Ultrarechte, Erzkonservative, Nazis und der angebliche Kampf für Meinungsfreiheit - das hat sich eigentlich schon von der ersten Stunde an widersprochen...
(Denn diese Gruppierungen haben schon immer von Natur aus nur die Meinung geduldet, die mit ihrer übereinstimmt, oder ihr zumindest entgegen kommt und ihr zuarbeitet.)
matrixmann: (Standing one's ground)
Immer wieder wird in den letzten Monaten und Jahren der Kampfbegriff "Femizid" in den Raum geworfen - wisst ihr aber, wo er genau bei der gleichen Heuchelei mitmacht, und den bestehenden Verhältnissen ohne Ausnahme zuarbeitet?
Genauso das ewig gleiche einseitige Geplärre über vorgeblich in dieser Zeit "ausartender Gewalt gegen Frauen" in den westlichen (wohlhabenden) Ländern?

Bei Gewalt gegen Kinder.

Da stellen die Gläubigen des Feminismus um keinen Deut irgendwelche Forderungen nach härteren Strafen, besserer Strafverfolgung oder Fußfesseln.
Warum auch? Kinder sind schließlich keine Frauen - und nur um die schert sich der Feminismus.
Beziehungsweise, nur die Hälfte von ihnen sind welche (oder werden mal welche); der Rest gehört ja zu den bösen Schwanzinhabern, die pauschal ja sowieso nur einmal zu Vergewaltigern werden und soaziale Privilegien bis aufs Messer gegen Frauen verteidigen werden, und daher keines Schutzes bedürfen...

...Nicht nur, dass daran der versteckte, aber genauso üble Sexismus des Feminismus offensichtlich wird (und aller, die ihn in diesen Jahren blind mit Löffeln gefressen haben) - man merkt auch, wie sehr diese Ideologie um sich selbst kreist und sich alles, im Grunde, auch nur um Klientelpolitik dreht. - Wo vielleicht einzelne Protagonistinnen noch persönlichen Gewinn daraus ziehen wollen.

Böse könnte man dabei sogar davon sprechen: Siehe man wie kinderfeindlich die feministische Ideologie ist.
Denn sie sieht sich nicht genötigt, noch den Bedarf danach, mal etwas dafür zu tun, dass Leute, die Kinder schlagen oder vergewaltigen, oder für irgendwelche egoistischen/egozentischen Zwecke missbrauchen, oder großangelegte Pornosammlungen von Bildern mit ihnen oder Quälereien von ihnen anlegen, mal einigermaßen angemessener zu dem Schaden, den sie auf lange Sicht bei den Betroffenen anrichten, bestraft zu werden.
Keiner, der von dieser Seite mal darauf hinweist (bzw. auf den Zug aufspringt): Kinder sind keine halben Erwachsenen, und darum dürfen Strafen bei Vergehen gegen Kinder auch nicht viel geringer ausfallen.
Kinder, die nämlich heute körperlich und mental zerstört werden, sind die fehlende Zukunft von morgen. - Werden diejenigen sein, die langjährig das Gesundheitssystem beschäftigen werden, wegen der vielen Folgeerscheinungen von Missbrauch und Traumata.
Sie werden kaputte Erwachsene sein, die eventuell vom Arbeitsmarkt weg sind, viel wahrscheinlicher aber noch wieder Kinder hervorbringen werden, die sie genauso zu weiteren kaputten Erwachsenen prägen werden. - Schneller als sie sich ihrer Vergangenheit und deren Auswirkungen auf ihr Innenleben bewusst werden.

Übel gesprochen: Feminismus, du arbeitest den Pädos und ihren Netzwerken in allen Gesellschaftsschichten wunderbar zu pass!
Weil du dich nämlich nicht dafür interessierst, wie die Jüngsten, die einmal die Zukunft sein werden, kaputt gemacht werden.
Du willst nur harte Strafen für Leute, die irgendwas gegen Weiblichkeit machen oder haben; irgendwelche Rachsucht befriedigen.
Ob es aber noch toxischer (um mal deine Wortwahl und Rhetorik aufzugreifen) für die Gesellschaft ist, dass weiterhin Gewalt gegen Kinder geradezu wie ein Kavaliersdelikt bestraft wird - so weit willst und kannst du nicht denken.
Somit offenbarst du ziemlich deutlich, in einem weiteren Aspekt von vielen, dass du in Wirklichkeit an keiner Veränderung der Zustände interessiert bist, sondern nur auf die andere Seite des Tisches wechseln willst. Andere mal schlagen, drangsalieren und herumschubsen können willst.

Die Vorwürfe von Betroffenen, die einst mal solche Kinder gewesen sind, dass Gewalt gegen Kinder vergleichsweise lasch gesühnt wird, gegenüber Straftaten an Erwachsenen, in dieser Tradition machst du nämlich "fröhlich" weiter, lieber Feminismus - und macht ihr auch weiter, liebe Feministinnen!

Steckt euch also euer Gesülze von "jeden Tag wird eine Frau..." und euren Femizid in wesentlich behüteteren Teilen der Welt als Afrika oder Nahost (wo erheblich mehr Gewalt and Frauen passiert als ihr es in eurer abgeschirmten Käseglocke des westlichen Wohlstands kennt) sonstwohin.

(Täglich sterben mehr Menschen auf der Welt durch Krieg als nur eine Person - und ihr schert euch um eine einzige Frau im Westen, die zu Tode kommt, nur weil sie eine Frau ist...)

