: futuresounds: es ist die zeit der monster
...die zunehmenden sozioökonomischen Widersprüche der alten, im Sterben liegenden Welt treiben die Staaten, die noch nicht zerfallen sind, in Konflikt - und sie lassen Krisenideologien wie den Faschismus und Islamismus aufkommen. Die krisengeschüttelte kapitalistische Welt befindet sich am Rande eines Großkriegs. Die Parallelen zu der Vorkriegszeit in den 30er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts mit dem Aufstieg des Faschismus und ihrer monströsen Geopolitik - vom Münchener Abkommen bis zum Erwürgen der spanischen Republik - sind evident.

The ruling order had lost its capacity to lead through consent. The masses had drifted away from traditional ideologies and toward a structure of feeling that awaited full articulation. The horizon was open....
The rest, as we know, is history.
There was a more recent moment in Germany when the ongoing crisis of the ruling order became painfully apparent, a crisis that pitted cold reason against the pitiful emotions of the Gutmenschen (“do-gooders”), as well as the entire human-rights infrastructure that the world so laboriously built after the horrors of the early twentieth century. This was the moment when Angela Merkel’s now-infamous statement “Wir schaffen das!” (“We can do this!”) was met with refusal, ridicule, and hate. Merkel first uttered these words on August 31, 2015 after speaking about the challenge of integrating Syrian refugees into...
