Wolfgang Reinhard | But it is the central ritual of the democratic theater state

“Politicians who want to stay in power have to keep the voters happy, even though the election itself is only symbolic. But it is the central ritual of the democratic theater state. After all, it is no longer about substantive decisions, but only about the confirmation or replacement of political figureheads, who are legitimized by the fact that citizens are allowed to perform this ritual. This symbolically reinforces the fiction of popular sovereignty on which modern constitutional states are founded. In this way, and not through substantive decisions, elections contribute…

Michael Rivero | Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker

“Most people prefer to believe their leaders are just and fair even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which they live is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of a corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one’s self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to…

Thomas Paine | A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong

Anita Hofmann | by practicing a state on a small scale, namely at school

“This is about: What is actually best for children and young people? And how do they get their education and how do they become citizens?

Lysander Spooner | Majorities, as such, afford no guarantees for justice

“Majorities, as such, afford no guarantees for justice. They are men of the same nature as minorities. They have the same passions for fame, power, and money, as minorities; and are liable and likely to be equally – perhaps more than equally, because more boldly – rapacious, tyrannical and unprincipled, if intrusted with power.” Lysander Spooner “Mehrheiten als solche bieten keine Garantien für Gerechtigkeit.

Jacques Élisée Reclus | the policy of hatred always breeds hatred

Yuval Noah Harari | “I think maybe in a couple of decades when people look back

“I think maybe in a couple of decades when people look back, the thing they will remember from the Covid crisis is this is the moment when everything went digital and this was the moment when everything became monitored, that we agreed to be surveilled all the time, not just in authoritarian regimes, but even in democracies and maybe most importantly, this was the moment when surveillance started going under the skin, because really we haven’t seen anything yet. I think that the big process that’s happening right now, the…

Prof. Reiner Mausfeld | A ‘war against X’ decreed from above

“A ‘war against X’ decreed from above – be it against ‘terror’ or against a pandemic – is never about what is declared to be fought.

The Analyst (Matrix) | His Matrix was all fussy facts and equations

“Now, my predecessor loved precision. His Matrix was all fussy facts and equations. He hated the human mind. So he never bothered to realize that you don’t give a shit about facts.

Dr. Robert Malone | Techno-fascism for the rest of their natural lives as serfs

Alexis de Tocqueville | the species of oppression by which democratic nations

„I think then that the species of oppression by which democratic nations are menaced is unlike anything which ever before existed in the world: our contemporaries will find no prototype of it in their memories. I am trying myself to choose an expression which will accurately convey the whole of the idea I have formed of it, but in vain; the old words “despotism” and “tyranny” are inappropriate: the thing itself is new; and since I cannot name it, I must attempt to define it. I seek to trace the…