In reaction to a text from [livejournal.com profile] onb2017, I get upon the following:

As a Westerner speaking from within the West, I don't really see a unification to stand up against those forces which want to keep the workforce and majority of the population of the world down ever coming so soon.

The reason is the following: Everyone - differing groups - can't even agree on the color of turd.
How do you want to achieve a higher and more complex goal like that, if you can't even manage that triviality?

On the other hand, there is to be considered and has to be admitted: Do I want to work together with feminists, with intersectionalists, with Identity Politics disciples, which want to tell me that the suffering of a woman or a black person is always bigger than mine, if I happen to be a paleface and are not female?
Do I want to work together with people whose primary business every day is first offending me, ridiculing me and telling me that I'm the source of the evil of the world because I have the wrong sex (or want to convert into the wrong sex)?

These people should check out health problems with biological origins... Then they would learn that the problems they refer to - social problems - are solvable, if everyone really wants to, while biological health problems rarely are that solvable that they'll be gone completely. Plus, you can't run away from them, as you carry them with you wherever your go, even to the edge of the world with no other humans around anymore.

What I want to say by this: You stupid fools, obsessing with your social/human problems... Get a life. This will keep both of your hands busy with enough to do.
Even if human-made problems can be quite nasty, evil, violent, brutal and malevolent - still they are solvable (because it "simply" requires human agreement on a common basis and fairness), while problems resulting from bad material, material that cannot be exchanged after developing anymore, often aren't.
This type of problems can hit everyone, regarless of skin color, regarless of sex, regardless of ethnicity or wherever you were born on this planet.
Regardless of what you believe in, prefer or think is right and wrong.

And as long as there are larger groups of people which put their reverse racism and sexism as the top priority on their list instead of recognizing the usefullness in achieving something which everyone benefits from, the road to working together for a particular goal is going to be blocked.
Same for people who subscribed to esoteric nonsense, fucked up conspiracy theories and religious faith, who are hostile to fact-based edcuation and well-established medicine (and/or only accept the "education" and "medicine" which they approve of), who react aggressively if they get put in their place once in their lives - who only put an interest in getting themselves and their kin the best life and the best resources, making their children and grand-children and parents survive and leave everyone else to die.

You can't act together if there is no common ground and if each group is only interested in lobbyism for the social group they want to represent because they think their group is the best of all living creatures and everyone else is unworthy trash.
You can't act together if hate and despise for each other is the greatest point you have in common.
And if those who still want to be fair are being laughed at, silenced and then trampled upon - like, what they want and demand from everyone is totally impossible to achieve, or even "ignorant of all the wrongs being done to group X in history".

At least I find, I can't work together with people brain-washed and self-obesessed like that.
(They only want to change to the other side of the table anyway... That's what the character of their acting and their mindset strongly implies.)

Parts of them you even don't want to be seen with because their stupidity and greed is embarrassing as hell.

...Therefore, even if not wanting to subscribe to all that crap that divides everyone, there is no real way around having to surrender to parts of it because the differing social groups in society are so mutually incompatible with each other (also with your own viewpoints) - it's like wanting to make a lion work together with a type of animal that is its natural prey.

The world drowns in a scattered fire of conflict and war.
Those areas which aren’t hit by this yet are met with an increasing backlash into old-fashioned conservatism and, in parts, from religiosity to religious fanatism - still rather social, but a moderate threat exists that it will also become politically and cast in law.
“Values” and defending those they call that, completely forgetting that all “values” are just a human invention and a human imagination. - In nature, these “values” don’t exist and the only rule is: “Eat or be eaten.”
Meanwhile, forgetting on the other hand, that those “value defenders” of today have made their very contribution over long extents of time that those “values” have been lost and dismantled. By indescribable amounts of neglect, carelessness about them (so much for their supposed “importance”!), corruption, personal gain and greed for lucre.

Sometimes you wonder if the people who work for the (mass) media think of themselves like having a little of the touch of a deity. Totally overestimate their role in and for society and the services in practice they deliver.
Because - how could it be otherwise that alpha journalists who are economically relatively safe mindlessly repeat propaganda over and over again aggressively that screams of being such, or even join creating fake shit where it’s obvious later if you see it that it’s made up, that it’s been created, artificially arranged and cut together? If people from the outside can find out without the use of higher science that something is arranged circus, how come that the journalists who report the crap can’t recognize it similarly?
If that’s the case, there’s only one option... That they know they present fake and arranged shit. But they either don’t care or harbor the mentality “the ends justify the means”.
Meaning: They imagine being on a mission from the Lord himself or some sort of that.
Think like they have truth, justice and rightfulness on their side, and what they proclaim is totally unquestionable. Only a fool would dare to do that.

Because - it’s noticeable that acting as a tool of propaganda and war factories isn’t solely done by people who work for the media whose position is in economically precarious conditions, that they have to do that as part of their job because they don’t have the necessary personal freedom to refuse doing something.
Even more it’s being done by people who rather have made it up to the highest ranks, who are in an economically favorable position, who are firmly employed and don’t have to worry so soon about not getting engaged anymore by certain media houses, fired or dropped by the whole “craft” itself because of supposedly “having gone crazy” or “having joined the enemy side/the side of the unreasonable ones”.
So... if you can factually afford refusing, but don’t do it and even hang around at the front of the information war directly, rehashing the crap of the powerful ones or crap that’s supposed to influence the powerful ones (especially from politics), then there is nothing left but assuming a targeted will and belief in the shit that you spread and propagate.
Combined with probably overestimating yourself and your personal role for the ongoings of the world outside of human society, and subscribing to some sort of megalomania “I’m the news content because I make the news content!” (similarly to “I am the law!”) - the same arbitrariness that one can see with people who are self-righteous from the depths of their hearts and are little tyrants below the surface.

