I never knew what the strange word "alienating" exactly describes. I've never used it, that word, because I'm rarely ashamed, and situations where I accidentally go naked to a good cryptoparty have not yet taken place.
For some time, more specifically, since it seems acceptable to say aloud the most absurd ideas of having a chair delivered in the morning, I am ashamed - presumably. If ashamed that feeling is, as if the stomach suddenly had a voice with which he whispers: Oh man, no, do not do that.
The theories of vaccine opponents, anti-abortionists, flat-doer conspiracy theorists, democracy and minority critics, leave me astonished. As if it were today absolutely necessary to give the unassailable, to disappear in the pleasant mass and not to attract attention.
So I am sometimes ashamed of adult people expressing their fear of being insignificant (which is almost always justified) by murmurs and whines. They write comments, fill blogs, they climb on beer crates and warn.
Little understanding, a lot of shouting
They are very keen to warn women, science, progress, people with higher levels of melanin in the skin, or simply - especially. Anxiety sufferers like to express their concerns with open letters to anyone. They form associations against alienation, multicultural thinking, against abortion, women's parking lots and the weather. Like here, for example.
All these types of expression à la "We want the Emperor back" seem, as if signers and initiators, commentators and speakers stick a note on his forehead, which says: I can not keep up!
Open letter. Great thing, by the way. It's time for me to design one. So, goose feather, look at Goethe's bust, hand on the chin and off you go:
A letter against the unpleasant feeling of shame that is increasingly bothering our inner stomach walls!
We, the undersigned (including many academics on board), are fed up with mostly male people in what is primarily the last quarter of life, who are currently screaming on inner beer crates for a blessing-like past that never existed.
We refrain from the harassment we have to experience through persons who can not grasp that we are living in a time of exponential acceleration and that, with all their pleasant and unpleasant side effects, not through petitions, by choosing reactionary dull minds or stopping the marching in fraternizing men's associations.
We, the undersigned, urge you to: sit down. Fight in letters, on the net or 1.0 against anything that really threatens the population of your countries. The war which the right or so-called conservative representative parties of the super-rich are conducting against the poorer classes of the population. Climate change. The increase of extinct diseases caused by conspiring vaccinationists, the endangerment of cyclists, the unequal treatment of their fellow citizens, who are not in possession of a penis, against the congestion of the world, against the shedding of water and soil, from housing and against the damned Privatization of social property. Like to fight against mega-corporations and surveillance, against stupid digitization of sensitive data. Or read a good book.
Many Thanks.
