ihre Fahne zu einer Fußball-WM entdecken.
Aus dem Alter für solche Spielchen wächst man heraus, spätestens wenn man Anfang zwanzig wird.
Nur für Jugendliche ist es wichtig, zu einer Gruppe dazu zu gehören, dass sie dafür alles tun würden.
Bevor du große Sprüche klopfst, fang an, dich um Dinge zu kümmern, die du ohne das Schwert lösen kannst. Wenn dir das zu langweilig ist, dann war es wohl nichts mit der Wichtigkeit.
Sie war nur ein Filter auf deinem Objektiv.

In the beginning, we just wanted to create art to keep the people entertained and to teach them a lesson about life once in a while. Our actors wore masks and for the names of our play writers, we used pseudonyms, so that no-one on street could recognize them by their looks and recognize them by their names being called out. It was a nessecary protection to all our people involved because the vice squads didn't always like what we displayed. It also was nessecary to ensure that only the message is being heard, only the play gets the regards.
But some time, this all changed. Actors suddenly got up on stage showing their true faces, revealing their names and making sure everyone knew them in town. They were selfish and craved for admiration. They... took great care of that people thought they were above them. Being worth more than all the regular folks.
From then, the writers started to do the same. They tried to be on everyone's lips, entering competition with the actors that stand on the stage.
With the fight for the attention also the fight for the payment arose.
Everyone has thought that only his task is being important for the play.
They started to despise each other.
And by despising, the quality of the performance also decreased.
The message was more silent than ever. More silent than repression, exclusion and every kind of state violence could ever make it. All just by mere competition and sophomoric.
Albeit this point in time seems to mark it, humans, in the East as well as in the West, as well as in the North and as well as in the South, worship the people that climb a stage and see them as a hero, much more than people that actually are heroes. They call their names and cheer whenever they see them, they want devotional objects and autographs and sometimes be with them for a night. Or even worse: Be with them for their entire life.
The actors themselves, as well as all others which show their art on stage, pride themselves on the show that they present, regardless of the content, if they bring something useful to the audience, reckless about the people which make happen that they have anything to present at all.
People, like then, assume they're above it all and not even death is something that could reach them.
They act like they never age and everything forever is going to stay the same.
They engage in admiration and monuments, like they sort of saved the world.
Like our actors, they think they're invincible and everything should just be about adoring them all over the day.