Warum lässt sich in der Presse und in den sozialen Medien mittels Memes und Hastags über Männer hetzen, wie man es umgekehrt gegen Frauen, Ausländer oder Menschen anderer Hautfarbe als weiß auf keinen Fall öffentlich dürfte, ohne sich dafür eine Anzeige einzuhandeln?
Weil es nichts kostet. Der Preis, den diese Agitation kosten könnte, ist äußerst gering. Man bekommt keine Strafanzeige, es steht morgen kein Mob vor der Tür, der einen lynchen will, man wird auch nicht aus seiner Arbeitsstelle verdrängt oder gar gleich direkt gefeuert wegen untragbarem Verhalten (und Äußerungen, mit denen kein Unternehmen öffentlich in Verbindung gebracht werden will).
Schlichtweg: Es hat keine spürbaren Folgen. Keiner beschwert sich, keiner schlägt einen dafür, es nimmt einem auch keiner die finanzielle Grundlage des eigenen Lebens weg.
Es wird stillschweigend gebilligt.
Stillschweigend gebilligte ideologisch radikale Misanthropie gegen die eine Hälfte der Menschheit.
Dazu wird sie auch noch schöngeredet, indem, dass man den rhetorischen Trick anführt, diese Hälfte der Menschheit werde pausenlos von der anderen unterdrückt, ihrer Rechte beraubt, dürfte überhaupt gar nichts, und erfahre ausschließlich und als Alleinstellungsmerkmal pausenlos Gewalt verschiedenster Art, in allen Teilen der Erde, im reichen und wohlhabenden Westen gleichermaßen wie wo gesellschaftlich bitterste Armut herrscht; genauso gleichermaßen in Gegenden, wo man sich seine religiösen und andere Überzeugungen frei aussuchen darf ohne dass es Konsequenzen seitens des Staates oder seiner Organe gibt, wie in den Erdteilen, wo es eine verordnete Staatsreligion gibt und einer anderen zu folgen oder gar ungläubig (atheistisch) zu sein eine Straftat darstellt und gesellschaftliche Ausgrenzung herrscht, eventuell sogar begleitet mit Gewalt und Straffreiheit für diese für die Ausübenden.
- Ein “rhetorischer Trick” deshalb, weil es verkennt, welche Kämpfe die Vorfahrinnen in den wohlhabenden Erdteilen bereits geleistet haben, damit die Frauen der Gegenwart überhaupt das tun dürfen, was sie tun und wollen - darunter auch so menschenverachtend hetzen gegen die eine Hälfte der Menschheit.

Nazisprech mit der Vehemenz würde man nirgendwo so ungestraft stehen lassen, aber offenkundige Misandrie? Scheinbar eine Trivialität. “Habt euch doch nicht so!”, wie man da so sagen würde.
- Und da finde noch einer Gegenargumente zu der Behauptung “Männer werden in der Gesellschaft als Wegwerfware angesehen”... Was ist diese Hassrede sonst, die keinen #Aufschrei erzeugt? Die scheinbar niemanden vom Mainstream bewegt, etwas dagegen zu sagen?

Männer und die Dienste, die sie körperlich wegen ihres höheren Testosteronspiegels leisten können, werden ganz offensichtlich wie selbstverständlich erachtet, es wird als selbstverständlich erachtet, dass sie da sind, und diese Tätigkeiten ausführen - ähnlich wie die Selbstverständlichkeit aus vergangenen Zeiten (in den wohlhabenden Ländern; in denen es die (radikal-)feministische misandrische Propaganda auch gibt), dass zuhause eine Ehefrau da ist, die sich um Heim und Herd kümmert, ungeachtet dessen, ob sie das überhaupt will oder Talent dafür hat, und wenn nicht, dann darf man mit ihr sonstwie umgehen um sie “zu disziplinieren”, bis sie endlich “ihren Pflichten” gegenüber ihrem Ehemann nachkommt.

Kaum anders ist diese misandrische Hetze strukturiert - und, ähnlich wie in vergangenen Zeiten, findet kaum jemand offenkundig etwas falsches daran, respektive, dass äußerst viele im öffentlichen Leben das Maul dem gegenüber halten, aus Angst, selbst der Frauenfeindlichkeit beschuldigt zu werden, weil sie diese Ansammlung an geschlechtsbezogenem Hass nicht in Ordnung finden (von dem sonst behauptet wird, dass er vermeintlich “nicht geduldet” wird), oder - wenn dies von anderen Frauen kommen sollte - irgendwelchen anderen Unsinns wie “Stockholm-Syndrom” und “verinnerlichtem Hass gegen sich selbst und ihr Geschlecht” bezichtigt zu werden.

Anders ausgedrückt: Jeder Zeit sein Gift und Galle, und seine kritiklosen Mitläufer, die Angst vor dem Aufbegehren haben. Ebenso seine Egalität gegenüber dem propagierten haltlosen Hass.

(Offensichtlich ändern sich einige Dinge nie. - Insbesondere die, die von der menschlichen Psyche abhängig sind.)

Wenn man sich die Bemerkung mal erlauben darf: Mittlerweile braucht niemand mehr Angst haben vor einer rechten Durchseuchung der Gesellschaft - seit den Baseballschlägerjahren in den 90ern ist die Jugend inzwischen wieder merklich nach rechts gerückt, diesmal aber zusammen mit den Erwachsenen und nicht als alleinige Gesellschaftsschicht.
Und es wird bestimmt nicht nur an TikTok liegen und dass die populäre rechte Partei dieses Zeitgeistes dort als allererstes und am effektivsten mit der Werbung für ihre Ansichten und ihr Verständnis von der Welt begonnnen hat.

Was gibt man der Gesellschaft schließlich, insbesondere denen, die in die Unterschicht und die unteren Einkommensschichten geboren werden? Bildung? Möglichkeiten zur Entfaltung? Mittel um den erblich bedingten Mangel an Geld wieder auszugleichen? Eine Hierarchie, wo sozial adäquates Verhalten belohnt und grob regelwidriges Verhalten nachhaltig sanktioniert wird? Aufmerksamkeit - außerhalb von "guckt mal da, die Assis! die füttern wir noch unnötigerweise mit durch! kommt, lasst uns auf die einschlagen, wenn wir mal wieder über unsere eigenen Fehler reden müssten, aber keine dazu Lust haben! und nehmen wir ihnen auch noch das wenige Geld weg, was wir ihnen zukommen lassen! - Sollen gefälligst arbeiten gehen, das faule Pack!"?

An all dem genannten wird seit einer Ewigkeit kontinuierlich immer weiter gespart - und da soll etwas gutes herauskommen, wenn man alles sich selbst überlässt?
Wenn man Teile der Gesellschaft zielgerichtet vernachlässigt - wie ein Kind, das man verhungern lässt?
Und außer der eigenen, inzwischen hohl gewordenen Propaganda nichts weiteres anbietet?

...Die Logik ist in etwa so als wenn man beten sollte, um das Hungergefühl verschwinden zu lassen.
Esoterik und Quacksalberei statt etwas, was wirklich helfen würde.
Nicht verwunderlich also, dass sich die Zustände ebenso kontinuierlich immer nur verschlimmern und nichts verschwindet!
Und letztlich irgendwann die Parteimitglieder und die kleinen Mithelfer nur noch verspottet werden oder gar Gewalt gegen sie angewendet wird.
Was hat die Allgemeinheit schlicht sonst von ihnen? Hilfe? Linderung der Not?
Nein, nur einen Haufen selbsternannter "Heiler", die vermeintlich mit "Hand auflegen" Probleme lösen wollen.
Am besten dafür noch Geld verlangen wollen - oder Lohn verlangen in Form von "Treue", "Wählerstimmen" und tausend (leeren) Bekenntnissen zur (leer gewordenen) Demokratie.

Angesichts von um die Ecke stehenden "wilden" Sperrmülls, den dort schon seit mehreren Wochen niemand abgeholt oder beseitig hat, erinnert man sich ironischerweise daran, dass es da doch mal eine Gruppierung gab, die sich um die "Islamisierung des Abendlandes" besonders sorgte - und stellt fest, es sollten sich doch lieber die Leute über die Ghettoisierung (die Vermüllung, die konzentrierte Verlendung, den Verlust von Kinderstube und den Verlust von Allgemeinwissen) ihres Abendlandes Sorgen machen.
matrixmann: Perceiving a grain of sand in the desert (I see with the eyes of a hunter)
A phenomenon typical of this time episode: Perceiving everything and nothing through the filter of one’s political and one’s general world view. Every event that happens is being tried to make it fit into one’s personal agenda, even without making sure before if the factual situation actually allows it or suits.

Everyone is literally busy with vomiting their litanies and rants in another person’s face, whether demanded or not - those ones which they already had to offer before and tried to push through on other occasions, but which obviously weren’t convincing enough before, so they need to try another time to make them appear valid.

And it more and more happens even against the background of claims not applying to a certain event or subject. It increasingly isn’t important anymore if the content of the litanies and rants as well as the proclaimed “cures” actually are relevant or have a connection to the debated item.
matrixmann: (Standing one's ground)
Thinking deeper about it, there is a little aspect to point out which surely won’t be irrelevant to the protests against the Covid vaccinations and the conspiracy theories surrounding them all around the world - and in which, bizarrely, these have something in common with the “Fridays For Future” movement:

It’s that if a civilization reached such technological, scientific and cultural heights and masses of general means and gadgets that it starts to forget the very base it stands on.
It takes the safe bubble it created to live in as self-evident and as the original state of nature.
While actually it’s the most unnatural state of things. And you have to do something for it in order to exist.

For example: The effect of vaccines first becomes noticeable if they weren’t given anymore.
If masses of people didn’t receive them.
As vaccines against the famous diseases you can vaccinate against didn’t exist, people died way earlier than today, they died of way more trivial causes, a lot died before they got 18 years old (high rate of child mortality), and people who survived infections with either a virus or bacteria way more often carried lasting damages away from this (often: early childhood) encounter into their adult lives.
This is still the case in places on the earth where these vaccines aren’t available or too expensive for an average person to get.
So when they were invented and people realized infants as well as themselves stopped getting sick and die from those diseases after they were vaccinated, people became clear of a reason to do this for. - No more getting sick, suffering and dying from crap that can be avoided.

A huge example that people of all ages have a personal benefit from is the tetanus vaccination.
Before that, just a single scratch could lead to this type of infection, which in the end paralyzes the nerve tissue that controls muscles in the body and leads to death.
And it’s barely avoidable as the bacterium that causes it lives in nearly everything. It’s everywhere around you.

So so-called “skepticism” and active refusal and even claims like “vaccination is murder” are actually a call to fall back to these circumstances among the population.
How can anyone be so stupid to want that?
Well, the best answer to this is: Because people aren’t aware of why they can lead such a cozy life. Lack of basic education and a lot of manipulative info from sources that function no better than hocus pocus magical crap made to make money that was sold to people in the Middle Ages are to blame for this.

In common with “Fridays For Future” this state of the mind has: Also the members and agitprop activists of this movement aren’t aware of what the order they raise their claims on comes together from.
For example, they take for granted that smartphones exist, that the internet and their platforms to communicate on globally exist, that they live a life on earth where they don’t need to mind neither money nor material if they get sick of something and can simply throw it away as they please.
But all that first needed to be invented, then needs to be fabricated constantly and then needs to be maintained constantly.
Electricity isn’t produced by the wall because the wall is kind of bored and doesn’t know what to do with its time. It’s produced in a power plant, that power plant needs any type of “fuel” or gizmo that moves another gizmo, whose movement generates the electric energy in the end that they take from the wall socket at home. And that needs to be done constantly, not just whenever you want. - Or you’ll have to accept that electric energy isn’t constantly ready to use.
Means of saving energy for later aren’t invented yet, and as it it looks it will be like with rechargeable batteries: It ain’t lossless and the energy saved will vanish over time when not using it. - Unless you’d save the energy compressed in something material that you can easily store and backlog (that would be fossil fuels like coal, gas and petrol, for example).
Not to forget: A power plant producing electric energy first needs to be built in order to serve the purpose to supply you with electricity in the wall socket.

The self-evidence of the presence of the internet is another issue of that umbrella.
The internet comes together by thousands of servers (and, in a simple sense, “computers”), interconnected with each other, running 24/7 all around the year. If you think that you can only switch these on when you need them, then most of the time nobody will be able to read your crap.
Because these computers keep masses of data ready to access for whoever wants to read them at any time of the day. - All the viewers that checked your stuff in the meantime you slept, worked or were at school, they could do that because someone else keeps your data ready and accessible all the time.
If your data didn’t lie on someone else’s server, you’d have to keep your own computer plugged to the net all around the clock, even when you’re absent and not at home, or nobody could read the crap that you post and pay attention to you.

Thousands of computers running at the same time, waiting for somebody to seek a connection with them with his personal computer or cell-phone - anyone who isn’t stupid gets an idea what kind of huge effort that is to keep up every day?
The internet isn’t “simply there”, it’s a complex infrastructure, like a net of tarred roads that you can comfortably drive on, and to be “there”, it needs to be made to come into existence.
Another thing that you have to keep ready to use and cannot just switch on and off whenever you want to use it yourself. The effort made in order to keep it up has to be constantly the same at all times or it won’t work as well as you know it.

Not even to get started on the third example: Their own lifestyle and the lifestyle of the family they live in...
Their parents go to work daily, in most cases don’t share a car because they’ve got to go to two completely different places, their parents don’t work near their home but in other towns and commute, they want to make it to buy a nice house, own a big car, save money so each of their kids can have a driver’s license and an own car as soon as the kids are legally permitted to drive, want 1 or 2 family vacations each year at least - and they don’t want their kids to miss any trend in order to not be socially excluded among their peers.
Last but not least, they also try to save up money from anywhere, on top, to send their kids to university (like university wasn’t something which you have to have the brains first and you can’t tell that from the first day of a child’s life).
All that until the kids get “aware” (their “Fridays For Future”-type of getting “aware”).
Anyone of them who pointed it out to themselves how much of an ecological footprint that already is until they reach “awareness”?
And that’s not even counting their own behavior in this calculation...

Reduced and collected in a short summary that is: No, kiddo, you’re not going to save the world now by going vegan, eating meat-replacement made from soybeans, peas and wheat!
Which, by the way, doesn’t reduce your footprint very much if they actually come from Brazil, like the beef steaks you ate before. (Anyone who praises the meat-replacement products asked where the substance they’re made of comes from?)

And, talking about “recycling”, how about that you wear the clothes of your elder siblings that are still alright - like poor people do?
Or that you use a technical gadget for 10 years or more? Repair it? Tinker around with it, so it can still be of service with new technical standards? Use it until it literally falls apart?
“Learn from the poor” is the correct motto in this issue, just as a reminder, not holding big public speeches and claim whatever the heck comes to your mind from adults how they shall behave.

By the way, skipping school to march on a rally - do these kids have any idea what kind of privilege they throw away thoughtlessly for just a little stomp on the ground of their inconsistent minds?
Kids in Africa and India and whatever places on earth not as rich as the first world dream of going to school instead of having to go to work and already earn some, so the family, including them, has something to eat and doesn’t need to freeze.
School is like the key to a better life, to more life quality and to a better job - and these kids take it so much for granted that they think they can spare it!!
Not even to speak of that they seem to think school without paying hundreds of bucks for it is a world standard!
If their rallies had a connection to something that went wrong in school, but no... it’s about “pointing the adults at doing something to stop climate change”.
Like - next time they go on a strike because the pocket money is too low...

This is social relations, making a plea, not doing something for a certain objective.
And then formulating one’s plea on a pretty high niveau of prosperity. Leaving one’s own role aside, acting like one doesn’t exist and does nothing wrong, but only all other people.

...You see how both have a similarity here?
Avoiding to mind one’s own base of a living, sect-like structures that want to make everyone convert, but they have very few to really say if you check them in the details.
If you fact-check them or check for doability, you find them two live in a dreamy world made of soap bubbles. Harboring an image of the world that doesn’t correspond with the reality.

When do you encounter such phenomena?
Mostly when a civilization is almost at its end. When people forget what their life as they know it is based on and take it for granted that they can eat grapes all day long (figuratively). And, on the other hand, can afford to dive deep down into their human interactions all day long. Be busy with the “he says, she says” and what is the correct way to worship and appreciate whatever the heck.
Act like their human quarrels are the most important thing in the world, like someone is watching and only waiting to interfere and deliver them from their anger towards each other.

(Someone discovers similarities in this description too?)
matrixmann: (Standing one's ground)
Some observation that I have made regarding this current zeitgeist and the mindset of the new young generation (time-wise to be sorted as “Generation Z”):

Previous generations were oriented towards “making it themselves”, achieving something through their own powers and skills, having internalized the rule “there is no gain without effort before”.
They show the tendency, if wanting a particular item or non-material good, to first start to rack their brains how they can get to their goal themselves and do rather ask for help in order to add strength to their own efforts or because someone else might have the direct competence over what they wish.
Problems are regarded as their, and only their, issue and they try to solve it themselves, even if having to dare trying a few times.

While the new young generation (aka “Generation Z”) has a somewhat strange and totally different attitude to take life on.
The most their mindset reminds oneself to a child which constantly heads over to Mom to appeal to her whenever they’re confronted with anything they don’t know or harbor the feeling about that they can’t overcome it through their own abilities.
They quickly reach out for help - but not in order to strengthen their weak powers; they directly want someone else to do the job for them at best. Without having to do or invest anything of their own energy in it.
Also, they quickly give up if something doesn’t work as they have imagined it to. It’s like no-one ever taught them that trying eventually leads to success - by making mistakes, by correcting them the next time, until their dexterity and skill level is high enough so that they can overcome the obstacle or master the task given.
And their imaginations about how something works are also very naive, incomplete, overly idealistic, utopian. Lacking firm knowledge in practical things, as well as what particular entities in this world do and how they are interconnected with each other.

The question of social justice is also very differently understood in their grasp of the human world.
While the previous generation believed in own action and had trust in what their own hands can shape, the new young generation bets on inability to cause influence on their fate through their own powers and believes in systematic predetermination based on one’s flesh. On one’s overall bodily features, one’s inborn desires, one’s national and/or cultural heritage - like talent is everything that makes the shooting star and not honing the raw diamond into a jewel.

Again, features of a situation like a child steadily heading over to Mom and appealing to her to do something for oneself come to show.
Everything is and/or has to be perfect from the start, there is no trying or that trying creates the masterpiece. You are what you are born as and can’t get any step further than that. So the world, instead, has to have regard for you all the time and take into account your inborn features.
It has to deliver you what you need to live and what you desire, like owning something to you for never lending a dime, and if the world doesn’t comply with the claim, it’s evil, oppressive - people who get it even though are “privileged” and not maybe have done something to receive anything back, didn’t deserve it by the efforts of their hands and mind.

In other words, you can also compare it to a dogmatic faith to a deity. The deity gives, the deity takes, but humans themselves are powerless and need to rely on the mercy of the God they worship.
But without the duty to bring up material sacrifices and do everything it takes to have the attention and satisfaction of the deity, so that it will continue to drop gifts to them which they live of.
A total “the sky drops what I need, and if doesn’t drop anything, I’ll wait forever until it does”-mindset. Dependence and unspoken claims that are being mistaken as self-evident in life.

Like a kid which never was allowed to live on its own - also, like a kid which understood that you best make it to your goal if you let other people do the job for you.
And the kids were seemingly born into surroundings and a larger social culture which uncritically complied with that strategy. Which didn’t ever really raise a finger and said “Hey, kid, nothing is for free and you’re already big enough to do something on your own, you’re not in my womb anymore and need extra-protection!”.
Which easily danced according to their pipe, if they learned how to twist people around their little finger safely.

Even their kinds to act out violence seem influenced by this “other people do what I want them to”-circumstance.
While in the previous generation, direct violence and direct duels to settle something were still common, including the unwritten rule of “mercy for the one who lost”, the folks from Generation Z have internalized all imaginable types of passive-aggressive violence: Bullying, deceiving, lying, provoking, offending, frazzling out, hunting one down with online-harassment and photographs etc..
Types of violence that always make them look like they haven’t done anything wrong and the victim is the evildoer if it reacts to their acting or loses it.
And if they practice direct violence, you’ll experience it rather as an unstopped orgy to spill blood - because something like the unwritten rule “mercy for the one who lost” doesn’t exist for them. Empathy for one’s victim doesn’t exist, complete and total destruction is what they seek - and they also greatly underestimate their own physical powers. How quickly their beating and kicking can kill someone or at least harm the person irreversibly for life.

Again, like a mommy’s darling. A spoiled brat which barely ever heard the world say “no” to its wishes, who never learned how to deal with this denial emotionally - with this realization “the world isn’t entirely about me” -, and which, on the other hand, wasn’t taught much of anything how this world actually works. How very, very not bad it is if they have to find something out on their own and that it takes time to become.
Also, which forgets that even mommy is a human being, that she isn’t an unquestionable God, so that she automatically distributes resources and gifts completely fairly.
Meaning, that if claiming social justice on a larger level of society, it’s also going to be carried out by humans and they can all be biased towards or against somebody or a whole group. The firm “universal social justice” that lasts for all days they seek is actually a myth, a dream.
Much rather it’s like a constant fight, a constant struggle for realignment that happens every now and then.

Such is life which requires permanent effort to harvest fruits of success, and not one big new re-arrangement how resources will be distributed and everything will be fine from then.

According to how this young generation is minded and what it demands from the world (socially as well as politically), you can always puzzle together an image of how they must have been raised to become like this...
And - this cannot have been a good base.

If people get so confused about their identity, if they’re male or female, if they have no proper differentiated understanding that they can have psychical shares of both sexes and need a new word for it (like it’s an unknown species that no-one has previously discovered or dared to give a name to), if they are clueless about a personality generally being fluid to a certain extent (that’s what you call “moods”)... Then they cannot have been properly welcomed and introduced to the world.
More than that, they must have been given nothing to orientate by.
Not properly developed, they wander through an endless fog of uncertainty...
Parents who weren’t good at nurturing - society which wasn’t good at delivering clear rules and structures.

Imagine living in a spooky amusement park, and you don’t know what’s right and what’s wrong to take of its rides.
Or what of them may behead you.
That’s what they originally tumbled around in life, and while growing up they have adapted to these surroundings. Adopting the habit to not do anything themselves, or doing it just for the positive reaction they get, and rather try to get other people to do something particular for them who they witness at being more skilled, for example.
Performing the behavior of a little child rather than that of an adult.
Learning how to do all those techniques to pretend, deceive and manipulate which their parents already used to hide and mask the lack in character and cognitive skills they already had.


...If you ask me, if nobody seriously tries to make up for all the stuff this generation missed with them together, you don’t want to see the day when the members of it become parents.
‘Cause they’re going to suck big style and leave behind an even more cognitively and mentally neglected generation than the ones before as a Generation Z.
And, actually, if you’re fair and took it on from the root, you’d also have to sit down with the parents from Generation Y and X over their own personal deficits - because it’s them who bred the generation debated about.
Something must have happened or changed drastically in the surroundings these lived in as adults, from when they were children and teens themselves, so that they raised such kids.

As much as the Afghanistan war remained an apple of discord throughout the whole time of the 20 years the occupation of the Western troops lasted because of the shady reasons it was started with, it also simultaneously and silently became a train you couldn’t just jump off anymore and quit tomorrow.

Now with their departure, the tactical and political changes of the coming weeks and months will be a proof of that - and, at the same time, it will lay down the sad record of that the two biggest and strongest armies in modern history - the US army + its NATO associates and the Soviet Army - couldn’t rip out the root of exaggerated Islamic religion in this region and create a united country called “Afghanistan” that can claim its rank in the modern world order.
Be that that the religious extremism was just started and about to be strengthened (the Afghanistan war of the Soviet Union) or that it is a result of past foreign engagements gone wrong (the support of the US for the mujaheddin fighters in the 80s to make the Soviet Union fall; the support of the Syrian rebels, which were mostly if not entirely Islamic extremists as well, and by that helping creating the Islamic State, strengthening Islamic religious motivated terrorism and systematic violence on the whole and in the whole Middle East area) and that it outgrows one’s own powers and finances that one was originally willing to sacrifice for this endeavor (the Afghanistan war of the US and the NATO troops that were still deployed there).

It’s hard to guess how much the decay inside these big players make out a share in their respective defeat...
As a question to those two wars you can leave behind if how war itself is being led in these modern times hasn’t changed too much from the scheme of firm organized and equipped armies fighting each other on the battlefield, as it still was the case in WWII and its later offshoots around the world.

For this specific case, you can put on the record - as bitter, brutal and cynical it may sound: As long as the residents of this country who aren’t involved in religious extremism aren’t willing themselves to take a different path, to organize and do something to drive this out of their country, to rip this root of war and violence out in their society once and for all and harshly sanction it, as long as they rather flee abroad or to Europe, giving in to the order that a guerrilla army imposes on them - as long as that remains the case, this country won’t ever be peaceful and “free” again (whatever anyone wants to imagine under the term “free”).

That Afghanistan which even received a seat in the Intercosmos program and could see one of their citizens fly into space to the Mir station will be missing for a very, very long time now...

Letzte Woche kam Söder, jetzt kommt Königin Schwesig - warum machen eigentlich nicht alle Bundesländer demnächst, was sie wollen?!
Je weiter die Daumenschrauben ohne Sinn und Verstand angezogen werden, desto mehr wird sich Querdenken im Frühling freuen über so viel neuen Zulauf - nicht, weil die Leute nicht an Corona glauben oder den Ballweg so toll finden, sondern weil sie von dem ständigen Hin und Her und der Drangsaliererei der Länderchefs (ohne ihr Parlament!) gründlich die Schnauze voll haben!!
Statt ständig neuer Maßnahmen und Verschärfungen (Haben wirklich alle Deutsche einen Fetisch mit "Härte", dass das rhetorisch ständig so betont werden muss?! Erzählt doch nichts!!), wie wäre es denn mal, wenn ihr endlich mit eurem Impfstoff auf dem Mustopf kommt?!
Wochen- und monatelang wurde vom Heiland geschwärmt und die Erlösung versprochen - jetzt ist sie da und ihr Schnarchnasen vermasselt es, euch rechtzeitig Impfdosen vorzubestellen!!
Bei dem Tempo, was Deutschland bei seinem Impfprogramm an den Tag legt, da ist man ja in Jahren noch nicht fertig! Selbst die Schneckenpost ist schneller!!

Es ist wirklich symptomatisch für dieses Land - außer Niedriglohn, Ausbeutung und billiges Schweinefleisch, was können die hier noch? Keinen Bahnhof kriegen sie fertig, keinen Flughafen gebaut, keinen Breitbandausbau gemacht, keinen Fernunterricht organisiert, keine Schulabgänger ausgebildet und eingestellt, die Wälder fackeln ihnen im Sommer ab - und sie fliegen immer noch mit einem militärischen Frachtflieger, der ein halbes Jahrhundert alt ist, weil sie keinen anständigen Nachfolger flugtauglich gemacht kriegen.
Wenn nicht ausländische Firmen ihnen noch eine Gaspipeline bauen würden, würden sie das auch nicht hinbekommen...
Ihre Kinder verlöden lassen, das können sie - weil sie sie schon früh vor das Smartphone parken. Weil westdeutsche Politik beim öffentlichen Bildungswesen seit den 80er Jahren kontinuierlich abbaut.
Warum fehlen da die Fachkräfte? Na? Schuld eigene!!

Ein marodes Land, was auf äußerst wackeligen Füßen steht.
Durch die Corona-Pandämie wird es eigentlich nur noch deutlicher, dass sie bis jetzt großes Glück hatten, dass nicht irgendwer oder irgendetwas mal einen scharfen Wind auf diese porösen Stelzen losgelassen hat! Wenn dort nämlich mal ein gehöriger Fön bläst, dann fällt das Kartenhaus in sich zusammen...
Und alle 80+ Millionen sitzen mittendrin.
Fabelhaft!

Actually, the charge of the Capitol is just the tip of the ice berg of a development that's been going on for longer in the United States.
It's an event displaying the deep split within the US society and its political system, as well it's an expression of two very sharply opposing forces which both firmly believe to have found the Holy Grail and be on a mission from the Lord itself, while they're just both streams trying to force their understanding of how the world works upon the rest of the society governed by them.

In other words, to the people lesser educated about the US: Intersectionality is just radical racism and sexism through the backdoor, it doesn't change anything, and violent anti-racist protests and arbitrary juristic accusations against whoever is in the wrong place at the wrong time aren't going to fix your country (neither they bake you a loaf of bread) - just like a drifting back to nostalgia, glorifying golden economic ages which are no more, displaying one's guns in public all the time, disregarding the rules what one's country is made of and governed by, believing in bullshit theories about getting younger and 150 years old through the blood of children, stepping on the lesser financially fortunate and steadily disputing over if the poor deserve to get any handouts like social benefits and a general health insurance (because they're supposedly "of no use to anyone") isn't going to make anything turn to the better.

Each side needs to take a step back from their replacement religion and recognize it for what it is: Something that only takes places in their heads. Imagination.
And then take a precise pragmatic look at what the problems are - facts, not faith.

(It isn't called "theory" for nothing... "Theory" means "explanation pattern lacking scientific proof for it".)

In the case of US society drifting apart and being shortly before fighting each other physically, all supporters of both fractions can take a good look at themselves, if they search someone to blame.
It's your fault altogether!

Just so you heard it for once...
matrixmann: (Thinking)
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.

A smugly pharisaic cult that calls itself “progressive”, but which doesn’t have anything to do with the traditional left, and which even highly contradicts itself, so that it neither makes sense, nor does it firmly tell what it wants the world to turn into, goes viral during those years, trying to take over the public discourse and police everybody’s thoughts, everybody’s words, fill everybody’s sane feeling of “doing nothing wrong” arbitrarily with fear and shame of possibly doing the wrong with their every move (and that being the fault of their lives). It researches internet histories for just the smallest in violations of a mindset/ideology which barely anyone outside of its circles understands and supports.
They do that in order to be able to appeal to the mob to “hang the perpetrator higher”, much less like leftists, but more like just ordinary egomaniacs whose world circulates entirely around themselves and which can’t let anybody live anything else that they don’t understand or approve.
Meanwhile, even former allies don’t seem safe from that self-righteous method, once they take a single stance which the “cult” mob disapproves. Everything that they don’t agree with becomes a fatal lashing out against everyone to ruin their lives because they deem it “legitimate” to do so.

This... isn’t leftist. It’s the classic strategy from the right to ban everything they don’t approve. To cleanse the world from material, ideas and thought which they arbitrarily deem “a sin” out of whatever conservative or religious mindset. Or out of fear from anything which can become dangerous to their power inside the political system.
This isn’t even progressive ‘cause it downright paralyzes progress. You can see it its effects: People shut their mouths or censor their own speech in advance in order to not become victim of the all-destroying lash that outlaws you and calls for making your life miserable as long as you live (calling straight down for your suicide would be illegal), necessary debates disappear from the screen, unpopular as well as factually wrong or controversial stances move to the underground and develop themselves further in the darkness where barely anyone gets to know how their stories continue, people shy away from making public speeches or actually enter practicing an activity in the public and the public culture turns into a one-sided mash of monoculture which doesn’t reflect peoples’ everyday life nor the reality overall.

That is the very nature of what one knows from dogmatic theocracies as well as totalitarian dictatorships - only this time, there’s a different bunch of people sitting in the seats who command it. Not old white heterosexual men, but old and young, heterosexual as well as homo- and bisexual, binary and nonbinary, gender-reaffirmed as well as cis, black, brown and white men, women and neutrois. Who, instead of working with the gun and the threat of physical execution, work with brutal shaming and outlawing, leaving it either to the victim itself to beat itself up over its “misbehavior” or to someone unassociated and anonymous who wants to to carry out the dirty work, letting it appear like an accident, an overshoot or something else which they can’t be held responsible for because that “was an individual’s decision we disassociate from”.
